#3787 RE: excel #3784

excel, Could you give a short intro to what Adobe Acrobat
and Acrobat Reader is used for. When i got the error saying
my browser does not support .pdf file types, i loaded it and made
it available but was taken back by the complexity of the screen
that appeared on my monitor, plus the small hard to read text.

It seems to serve a huge usage in the real world because
the file it creates can include the kitchen sink and everything
else under the sun, it seems.

I don't use it unless i really really have to, and then i hope
that a duplicate in whatever is the html or simple to view
file format is available, which i think means no images
or pictures or charts & graphs. Sometimes my Google
search brings up hits in .pdf but have a message included
saying "html version" available. As a side point it might be
nice to open up this boards iBox to include under search
engines more than just Google incase others places will
offer an html version of a pdf when Google does not.
I remember lostcowboy's http://www.alltheweb.com
search site had a zillion bell & whistle options :o)

... possible to copy and paste sections of a PDF file
into a new PDF, Excel or Word file without losing
the formatting of graphs, charts etc?...
You can choose "Save as..."
and select the Rich Text Format option.
You can open the resulting .RTF file in Word.
From what others on this forum say, the translation isn't perfect,
but you may luck out. Worth a shot...
One can copy any area as a graphic and then transfer.
Text is degraded and cannot be edited as it is now...
