One of my teachers puts her powerpoint notes up online in PDF format so no one can edit it but I like to put my notes in the powepoint outline view if you are familiar with those. I mean i could put it in microsoft word in some kind of outline but i just didnt know if there was any other way of getting the information from that since you cant copy and paste.

any suggestions?

Adobe makes a pdf editor/creator. If you could get your hands on that, you could edit it any way you want. Not sure of any other ways around it.

In acrobat reader try clicking on "File" then "Save as Text"

This will copy the contents of the PDF into a txt document. Then you can copy/past into word if you want.

Yea you will need adobe acrobat professional. to edit them atleast. but for a way to take notes in an outline....id say you are just going to be doing a lot of hard work. at the same time i say get rid of adobe and go with foxit. id say save out each page as a jpg or the such then create a new ppt with each jpg as a slide... going to be a bit of a work tho
