PDF irritation

From: Jeff Needle on 26 Sep 2005 15:24 I'm a book reviewer. I received a book with a CD with the text of the book enclosed, with the files in PDF format. Great stuff, I don't have retype stuff I want to cite in the review. But Adobe won't let me copy text to the clipboard. I can highlight text, but that's it. Ctrl-c doesn't work. I'm guessing the creator of the CD set it up so that copying and pasting is not allowed. Is there a way around this? Maybe a freeware PDF reader that gets around the restriction? Thanks. -- -------------------------------------- Jeffrey Needle jeff.needle(a)gmail.com

From: battles1550 on 26 Sep 2005 17:20 I think that something else works like right mouse click on text / click menu item - copy. Try highlighting and using the menu item copy if present.

Unless the program's been changed. |
