Remarks

If the ClipboardCopy method is invoked without parameters after an end user draws a selection rectangle, the image data bounded by the selection rectangle is copied to the Clipboard.

If the ClipboardCopy method is invoked without parameters and without an end user drawing a selection rectangle, the ClipboardCopy method generates an error.

To copy annotations to the Clipboard, the end user selects the desired annotation marks using the Select Annotations tool.

To copy image data to the Clipboard, the end user selects the desired area using the image selection rectangle, which is the default when no annotation tool is selected.

It is not possible to copy both image and annotation data to the Clipboard simultaneously.
