    Hi,

    Sorry for the OT question. I know how to copy, but I need to know what
    tools that will accept the image content copied from the acroread.

    >From acroread' manual:

    ,-----
    | To copy an image or text in image format using the Snapshot tool:
    | Select the Snapshot tool , and do one of the following:
    |
    | Click in the page to capture the content displayed on-screen.
    | Drag a box around the text, images, or a combination of both.
    | Drag a box within an image to copy just a portion of the image.
    |
    | Colors in the selected area are inverted momentarily to highlight
    | the selection. You can open a file in another application and
    | paste the copied selection directly into the target document.
    `-----

    The problem is that I'm yet to find this "another application" that will
    accept the image content copied from the acroread.

    My first guess is gimp, but it won't work. All that I got is the following
    in the log (no images shown):
