PCWorks: Adobe Reader question

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I tried using FoxIt but it will not let me save it. Says it
is 
protected. Also How do you get rid of the page window on the
left?
I also tried to take a snapshot which works but no print
function and 
when you open the snapshot in an image program the
resolution is very 
poor and not useable.
FoxIt also said I might be able to save the document if I
purchased 
their pro version.!

Can you do a screen print, save it in a graphics
program?  I just did it with an unprotected PDF, I
would try it with the one you are working with.

Larry,
Did you know you can go to "print" and choose
"current view". This will
print what you see on your screen.
