No problem Daran. In the PDF format the whole document is considered to be an 'image' because, while in Acrobat Reader I believe that text is rendered using a praphical method, probably vector graphics, to preserve the fonts and all the other atributes of text. So, whhether you've got text alone, text and graphical drawings, and /or pictures, its all considered to be an image. Which I guess, in escence, is what it is, albeit a special kind of image representation. What beats me is how Acrobat text thus represented can end up being readable if pasted into Word. Someone much more knowledgable than me must answer that one, (smile). HTH..

This is what confuses me, if its an image while in PDF, how can it be printed as text without any user intervention? I know I'm making this more complicated than it need be, but I then read Grahams question about Word and this is what raised the above question.
