You should be able to copy text as text from a pdf and paste it in Wordpad, Notepad or MS Word. Used to do it all the time for part #'s when doing tech support. Images might be more complicated, but I though you could right click and image within the pdf and paste it ito a MS Word doc.

I'm thinking your right, I may just not be able to get it into text form.

Least not with what programs I have or can find.

Lunch time, then nap, then...??

Looks like your from MN, where if I may ask?

Lakeville. Clive's Roadhouse and Pizzeria Lola with Steve (noname) ring a bell?

Maybe a pic will help, me and my grandson a couple weeks ago.


Time sure flies, been nearly a year since the pizza place, doesn't seem like it. That one was interesting, but I'm more into conventional toppings.

Remember my Road House ride? Looks a little different now, put RK air shocks on it.
