Adobe Acrobat Reader
Finding Words
You can use the Find command to find a complete word or part of a word in the current PDF document. Acrobat Reader looks for the word by reading every word on every page in the file, including text in form fields.
To find a word using the Find command:
1. Click the Find button (Binoculars), or choose Edit > Find.
2. Enter the text to find in the text box.
3. Select search options if necessary:
Match Whole Word Only finds only occurrences of the complete word you enter in the box. For example, if you search for the word stick, the words tick and sticky will not be highlighted.
Match Case finds only words that contain exactly the same capitalization you enter in the box.
Find Backwards starts the search from the current page and goes backwards through the document.
4. Click Find. Acrobat Reader finds the next occurrence of the word.
To find the next occurrence of the word, Do one of the following:
Choose Edit > Find Again
Reopen the find dialog box, and click Find Again.
(The word must already be in the Find text box.)
Copying and pasting text and graphics to another application
You can select text or a graphic in a PDF document, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste it into another application such as a word processor. You can also paste text into a PDF document note or into a bookmark. Once the selected text or graphic is on the Clipboard, you can switch to another application and paste it into another document.
Note: If a font copied from a PDF document is not available on the system displaying the copied text, the font cannot be preserved. A default font is substituted.
To select and copy it to the clipboard:
1. Select the text tool T, and do one of the following:
To select a line of text, select the first letter of the sentence or phrase and drag to
the last letter.
To select multiple columns of text (horizontally), hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag across the width of the document.
To select a column of text (vertically), Hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Option+Command (Mac OS) as you drag the length of the document.
To select all the text on the page, choose Edit > Select All. In single page mode, all the text on the current page is selected. In Continuous or Continuous – facing mode, most of the text in the document is selected. When you release the mouse button, the selected text is highlighted. To deselect the text and start over, click anywhere outside the selected text.
The Select All command will not select all the text in the document. A workaround for this (Windows) is to use the Edit > Copy command. Choose Edit > Copy to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
2. To view the text, choose Window > Show Clipboard
In Windows 95, the Clipboard Viewer is not installed by default and you cannot use the Show Clipboard command until it is installed. To install the Clipboard Viewer, Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and then click the Windows Setup tab. Double-click Accessories, check Clipboard Viewer, and click OK.

SUP. ANTONOVICH, MAYOR: SUPERVISOR MOLINA?
SUP. MOLINA: THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR ANTONOVICH. IT'S INDEED MY HONOR THIS MORNING TO PRESENT A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION TO PASTOR J. M. GARCIA. THAT WAS A LOVELY INVOCATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE NEED SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE ON A REGULAR BASIS, THESE ARE THE DECISIONS WE MAKE. WE THANK YOU SO MUCH. PASTOR GARCIA LEADS A CONGREGATION AT WORD AFLAME MINISTRIES IN WHITTIER. THIS THRIVING CHURCH OFFERS A NUMBER OF CARING MINISTRIES FOR MANY PARISHIONERS, INCLUDING MUSIC AND WORSHIP, CADET AND MENTORING, AMONG MANY OTHERS. THEIR MANY GOOD WORKS INCLUDE COORDINATING EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCES AND CONTRIBUTING TO RELIEF EFFORTS ALL ACROSS THE WORLD. WE REALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND JOINING US TODAY AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A WONDERFUL INVOCATION. MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS. THANK YOU, PASTOR. [APPLAUSE.]
