Make It Snappy
Acrobat includes the Snap-
shot tool, which lets you
capture some of the content
on a page to reuse. Choose
Tools > Select & Zoom >
Snapshot tool, or choose the
Snapshot tool from the
Select & Zoom toolbar.
Resize the page, the Docu-
ment pane, or the program
window to show what you
want to capture, and click any-
where on the Document pane
to capture everything visible.
Drag a marquee with the
Snapshot tool anywhere on
the page to capture the con-
tent within the marquee.
You see the colors invert
when you capture the con-
tent, which is copied to the
clipboard and is then ready
to use in another PDF file or
another application. By the
way, anything you capture
on the page is used as an
image, whether it started
out as text or an image.
C h a p t e r t h r e e
You can copy and paste content as well as images within a PDF
document—see how that's done in Chapter 8, "Touching Up and Modify-
ing a PDF Document. " If you have content in a PDF document that you'd
like to use again (and don't want to take the time to export the file or
its elements), use the Snapshot tool. Read about using snapshots in the
sidebar "Make It Snappy. "
