Nobody says there is no word marked with a double-click, Jimmy. Just read carefully.

Hi Jimmy,
ok, understand
why does dragdrop does not work with EDGE PDF Viewer like in old IE ?To mark text in the Microsoft Edge PDF Viewer and drag it to Wordpad, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the PDF file in Microsoft Edge¹.
2. Use your cursor to select the text you want to copy¹.
3. Right-click on the selected text and choose "Copy" from the context menu¹.
4. Open Wordpad.
5. Right-click on the area where you want to paste the text and select "Paste" from the context menu.
Please note that this will only copy the text. If the PDF contains images or other non-text elements, those will not be included. Also, the formatting might not be preserved when pasting into Wordpad. If you need to preserve the formatting or include non-text elements, you might need to use a more advanced PDF editing tool or word processor.
The drag and drop functionality you're referring to is a feature of the OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) protocol that was supported in Internet Explorer. This feature allowed users to drag and drop objects between compliant applications¹.
However, Microsoft Edge, including its PDF Viewer, is built on a different technology (Chromium) and does not support the same OLE drag and drop functionality as Internet Explorer¹. In Microsoft Edge's PDF viewer, you can select and copy text, but the drag and drop feature is not available¹⁴.
This difference is due to the evolution of web technologies and security practices. The OLE protocol, while useful, has been phased out in favor of more secure and efficient technologies¹.
This is what we are talking about here, almost since the day of christ's birth (late afternoon).you mean "internal" EDGE PDF Viewer which is Part of Webview2
It looks as Edge doesn't support it?Microsoft Edge, including its PDF Viewer, is built on a different technology (Chromium) and does not support the same OLE drag and drop functionality as Internet Explorer
the EDGE / Webview2 Implementation itself does support Drag_Source but EDGE internal PDF Viewer are different
