PDF Paste

cormac-ccormac-c2k downloads

Improve copy-paste from PDFs by cleaning newlines and hyphens.

  • Overview

  • Updates1

When copying text from PDFs or other sources, you often end up with ugly formatting, unwanted newlines, and hyphenated line breaks. PDF paste cleans up the formatting, fitting better into your notes.

Demo of plugin

Usage

You can search for the command by hitting CTRL/CMD + P then searching for PDF Paste.

I also recommend setting a hotkey, I use Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + V but you can pick something that works for you. The hotkey can be set at "Settings -> Hotkeys -> PDF Paste".

Installation

To install the plugin, go to "Settings -> Community Plugins -> PDF Paste"
