Sorry for the false alarm! Someone pointed out to me that I interpreted the request incorrectly. While you can now select objects both in the artboard and on the pasteboard, you cannot yet select objects on the pasteboard and complete artboards themselves.

Hi Mihnea, I voted for this idea because it would be very helpful for designers who work in tandem with a developer. I think the initial problem was that the PDFs exported text as vector outlines which made it useless (i.e. unable to copy-paste). However in the latest version I noticed that it is selectable text now. Half of the problem is already solved.
It would still be easier for developers to copy-paste text out of a plaintext file (.txt) instead of a PDF, however, and I think this is the more accepted way to do web development work. Ideally XD would have a menu option like "export selected text" or "export all text" which would dump all the text in the entire .xd file into a .txt file.

I desperately need this feature in the project I'm working on! I've hit the edge of the pasteboard on a large project and need to move eeeeeverythiiiingg back to center. I'm going to try the workaround Bart suggested but would love a way to make this easier.
