pdf documents

[Potatoman]

Hi all. I have a pdf document with around 500 pages. But i only need 3 pages to email to work. Can anyone please tell me how to save just these pages so i can email them? Acrobat doesnt let you re-save. Thanks all. PM

good place to start is

advice on shareware programs that allow you to create pdf's from any file without the need to buy the full acrobat proffessional program.

do a search for 'pdf editors' as well if you cant find what you want and also goto http://www.docudesk.com/ and try their pdf file. Good luck and do me a favour, post how you got on

cheers

You've probably tried the 'Select Tool' and found that it only copies the text. Have you tried the 'Snapshot Tool' (Camera Icon) on the toolbar? I tried it and it seems to work for copying a page at a time then this can be pasted into a wordprocessor (or probably directly into your email). I suggest that you scroll to the bottom of a page and then drag a box upwards to capture the page.

Maybe you can get it to do the three pages?

If you've got Acrobat 6.0 (not just Reader) you can go to Document>Pages>Extract pages, to remove the pages you want into another PDF file.

I can recommend PDFcreator which you can get from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ for free. Print the three pages you want using the PDFcreator printer and that should be it. Some pdf's and newer versions of acrobat reader have copy and print protection in the file which might scupper your chances of doing it this way.
