I have that program and it doesn't work. I'd like to be able to cut and paste from word document some information into PDF file. Currently it's not letting me. :(

you have the full version?

are you working on someone elses document?  I.E. someone else created it?

If so, it's possible that they 'locked' it and you can't edit it.

Are you trying to paste text into a picture of text, rather than a text file?

Instead of going with Adobe's POS software, and paying out the rear for it, get the free version. Ghost Script will convert any Post Script file (usually stuff printed as a file) into PDF format. It ain't the greatest, but by Jove it does work!
