In order to copy and paste out of curriculum documents from the Ontario
government curriculum website, you must have an Adobe Acrobat Reader
[which may be already on your computer - check under Start, Programs and
look for Adobe Acrobat]. You can download Acrobat from Adobe
or often install it from a magazine CD [like Maximum CD magazine] or from
the Government Site [look for the Acrobat
symbol and click on it].
-
Download Acrobat. Save it to disk and then install it on your C:
drive.
-
Once you have installed Acrobat on your machine, when you return to
the Government site, and click on any .pdf [portable document file/format]
profile. Acrobat will start automatically. SOME versions of
Acrobat, allow you to change the hand cursor to a text cursor [abc/text]
highlight, Edit, Copy sections of the document. If you are able to
do this, then open a word processor on top of your Internet browser and
then click Edit, Paste. The lines, paragraphs, pages you want will
be pasted into your word processor.
-
If your version of Acrobat does not allow copy, paste, then you will have
to save the profile to your C: drive first. Once the profile is fully
loaded into your browser, click File, Save As. Save the .pdf file
to any file. Once the file has been completely transferred, you can
exit the Internet.
-
Click Start, Programs, Adobe Acrobat Reader. Once Acrobat has loaded,
click File, Open and find the .pdf file you saved from the net. Inside
Acrobat, click on the text button [abc/text], highlight, edit, copy and
then paste into your word processor.
-
Remember that you cannot create or change .pdf files unless you have purchased
Acrobat. The free online version allows you only to read documents.
