Jim,

Do you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat?

If so, it comes with Distiller, which will convert the PostScript to PDF,
after which you can just use Acrobat to crop the image, and then copy and
paste into Word.

I do have Adobe Acrobat v7.0.9

Is cropping in Adobe file-size efficient?

Dunno, but I would not crop (out) sensitive material with Word.
Chances are very good it's still there in the file somewhere.


Which brings up an interesting point: Is there a way to purge all this
stuff in MS-Word?


I "print" it to PDF and I think that does the trick (except for the
meta information you can see in Acrobat). Office also has the Document
Image Writer for a fax-like bitmap (TIFF) image.

Here's some info on actually purging it from the Word file:

Hmm, looks like PDF conversion is the only way right now. Sad. They did
mention one product though:

This is a pretty brazen statement, especially for a bar association:
"... they won't be able to edit the file as you could in Word because
the file will be saved as an image." (when saved as PDF)

Oh man, has none of them ever edited an image? If you do it right nobody
would suspect anything from looking at it.
