'I opened Acrobat Reader 5.1 and a few files, including one I'd created in Chinese. Then using the text tool I highlighted some text, copied and this pasted into Word with no problem. What amazed me about this was that it included English text in Times New Roman, Chinese Pinyin Text (the Romanized version of Chinese) and Chinese characters. And although some of the formatting was lost, all of it was editable back in Word. I'd always thought that Acrobat converted the characters to an image, but obviously not.' I too always thought it was an image. I had tried opening it in Photoshop, importing it into word etc etc. As Bob also says, I could have just requested the original document, but my pal who sent it was even more computer illiterate than me... The fact that you just cut and paste makes me feel RATHER silly....... Thanks for all those who replied, you learn something every day!
