Expert Tip: Copy and Paste TextCopying
text from a PDF file to Word presents a challenge to many users. If the PDF page
contains tables or multiple columns, selecting text can be downright frustrating
- unless you know the little trick. If
copying text from a PDF frustrates you, then today is the day you learned the
simple solution! Change to the Text tool ("V" or "Shift-V"),
then hold down the Control key (Option key for Mac users). Left-click your mouse
and draw a box around the text you want to select. Release the mouse key... and
presto! Other text selection options include tools for column and table selection
- "Shift-V" will select each of these tools in turn. If
you prefer to copy and paste a graphic of that area of the page instead of text,
simply select the Graphics Select tool ("G"), draw a box with the mouse
as above, then paste into your favorite application. This feature is fantastic
for technical writers, litigators, academics and others who need "snapshots"
of the documents they work on. Once you know it, you won't remember how you could
work without it! Do
your PDF files need a Tune Up?Too
often, users abandon their downloads of PDF files simply because the file is far
too large. Some files include corrupted pages, and most are completely unprotected
against unauthorized changes. The vast majority of PDF files made available for
customers, vendors, employees or the general public don't even include a simple
link back to a website! 99% of PDF files look hopelessly unprofessional in Google's
search results. Documents
that go in front of clients are not the only worry. Without the bookmarks feature,
any PDF file longer than about 20 pages can only be navigated by flipping pages.
Time is wasted with each use of the file. That's
why DSI created the PDF Tune Up. It's a comprehensive health-check, functional
enhancement and overnight slimming regimen for PDF files. From
backwards compatibility to accessibility, DSI debugs your PDF problems and generates
solutions you can use. Read

compression shrinks scanned documentsStarting
with Acrobat 5.0x, PDF files may utilize the new JBIG2 compression technology
for scanned document files. What does that mean in English?
Very simple.
JBIG2 means 30%-60% smaller files than the "usual" CCITT-G4 compression
used in most document imaging applications. With JBIG2 compression, you get twice
as many pages per megabyte! The result is faster networks, smaller email attachments,
more files per disc, and increased ease of use. Document
Solutions, Inc. offers JBIG2 compression as an option on all scanning projects.
We also service clients with existing collections of scanned PDF files, adding
JBIG2 compression to free drive space and reduce bandwidth. The
forthcoming new release of Acrobat introduces support for JPEG2000 compression
for radically smaller COLOR images. Acrobat 6.0 means dramatic new possibilities
for deploying image-heavy, layout-rich documents online. And because it's PDF,
JPEG2000 is now part of the global electronic document standard. Adobe
