Due to the security features, compact size and compatibility on any computers, Portable Document Format (PDF) become a common document format for exchanging and transferring files nowadays. Especially, a variety of financial statements, budget Statistics and other data summary Excel spreadsheets are saved into PDF format after they finish editing. Sometimes the PDF files we received have some mistakes to revise, or we need to extract the data and reuse them to improve spreadsheets or calculate with formula. However, PDF editors like Adobe Acrobat is expensive and overcomplicated to use.

Most of the times when we need to make use of text, images, and tables from PDF, no matter we are Mac users or Windows users, we’ll probably resort to Copy and Paste method. However, though it is a free and convenient method, we still get into knots when doing it. From the perspective of a Mac user, I list some frequent asked questions about copy and paste from PDF on Mac.

FAQ about Copy and Paste from PDF on Mac

Q1: “Why is it that I cannot copy and paste from my PDF files?”

As we close out the month of June AKA "Backup Month", I thought it would be helpful to share some advice passed to to me from Scott Gardner of Optimac, Inc with regard to automating the office backup routine. Although the advice was specific to MacPractice (our office EMR), I've extended his advice to include all of the office applications.

1. Local backup:

Nowadays, iMac would be more applied in daily study or work, no longer just for entertainment. Consequently, the requirement for applications designed for Mac users would be increasing. However, the amount of applications in Mac is relatively small compared with that in Windows. For instance, Word and PDF are the most popular formats in Office work; we can easily bridge the gap in Windows, but hardly in Mac OS.

As it's nearly T-minus 5 hours until Jobs' keynote, the rumor mill is buzzing with a variety of predictions. Despite our excitement for today's announcements, here's a list of things we'd like to see arise as a *result* of WWDC:
1. iPad compatibility with EMR/EHR offerings. Perhaps EMR/EHR vendors haven't quite grasped the utility, applicability and ubiquity of iPads in healthcare. Sure you can VNC into your EMR/EHR with great products like iTeleport, but a "native" EMR/EHR "extension" is preferred

Most recently, there has been a great deal of “buzz” around Practice Fusion's EMR offering. Upon initial pass, it clearly has a very user-friendly environment with a fair amount of customization. Two glaring downsides, however are:
1. Lack of iPad/iPhone compatibility
2. No integration with voice recognition software, ala MacSpeech Dictate or, to the best of my knowledge, Dragon Naturally Speaking

"iPad is here." We get the exciting news from apple.com. iPad is amazing!Right? There is a trouble on iPad to my friend Jerry. How to transfer PDF to iPad?

I went to the Society of Interventional Radiology Meeting The other week and talked to the current editor of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology. It was interesting. They were discussing trying to move forward into a more digital realm. I did not realize the the publishers do pay the societies for the journal material.. They were interested in what I had to say, and quite surprised that I brought this topic to them as they started discussing it. They say they will stay in touch, so maybe I will get to participate in their ongoing discussion.

It seems I have shaken the tree at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR). My proposal to remove the DRM from the online version of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) has cause a considerable amount interest. As excitement has mounted there is concern as to how the publisher will perceive it. I think that there are enough people interested in freeing JVIR so all other physicians can read online for free such that we may need to present the proposal next year officially..
