Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0

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.

2.  Choose Edit > Copy to copy the selected text to the clipboard.

3.  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.

SUP. KNABE, CHAIR: WE ARE HONORED TODAY TO HAVE GORDON ANTHONY HERE. WE'RE GOING TO THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE ACCESS SERVICES BOARD. GORDON HAS BEEN A LONG-TIME FRIEND AND VALUED-- JUST KEEPS ME IN TOUCH WITH A LOT OF ISSUES THAT I NEED TO BE IN TOUCH WITH AND APPRECIATED ALL HE'S DONE. HE'S BEEN A VALUED MEMBER OF OUR COUNTY FAMILY SINCE JANUARY OF 1995. HE SERVES AS SENIOR DEPUTY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION COMPLIANCE OFFICER WITH THE OFFICE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DIRECTOR DENNIS TAFOYA. HE WAS APPOINTED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN JANUARY 2001 TO SERVE AS A BOARD MEMBER OF ACCESS SERVICES. WORKING IN COOPERATION WITH OUR OTHER BOARD OFFICES, HE ENSURED THAT THE PARATRANSIT PROGRAM WERE PROVIDED TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE A.D.A., WHICH ENABLED THEM TO BECOME ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. AND, OBVIOUSLY, THE BOARD OFFICES, FROM TIME TO TIME, HAVE MANY ISSUES AND WE COULD ALWAYS CALL GORDON TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE BEING HANDLED CORRECTLY, AND HE'S BEEN IN A-- WHEELCHAIR USER SINCE 1970 AND HAS OVER 25 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE IN DISABILITY ISSUES PERTAINING TO COST-EFFECTIVE COMPLIANCE WITH DISABILITY LAWS AND REGULATION. AS I MENTIONED, HE HAS GIVEN UNSELFISHLY OF HIS DEDICATION AND EXPERTISE THAT INCLUDES DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES THAT ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE STATE AND FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHT LAWS. SO, ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY COLLEAGUES, WE DO WANT TO PRESENT THIS PLAQUE IN RECOGNITION OF HIS SERVICE TO ACCESS SERVICES. AS I MENTIONED UPSTAIRS, FORTUNATELY, WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE HIM AS A VALUED MEMBER OF OUR COUNTY FAMILY WHERE ALL OF US, EVERY MEMBER OF THIS BOARD, CAN CALL ON HIM FOR HIS EXPERTISE. SO, GORDON, CONGRATULATIONS FOR A JOB WELL DONE. LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE YEARS OF WORKING WITH YOU. [ APPLAUSE ]

SUP. BURKE: I'D JUST LIKE TO JOIN IN SAYING THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND YOUR DEDICATION TO THE ISSUES THAT YOU SO LOVE AND YOU'VE WORKED SO HARD, AND THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY. I JOIN IN THAT THANKS. [ APPLAUSE ] [ APPLAUSE ]

SUP. KNABE, CHAIR: READY? HOW DOES $1.5 MILLION SOUND? THAT'S HOW MUCH MONEY OUR HARDWORKING AND CARING COUNTY EMPLOYEES DONATED TO THE CHARITABLE GIVING CAMPAIGN THIS PAST YEAR. THE 1.5 MILLION WILL BE... [ APPLAUSE ]

SUP. KNABE, CHAIR: GO AHEAD AND APPLAUD. YEAH. [ APPLAUSE ]

SUP. KNABE, CHAIR: YOU KNOW, THOUGH, THE GREAT THING ABOUT THE CHARITABLE GIVING CAMPAIGN, THE GREAT TAMALE PARTIES AND ALL THESE KINDS OF THINGS TO RAISE MONEY, BUT WE HAVE A GOOD TIME. THE 1.5 MILLION WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG THE FIVE BOARD-APPROVED FUND DISTRIBUTION AGENCIES: UNITED WAY, BROTHERHOOD CRUSADE, ASIAN COMMUNITY FUND, UNITED LATINO FUND AND EARTH SHARE. REPRESENTATIVES OF EACH AGENCY ARE HERE TODAY. THEY ARE A VERY FAMILIAR FACE TO ALL OF US, MR. JOE HAGGERTY, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED WAY. SHERRICE BREATHEMAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BROTHERHOOD CRUSADE, ELLEN MISAWA, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND DEVELOPMENT FOR THE ASIAN/PACIFIC COMMUNITY FUND. PAT SMITH, WHO IS THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FOR EARTH SHARE, AND CHRISTINA CERTA, I BELIEVE IT IS, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF UNITED LATINO FUND. WE WANT TO, FIRST OF ALL, THANK THE DEPARTMENTAL CAMPAIGN COORDINATORS FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP IN MAKING THIS SUCH A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN. THEIR DEDICATION AND ABIDING COMMITMENT TO ENRICHING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN NEED CALL ON OUR GREAT COUNTY OF L.A., SO WE HAVE HERE A OVERSIZED CHECK. WE ARE-- I DON'T KNOW IF THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL YET, BUT WE HAVE A OVERSIZED CHECK. AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED SO MANY TIMES, WE ARE OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER AND WE HAVE A DUTY, AS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THIS REGION, TO HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE, WHETHER IT'S FEEDING THE HUNGRY, HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS, OR PROVIDING VITAL SOCIAL SERVICES TO MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. THE FIVE COUNTRY-APPROVED FUND DISTRIBUTION AGENCIES ARE OUR PARTNERS IN THIS HUMANITARIAN. SO I'M GOING TO ASK CHIEF DEPUTY CAO, SHARON HARPER, TO JOIN ME TO PRESENT THIS CHECK TO THE FIVE F.D.A.S AND WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW, SO IF YOU'LL ALL COME FORWARD. [ APPLAUSE ]
