Convert simplified to traditional

[alanshi]

I think this applies to both legacy and v4 versions of Pleco, so this is more of a feature suggestion. From time to time I find myself needing to convert text from simplified to traditional in documents that I am reading. When reading text, I can go to the editor and select the text then convert, but this is a pain to do, especially for long text since selecting it is a pain. Would it be possible to add a feature to do this in v4?

Probably a stretch since it seems you’re using a native iOS PDF reader, but would be even more awesome if you could do this with a PDF .

thanks!

You can already do this in 4.0, just tap on the settings icon and there's a character set conversion option.

You can do it with a PDF if you put it into 'reading mode' to extract the text - doing it with a PDF natively would be theoretically possible, but dicey.

Ah, this worked for me. Thanks for the tip. Doing this natively in PDF would be awesome. I'm reading a document in a PDF where the formatting is so much nicer than in reading mode, but I can live with reading mode if that's all that's possible right now. If it is possible, please do consider this! Thx!
