Add Copy as PDF Shortcut in Mathematica

Posted on 24 Aug 2009

To add a shortcut for the Menu Item Copy as PDF you have to do the following (with a Mac) go to

/Applications/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/Macintosh
and edit the file
MenuSetup.tr
changing the line
MenuItem["PDF", FrontEnd`CopySpecial["PDF"]],
to
MenuItem["PDF", FrontEnd`CopySpecial["PDF"], MenuKey["C", Modifiers->{"Command", "Option"}]],
In this way Command + Option + C will copy the object as a PDF in the clipboard.
