I have just bought a new camera and the instructions are printed (on screen)
in Adobe Reader; there are 104 pages. I wish to copy the pages I need in to a word document and then modify and print what I want. Is there any way I can use Word 2007 to do this? I remember reading that Word has an OCR capability but do not know if this would work from the Adobe Reader screen. Thank you. |

Did you try simply highlighlighting the text you want, copy and paste it
into Word? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Stewart" wrote in message ...

If you use the AR (Adobe Reader) print as a booklet. It prints two pages on each side of a single sheet of A4/Letter paper to create a booklet. That's 104/4 = 26 pages. So why not save the time and print a booklet from AR?

If that particular file allows it (which depends on how the instruction file
was created), you can click the Tools menu in Adobe Reader, click Select & Zoom, and click Select Tool. The mouse cursor should become an I-beam when positioned over the text area, and you can drag it across & down to select text and pictures. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection, switch to a Word document, and paste. OCR probably won't be necessary, because the copied text should paste as editable text. The formatting may be different, though. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

To add to what the others have said, although you can certainly print the
entire manual as a booklet or copy selected text to a Word document, have you considered just printing specific pages of the PDF through Adobe Reader? -- Suzanne S.

The Panasonic instruction manual is security protected and will not permit
me to copy however as you have suggested I can print the pages I want. My idea of using "Word" was to condense the parts that I wanted and have a small compact note to go in the camera pouch.

Something like Serif's PagePlus X4 can import a lot of PDFs and Edit them. Does your printer dialogue not have various options to print to a scale of some sort, like multiple pages per sheet etc...?

I was going to suggest the same thing; in addition to the booklet printing
that Terry mentioned, it is possible to scale pages down. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Dave Symes" wrote in message ...

What about using screenshots, use OCR, and then convert to Word?

Out of curiosity (and because I enjoy a challenge), what model camera? Let
me see how long it takes me to throw in the towel. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Stewart" wrote in message ...
