Re: Saving Adobe .pdf file problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Depends, starting with a 6Mb file, my guess is we are dealing with images,
not text, even if an image of text. I just double checked and if the pdf
starts with image files, Adobe reader does not do OCR to change it to text.
Again, not a Word question.

File > Save as Text, (even Acrobat Reader can do it). If yours
doesn't, then you need an upgrade.

You might want to ask in a newsgroup about Adobe Acrobat. This one is
about Microsoft Word.

I don't like working with .pdf files because I know nothing about them.
I
have been sent a .pdf file that is 6 mb in size. I am trying to save it
as
a text file using the Adobe Reader 7 command series of File, Save as
Text. When I go to the saved file there is no text in it.

I checked the file properties and can find no evidence that the file
is
"locked' or in any other way set to prevent copying. I need some
suggestions on how to save the darn thing as a text file.

Thanks
