How to copy and paste a table and pictures from pdf files to word using MacBook pro 10.5.8

Hi Guys,
I want to copy tables out of a PDF document onto a word document. I only get the text and not the table when I copy and paste. I would also like to know how I can do the same with pictures or diagrams in PDF to word.
Regards,
Craig

You can take picture of anyhting from any document using Command + Shift + 4. Hold all three at the same time and your mouse will turn into a little plus sign where you can then drag across anything you'd like to take picture of it. The picture will be placed on your desktop.
See if that works for you.

  • How do I copy and paste a shape (or layer) from one file to another keeping all of its attributes?

    Our department currently uses MS Paint to place varied colored boxes for callouts on top of screen figures used in our documentation. As you know, MS Paint is not a robust image editing application, and we are frustrated at its limitations (especially not having a "non-destructive" edit capability). Consequently, we are evaluating a trial version of PS to see how a workflow could be developed that would allow the department to use callout boxes "stored" in a PS file that could be applied in an easy, consistent manner to our screen figures (but also keep each callout box editable) using PS.
    Consequently, in PS using the shape tool, I created a file with our colored boxes for callouts, each on its own layer. Now I am trying to determine how you copy and paste a box (or layer) from this file to a "working" file (one containing a screen figure), while keeping all of its attributes (color, line weight, being editable, etc.). I can't seem to find an option to do this. Is there? If not, is there another workflow in PS that you can recommend for this type of procedure?

    Thanks - I used the Layer > Duplicate command and it worked great!
    P.S. How do you drag and drop a layer? I tried dragging a layer to the other open image, but nothing happened. Do you have to hold down a specific key for this (I'm using Windows)?

  • Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

    Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

    It's not something I have tried before.  Have you tried it, and what's happened?
    Basically, copy/pasting tables is a bit of a problem - anywhere.  Table formats are different in different circumstances - Excel, HTML, PDF, ...
    If you copy a HTML table and paste it into an Excel sheet, the entire table will go into one single cell.
    So most likely what you are trying to achieve will not work.

    How:  MS Word to .pdf by Command P, hitting the PDF button, and then the button for "save as Adobe pdf"

    Part of the problem in helping is likely that there is no program Adobe -- that is the company name. You are in the Acrobat forum, but it sounds like you have subscribed to Export PDF or such, a different program. The subscription to Acrobat is currently $19.99 per month.

    The pics came fro your computer in the first place.  They should still be there and you should always have a backup copy.

  • How do you transfer pictures from a droid incredible to a macbook pro?

    How do you transfer pictures taken on my droid incredible to my MacBook Pro? When I plug the phone into the computer using the usb port I get a message saying--"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Any help would be apppreciated.

    Is the phone set to be used as a Mas Storage Device? Check the phone settings. If it is then the SD card should read as a FAT32 device and any computer that can read FAT32 formatted drives. which all computers I know about, will be able to read the files on it.

  • How do I transfer pictures from my Samsung Comback to my MacBook Pro??

    I connected my phone to my laptop with the cord and nothing happens. I don't know why please help! My photo memory is full and I want to put the pictures/images onto my mac & does the plug go into the 1st (closer to you) or 2nd (closer to the screen) insert and yeh... Please help! Thank you! Can you show step by step how to with my Samsung Comback? (I've tried looking it up and none of the websites work)

    Doesn't your phone have a USB mass storage setting? I believe you have to first put the phone in USB mode, once you've done that, either iPhoto or Image Capture should see your phone.

  • How can i access my playlists on new harley from a file instead of using my actual ipod

    trying to use a backup file to play music on new Harley boom box. will play songs from library but not playlists.

    Hi, you have a lot of questions! Here are some articles that should help - [[Create bookmarks to save your favorite webpages]]. And - [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]. And - [[Learn more about the design of the new Firefox]].
    To export/import bookmarks: Open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup.
    You can bring up the Main menu bar temporarily by pressing Alt, or right click in the tab bar (but not on a tab) and tick/check Menu Bar if you want it to be there all the time.
    The help button is at the bottom of the 3-bar menu (question mark).
    Hope that helps!

  • HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen.  How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

    II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen.  How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again?  Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
    In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

  • How do I fill out a form already converted from pdf to word

    how do I fill out a form i converted from pdf to a word doc?

    What kind of "form" is it?  A .pdf or .doc file?
    Generally I would save the file somewhere (desktop or document folder).  There is a save button for attachments in mail's header section.  Then open the file with an appropriate app like Adobe Reader for .pdf files or Word or Pages for .doc files.  Fill out the form and save.  Then email the form back as an attachment.
