Hello All:
In response to Jennifer Burke's note about not being able to copy Adobe PDF
files for use with other software, I have in fact been able to do this with
little difficulty again and again. Simply go into editing mode, select the
text, execute the copy command, and the text is on the Clipboard, ready to
copy into any WINDOWS application. The only limitation I've found is that
you can't copy across PDF page breaks with one selection. YMMV, but with the
version of the reader that I have, excerpting snippets is not a problem.
Regards, John Howard Oxley
