I'm a tad confused. Please explain what you are trying to do. You appear to have the text in an Open Office document, so why not edit it there and then recreate the pdf from that source?

The more we know the better we may advise as opposed to guessing your intent, thanks

PS In Adobe Reader X you can highlight an image Ctrl+C and send it to the clipboard. Its resolution will be determined by the pdf settings of course.

Maybe something like Nitro might work?

You'd need Acrobat pro otherwise. By the by, you mention locked, but you can copy. Do you mean you can copy the file? Is there a security setting? Usually security is designed to stop people extracting, to use the correct term, data from a pdf.

and it would, in my view, appear that there was a disconnect between the Honorary Consul and Bangkok.

The guy was chained up, starving and abandoned. I bet there wouldn't be any "disconnect" if embassy staff were organizing a party!

To be clear, my point in the full post was that according to Mr. Drummond's earlier articles, there was attempted contact, by his landlord, with both the Honorary Consul and the Embassy. Did an accurate description, or briefing get through to the Embassy, we, including I, don't know. This is an extremely disturbing case, credit must go to Tracy Cosgrove for pushing for his release and transfer to hospital.

I would be happier to hear that there would be an investigation as to how a British Citizen was so dramatically failed by the Consular system.

PS There's no suggestion that Mr. Hewitt was so described by anyone at the Embassy.
