Re: Selecting text in acrobat with IBM clones
It does help if you are able to save the PDF document to your local computer
and open it with Acrobat, rather than your web browser. Although, if you
can't save it(try save target), open a PDF document on your computer, click
on tools - Select Text, then close that document and open the PDF on the
web, it should stay in select text mode. You may want to remember that
<Ctrl-c> (Copy) and <Ctrl-v> Paste, will often work when the edit menu or
Right click menu doesn't allow it.
