I'm using Acrobat Reader 5.0. A customer send me a PDF-document, created by the HP 9100C Digital Sender. The document contains text in a two column format. I want to copy this text in MS Word in order to process it. I don't succeed in selecting (part of) the text using the Text Select Tool-button or the Collumn Select Tool-button. It looks to me as if the whole text in the PDF is in a graphical format. The only way to select anyting is using the Graphics Select Tool, but using this does not enable me to process the text in Word. Can anybody help me out? Thanks Ed LJ Geerlings
