You got the same answer then that you got here.

You were told it was probably an image of a page of text, you came back and said it was text and you were asked if you were sure - would you 1) check the size (images are bigger) and 2) try to select individual text with the selection tool. You didn't respond. |
Well Thanks Starson17 for making me feel like an idiot - didn't realize this wasn't a forum to express frustration. And clearly I asked the same question because obviously I didn't understand the answer the first time. |
Starson17's point was that there was not a definitive answer to you the "first time," because when asked for more information you apparently decided providing that additional information wasn't worth your time.
Folks here tried to help you and you snubbed them.

That is why I come to this board too. But when I am frustrated and ask for help I value the time folks put into working with me and solving a problem. I try and not waste other folks time and if they ask for information to help resolve a issue I brought up I am grateful and provide that information. I don't snub people in the process of assisting me by not responding to questions.

No one here has offered any offense to you, so I'm unsure why you are responding as if they did. Your opening line of your post in this thread though was offensive to the folks in the
previous thread who were trying to help you.

You implied that somehow the folks that tried to help you the first time you asked this question didn't give you the information you needed, when in fact you stopped participating in the attempt to provide you with a complete answer. The reason you never got a "good explanation" was because you left the attempt to provide you with a "good explanation."
I agree that Idolse' insight is most likely correct but if you want to know for sure and understand how to tell in the future you might want to consider the questions that Starson17 presented you.
