In our daily work, when we browse websites, it is not wired to find some websites where we can not do copy and paste work. For better protecting their copyright or enhancing the PV(Page View) or other reasons, some website designer will shield copy and paste right through JavaScript programming. In the page source code, you will find functions like those: onpaste="return false" oncopy="return false;" oncut="return false. When encounter this kind of situation, is that the only way for us to do keystroke for a long time to get the content we need?
The answer is definitely “No”. In this article, I will shed light on how to solve this problem according to my experience. My way is to be processed under the help of a free online website tool named Free Online OCR Converter, which is developed by VeryPDF company.
