This picture sort of speaks for itself.  Now this doesn't happen all the time with all PDFs, but when it does I notice a few patterns. For example....  Intriguing! Can anyone help me solve this puzzle?

 Funny and strange . . . thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to be smart, handsome and modest. But, I guess I'll have to be satisfied with two out of three . . .

 I didn't look hard - but only found one similarly described problem Adobe: Acrobat - Adobe Acrobat Pro Can't Copy and Paste? Maybe that guy can tell you what he found? It must be an encoding issue of some kind. |

The aliens appear to have gotten wise to this thread, as my reply now is now the first post. Anyone who reads this will wonder what we are talking about. I've always wanted to be smart, handsome and modest. But, I guess I'll have to be satisfied with two out of three . . .

Yesterday afternoon I edited the post and put the enlarged alien head picture on it. My entire post promptly vanished, along with the buttons that would have allowed me to edit it. Today it is back, so I guess They must have just borrowed it temporarily for some routine probing. |
