You have to choose your OS in a drop-down before you download.  You didn't do
this?  This is how they know which version to display.  (Yeah, I noticed that
too about that strange HTML code and trying to copy and paste it!  I though
I'd lost my mind!)

> Harold, are you running 98 or 98SE? Acrobat reader 5.05 is for 98 while
Clint is correct that version 6.01 is for 98SE and above....  Peter Kaulback

I think Clint concluded that version 6.0.1 is for XP (and maybe other
advanced versions) but not for 98. Phil says he's running it on 98SE but
then he adds he's using a special "machine which runs 640M of Ram that it is
not supposed to be able to do" ... I'm running 98SE ... and AR 5 is the best
that will download from Adobe (which is all right for my needs). Those
"awesome features" he mentions will have to wait until I move up in computer
life.

Now I'm more interested in how the Adobe site was able to post only that one
version for me to see, while beneath that posting was a whole slew of
versions listed. I only found that out when I went to copy/paste the AR 5
information. The following are the only two lines I saw ... while embedded
in the page were listed versions for all the various operating systems. I
might go back and examine the View Source for that html trick (not that I
need it).

> Finally accomplished the task, <snip> Now with AR 5 I reduced the size to
fit the screen and of followed with selecting the image (text with it),
copy/pasting it into IrfanView (or Lview), and all is done ... everything is
very easy when you "know how". So now good bye AR 4; I'm not going to put it
back but I'm wondering how it was done with that version ... Harold

> From Jorge ... After you select the picture, you can zoom it up to 100% or
more and choose edit/copy or just hit Ctrl+C and you'll have a better
resolution image, you increase the resolution as you zoom it in if you hit
copy then. ... Jorge
