Looks like Duke fixed you up.
But just to follow up on what I was
saying:
on my browswer I've got this set of icons on the
toolbar:
The hand is the one the mouse defaults to and is used for
moving the doc around. To the right is the Select icon and if you clic
that one it turns the mouse into a text cursor (bar) that you can use the
select the text by clicking the left mouse and holding it down and draging
it.
An even quicker way is to leave the toolbar be and just
click Ctrl-A and it will select all of the text on all of the pages. Then you
just copy it using ctrl-c and paste it into whatever you'll be using to clean
it up.

Here ya go

I didn't find the key to change the mouse
to text but I did use File/Save as Text...
Same thing?
If so , I still gotta go through getting
rid of extra stuff like company names, headers, disclaimers, page
numbers. This I've done in past by importing txt file to excel
and manually cleaning up. Then since AB won't recogize an excel type
file, right ? , I cut and past the tickers back to text
file.
Now I can import.
Probably making the tuffer'n it
is.

The key is to change the mouse to the
text select tool then you can use that to copy/paste out of the
pdf.

I'm trying to copy the various Russell
files, in PDF format, into AB. I've forgotten how I did it
last year. I believe it needs to be changed to TXT file to
import into AB. Can someone outline the steps. PDF
to Txt to Excel . Clean up tickers in Excel
back to Txt then import to AB?
I'm probably complicating this but my
old brains cells seem a bit fuzzed up!
Thanks
Dave
