How to select multiple non-consecutive items in a PDF file in preview for cut and paste
Hello. Is it possible to select multiple non-consecutive items in a PDF file in Preview for cut and paste? In Word (or Pages, etc) one can select a word or phrase then hold Command (Apple Key) and select another, then another, then Ctrl/C to copy all the selected items and then Ctrl/V paste them (e.g. into a spreadsheet). Within Preview, that holding down of Command to select multiple items doesn’t work; the previous selection un-selects as a new one is selected, so it’s copy/paste one item at a time which is very inefficient for the work that I'm trying to do. I've tried a couple of other keys (Control, Option, Shift) but none work for selection of non-consecutive words or phrases.
Any help is very much appreciated.... Thanks.... Peter
