How to copy, select and search text in ePub books using SumatraPDFġ. There is a very simple way to fix this, and it only takes a few seconds. Now, if you find yourself with an ePub and want to search for text, you may notice that the toolbar at the top (which has the find tool) won't be visible, so you can't do that. But the problem was that the ePub's text could not be selected, hence there was no way to copy content from it. This was a textbook which he was trying to take notes from. Recently, a friend of mine asked me to help with an ePub. Tip: check out our EPUB reader overview here.īut with the new Edge-Chromium browser dropping support for ePubs and the fact that it will replace the other Edge, I stopped using it as a document viewer and rely solely on the light-weight reader. In your case, as I understand it, the hand-off to adobe acrobat works fine, but the hand-off to sumatra doesn’t.I'll admit to using Microsoft Edge (Chakracore) occasionally to quickly view a document or two, but the solution is not as fast and usually not my top choice when it comes to that. So, saying, do this and you’ll be able to read the file, is usually good enough. Usually, my clients are just interested in getting a solution and they often should file the attachment anyway, so saving to where is should be stored (client’s folder for example), is what they often do anyway. Which does eMclient use? I don’t know, but saving the file to downloads is more reliable, but leaves the file in your downloads folder.
The other is that the program (browser or email program), tries to use a temporary file download or even ram before calling the other program and handing off to it. This is a somewhat transparent save and open option and is very reliable.
In one, the program automatically saves the file, usually to the downloads folder and then calls a program to opens it. There are 2 ways I know of that “open directly” can work. It allows you to determine if the problem is with sumatra or sumatra through your mail client.The other 10% are bad files that can’t be opened. It fixes 90% of the kinds of problems you have.What does “open directly” mean? Do you know? Simple fact, saving and then opening does 2 things. Why save the file and open the saved file ? Why not open directly with Sumatrapdf?
