Having the document in a "fixed" format is one of the central ideas of PDF.This means either you don't have the font on your system, or the PDF was saved with a subset of the actual font used, which means (technically) that you still don't have it on your system (as what that does is create a "virtual font" with a phony "virtual name").In any case, trying to modify a PDF is at best a pain in the kiester, and it's frequently flatly impossible.If the security features are turned off (and it sounds like they might be, since you can copy and paste), you should be able to just Save As... from Acrobat and choose HTML, RTF, plain text TXT, or Word DOC. You'll have to experiment and figure out which format requires the least work on your part after the fact.There are a number of programs for sale that claim to be able to figure out the PDF format and turn it back into a proper word processing document, but I've never used these and can't comment on their effectiveness. For example:<a href="http://www.bcltechnologies.com/document/products/allpdf/" target="_blank">http://www.bcltechnologies.com/document/products/allpdf/</a>You're not doing anything wrong, if that's what you're asking. The PDF format introduces a lot of stuff designed to make the PDF look right, which has nothing to do with whether it'll transfer to a word processor, and which often creates exactly the kind of problems you're seeing when you try. The only thing I can suggest is to Paste Special... in Word, choose "Unformatted Text," and see what that does.If it's for your home campaign, then I don't see a problem.</blockquote>
