Couldn't find any instructions, either.
Extract:
- select multiple text elements
- in the extension dialog, select how they are ordered on the page (top
to bottom, right to left, etc.)
- apply extension
- get a pop-up with all text blocks summed up into one copy-able text
Probably most useful for imported pdfs with broken-up texts.
Merge:
- select multiple text elements
- select how they are ordered in the document
- apply extension
- get a new text element that optionally preserves the old elements' style
Found two bugs:
- extract: cannot deal with non-ASCII (e.g. ö, ä, ü, é)
- merge: font becomes huge when taken from a flowed text
