| 1145325 | 2010-10-16 02:47:00 | Any one got a recommendation for PDF editing just need something simple to copy and paste some text from a PDF otherwise I have to practice my 2 finger typing.

| 1145328 | 2010-10-16 03:11:00 | I do a lot of text copying from PDFs and I find that some seem to be locked, or as I rather suspect, the text is an image file converted to PDF. This is something which I do to myself for emailed invoices or any other documents I'd prefer not have edited or text extracted from. I get around most of that myself by printing the document then scanning back to text by OCR, but at least by that method it becomes reasonably clear that the end result is a copy. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1145330 | 2010-10-16 03:15:00 | I think you are correct Billy T in so far as some PDFs are simply images and also can be locked with passwords or other security. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1145331 | 2010-10-16 03:16:00 | Open Office 3.0 may do the job How? It can't frig about with docs I have made in Word and protected. |

| 1145334 | 2010-10-16 03:42:00 | If the Original text is something on a word document, then use Foxitreader. It has a typewriter function to add text, it also can copy/paste into a PDF and you can save the altered PDF. Open Foxit Reader. View>Toolbars> Typewriter Tools , you'll then get a new tool bar, mines top right Follow the rough arrow (www.imagef1.net.nz) To paste some text, click the icon that looks like a pencil, go to the text file you have, then select/copy the text, go to the PDF, click where you want the text / Paste Example your question (www.imagef1.net.nz) to a FreeNas PDF. Only problem is if its more than a Line you may have to do one line at a time. |
