Send to Illustrator

Do you want to crop images or text out of a PDF file and use it in your desktop publisher software like Adobe Illustrator? PDF Copy Paste helps you a lot.

 

Click the Send to Illustrator Illustrator button. No copy-and-paste any more!

 

Select your desired graphical element, and click the Send To Illustrator icon Illustrator on the tool bar, or from the menu Send->Send To Illustrator. Done!

 

PDF Copy Paste first searches for an active Adobe Illustrator window, and decides if your desired content can be copied and pasted into the active window; the software would otherwise create a new Illustrator document, and paste the content into the new document.

 

This feature saves your efforts that you would otherwise spend on the boring operations, copy and paste. All are combined to one mouse click.

 

Here are two examples,

 

Example A: Send a portion of a PDF file to Adobe Illustrator

 

1. Start PDF Copy Paste

2. Use the cropping tool to select your desired graphical element

3. Click the Send To Illustrator Illustrator button on the tool bar

4. Wait for a few seconds until the Connecting to Illustrator... message disappears from the status bar, and see your selected portion is sent to an Adobe Illustrator window.

 

Example B: Send a full page to Adobe Illustrator

 

1. Start PDF Copy Paste

2. Navigate to the page of your interest

3. Click the Send To Illustrator Illustrator button on the tool bar

4. Wait for a few seconds until the Connecting to Illustrator... message disappears from the status bar, and see your selected portion is sent to an Adobe Illustrator window.

 

Note: You can only send your selected portion or your PDF page as an image to Adobe Illustrator. If you wish to send your content to Adobe Illustrator as searchable text, you have to copy it as text and paste it to the text area in Adobe Illustrator document.
