I’ve scanned some books into DT3. They are .pdfs to which I applied DT3’s OCR to Searchable PDF command, making them “PDF + Text” files.
If I highlight a section of the page, it copies fine, and pastes fine into another document.
But … if I try to highlight from the first few characters of the page, it selects the entire page, and pastes two things into the new document: an image of the entire page (.jp2), followed by the highlighted text. I can select the .jp2 image of the entire page and delete it, leaving me the pasted text I wanted.
Here are three images to illustrate. First, here’s what it looks like if I highlight a section of the page not including the first few characters.
Now, here’s what it looks like if try to copy just a small section from the first characters of the page. Notice it highlights the entire page.
And finally, here’s what it looks like if I paste into another document. Remember, I highlighted only three lines. But it gives me an image file of the entire page and then the pasted text of the three lines I copied.
Is there anything I can do about this?
