I tried Evince from extras-devel to see if I could copy text from it. Unfortunately, you can't. However, it has some niceties that may make it a keeper.

Two features that should have been implemented a long time ago are bookmarking and portrait mode.....then it would be enjoyable to use.

Add this:

- Fit to screen.
- Swipe gesture for Zoom/Unzoom.

And I'm in.

The OS2008 version could do this, so the code is probably there to allow it - qwerty just didn't make any additional improvements after the first release.

Interesting. So this is an orphan project. It would be great if someone adopted it and added the text copy feature.
