I got it. .pdf files download on Internet their text can be highlighted and copy/paste. All documents on Internet printed as .ps files and/or later converted to .pdf have problem. Disregarding they can be retrieve and read, their text can't be highlighted and copy/paste. I don't know what mistake committed. Any suggestion?
Ghostscript includes a program called ps2ascii that might have a chance at some ps and pdf files where evince won't copy the text but even that won't work on the ones that have been rendered to images. If you look through the raw ps file and see big chunks of hex data it is probably an image. --- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