SUP. ANTONOVICH, MAYOR: MR. BEN HUBBARD IS FROM GLENDALE. AND AS I STATED, HE'S A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN LEGION GLENDALE POST NO. 127. HE SERVED IN WORLD WAR II WITH THE UNITED STATES NAVY, QUARTERMASTER THIRD CLASS, BETWEEN 1943 AND 1946 ABOARD THE U.S.S. STATION DE407 IN THE PACIFIC. HE IS RETIRED, SELF-EMPLOYED. HE IS A WIDOWER WITH TWO CHILDREN. HIS DAUGHTER IS WITH HIM TODAY. HE LIVED IN THE AREA FOR 44 YEARS, GRADUATED WESTERN UNIVERSITY, KENTUCKY. SO BEN, THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN. [APPLAUSE.] IF BEN WILL STAY HERE, TODAY IS DECEMBER 7, AND WE HAVE ROBERT SAXON WHO IS THE DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY VETERANS AFFAIRS AS WE RECOGNIZE NATIONAL PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY, STATE AND NATION. THIS MARKS THE 69TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNPROVOKED ATTACK OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL BASE AT PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII BY THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY. THE LOSSES SUFFERED SERVED AS A REMINDER TO ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS THAT FREEDOM IS NOT FREE AND FREEDOM COMES WITH A HEAVY PRICE AT MANY TIMES. SACRIFICE IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT REMEMBRANCE. AND IT IS FITTING THAT WE OBSERVE NATIONAL PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY AS A SOMBER OCCASION IN WHICH MORE THAN 2,400 MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES AND CIVILIANS PERISHED AS THE NATION WAS FORCED INTO WORLD WAR II. WE SET ASIDE THE DAY TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THOSE COURAGEOUS MEN AND WOMEN AT PEARL HARBOR, THEIR FAMILIES, THE SUBSEQUENT SACRIFICES OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR VICTORY TO ENSURE THAT THE PRICELESS GIFTS OF FREEDOM AND PEACE WOULD BE -- WE URGE ALL CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE IN CEREMONIES HONORING THOSE MEN AND WOMEN AND ALL FLAGS THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTY WILL NOW BE THROWN AT HALF MAST TO HONOR THOSE WHO DIED AS A RESULT OF THAT DAY. [APPLAUSE.] BEFORE WE PROCEED, WE HAVE A REQUEST FROM THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK ON S-1, SO WOULD GENEVIEVE CLAVREUL -- HAS ASKED TO SPEAK.
GENEVIEVE CLAVREUL: GOOD MORNING, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, DR. GENEVIEVE CLAVREUL. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK. I MUST SAY THAT I AM EXTREMELY DELIGHTED THAT THE TERM OF SUPERVISOR MOLINA IS OVER. AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL NOT CONTINUE IN THE TRADITION OF VIOLATING THE BROWN ACT RIGHT AND LEFT LIKE SHE DID DURING HER ENTIRE TENURE. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD AND I'M CELEBRATING TODAY. THANK YOU.
SUP. ANTONOVICH, MAYOR: SUPERVISOR MOLINA?
SUP. MOLINA: YOU KNOW, I TOO SO MUCH APPRECIATE GIVING UP MY CHAIRMANSHIP, HAVING TO LISTEN TO THE NAGGING OF GENEVIEVE CLAVREUL. YOU KNOW, SHE USED TO COMMAND OUR RESPECT. I DON'T MIND WHATEVER SHE SAYS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT SHE IS A CONSTANT NAG THAT CONTINUES NO MATTER WHAT TO BE DISRESPECTFUL. WE FOLLOW THE BROWN ACT EVERY SINGLE DAY. IF WE DIDN'T, WE'D HAVE LAWYERS HERE THAT WOULD TELL US WE'RE DOING. GENEVIEVE CLAIMS TO BE A DOCTOR BUT ALSO A LAWYER. I KNOW THAT SHE ENJOYS IN HER MIND ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE IS.
SUP. ANTONOVICH, MAYOR: LET ME FIRST SAY THAT BEFORE I'M GOING TO ASK GLORIA TO SPEAK, GLORIA HAS DONE A SUPERB JOB AS CHAIRMAN THIS PAST YEAR. WE APPRECIATE HER TENACITY AND PROFESSIONALISM IN CHAIRING THESE MEETINGS ALONG WITH THE OTHER MEETINGS THAT WE ARE INVOLVED WITH ALONG WITH THE OTHER COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES THAT WE SERVE ON THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY WHERE SHE HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. SO IT'S BEEN REALLY GOOD LEADERSHIP AND WE APPRECIATED HER LEADERSHIP AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE JOB WELL DONE. [APPLAUSE.]
