How the heck do you paste from Adobe????????????? I want to paste NEC rules from the book.

<Assuming you are using Acrobat / .pdf viewer>

You cant (easily). You are not looking at 'real' text. It is more or less a image.
There is a option on your toolbar to select text with a "camera". It will copy whatever is in the box to your clipboard. From there you can open a grapics program and paste it. Save that as a .jpg/.gif/.png ect file and post or link to it. Fun!!!!!!puke_1

I have no trouble pasting from pdf. On the acrobat reader, there is a Select Tool ( the button looks like a Capital I next to a triangle I> ). You have to press that to be able to highlight text. Once you can do that, you cut and paste like anything else.

That will work on generated documents.
If the PDF is something that is scanned (like what I tried it on), it will copy your selection like a graphic.

Ive never tried to copy from a .pdf before... something new...
