Word Count in Acrobat Reader Documents Thread poster: Andres Pacheco
|
|---|
Hi all,
I'm trying to get the word count for an Acrobat Reader document. PractiCount can do that, but the thing is that I need to count words for half of the document, not the whole thing.
I have not been able to split the document or to modify the number of pages in any way. Do I need any specific software or would it be possible for me to do it directly from Acrobat Reader?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Andrés

Perhaps there is a more sofisticated method, but I usually select/copy the text, paste it into Word and do the usual Word Count.

Hi, Andrés. Having no wordcount software, I proceed the same way!
Or I go to SAVE AS and save the document as .rtf, which is easier. I have the full version not the reader so I don't know whether you can do that.
Good luck.
Saludos,
Vale
