Selecting the "Hand Tools" changes the screen cursor to a "Hand" icon which enables the user to use the left mouse button to drag the display in any direction. This action is very similar to sliding a piece of paper around on a table or desktop.

Selecting the "Snapshot Tool" will change the screen cursor to the "Camera" icon which enables the user to copy the current document display to the virtual clipboard for pasting a bitmap into the same or another application.
 
  • Left mouse click will select and copy the entire page thereby activating the selection area with control grips.
 
  • Each time the selection area is resized or moved a new display copy is captured to the virtual clipboard.
 
 
The default bitmap resolution is 72 DPI. To modify the resolution for "Snapshot Images" go to:
 
EDIT > PREFERENCES > SNAPSHOT TOOL

Selecting the "Select Tool" will change the screen cursor from an arrow to a vertical text cursor when it is hovered over text that is selectable. Using the left mouse button, you can select text to copy to the virtual clipboard or use one of the Comment & Markup commands to add a highlight or underline markup.
 
Please note that not all text rendered to PDF is selectable and this will be indicated by the cursor not changing from an arrow when hovering over the text. If a PDF was created with "Text as Graphics" enabled, then the text with the PDF file is not selectable for copying or highlighting.
