           Summary: Feature-request: Export to clipboard as cleartext
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: danielklejnstrup at gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: okular

I use okular mainly for converting PDF's into cleartext, and has written a lot
of parsers for the output.
I've tried to use pdftotext (with the -layout option) instead, but it doesn't
seem to produce the exact same format as okular.
I also prefer okular over a command-line tool for this job, since a lot of
endusers should be able to use it easily.
I need to end up with the cleartext in the clipboard, and the only way that's
possible, as of now, is to export to a file, open that file, and copy the
content.
"edit → select all, edit → copy" produces a different format (discarding layout
- see the url)
I would love to see a feature like "File -> Export -> To clipboard as
cleartext" that produces the exact same format as the existing export to
cleartext - It will save me a lot of time for sure!
While you're at it, please add some keyboard shortcuts to the export options.
:)

Reproducible: Always
