Copy and Paste between Acrobat Reader and Emacs


Copy and paste between Acrobat Reader and Emacs under Linux can only be done once. If you copy and paste from Acrobat and Emacs the second time you will get the same result. Moreover,
the “automatic-copy” from selecting does not happen when in Acrobat, and the “Ctrl+V” version of paste doesn’t work in Emacs.

I have tried the following (failed) solutions:

  1. Use Glipper or Klipper to control the cut and paste history
  2. Use kghostview
The solution I recommend
  1. Use xpdf
