Loren does this happen on all PDF's or just some?  I mean are you sure it is 
acrobat reader messing up or is that actually the way it is in the PDF?  If 
you have one, you can send it to me at
debbie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and I will see how it reads for me.
If you can't save it to text from the menu, it might be copy protected. 
There are some pdf 2 txt converters, but I don't know of a free one.  One 
thing you might try is to OCR it.  I know that open book will save pdf files 
to text.
No, you can't copy and paste from a pdf to word.

I have three questions.

When I read a pdf file, some words are reading together.  No spaces between
the words.  How do I correct this?

How can I make a pdf file into text when the menu save to text is disabled?

Can you copy and paste a pdf into a word doc?

Loren
