Hi George,

I'll ask, but do you mean the free version of Adobe 8? There're a free version 
of Adobe 8 and a paid for one, is that right? Sorry I'm not keeping up with the 
Adobe news.

Cheers,
Amro

  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
