Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008copying from Preview and Acrobat Reader into Word
I've run into an annoying problem. When cutting and pasting a graphic or chunk of text from a PDF into a Word document, the behavior of Preview and Acrobat Reader are very different. If I use Preview, most of the time, the resulting "image" is simply a black rectangle -- in other words, no image. If I use Reader, I get the original image, which I can resize. I have tried the same experiment with PDF Pen and it behaves just as Preview does -- black image. Anyone know the reason for this behavior and if it can be corrected? This is with 10.4.9 and Word 2004. But it's happened with most versions of OS X I've used.  Signature"Never believe anything until it's officially denied." What level of update have you applied to Word? This was supposed to be resolved by one of the service packs, I believe.
