Ed,

   Ah! That did the trick.

   I used to use xpdf, but it's a version or so behind Adobe, so I switched
to mupdf. That does a great job, but sometimes blocked text cannot be
transferred to another application. Acroread has useful capabilities that
help me when mupdf cannot.

   Okular is a KDE app which requires loading KDE (including the kitchen
sink), and I run Xfce so I'll stick with xpdf, mupdf, and acroread.

Much appreciated,
