Copy from within a pdf?

How can I "copy out" a couple pages from an existing pdf and save them as their own pdf (no changes)

With Adobe Reader you can copy data, but to create a new PDF with the copied data you need Acrobat or http://createpdf.acrobat.com/

How do I link to an anchor point within a web page from within a PDF

Hello,
Can someone tell me how to link to an anchor point on a webpage from within a PDF?
I created a page in Word and when i add my url with the # to reference the anchor eg. www.google.com/web#test1 and test the link it all works fine. I then create a PDF of this same page however the PDF seems to strip out the URL and looks to reference a file #test1.
Any suggestions, ideas?
Thanks

Is it possible to link to specific files on a server from within a pdf?

Hi all,
Is it possible to create hyperlinks to a specific file on a Windows server from within a pdf?
Let me explain further, I am working on a Mac trying to create hyperlinks from within InDesign to specific files on a Windows server. I am exporting the file to pdf, along with the hyperlinks, which look correct when I click on them from within Acrobat.
On Windows, the links will read as \\servername\directoryname\filename so this is exactly how I enter it as the hyperlink. When I view the hyperlink information in the resulting pdf from within Acrobat, it still looks correct as \\servername\directoryname\filename but when I try to click on it from the Windows side OR the Mac side, the link doesn't work and gets changed....the slashes revert to the opposite direction and the whole link gets messed up. I am trying to figure out if the cause is InDesign, Acrobat or whether this can even be done? Of corse, I never have issues with normal URLS.
What we are trying to do is set up an internal catalogue for the company of all our materials. (Everyone works on Windows)
Should I try to create the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat... do you think that will make any difference?
Thanks in advance for your help:)
Very much appreciated!
Christine

Thank you for your help...very much appreciated!
Basically, what we needed were for the links to be static and not relative, and they were mainly for Windows users. What finally worked was creating the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat. We plan to email the final pdf to several employees around the word (we are an international company) with all the links intact. Once they were logged into our network (vpn'd in) the links would still be valid no matter where the document was located. The trick is to change the start of the link to a specific IP address (the server address) when you are setting it up in Acrobat. I hope this makes sense and is helpful for everyone else out there:)
(P.S. This works for Windows users only though and cannot be done via the Mac version of Acrobat. I can set things up within the Mac version of Acrobat so that the links will work as long as the document resides in the same location on the server... the advantage to doing it THIS way is that it will work for BOTH Mac and Windows users.)
Thanks again,
Christine

How do i extract pages from within a pdf document?

how do i extract pages from within a pdf document?

Hi adobespurs,
To extract pages from a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. Please see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

How can I edit, i.e. change wording, in a document copied from an emailed pdf

Hi
Actually, I need to alter the wording of a 14 page document sent to me by email as a pdf file. I figured that I should copy the document and paste it into a blank Page template (I remember doing similar in Word & was able to access document immediately) and begin to change wording etc. Sadly, I can do absolutely nothing to the document & the curser remains an arrow and not a texting tool. I've searched around for answers but nothing helps.
Any help gratefully received
Thanks
Alan

Word can open and convert .pdfs which will look different in Word but they are largely uneditable.
Adobe Acrobat Pro can do some in place editting.
Preview .app lets you open .pdfs and Copy, Paste text from them.

Safari (Snow Leopard) will not link to website (pdf) files from within other pdf files

Meeting agendas (in pdf format) have 'web links' to other pdf files, but Safari says not enough info in the webaddress. But it works O.K. in Windows Explorer.

Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

Cannot open another PDF from within a PDF RDR 9.1

Hi, all. When I or one of our users tries to open a PDF from a "Table of Contents" PDF , i.e.
Table of Contents for Job CD30A9
Guide
42ACC845.pdf
42ACC84D.pdf
42ACC84E.pdf
42ACC84C.pdf
The guide opens but not the other documents. The other documents open fine if clicked on individually. They are password protected (all but guide.pdf).
This is what I get with Process Monitor:
1:52:45.5500328 PM AcroRd32.exe 2372 RegOpenKey HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Installer SUCCESS Desired Access: Read

Any ideas?

Can you insert the PDF file in the Word document in another format to make it clickable in the newly converted PDF?

Trying to run an .exe from within pdf

I am trying to run an executable file from within a pdf. I get the error "This file is set to be launched by this pdf file. This is currently disallowed by your administrator." Error box is labeled "acrobat.exe"
Using: Adobe Acrobat 9 pro
Windows 7
This has worked with previous versions of Acrobat, is it still possible to do?

This is disallowed for security reasons.

Bug? - Spaces missing when copying from Adobe Reader

I have found that when attempting to copy text from some documents (in Adobe Reader)on IOS, to paste into a writer program, that all the spaces are missing.
There is not aproblem with the same document / Adobe reader on my Windows PC.
There was also not a problem copying from the same document using another reader (ios FileBrowser native reader), then pasting.
I quick Google found that I was not alone...
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/plaintext/2Bs49s1K9_o/KTwelaiqEIsJ
This link lays out the issue, not common to all IOS PDF readers, with a solution: use another reader.
Is there a solution for this in Adobe Reader, or how can it be reported to Adobe?

There are no spaces there. That is not how pdf files are constructed. HOWEVER, on PCs and Macs, the applications are smart enough to figure that spaces should be inserted into the text being copied. The iOS app is not smart enough to figure out on certain pdfs that it should insert spaces on copying from those problemsome pdfs. Adobe does have a feature request/bug reporting form where you can report the problem:

Preventing Copy & Paste from Within A Browser

I created a pdf from a WORD document. I then opened the PDF and went to ADVANCED>>SECURITY. I applied sucurity principles that would not allow copy and paste as well as printing and I locked it with a password (the document can be opened without a password).
If I try to copy and paste text with the PDF opened in Windows on my desktop, I cannot copy and paste text. However when viewing the same document within a browser (Firefox), I am easily able to copy and paste text and print. Is there a way to prevent copy and printing from within a browser?
Thanks!

