Note that on some PDFs (not all-it depends upon how the PDF is created) you can copy and paste the text on a page by page basis. It ends up being just ASCII, so formulas come out a bit messed up and you need to touch them up, but this allows you to borrow quite a bit of information. This is totally legal, of course, for some documents like Bowditch. I did verify that you can copy and paste from the Bowditch PDFs. -----Original Message----- From Navigation Mailing List [mailto:NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM]On Behalf Of Richard B.
