Yeah Glass, foggy Glass at that. But it acts a bit like a photograph, you know moment in time, all the elements captured in 2D. if you really needed to you may be able to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition on it). In my test with cutePDF it includes a reference to the weblink which is a good way to return to the source if necessary.
Perhaps when I get adobe acrobat it will get better. One trick I am investigating is using hTML In a tiddler that puts a Live website in a tiddler,. but looking at doing it for a file - in this case the PDF. eg; <html><div align="center"><iframe src="file:///S:/Wiki/PDFResources/Mozilla Support.pdf" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="600"></iframe></div></html> This points to a local file address for the PDF and opens the PDF inside the tiddler with all the acrobat reader plugin tools. And using Firefox save as complete webpage to a subfolder Using QuickEdit to insert a link (Just to get the file path and creating a tiddler as such; [[TwitterSupportPage|file:///S:/Wiki/WebPageResource/15356.htm]] <html><div align="center"><iframe src="file:///S:/Wiki/WebPageResource/15356.htm" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="600"></iframe></div></html> Also lets you browse the saved web page in a tiddler, but this time the text fields, images etc... can be seperatly selected. A friend just demonstrated screenHunter with alows rectangular pixel selection from your screen and direct write to file, not unlike pasteOff but with the cut or crop features you like. I have also used star office to Export to PDF then link it in a a live website (PDF File Only), this allows you to put ritch PDF files into (Not really just looks it) Tiddly wiki. In this case the text can also be searched and cut and pasted.
