Ed, Ah! That did the trick. > but then I dumped acroread for F/OSS such as okular. I used to use xpdf, but it's a version or so behind Adobe, so I switched to mupdf. That does a great job, but sometimes blocked text cannot be transferred to another application. Acroread has useful capabilities that help me when mupdf cannot. Okular is a KDE app which requires loading KDE (including the kitchen sink), and I run Xfce so I'll stick with xpdf, mupdf, and acroread.