PDF viewers that are compliant to the standard will not allow this. The problem is some PDF viewers are less than compliant, such as some that are built-in to browsers. It looks like Firefox's does not respect security settings.

Openening pdf in iBooks from within Safari

After installing IOS5, I am not able anymore to open a pdf-file, which I opened in the Safari webbrowser,
in IBooks.
In IOS4 I used this a lot, but this does not seem to work anymore!
Anybody having the same trouble?
And even better: anybody having a solution to this?

I have found and tested 2 workarounds for this problem:
1)
Send the pdf as an attachment to an email to yourself.
From within the email app on the iPad2 you can then point to this pdf in the received email,
and open it within iBooks ! (as should have also possible from within Safari ... )
2)
Another, even better workaround:
- install Opera Mini webbrowser on the iPad
- copy URL of the pdf to URL-field of Opera Mini webbrowser
(for example: arxiv.org/pdf/1110.2260v1)
and click "GO"
- this loads the requested pdf IN THE SAFARI WEBBROWSER (!!),
but with a different URL,
in this example with the URL
http://global-4-lvs-turing.opera-mini.net/hz47-01/24015/0/-1/arxiv.org/1110.pdf
- Now you open the pdf in iBooks from within Safari as usual !!
Hope this helps, although I would like a better solution,
such that the original functionality of openening documents in iBooks from within Safari is restored !
Jan Bours
- installeer Opera Mini (webbrowser)
- kopieer de URL van de pdf in URL veld van Opera Mini en laad de pdf
(bv arxiv.org/pdf/1110.2260v1)
- toets op "Go", dan wordt de pdf geladen IN DE SAFARI BROWSER !!!!!
Maar dan wel met een andere URL, in dit voorbeeld met URL
http://global-4-lvs-turing.opera-mini.net/hz47-01/24015/0/-1/arxiv.org/1110.pdf
- aantikken van het scherm geeft rechtboven in scherm zoals altijd
de mogelijkheden "Open in iBooks", of "Open Met ...",
die allebei inderdaad de pdf in iBooks kunnen openen !!!!!

Copy and/or Cut and Paste no longer works from within Firefox yet I can Paste to Notepad and yet again copy the same text from within Notepad or any app will not Paste back into Firefox, thanks

I 'Copy & Paste' from within Firefox quite often but for some reason the function has stopped working when using some sites, even the menu item 'Paste' is greyed out, yet I can open Notepad and 'Paste'. I tried pasting into 'Notepad' then copying from Notepad and pasting back into Firefox, which I've found in the past sometimes works but today even that does not work. I accept it may not actually be a Firefox problem but I have noticed since upgrading to the latest version, I am having several problems with crashing and hanging exceedingly long execution of the browser.

Print a pdf from within Safari.

SORRY, will repost in safari for Mac
Hi
If I print pdf files from within Safari 4, the text does not print at all, only lines, tables and boxes.
If i save the same pdf file to the hard drive and open it with Adobe Reader, it prints perfectly. Is there anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
I am using SL, and a Lexmark c522 if it helps.
Thanks
Dave

Just doublechecking. Are other PDFs currently printing properly for you, George? (Say, if you're printing them directly from your Reader as opposed to printing them through Safari's Adobe PDF plugin?)

Cannot open pdf docs from within Eudora. Registry problem?

My email client is Eudora, which has worked well for many years, but it recently lost the ability to open pdf email attachments in Adobe Reader from within it.
I have tried the standard file association solution and that has not helped.
I am posting to see if anyone thinks my problem is caused by registry settings, and if so, if you can give me a lead on which settings to change and what to change them to. Here are details.
I am currently using Eudora 5.2. Adobe Reader 9.4 is my default pdf viewing software and OS is Vista Home Premium SP2.
I was recently given a nuance product, pdf converter pro 7, which set itself as my default pdf viewer.
I have succeeded in restoring Adobe Reader as my default pdf viewer (e.g., in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer), but now, when I try to click on a pdf attachment in Eudora, the file doesn't open and the following pops up in an error box:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel."
I have gone to the associations control panel and set Adobe Reader as my default program for opening pdf files. However that has had no effect on the problem in Eudora.
The attachments to emails in Eudora have the little Adobe pdf icon next to the file name and have a .pdf extension, but all I get when I click on them is the error message. If I right-click on the attachment's file name, I get a context menu, but if I click on "open with..." and then select to always open with Adobe Reader, the pdf attachment does not open and nothing changes.
If I try to use the context menu to do a "save as," to save the attached pdf somewhere on my hard drive, everything looks fine, except the pdf is not saved to the other folder.
Other files attached to my emails open fine from Eudora, as always (e.g., Word documents), just as pdf documents used to do for many years.
I can go to Eudora's attachments folder in Windows Explorer and open the attached pdfs from there, and they open in Adobe Reader and work fine. However, that takes time to hunt them down in the hundreds of attachment files, which I would rather avoid.
I tried reinstalling Eudora. The problem persists.
I assume nuance's pdf converter pro 7 hijacked an Adobe Reader registry setting, or maybe a Eudora registry setting, but I have not been able to find it and would not know what to do if I did.
Any suggestions for a fix will be appreciated.

No, I can't, sorry.
