Title: PDF file.
Post by: Olympia5776 on 10 February 2010, 18:52:23

I had a copy of a log of a WW2 B17 pilots tour of duty e mailed to me in PDF file format . It is a very sobering read .
How do I get it available for you to read on here ?

I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong.
Keep your OOF browser open. Open another for the email. Open the PDF & highlight all & then drag the highlight over to the new topic.
I think that's how i've done it before. Please don't shout at me if i'm wrong :P

It depends if the PDF has a scan of the document or the text.  If the latter then you can copy-and-paste the text into the thread, if a scan then you either need to run it through OCR software or convert it to a jpg.
