[pchelpers] Re: pdf file to word processor??

Re-Na,

I just played with a pdf document I have on my puter and found that if you
use the text select button on the Acrobat Reader, I have Version 5.0, and
drag the cursor over the text you want to select, it will highlight this
text. Next right click on the highlighted text and paste into another
application. It was not as hard as I thought. Notice by the example it does
lose some of its format as regards text alignment etc, but very readable. I
hope this helps.

Question:

I have a pdf file of some medical information I need to get to someone with
web tv.
Is there a way to put a pdf file to Microsoft Word or any of the following
3.  I have wordpad, Word, and notepad.
Once it is in a wordprocessor then I can copy it and send it to her in
email.

Is this possible?
