    I have several lengthy documents in .pdf form which I would like to copy and paste into a wordperfect document. The text would be a royal pain to re-type. I cannot copy anything from the .pdf documents. Am I doing something wrong or am I trying to do something that cannot be done? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    right next to the "hand" at the top is "select" (at least it is on mine) use it to select text to copy

    I can't lie, I never thought i would click on a SluggerWV post and not be bludgoned with scantily clad women pointing their boobs or ass towards my face. This....is a dissapointment, but would be a great idea for April 1st.

    Slugger-
    You might have Acrobat Reader... which doesn't have the cursor tool. You need the full version to select / copy text.
