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. |

Sometimes it is worthwhile having a licensed copy of a commercial product. If for nothing else, you are supporting the guy who wrote it. You can also get support when you have a problem. I got a free upgrade when yenc files showed up. I have a licensed copy of Agent, albeit a version a few years old. I don't like it now, and I didn't like it then. I am more than happy with Thunderbird for email and newsgroups. The thing I like about Agent is it is not "installed". You just run it from the EXE and it would probably run from a CD if you assigned working areas on oxide. I can load my agent directory on another machine, run it and then just delete the directory and it is gone. I keep two iinstances on this machine, one for binaries and one for text. I don't download or upload binaries. I use portable Firefox and portable Thunderbird from a USB key. My aren't you the technologist. Why is a news group's contents so important to you? Forget to take your smart pill again, d.f.? That's Mr. Dumfoch Dropout to you! I'll ask the question again. Why is a newsgroup's content so important to you that you carry around a thumb drive with a newsreader and its configuration files? The medical condition. It's an obsession. |
