<p>A. A PDF file (the initials stand for Portable Document Format) can be=
 displayed and printed in full color with all of the fonts, pictures and =
graphics embedded within the document. Recipients do not need the origina=

ral ways to extract the text from a PDF file for use in another program. =
You may encounter problems trying to copy the text, however, if the file =
has been copy-protected by its creator or if the text you want is actuall=
y an image file instead of embedded text.</p><p>If you have the file open=
 in the Acrobat Reader program and have clicked on the Text Select Tool f=
rom the menu bar, you can usually drag the mouse over text and copy it wi=
th the standard keyboard or menu commands, and then paste it into your wo=
rd-processing program. Text arranged in columns within the PDF file may c=
ome in mixed together because the Text Select Tool reads horizontally acr=
oss the page, but you can drag the mouse around each column to select it =
in order by holding down the Control key in Windows or the Option key on =
the Macintosh.</p><p>If you have a large PDF file to copy, text-extractio=
n software can help automate the process. Web sites like PDF Zone (www.pd=
fzone.com) and the PDF Store (www.pdfstore .com) sell professional softwa=
re to harvest the text from PDF files, and shareware sites like Tucows (w=
ww.tucows.com) have smaller, less expensive programs that can also handle=
 the job. For those who own the full Adobe Acrobat program,  <a href=3D"/=
redirect/marketwatch/redirect.ctx?MW=3Dhttp://custom.marketwatch.com/cust=
om/nyt-com/html-companyprofile.asp&symb=3DADBE">Adobe Systems</a> has a p=
age on the topic in the technical support area of its Web site at www.ado=
be.com /support/techdocs/1c356.htm.</p><p>Q. I recently received an e-mai=
l message telling me that someone had sent me an "AOL Insta-Kiss," but th=
e link led to a Web site that did not seem as if it belonged to America O=
nline. Was ignoring the message the right thing to do? </p><p>A. Ignoring=
 the message was the right - and safe - thing to do. While America Online=
 once offered an "Insta-Kiss" service that allowed members to send romant=
ic greetings to one another, the concept has been taken over by hoaxers a=
nd identity thieves as a way of duping AOL members out of their passwords=
=2E </p><p>A perpetrator will send out messages to AOL members informing =
them that they are recipients of an electronic "Insta-Kiss" and providing=
 a link to a Web site. Once at the Web site (which is usually set up with=
 a domain name that sounds vaguely official but is often hosted by a free=
 Web site service, which gives the ruse away to the discerning user), the=
 AOL member is asked to type his or her screen name and password, which t=
he thief can record and use. </p><p>Some variations on the scam instruct =
the user to download a file to the computer; the downloaded program can s=
end personal information back to the intruder. The AOL Insta-Kiss hoax ha=
s been around for years but seems to be making waves again as Valentine's=
 Day approaches. </p><p>Other scams aimed directly at America Online user=
s include a "billing error" message that purports to be from AOL, asking =
the member to provide another credit card number for the company's record=
s; announcements of various contests to win prizes; and bogus AOL softwar=
e upgrades that actually download password-stealing programs on your comp=
uter. Official mail from AOL arrives as a blue envelope icon, and the mes=
sage itself is bordered in blue. The company's employees never ask member=
s for account or credit card information by e-mail or instant message.</p=
><p>Q. Why does the International Organization for Standardization use th=
e odd abbreviation "ISO" ?</p><p>A. The International Organization for St=
andardization, a group that defines and develops all sorts of technical a=
nd computer standards for use around the world, uses the Greek word "iso,=
" which translates to "equal to" or "the same as," as the unofficial shor=
thand for its name. </p><p>J. D. BIERSDORFER</p>
