Tag Tool
The Tag Tool in PDFix is designed for validating and fixing already tagged documents. You can activate the Tag Tool from the main ribbon, which will also open the Tag Tool Ribbon, providing quick access to your favorite views and operations for efficient document tagging and remediation.
Default Tool
The Default Tool enables you to effortlessly select text or any rectangular area within your PDF. Use it to highlight, copy, or extract content, including text and graphics, which can then be pasted into other applications for further use. This tool simplifies content selection and enhances your editing workflow.
Copy Text
Easily copy text from your PDFs using the Default Tool in PDFix Desktop. Here’s how:
- Select the Default Tool and move over the text – the cursor will change to an I-beam. Click and drag to highlight the text you want to copy.
- Right-click and choose Copy or press CTRL+C to copy the text to your clipboard.
- Paste the copied text into any other application for further use.
To clear your selection, simply click on a blank area of the PDF. This intuitive process makes extracting and reusing text quick and seamless, enhancing your productivity with PDFix Desktop.

Copy Tables with Formatting
For both text and area selections, you can use the Copy with Formatting option to copy page content as responsive HTML. This feature allows you to paste the selection into applications like Microsoft Excel or Google Docs while preserving structures such as tables, lists, and text formatting.
