Birkman Report

[elainegrey]

So, through a process that may best be described as badgering, i managed to get our professional development folks to give me an electronic copy of my Birkman report. There are some interesting results i want to discuss with myself here, so i've tried cutting and pasting from the pdf. No go, it looks something like

I've used "strings" and found nothing useful in it. There's a "Save to text(accessible)" menu option in Adobe Acrobat, it looks like

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••H
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••H

You know, this is terribly annoying.

If you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat (not just the reader), you might be able to OCR the report and then it will be both searchable and you can select and copy text out of it.
