I can not select text or image for copy from pdf and djvu documents
Example how it works on Windows: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bx6ITu9-_LFwQjViaEtMRmMtN2M
Providing an example PDF, plus version info for "evince" and "poppler" is welcome.
$ rpm -q evince evince-3.6.1-2.fc18.i686
Example djvu file https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0nwzlfiB4aQNDV3WG5lc01QMkE
$ rpm -q evince-djvu evince-djvu-3.6.1-2.fc18.i686 $ rpm -q djvulibre-libs djvulibre-libs-3.5.25.3-2.fc18.i686
(In reply to comment #0) > I can not select text or image for copy from pdf and djvu documents En evince is possible to select text and copy it (that is when the document has text and it is not an image inserted). That said, please submit a PDF test case.
On my video, you can see that I copy text as text to MS Office from djvu file from comment #4.

We can not reproduce a bug if we do not have a PDF test case that shows it does not work. I can also upload a video that shows copying the text working and that would leave us in the same place. Please, upload a test case where copying text does not work, so we can reproduce the bug by ourselves.

You do not need to upload the whole document. Just one page that shows if fails is enough. > I upload it to Google Drive and share with all. > > https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0nwzlfiB4aQNDV3WG5lc01QMkE/edit Thanks. I took only the page 3 and I attached to the bug. I also updated the summary line, because the problem you describe is only for DJVU files. If you have a PDF test case, then attached it or file another bug.
It turned out that this bug was already filed. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448739 As one of the comments says, you can mimic the selection and press control-C (copy) and then paste it in another application and it works. What is missing is the rendering part of the selection. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 448739 ***
Oh I see. What about selection and copy as picture???? file another bug?
(In reply to comment #16) > Oh I see. What about selection and copy as picture???? file another bug? I think it would be better another bug (maybe referencing bug 448739).
I better reopened this, and update the subject.
