C H A P T E R E I G H T Touching Up and Modifying a PDF Document
152
Out of the Way, Please
If you are trying to select an
image on a document that
has overlying text, you could
be in for some serious frustra-
tion unless you change one
of the preferences. Choose
Edit > Preferences > General
(Acrobat > Preferences >
General) and select the “Make
Select tool select images
before text” check box from
the Basic Tools menu.
By default, the General
Preferences include a setting
to select text before images.
Take a Shortcut
For those who prefer to work with mouse and shortcut keys, click the first object
with the TouchUp Object tool, and then press Ctrl+A (Command+A) to select the
page’s or document’s objects.
Reuse and Recycle
Once you have an image or image segment copied, you can reuse it. You can
also save the image as a file. Select the image in the document, and then right-
click (Control-click) to open the shortcut menu. Choose Save Image As, name
the image, and specify the save location.
