AFAICT, evince (the PDF reader that's standard for GNOME-based distros) will allow you to copy and paste text from PDFs as well. Also remember that some PDF readers have multiple tools available, and the default tool might be "scroll/drag pages" not "select text". Also also remember that if the PDF doesn't actually contain text, but is a pile of images, then there will be no text to select. The PDF that you're trying to look at doesn't have that problem, but for some reason, evince won't let you copy the text. Acrobrat Reader will. No, I don't know why either.... -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
