Yep, Alt-Print-Screen takes the screen display and puts
it in the clipboard from which it can be pasted to any
image application for trimming, e.g Microsoft Paint.
OCR is of limited usefulness when graphics need to
accompany the text.

Cecil:

Very true, however, the graphics in question can be copied (such as with
your method), clipped, saved as an individual image (away from any
"text") and added/inserted to the text gleaned from using the OCR
program, allowing one to "recreate" the original document(s).

Not easy (or for the faint hearted), but can be done ...

OmniPage OCR software can recognize the text and also copy the
pictures/graphics and recreate the page and save in various formats.
It can work from scanned documents or graphics format files.

Snagit software can take snapshots of just about anything selected/cutout on
the screen and save/paste to about anything.

This book is a college text and engineering reference on antennas. A
pretty thorough theoretical treatment along with practical information
on antenna design.

Apparently the copyright has expired on these books, so they are not
pirated. I actually own a copy of the Kraus book, but it is attractive
to have a copy on my laptop.

The copyright on that edition was renewed in 13 November 1978
(Registration # RE-7-717, original reg# A47618), so it's still in
copyright (until 95 years after publication: year 2045). This isn't
particularly unusual, since it's a standard textbook, and the second
edition didn't come out until 1988, so the publisher would have made
sure the copyright was renewed, even if W8JK didn't.

If you will go up one level, you will find it has been

Too bad, but it is well worthwhile to obtain the new expanded 3rd
edition of "Antennas" which may still be in print. Mine is dated 2002.

The Kraus antenna book price plus shipping is less than $20.
There's no better bargain anywhere.

Obviously many were able to obtain the file before it was pulled.
Wonder if anyone on the list would mind emailing me the file as I
missed getting it?



Thanks in advance

The file is of little use as I ran finereader on it and because it was
put together in a "funky manner" as a .pdf, it is unable to be converted
into text and images ... I have a book, however, am reluctant to go
though all the trouble of scanning and converting it--just lazy :-(

If you don't get about a million emailings of it, let me know, I will
forward ...
