Copy Text from proof

It would be really helpful if it would be possible to copy text from the proof. For example: During our production process we have to compare a lot of article numbers. Which you normally can easy copy from a pdf and paste into the tool for checking. But Workfront does not allow to copy text so we have to type it manually everytime. It would be really helpful if it would be possible to copy from the file directly as you can do it in every PDF.

    I second this idea. The only way I have figured out how to copy text is to go to, "Add comment" and use the "Delete" or "Replace" "text select" tools which then adds the highlighted text in the comment field. 

    Why is this important? As a production artist, the need comes up to use find and replace based on how the comments were marked up in proof to apply edits in the working file. This can be done in Acrobat. It would be great to match this feature in WF Proof.

    Third this idea - this would be very useful and helpful for copyediting!
