I've been trying to figure out how to pull text off a power point that's using Adobe. Seems like I can't save the power point unless I'm doing it wrong. I wanted to put the text on word instead of studying slide after slide. Be nice if I could highlight like the norm but that's not the case here. Any tips from anyone welcomed.

I just tried duplicating what I think you're trying to do and it works fine. I have Adobe fonts installed and available in both PowerPoint and Word. No problems copy/pasting. How did you install the Adobe font that you're using in PP and trying to use in Word?

I've had a PDF file that seemed to be scanned in. I couldn't copy/paste any of the text because each page was viewed as an image. I figured out that I could save it as a word doc and it would use some text recognition software to convert it from the image into text and then i could even create a new PDF file. Not sure if you would be able to do this, just throwin it out there.

Thanks guys yea it sees it as an image. I can pull the text off with an app on my phone it's just a little time consuming.
