PDF files

[englishrose4719]

I have several PDF files than I need to split, i.e. some of the docs n the
file need to be removed and put into a different one. Ive tried to do a copy
and paste into the Clipbook but nothing seems to happen - the clipbook is
blank and I dont seem to have any way to paste. Can anybody help please? ps
Im very blonde when it comes to stuff like this so please keep it simple!
thanks lots

You need to use something like Adobe Acrobat to do tasks like that. Either
that or do the work in the original file format and remake the .pdf files.

Thanks JoAnn, but I am using version 8.1 of Adobe Acrobat already. I cant
work on the original files because I dont have access to them - the documents
are all scanned by a remote location and emailed across to me to work with.
As I said earlier, when I copy the text there is no 'paste' function anywhere.

Since the problem you are having is using Adobe products you should
refer to Adobe help and their forums, as this group is for MS Office
applications. But since you are here, simply extract pages to recreate
the desired sections.

If you would like to contact me privately later today (I don't have access
to Acrobat at this moment) I will help you with this task. I've done exactly
what you are asking about and I have Acrobat Pro v8. Contact me after 3:30
pm EST.

(As Bob said, there is an active Acrobat newsgroup but I think sometimes
it's "too" active. So many posts to wade thru - but the folks over there can
be quite helpful.)

When the documents were scanned into Acrobat they are images. Either one
image or multiple images.

Some things to try.

First save the file to a different name or a different folder so what you do
does not destroy the original file.

If the documents are text documents, in Acrobat 8.1 try Document Menu, OCR
Text Recognition to use Acrobat Optical Character Reader to convert to text
from images. OCR process frequently requires some editing to correct
conversion errors.

In Acrobat File Menu, try Export to either a Word Document or image file
such as TIFF. If you choose a Word Document, may be able to separate with
Word. If you choose a image file, you may be able to separate with a good
image editor or with Microsoft Office Tools, Microsoft Document Imaging 2003
or 2007. Note: when you have a file with multiple images, some image
editors can only recognize the first image.

A Adobe User Forum to try:

Good Luck.
