Copying from a PDF

[Ricochet]

A thing I am not able to do... I have some PDF-files with adventures, but I can't edit them, and I can't paste the text in Word or similar programs...

How do I do it? The best would be if there was some way to edit the PDF itself, so if anyone can help... :=)

You need to buy the full version of Adobe Acrobat. There may be other programs that allows you to edit pdf's, but it's the only one I know of.

get Ghostscript. It can do what you want. I'll see if I can find a link for you and I'll post it if I can, otherwise it should be easy to find.

But still the full acrobat is well worth if you can get your hands on a copy

Course even with the Full version of Acrobat if the PDF if the files have the security feature enabled then you wont be able to edit them at all...even in Acrobat.

Unless you get a crack to crack the security feature.

1. Moved to Meta, where computer-related questions are asked

2. We don't condone piracy or theft... but you already knew that.

Even Acrobat Reader still allows you select text and copy the text though (if the pdf allows it though)......

Thanks guys, good tips, I tried downloading the Jaws evaluation programs.. I'll see if it works, but I would REALLY like to be able to edit anything, so if someone knows where to find the thing for the security thing please email me or something

Sorry Piratecat, it's really bugging me out :-(

Check if there's any type of export or conversion ability - that may help. Also, the ability to select text is controlled by the security feature, which I think is under "File". could be wrong, though.
