Question

As a summer intern in the Marketing Department of Jovanovic Laboratory Supply, Inc, in Bozeman, Montana, you have been working on the company's annual catalog. You notice that staffers could save a lot of valuable time by copying and inserting images and text from the old edition into the new document. You've been asked to draft a memo to describe the procedure of copy and pasting pictures and text from PDF documents.Create an instructional memo on how to copy and pictures and text from PDF documents. Read the original steps below and revise it so that the steps described below are in abbreviated form, and arrange all necessary instructions in logical sequence. Ensure that the steps are clear and easy to follow. The memo should be addressed to "Marketing Department Staff" members and signed by you.

How to copy and paste images and text from PDF documents: You start by viewing the Edit pull-down menu in an open PDF document. Depending on the Acrobat version, a feature called Take a Snapshot can be seen. It is preceded by a tiny camera icon and a check mark when the tool is activated. To copy content, you need to select the part of the PDF document that you want to capture. The cursor will change its shape once the feature is activated. Check what shape it acquires. With the left mouse button, click the location where you want to copy a passage of image. At the same time, you need to drag the mouse over the page in the direction you want. A selected area appears that you can expand and reduce, but you can't let go of the left mouse button. Once you release the left mouse button, a copy of the selected area will be made. You can then paste the selected area into a blank Microsoft Office document, whether Word, Excel, or Powerpoint. You can also take a picture of an entire page, if needed.
