Can I convert pdf documents into word just using adobe?

JohnMille — Tue, 29 May 2012 13:42:03 GMT

I'm writting my paper and need to extract some paragraph out of pdf materials, but the pdf can not be copied, so I need to convert them to word so that I can edit the text. They said pdf can be saved as word document using adobe so I don’t have to use another tool, but I have no idea how to operate it, there seems no a button to click to change the format? Anyone have the experience? Thanks so much!!

Belkin Tablet Stand With Storage

PC Mag Reviews the Belkin Tablet Stand With Storage

Author: Eugene Kim, PC Mag

Belkin has developed the Tablet Stand with Storage with education and ergonomics in mind. It not only provides comfortable positions for propping up and typing on tablets, but also gives students a small compartment for toting supplies from classroom to classroom.

The Belkin Tablet Stand with Storage is designed with gentle curves, sturdy plastic, and grippy rubber surfaces. It has a wide base and lip, suitable for larger tablets like the iPad, and a translucent storage compartment. The lip on the front allows you to prop tablets upright, which is useful for watching videos or browsing the Web, while the sloping top allows for a more reclined position, for typing or tasks that require a lot of touch input.

Who can help me to remove password protect from pdf

apple4hong4 — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 04:41:08 GMT

I am a student of University.I pay $85 for each of my ebooks and have my UoP password and username to open them.
The problem is that I want to move them to my kindle dx which does not support the password part of the pdf file.How can I remove the password protect from this file.Each page is password protected, but I only have to put in my password one time and it opens the whole ebook.However, on the kindle dx, the cursor does not go to the username or password box, so i can't open it on my kindle.I tried buying and using a PDF restrictions remover but all it does is say "Restrictions Removed" but the password protect is still on when I transfer it to the kindle.
Any suggestions of what product to use or what to do?
Pls help!!!
Thank you so much in advance.

Free Android App for Teachers

Kekabe — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:38:03 GMT

Married to a teacher, and a semi-teacher myself, I wanted to post about a useful app for Android. I saw a couple other posts about Android apps that are helpful to teachers, and wanted to contribute!

It's important to note that my wife and I created these, and simply want to spread the word to obtain feedback from other teachers. We're sincerely trying to make teacher's life easier!!!

Our best app to date is Teacher's Class Behavior. There's both a free and professional version. Some of the features include:

Tracking in real time of specific behaviors of specific students
Specify your exact behaviors, edit to both good and bad behaviors
Review daily logs of all recorded behaviors
E-mail yourself logs of recorded behaviors

If you're an Android user and want to see the app first hand please search for Teacher's Class Behavior on your device's (phone or tablet) Android Market.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Teacher Wikis

Mrs.ITRT — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 01:29:02 GMT

I’m an ITRT for four very different schools. I set out to teach my teachers how to create their own wiki page, to create a collaborative classroom for their students and make their instructional lives more productive. I learned some important lessons in this process. Lesson one, even though you see the importance in creating and utilizing a wiki for instructional use, you have to be creative and convincing in getting your teachers to embrace the idea of using a wiki for instructional and collaborative projects. Lesson two, have a check list for you teachers, providing as much guidance as necessary for them to quickly and easily begin using their wiki. Lesson three, provide them with a list of teacher wiki web sites that they can access to help guide them in their wiki layout design. As an ITRT, you can not only know and value the importance of the tech tool but you have to be a salesperson for the tool in order to get your teachers to embrace the tool.
