Need Help - Pdf Newsletter and Emailbrain

[cspies]

Hi there!
I just started a subscription to a newsletter service that is sent to me in a pdf file. I am wondering how I copy and paste this into a newsletter templete on emailbrain? Emailbrain.com is a service that allows you to create newsletters and send them to 100's of customers as a single email so they don't end up as spam. It's super cheap and you just import your customer email list, set up the newsletter and send. You can also track who opened your email and who clicked on any links in your email. Okay, so, when I open my pdf file and copy it to the clipboard I then go over to my ebrain newletter builder page and the "paste" option is not available. I am so frustrated. I even tried to just save the pdf to my images library on my pc website so I could just direct people to my website and they could view it there but pc won't save the pdf either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I sent in a help ticket to emailbrain and one to the newsletter author but thought if someone else was already doing this I could get my newsletter out faster.
Thanks!
Chris

What newsletter service do you use? Are you sure that you can't get a Word option? Typically, you need to be able to edit the newsletter even though many also have a PDF option. As for the website, you can only save very small pictures. It would be lovely if we could do a whole pdf file. You should be able to select text and copy it from the pdf though. I do that all the time from the PC pdfs. Good luck!

You should be able to paste straight text clipped out of a PDF document, but I don't think you can do so with the images. You can select a portion of an image, and save it to the clipboard and then paste that into a graphics program, and then save ita s a jpg file... but depending on the image, you might be able to find it yourself (like if it is a PC image) and save it directly instead.

I'd definitely see if you can get a word or text version of that pdf from your newsletter provider. I have a few subscribers who use Constant Contact and they generally don't have a problem migrating the info over to CC from my email or word doc.
