Barry,
If the protections are set so that you can neither select text nor print,
you are pretty much out of luck. If the problem is that the pdf file was
created from a scanned document you may be able to print to a fax file (if
you have a fax modem card and appropriate software. Many fax programs have
OCR (Optical Character Recognition)capability. You can print to a stored fax
file, and then open it as if it were a received fax, using the OCR input
option. Some OCR programs are better than others at recovering text
correctly. It's worth a try if you or a co-worker already have the software.
Just a thought.

But a few times I could do it. I don't know why. Do you have the same
experience?
