Microsoft Print to PDF - searchable text-retained result?
I don't use Print too PDF often. Mostly it's if I have a pdf and want to extract a subset of it into another pdf (I don't have paid Acrobat; just the free reader). But if I use it on a pdf (and, say, "print" page 2 or pages 4-7 or whatever, into a new pdf), the result is an image of a document, like scanning pages.
How can I start with a pdf, and end with a new pdf containing only the parts I want from the first pdf, and with the searchable text retained? I swear Print to PDF used to be configurable about the result file being a searchable pdf, or a scan/image, but I can't find such a switch now in using it.
I don't *HAVE* to accomplish this with Print to PDF of course. I'd like to not add more software to my computer, but if Print to PDF can't do what I want, what could be recommended for this purpose?
