Have you ever needed a part of a PDF document added to your Word/Power Point document?

Have you ever needed to take a piece of a PDF file and add that to a Word or Power Point file? Or maybe you want to add the text to an e-mail message without re-typing the information?

Adobe Reader offers a quick and easy tool that allows you to take a picture of any part of the PDF file. The Snapshot tool makes a copy of the selected area available to the clipboard that you can then paste into any other document.
  1. Go to Edit - Take Snapshot
  2. Click and drag over the area that you want to "snapshot"
  3. A message will state "The selected area has been copied"
  4. Go to your Word/Power Point/e-mail and Paste (CTRL + V or click Paste)
If you find that you use the Snapshot Tool frequently, use the steps below to add it to the toolbar:
  1. Right-click in the toolbar area 
  2. go to Edit 
  3. click on Take Snapshot
