Finding Words
You can use the Find command to find a complete word or part of a word in the current PDF document. Acrobat Reader looks for the word by reading every word on every page in the file, including text in form fields.
To find a word using the Find command:
1. Click the Find button (Binoculars), or choose Edit > Find.
2. Enter the text to find in the text box.
3. Select search options if necessary:
Match Whole Word Only finds only occurrences of the complete word you enter in the box. For example, if you search for the word stick, the words tick and sticky will not be highlighted.
Match Case finds only words that contain exactly the same capitalization you enter in the box.
Find Backwards starts the search from the current page and goes backwards through the document.
4. Click Find. Acrobat Reader finds the next occurrence of the word.
To find the next occurrence of the word, Do one of the following:
Choose Edit > Find Again
Reopen the find dialog box, and click Find Again.
(The word must already be in the Find text box.)
Copying and pasting text and graphics to another application
You can select text or a graphic in a PDF document, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste it into another application such as a word processor. You can also paste text into a PDF document note or into a bookmark. Once the selected text or graphic is on the Clipboard, you can switch to another application and paste it into another document.
Note: If a font copied from a PDF document is not available on the system displaying the copied text, the font cannot be preserved. A default font is substituted.
To select and copy it to the clipboard:
1. Select the text tool T, and do one of the following:
To select a line of text, select the first letter of the sentence or phrase and drag to
the last letter.
To select multiple columns of text (horizontally), hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag across the width of the document.
To select a column of text (vertically), Hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Option+Command (Mac OS) as you drag the length of the document.
To select all the text on the page, choose Edit > Select All. In single page mode, all the text on the current page is selected. In Continuous or Continuous – facing mode, most of the text in the document is selected. When you release the mouse button, the selected text is highlighted. To deselect the text and start over, click anywhere outside the selected text.
The Select All command will not select all the text in the document. A workaround for this (Windows) is to use the Edit > Copy command. Choose Edit > Copy to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
2. To view the text, choose Window > Show Clipboard
In Windows 95, the Clipboard Viewer is not installed by default and you cannot use the Show Clipboard command until it is installed. To install the Clipboard Viewer, Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and then click the Windows Setup tab. Double-click Accessories, check Clipboard Viewer, and click OK.

NOW OUR STARS, WE DESIGNATE EVERY SINGLE MONTH OUR OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE GROUPS HAVE CREATED SOME INNOVATIONS AND EFFECTIVENESS AS TO HOW TO CARRY OUT THE GOOD WORK THAT THEY DO. OUR FIRST TEAM HERE TODAY IS LED BY DISTRICT ATTORNEY STEVE COOLEY. UNFORTUNATELY, HE WASN'T ABLE TO JOIN US THIS MORNING, BUT ALSO IS OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICER, SACHI HAMAI IS HERE. OUR I.S.D. DIRECTOR, TOM TINDALL, I.S.D. SENIOR INFORMATION SPECIALIST, TERRANCE GOUCWAA, AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS ADVISORY BOARD DIRECTOR, JOHN REG. IN 2008, THE D.A. AND I.S.D. LAUNCHED AN E-SUBPOENA PROJECT, A FULLY INTEGRATED DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT REPLACED A VERY ANTIQUATED PAPER SUBPOENA DELIVERY PROCESS. PRIOR TO E-SUBPOENA, DELAYS AND ERRORS IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF SUBPOENAS OFTEN OCCURRED, WHICH IN TURN MADE IT NECESSARY FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND HIS STAFF TO MAKE MULTIPLE FOLLOW-UP PHONE CALLS TO AVOID CASE CONTINUANCE OR DISMISSALS. NOW NEARLY 75 PERCENT OF ALL SUBPOENAS ARE SENT ELECTRONICALLY TO VARIOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY SAVES, OF COURSE, TIME, MONEY AS WELL AS THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE. THE PROJECT, OF COURSE, IS AN OVERWHELMING SUCCESS. THE PROJECT HAS SAVED COUNTLESS D.A. AND L.A.P.D. STAFF HOURS AND ITS SUCCESS HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY PEACE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS THEIR QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVITY COMMITTEE. ALSO, I'M PROUD TO REPORT THAT OVER ONE DOZEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN WORKING WITH OUR D.A. TO IMPLEMENT THE E-SUBPOENA WITHIN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS. I THINK WE SHOULD APPLAUD THIS TEAM FOR AN OUTSTANDING JOB. CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE.]
TOM TINDALL: WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO BE A PART OF THIS TIME, THE MONEY SAVING AND PAPER SAVING EFFORT. THE I.S.D. WAS INCLUDED WITH THE D.A., WHO WE THANK FOR ALLOWING US TO BE A PART OF THE TEAM AND THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER BOARD AND, OF COURSE, WE THANK THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR THIS WONDERFUL RECOGNITION. THANK YOU ALL.
SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: THANK YOU ALL. LET'S TAKE A PICTURE. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE.]
SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: THANK YOU FOR THAT APPLAUSE. THEY DO DESERVE THAT. OUR SECOND TEAM CREATED OUTBOUND DIALING SYSTEM WHICH IS CURRENTLY UTILIZED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES. JOINING US IS OUR D.P.S.S. CHIEF DEPUTY SHERYL SPILLER, AGAIN TOM TINDALL AND TEAM MEMBERS WITH D.P.S.S. AS WELL AS I.S.D.. THE OUTBOUND DIALING SYSTEM IS AN AUTOMATED TELEPHONE MESSAGE DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT REACHES AS MANY AS 40,000. D.P.S.S. PARTICIPANTS AND CONSUMERS PER DAY. THE SYSTEM ENHANCES CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL AS IMPROVES PARTICIPATION RATES AND HELPS REACH OUT TO THE MOST VULNERABLE OF OUR CLIENTS IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCIES SUCH AS WILDFIRE, HEAT WAVES OR EXTREME COLD WEATHER. NUMEROUS RECORDED MESSAGES IN ENGLISH AS WELL AS NINE OTHER LANGUAGES HAVE EXPANDED D.P.S.S.'S COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES AND IMPROVED CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE SYSTEM REMINDS PARTICIPANTS ABOUT SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS, IMPORTANT DEADLINES AS WELL AS DEADLINES TO BENEFITS.