SUP. MOLINA: MR. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS, VERY, FRANKLY, IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO SERVE IN THIS ROLE. IT IS THE LAST TIME I WILL BE CHAIRING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. YEAH, THERE'S CHEERS GOING ON. I WAS SWORN IN FOR MY LAST TERM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND I MUST SAY IT WAS A WONDERFUL MOMENT. I SHARED IT WITH MANY OF MY LONGTIME STAFF THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH. THEY, ON A REGULAR BASIS WORK VERY HARD, CHALLENGE ME, I CHALLENGE THEM. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THEY DO ON BEHALF OF ALL OF OUR COUNTY CONSTITUENTS AS WELL AS ALL OF THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES. YOU KNOW, THIS LAST YEAR, BASICALLY AS CHAIR, YOU REPRESENT THE COUNTY AND YOU CERTAINLY FACILITATE THE MEETINGS. AND I DO RUN A TIGHT SHIP, I GUESS. AND WE WORK AS HARD AS WE CAN TO MAKE THAT FACILITATION AS ACCOMMODATING AS POSSIBLE. BUT I THINK THE OTHER PARTS OF IT IS THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED TOGETHER IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WAS A REAL HIGHLIGHT FOR ME IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE COUNTY TO BEGIN A LONG AND FOREVER PROCESS OF GOING GREEN. THE BIT THAT WE HAVE DONE, AND SOME OF YOU HAVE NOTICED IN THE CAFETERIA, YOU'RE NO LONGER GETTING STYROFOAM. THAT'S A BIG MOVE AND A BIG PLUS. [APPLAUSE.] AND OF COURSE WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO ELIMINATE OUR PLASTIC BAGS. HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE REAL LEADERSHIP IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE THAT'S GOING TO FOLLOW OUR LEAD SO THAT WE CAN HAVE UNIFORMITY ACROSS THE STATE IN THE ELIMINATION OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, ENVIRONMENTALLY DANGEROUS PLASTIC BAGS THAT WE HAVE FLYING ALL OVER AND WE NEED TO START CHANGING HOW WE FUNCTION AND OPERATE EVERY SINGLE DAY. BUT THE OTHER PART OF IT THAT WAS REALLY WONDERFUL, AND I WENT TO THE OPENING OF OUR SORENSON LIBRARY, THE COUNTY IS NOW BUILDING GREEN BUILDINGS. AND THAT'S A VERY, VERY EXCITING THING. AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP THAT WE'RE TAKING THERE, WE'RE FINDING SAVINGS. WE'RE FINDING WAYS TO DO IT. AND I APPLAUD THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP IN ALL AREAS, ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS, ALL OF OUR FOLKS THAT ARE EMBRACING GOING GREEN, I THINK THAT'S BEEN TERRIFIC. I'VE ALSO BEEN VERY PROUD OF THE KIND OF WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IN RISK MANAGEMENT, WHETHER IT BE COST LITIGATION, WHETHER IT'S STRENGTHENING THE RISK MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT. BUT I GUESS MORE IMPORTANTLY IS REALLY THAT LERC THE SHOWCASE OF IT ALL. EVERY TIME WE REDUCE OUR LIABILITY, WE REDUCE OUR RISK, WE'RE SAVING TAXPAYER DOLLARS THAT ARE GOING INTO VALUED SERVICES. AND IT REALLY IS A RESPONSIBILITY THAT JUST DOESN'T BELONG TO THE RISK MANAGER OR THE DEPARTMENT HEAD. I THINK ALL OF US COLLECTIVELY HAVE TO RECOGNIZE AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ALL RISK MANAGERS AND CAN SAVE THOSE DOLLARS BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO DESPERATELY NEED THEM DOWN THE LINE. I'M ALSO VERY PROUD OF THE KIND OF EFFORTS THAT IN VERY, VERY TOUGH TIMES, AND MOST COUNTIES AREN'T AS, I DON'T WANT TO SAY GENEROUS, BUT AREN'T AS ACCOMMODATING WHEN IT COMES TO THE NEEDS OF HEALTHCARE. THIS COUNTY HAS BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN AND MANAGE AN ENTIRE AND COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH SYSTEM.
