Why can't I copy text from some PDFs?
A PDF made by scanning paper is a set of pictures, not text, so there is nothing to copy. PDFs exported from Word, Google Docs or a website contain real text, and Glenzo lets you copy it. For password-protected PDFs, enter the password and copy as usual.
Good to know
Glenzo is a viewer: it opens and reads documents, and you edit them in an office app. All documents are gathered in the Documents category, so you can find them without digging through folders. Documents inside a ZIP? Extract them first.
