Usually not true. PDF pages are essentially images, not free, editable text. You
would need the full version of acrobat, not the free reader to do anything with
the text in the PDF to which I posted the link.
You might be surprised.

Do a "right click" on the document and "select all". Paste to a
notepad file, and select out what you want:

It wasn't working on my home computer. I (incorrectly) assumed that the pages
were simply image scans of pages, which are really "pictures" and not editable.
That is sometimes the case.
I was using version 5 of Acrobat Reader. I upgraded to version 8 and those pages
are now editable.

No, they are not. You can copy and paste, but you cannot edit a *.PDF
document with Adobe Reader.
Being able to highlight and copy text to be pasted into another
document IS editing, Hairless.

That's *not* editing a *.PDF document with Reader, and that's what was
implicit in your statement.

No, that's what you read into it, grasshopper.

Harry,
Go back and read his response, he said you can edit the pages, and told
how to do it. He did not say anything about editing a pdf document.
You really do need to improve your reading comprehension.
