Title:
Feature Request: Tool: Save screenshot of area to clipboard
Status in Evince document viewer:
Invalid
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: evince
I'm curious whether it's possible to add a feature to evince which
allows the user the following:
1. select the screenshot tool
2. select a specific area of the document with your mouse (a rectangle: press
to start selection and release mouse button when finished)
3. the selected area will be saved to the clipboard as an image which can be
pasted e.g. in Openoffice.org Writer or comparable office software
I'm inquiring about this feature because I know it from Acrobat Reader
and it's the last feature that's keeping me from uninstalling Acrobat.
I know a lot of people at university who use this tool on a regular
basis when creating summaries of lectures. It's a very pleasant way to
copy & paste important parts of PDF documents, mainly diagrams and
illustrations and imo this won't be too much of a hassle to implement.
I attached a screenshot of the desired functionality as observed while
using Acrobat Reader. I hope this clears it up a bit.
