Try opening it in FoxIt. Then save out from Foxit with a different name. You may well have an unprotected document after that.

Well after a bit of running around I was able to find out two things. First you are correct the document is protected and you can tell by going to file then document properties then security and it will tell you what is protected. Next in a document that is not all protected you can select an area with the snapshot function then go to print and it will say print graphic and it will print just the area you selected filling the complete paper size. Now if I can just unprotect the document I will be able to print what I need.

The best test would be to go back to a document that worked before and see if you can print from it. If so, then the current one that you are working with is protected. I'm not sure, unless you have the full acrobat program (not just the reader) that you can tell if a doc is protected.

Actually I have done this before where I just select a part of the page I want text or what ever and after selecting I go to print and the "print selection" is available. For some reason I can not remember if I used the camera or the data selection tool. In any case it does not work anymore.
How would I tell if the document is protected. These are TV schematics.

There are some pdf documents that the author has protected. With these, you cannot copy any part of it. You might try FoxIt reader (pdf reader) where you can save back a copy and now you should be able to take parts of it as you are trying. To get just text, you do not want to use the camera, but the little vertical line that allows you to highlight the text you want. If you want the full graphic layout, etc, then you will want to use the camera which will copy to a graphics program (via the clipboard). You can get Foxit at

I tried the detect and repair function but it did not fix it. I wonder if I am using it correctly. I view a page the click on the little camera snapshot the drag across the area I want to print. In my case the camera is always dimmed plus no action when clicked of coarse. I tried removing the program then reinstalling it and that did not work either.

FWIW, mine still works. You can also go to "Help" and do the "Detect and repair" function and see if that fixes it. What exactly do you need to do with the "shot"? Reason I ask is there are other ways if it can't be repaired.

----- Original Message ----- From: "LarryB"

My adoboe reader 7 does not have the ability to select a part of a page
and then print it. The "snapshot" function is not available. It is
dimmed. The object select function is there and appears to function but I can't find any info on it in the help menu. All I want to do is select
a part of a page and print it.
Thanks for any help.
