Most of us use PDF documents, but we may not realize that we can copy and paste parts of PDF documents and that we can make PDF documents using the school photocopier. This first fact means that you can make tests and work sheets more quickly and the second means that you only need to photocopy (scan) something once and it is emailed to you as a PDF file to use.
To copy a part of a PDF document in Adobe Reader, click on the camera button and then select the image or text that you wish to copy, You may then copy and paste as normal. In Adobe Acrobat, you follow a similar procedure and you can capture images, or text. In the case of copied text, it may be pasted into a word document and then edited.
Derek P. can set up an account for you with the school photocopier that will allow you to access the scanner options.
