Who knows how I can copy a selection from one pdf (including pictures and text) into another pdf?

    Correct answer Andrea25905493kd02
    1. Have both PDFs open and place side by side on the same monitor or screen.
    2. Make a selection of what you want copied using the “selection tool”
    3. Then, right click on the selection you made and select “Take a snapshot” (Do not select “Take a snapshot” under the Edit dropdown menu
    4. Click on the other pdf you want to transfer your selecton to and press “ctrl +V”
    5. Place the selected new image wherever you need in the page of other PDF.

    Hope that helps!

      The method I use is to open the document containing the pages I want to copy and extract the relevant pages to a new docuent. Save and close the new document.

      Now open the document you want to copy the pages into and insert the pages in the position you want them placed.

      Not as straight forward a simple copy and paste - but Adobe has failed to provide the simple system that works in vitually every other piece of software.

      You can also use the drag and drop from the pages display in Acrobat.
