I'm using Acrobat reader 7.0, when I use the text select tool to
select a rectangle of text, it copies it in reverse order... So if I
copy the labels from a vertical address bus for example, I expect it
to be top to bottom, but it's bottom to top. No matter in what order I
drew the box. Even if I rotate the page to be upside-down.
Is this a bug or some sort of feature? I've been checking out the
various options, seen nothing so far. |

Obviously, all bugs and mess-ups are FEATURES.
Yes, in software, all bugs are features. In hardware, the slightest
mistake is grounds for a firing. I love software! |

How _do_ you "select text" in v7? I've not been able to do much with
Adobe v7 except paste-over transparencies. I use v4 for everything
else.

Yeah, but CutePDF ain't free no more, so you have to find an old copy
somewhere. As I vaguely recall, CutePDF was a GUI for Ghostit.
