I have a drupal 7 website up and running but my client needs to copy / paste information from more than 100 pdf files daily to different posts.

He managed to do that but it seems there's no way to do it without copy the pdf text styles (bold, paragraphs, etc).

He is using windows 7 and tried with the latest iexplorer, chrome and firefox.

It doesn't matter if he opens the pdf files directly on the browser (in a new tab) or if he downloads them; the results are the same.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Are you using a WYSIWYG editor? Most have an option to paste as text.

It would have to be a WYSIWYG editor, since otherwise he'd just get the plain text. Anyway, right... enable the "paste as text" button in the config of whatever WYSIWYG editor you are using (this is one reason I prefer the simplicity of BUEditor, which can actually have a lot more features than we are using here on d.o -- but it requires users to have some knowledge of markup: html, markdown, bbcode, etc)

See you at the Drupalcon!
