--- Quote from: Sbrem on September 22, 2021, 11:24:52 AM ---I did have a fix from years ago, where I could open a file with a text editor, and if I remember correctly, I had some code that I could copy and paste into the header up to "bounding box". I do not know how to read or write code at all, but can copy and paste with the best of them. So, when I couldn't find "bounding box" I thought I'd try here to see what others might know. Thanks for digging in.

Again, let me restate that I do NOT own a MAC so it is very possible my view of file contents could be completely different from what I would see on a MAC.
But continuing on from the Windows point of view.
Good news and bad news. Notepad++ is open source (free) software available at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ and beats the pants off Notepad. Tons more options on Searching, Bulk Changes, etc. Use the "Open With" option on a right-click.
The good news: Supports copying and pasting with ease
The bad news: That file and many others often, but not always, contain either ASCII or EBCDIC code which is pretty much gobbledygook to us humans.
I suggest you download the Notepad++ so you have it in your bag of tricks even if not usable for this situation. Many times I've seen posts of files that are "thought" to be from one software application but browsing in Notepad++ exposes a completely different origination.
Hopefully something was useful here

I have attached your pdf. I opened it up in CS2 (2005). Do not ask me why i have CS2 available. Let me know if it does not open.

Did you use CS2 on MAC or PC?

I used an iMac 5,1 with os 10.6.8.

Ah
That goes with what I originally said as to my past work experiences from above:

You left me off the hook, thanks ;)
