What kind of computer are you using that doesn’t let you select text on a pdf?

Some PDFs are scanned and don’t have correct OCR.

Then why else would you be reading scanned pdfs and be bothered that you can’t select the text on them?

not as much as when a website tries to do the same.

I can think of no other reason why someone would be reading scanned pdfs and irritated by their inability to select text.

fair enough. I can think of a few

  • education level other than college
  • scientific research
  • non-scientific research
  • technical research
  • reading those books that google scanned (i don’t think they are OCR’d but maybe i am wrong)
  • reading a page you scanned yourself, or that someone else scanned.

These are all academic reasons that are close enough to my speculation.

  • reading those books that google scanned (i don’t think they are OCR’d but maybe i am wrong)

Perhaps for a college assignment? Why else would you need to select the text?

  • reading a page you scanned yourself, or that someone else scanned.

Like for a college assignment.

lol.

if this was for a college assignment, i would give you half a credit for trying to bring your original argument home.

Maybe yhwx has a ‘thing’ where he just likes to select text while reading… (FOR A COLLEGE ASSIGNMENT)

Who said the PDFs are academic texts? They could be almost anything.

The real question is not if it is scanned but whether or not you can select the text after it was scanned.

Of course. Unlike yhwx I only use pdfs of the highest quality.
