OT - Using PDF reader programs
Right now I'm using Nitro Reader 3 and Adobe Acrobat Reader XI to read PDF files.
In Nitro Reader 3, I can use the "snapshot" tool to select a certain portion of a page in a PDF document to copy to the Nitro Reader 3 clipboard. Then I can open either Windows Paint or Adobe Photoshop, select New in the File menu, and then just press "Paste" in the Edit menu to copy the selected text or graphic from the PDF file into Paint or Photoshop. Is there any way I can do the same thing in Adobe Acrobat Reader XI? From what I see, it won't even let me select an area of a page to copy. So, with Acrobat Reader XI, if I want to send someone a 40 kilobyte diagram, I have to send the whole 37 megabyte PDF file that it's in, and then direct them to the correct page of that file. Which I find after careful consideration, is stupidity standing on stilts. Last edited by nestork : February 18th 14 at 05:43 AM |

Excessive noise from second floor toilet

Anyhow, what I meant to say was: 1. open the stud cavity on the lower floor where the vent stack is 2. cover the vent stack and the interior surfaces of the stud cavity with wall paper or masking tape just so that you can always revert to the original situation should you want/need to. (I never like to do anything that I know in advance is gonna be hard to undo.) 3. Use 3" drywall or deck screws to fasten 2X2 Spruce nailers to the offsetting studs. Those 2X2's will provide a nailing surface on each side of the stud cavity. 4. Put some wax paper over the stud cavity and drywall screw some plywood (a foot or two high) to the 2X2 nailers. Now fill the wall cavity up to the top of that plywood with expanding foam. Allow 24 hour for the foam to cure and cut off any excess that comes over the top of the plywood. Acetone easily dissolves uncured or cured expanding foam. You can buy the narrow plastic tubing that comes with the expanding foam caulk at any hardware store or home center, allowing you to inject the foam without having to maneuver the can into and out of the stud cavity. I don't think foam will work well, and may even transmit more noise. Greg |
