[Coco] OT: PDF Was: Upgrading a CoCo 1 to 64K

[Arthur Flexser]

Speaking of which, I just ran into a situation where it would have been
convenient to have been able to capture some text in a PDF file to the
clipboard.  (A software routine that I wound up having to type in manually.)
Is there some way to do this?  (Short of printing out the page, scanning it, and
doing OCR, I mean.)
