I am trying to scan a bunch of pages I have and when I scan them I save them as a PDF. There are a buch of names and numbers on the pages (like a phone book). Can I select those names and numbers to copy - paste them? I have the select tool selected but it only lets me drag clich and create a selestion window and past it as a jpg. I want to select the text and paste it as editable text.
please help!
Scanning to a pdf document and...You need to OCR it first.
Scanning to a pdf document and...Unless you do the OCR, you can only do a graphic copy and paste, selecting a section of the window to copy.
What is an OCR? How do I OCR it?

In Acrobat you go to Document - OCR Text Recognition - Recognize text using OCR...
