Michael,

The method is probably simpler than than might be expected.

As long as the PDF is not locked/needing a password, just select the required text and drag it to the field in FM Pro 10 and drop.

Do NOT cut and paste!

Using the drag and drop method, the resultant font is always in the style you set up in FM no matter what the PDF font was.

I have not tried transferring graphics or pictures but I have reason to suppose they would not behave the same way.

If the PDFs are locked, you can use PDFPro key - another simple to use process. There are others to be found if you Google "unlock PDF" or sim.

Is it possible to cut from documents in pdf format and paste into FileMaker
Pro 10?

Can any-one recommend software that is simple to master for this?

I have Formulate Pro and PDF Studio, but they mystify me.

Thanks,
