How can I insert a page from a pdf document in a thread?

Question

I would like to ask for some help about a student book in English. And I have the images of the pages in a pdf document. However, I am unable to insert the page in this thread. Is this possible?. Well, .... I have to try it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You usually cannot cut and paste directly from pdf files (read only). (some pdf files will ask you if you wish to make the file editable; then you can cut and paste) When I wish to copy something from an online pdf file I usually just "capture" an image of the text. You can then post the image of the text in a reply as a typical picture, but you cannot edit the text.

Of course, if you have a program the creates pdf files you can usually covert them to back to text files, etc. and then cut and past. Also if you have any optical character readers (ocr...usually for scanners) you could probably print the pdf page and then let the OCR software convert it to a text file from which to cut and paste.

If you just want to post something here from an online pdf file, however, the simplest way is to create an image of the text by "capturing" it (using the "Prt Scrn" key or image capturing programs.)

Just crop out the text that you want to show in a reply.

After reading your comment to Mary I realize that this file may be on you computer; not online. If you wish to cut and paste from it you will have to convert it back to a text file using a program that can create and convert pdf files like Adobe's Acrobat.

If you just want to display the text on SpanishDict in a reply, then the easiest way is to open the document to where you can read it and then "capture" a picture of what you wish to display, and then, post that into a reply like any other picture.

I don't have the program that converts pdf files to text files. Anyway, I have the scanner that has a programme with the option OCR. If I do the try with a document with only texts in it, the document pdf becomes into a file.doc (Word) and I can copy and paste. (More or less, because I have to correct some things in it before).

However, if the document pdf has an image or photograph in it, the option OCR from the scanner does convert it to a file.doc, but the inside of this file.doc is not a text but an image of this text. For that reason, I cannot cut and paste in the thread. My text has a photography next to it.

Good answer but I am afraid that, in this case, it cannot be possible because of the photo. Any other text could do it.

Answer 6

Copy and paste?

This copy function doesn't work in the thread because it is a private document and it is isn't in the net and it hasn't got URL. - nila45, Oct 11, 2011
