hi
my name's jan,
new here, so hello :) to all x

this is a, "is it possible" question, or have i wasted the whole morning
trying to do something that is impossible :s

i have a large document. it started out in pdf form, in adobe reader.
it has 600+ odd pages, and the pages have been numbered.

i want to print it off, but want to copy and paste into word, so i can edit,
and obviously make the document smaller, (saving paper and ink)
before i even edit, just by copying it into word its size is halved, only
300 pages.

my problem:
in adobe, the pages have been numbered (not sure if its important, but they
are right hand, top corner of each page)
when i copy the doc to word, i now have the page numbers dotted through out
the document, usually 2 or 3 to a (word) page.

can i remove them?

i know 'where' the 'replace' function is in word, and have some small
experience in using the function (in previous versions of word)
but i have no idea 'if' or how to remove the page numbers from the 'copied
over' document.

i have no experience with adobe, and can't see a way to remove the page
numbers prior to copy and paste.

any advice would be great :)
even if its, "stop wasting your time, its not possible"
lol

thanks guys,
jan x
 
hey, its ok, i found it :)
lol

replace: special: any digit

it only took me 5 hrs lol

i now have blank lines to find a way of removing :) lol
 
thanks dean :)

that page is great!
i've not used word 2007 before, and its quite different from its earlier
versions...
lots of trial and error to come i think lol

that site looks like clean, easy to follow help
again, thanks

Although you seem to have found an answer that suits you, another
possibility is to use the "Booklet" feature in Adobe Reader to print the
document as a half-size booklet (you may even be able to print them just two
pages per sheet).
