Reason: I work as an indexer, which involves selecting text (words/phrases) in PDFs and dragging/copying them into my bespoke indexing software. The ability to drag the selected text increases the speed of the operation, which becomes significant when thousands of operations per indexing project are required.
Examples of text to be dragged/dropped are: long chemical names, and long medical words/phrases.
My indexing software is Sky Index Professional: http://www.sky-software.com , and my website is: http://www.nigeldauvergne.co.uk .
