Top posting since the Quoted-printable encoding format Jim is using doesn't
quote right in OE.
I'm not sure how you thought you were copying and pasting PDF documents
before. The only way I've ever found to do this, with a PDF, is to use the
snapshot tool(camera) or Alt-PrtScrn to copy the entire active window. The
only other option was the Select tool and copy which is text only.
Are you sure you haven't been out in the sun too long! ;-)

When I opened the message, I found that Diane Poremsky had written:
if the application is set as the default for pdf, clicking the link
should open it. it might open in a new window, not in the IE window,
but it's still a one step process.
Wanna bet it doesn't open within an IE window? And it doesn't even
have the Adobe Acrobat tool bar
1 Maybe that's the cause for our
crossed communication.
Take a look at these two urls:
1. The item:
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=451
98
2. After clicking on "Download Product Manual":
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/manuals.taf?f=form&ItemID=45
198
3. The .pdf file..........in a NEW IE Window:
http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals/45000-45999/45198.pdf
It certainly is a new window, right? Are you saying this isn't the way it
should work?
Or is it possible that Harbor programmed their site in a way you haven't
seen it work before? Or maybe I've slept too many years <smile>?
Or maybe "what we have here is a lack of communication"?
Now look at the "Specification Table". What I want to do is highlight it
and save it to a file.....like I have always done before. However, I can
only copy and paste the text.....even when I select copy with formatting.
Looks like this (only part of it shown deliberately:
Weight
690 lb.
Capacity
6 Cubic Feet
Drum Diameter
28"
I can use the camera icon and then "paste special" and the entire table
will paste into whatever app I'm using.
There is an option when I right click in the app I'm using to "Export to
File", but as yet I haven't been able to export it into an acceptable file.
Try it!
That's fine! But, I'm just curious as to why I can't do it the way I did
before.
So, at this point, it's no big deal and if you folks don't want to spend any
more time or bandwith on it, that's fine with me. I have just a touch of
an obsessive-compulsive nature <smile>.
