Adobe PDF file crashes my Publisher 2003 file when I try to save i

[AustinPAWS]

I am a volunteer editor of a national newsletter. I receive input from
people around the country via email. Twice, I have received ads or pictures
that were laid out by the originators and sent to me as a PDF file. I have
Adobe Reader on my system, but NOT Adobe Acrobat. When I try to copy and
paste the PDF file into a page within my Publisher 2003 newsletter, the file
crashes--I get the "send error report to Microsoft" bit, document closes and
when I re-open--it reopens as a recovery file and the PDF file that crashed
it is gone. To get around it, I had to have the originators convert their
files to jpg or TIF files and re-send (my system wouldn't let me convert them
on my end--possibly because I don't have the full Adobe Acrobat software????)
Anyhow, has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix? I'm surprised
this happens, because I'm not trying to edit the PDF file--I know that I
can't do that--I'm just trying to paste it in. Thanks. S

Do you have the Reader 7.0.7? There was a recent update.
Work with images in Adobe Reader

There is usually a "details" button on the error message, what does it say?
Have you tried a print screen and cropping in an editing application.

It worked! Mary--I thought that I did have 7.07 because I just downloaded
Adobe Reader three days ago; when I went back to their website and did the
download just now, it asked me if I wanted to REPAIR or UNINSTALL 7.07, so I
selected Repair. After that, I copied the photo that crashed "me" before, and
this time it copied in and saved--no problem. So, thank you! Sue
