I d'loaded the file (maybe 2mbytes) and searched using acroread. nada. I used the pdftotext utility. same: nothing but some 600 page numbers. my guess is that google just took photos of the book and used other tools to create a pdf file. I am not =that= serious about genealogy, but I would like to know if there are any tools to edit this kind of pdf file. tia guys, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-six years of service to the Unix community.
