Are they using Adobe 8?  Provided the PDF is not scanned
text, I find I can usually highlight the text I want, and
copy and paste as normal.

Subject: [access-uk] Copying chunks of a PDF document?


Hi all,
 
Someone is trying to copy parts of articles that are in PDF
formats for me to place in a word document but without
success. Some of them might be protected and others could be
scanned articles. So, I'm looking for a program/programs
that enable us from copying chunks of protected and scanned
PDF documents. I want something reliable so I don't mind
paying. Would Adobe reader do the job? And there was a talk
recently on the list about a newly released OCR program for
PDF scanned documents... I'm afraid I've lost those emails;
would someone post that info again please?
 
With many thanks for any help I may get.
 
Amro
