Larry,

No I can't. pdf can only be pasted onto a page as an attachment. If you wan to post a segment of a large pdf document there is a nice free program

PDF Split Or Merge http://www.pdfworkshop.com/

This free program allows you to split out pages from a pdf file. This is useful when it is only a couple of pages from a long document or if you want to split a large document into segments small enough to attach to an email or post to the BBS.

Some pdf files allow you to highlight and copy the text present into a program like word. Then you can edit it and fix the copy errors. That is what I did with the document above. Images and tables can be copied using a screen capture program. Ther eis one built into many Windows versions called a snipping tool. There is als a free one that is more customizable you can download called:

ScreenHunter (free Version) http://www.wisdom-soft.com/

That will let you see the corner of what you are snipping to make a better capture and to save it.
