Save PDF Document as a Text File.

For PDF documents that are not copy protected, it is quick and easy to save the document as a text file (TXT).
To do so, open the command menu with S3 and select menu item File > Save as text file. Similar to the save
function in the word processor app, a dialog opens where you can enter the file name and specify the save
location.
Reminder: copy protected PDF files cannot be edited or saved as a text file.

5.10 Highlight and Copy Text in a PDF File.

As an alternative to saving an entire PDF file as a text file, VarioUltra lets you highlight and select a section of
text to copy to the clipboard. The copied text can then be pasted into another document.
While you can go through command menu options for highlighting and copying, the quicker approach is to use
shortcut commands.
To mark the beginning and end points of a block of text, first position your cursor at the desired start
position and enter shortcut command B9+B2B3B5 to confirm.
Next, position your cursor at the desired end point and again enter shortcut command B9+B2B3B5 to
confirm.
Copy the text block to the clipboard with shortcut command c+B8B9.
Insert your copied text into another document with shortcut command v+B8B9.
Reminder: it is not possible to edit or copy text from copy protected PDF files.

5.11 Find.

With the find feature it is possible to search for characters, words, or parts of text within an opened document.
Once found, it is possible to set the reading position to the location.
Here are the instructions for the Find feature:
1. Open the command menu with S3 and select menu item Find > Find new.
2. A text box appears where you can enter your search string. If case sensitivity is necessary, check the
option Match Capitals.
3. Select the Search Now option to start. VarioUltra will search from the current reading position to the
end of the document.
4. If the search string is not found, a corresponding message will be displayed. Confirm with OK.
5. If the search string is found, a corresponding message will be displayed. Confirm with OK to change
the reading position to this search position.
6. To find the next occurrence, use shortcut: 3+B8B9.

5.12 Exit PDF Document Viewer.

To exit the PDF Document Viewer, select command menu item File > Exit PDF Viewer. Another way to exit to
the Main Menu is to simply press and hold system key S3.

Chapter 6: Spreadsheet Viewer.

The Spreadsheet Viewer is an application for opening and reading Excel spreadsheets, (XLS or XLSX format).
Navigation commands are covered later in this section. They are also listed under menu Navigation, in the
command menu (S3).
While it is not possible to edit or insert content into cells, you can save documents as a text file (TXT), or
highlight and copy content onto the clipboard for subsequent pasting in a document in the Word Processor.
This is explained in more detail in section 6.5. When opening an Excel file that is password protected, a
message dialog will appear that prompts you to enter the password.
