 past meetings - info, files, etc.
Turns out that I never had to deal with documents prepared this way. I evidently worked with .pdf files as "native" format files that were created as .pdf files...not IMAGES of .pdf files, or I OCR'd them first, if necessary. There are some tools that can be used to convert, if necessary. Adobe Acrobat should work, but here are some other links if you would like to investigate yourself I apologize to anyone I led astray.

Education Foundation for the From your Co-President
This year, as Co-President of SPCUG, I have dedicated my efforts to
finding and booking speakers and presenters that will bring fresh
and exciting programs and SIGS to our group. As always, we continue
to broaden our interests to include more technological-related
membership meetings.
My new BLOG, sequimtech at:
http://sequimtech.blogspot.com is updated often
and contains links to dozens of free programs for your PC and tips
and tricks for the PC user that may have some problem with their
hardware or software. BLOG posts are also linked to my Twitter site.
Our meetings include socializing, hands-on workshops, and demonstrations of software/hardware products. Special meetings – Special Interest Groups (SIGS) are also scheduled periodically. We welcome guests who may be interested in sharing computer experiences with us. Come to a meeting or two free of charge. Membership in SPCUG is $20.00 annually for the member and their immediate family. Although we primarily support PCs (IBM-compatible computers with the Windows/DOS operating systems), we also have members using Linux and Apple systems. Please join us to find out more about who we are and what we do.
If you’re not already a member, consider becoming one, so that you
can participate with other, like-minded people. Come and enjoy the
excitement and challenge of successfully using a computer system,
software, and ultimately sharing those experiences with others.

What is HTTPS?Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a secure version of the
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (http). HTTPS allows secure ecommerce transactions,
such as online banking.
When a user connects to a website via HTTPS, the website encrypts the session with a digital certificate. A user can tell if they are connected to a secure website if the website URL begins with https:// instead of http://. Suppose you visit a Web site to view their online catalog. When you're ready to order, you will be given a Web page order form with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that starts with https://. When you click "Send," to send the page back to the catalog retailer, your browser's HTTPS layer will encrypt it. The acknowledgement you receive from the server will also travel in encrypted form, arrive with an https:// URL, and be decrypted for you by your browser's HTTPS sublayer. ##
