PDF viewer with selection support?
I need to copy and paste some text strings from PDF document.
To my suprise - PDF viewers generaly don't support selecting text.
For example in epdfview and in gv I can't find way to select text with mouse.
In xpdf it is possible, but it isn't very natural (try it yourself).
Are there any other good PDF viewers with selection support?
Or do you know how to enable it in epdfview?

Re: PDF viewer with selection support?
when you create a PDF you can deny copy, printing and other stuff. maybe the pdf document has copy text deny and you cannot select any text
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Indeed.. it wouldbe indecent for a PDF viewer to be able to bypass the purpose of putting something into a restricted PDF.

works fine in KPDF as well, use right-mouse button and select something.
