Issue with Copying Text from PDF

doosik71
I have been using Zotero 7 and find it to be an excellent tool for researchers.

However, I am encountering an issue with the newly released version 7. When trying to copy text from a PDF with more than two pages, only a part of the text is copied.

I would greatly appreciate it if this issue could be fixed.

    Do you have an example PDF to share?

    Thank you for the quick reply.

    The issue I mentioned is not limited to specific PDF files; it occurs with all PDF documents.

    For example, if you select text from pages 6 to 8 of the PDF and try to copy it to the clipboard, only the content from pages 6 and 7 is copied, while the text from page 8 does not get copied.

    This issue consistently occurs when copying text that spans more than two pages; the text from the third page onward is not copied.

    Thank you!

    OK, thank you. I can reproduce on macOS and Linux, on both release and beta versions

    This should be fixed in the latest beta, 7.1-beta.1.

    Yes, it is fixed. Thank you.
