How to copy text from PDFs

With Nebo, you can easily select & copy text content from your PDFs, and paste it anywhere you want — into your Nebo notes or any other app — saving you precious time.

Select and copy PDF text

  1. Long press anywhere on text from your PDF to trigger text selection.
  2. Move the handles to adjust the range of your text selection.
  3. In the edit menu, choose Copy.

Once PDF text is copied, you can paste it anywhere as raw text.

Important Note:  You can copy text from PDF files originally created from text documents. However, if your PDF was created from an image with text, the text is embedded within the image and cannot be converted or extracted.
