This is why i love OSX.

Earlier this week i wanted to email 4 pages out of a PDF to my friend. I did not know how to do it so i tried something. I selected the couple of pages that i wanted to mail and dragged them into Mail. and it worked.

Do anyone know if this is possible on Linux/Windows? Definitely not without any 3rd party apps like i did it.

Things like this make my computer experience so much more fun!

Have anyone had simmilar "WOW!" experiences? (WOW is not World of Warcraft :))
 
Small things like this makes my iPhone the sweetest thing ever to me also.

One day I will own a Mac...for now the hackintosh will have to do.

You can do this with Acrobat Professional, not sure about Reader. My version is 4 years old, so this isn't new, but probably reserved for apps that let you edit PDF files. It is very useful, since I work with pdf files all the time. Obviously you're going to need a 3rd party app, because Windows has no built in PDF support, dunno about Linux.

ok, cool. will one be able to drag the pdf pages into a mail client and it will make a pdf file out of those as well? (not trying to be rude, i'm asking)

Now that i think about it. What do you mean when you say "this is possible with Acrobat Pro"?

Yes. You just open the 'Pages' sidebar and select which pages (you can ctrl- or shift-click for multiple pages) you want and drag them over. It makes an attachment like 'extracted pages.pdf'. I use Acrobat Professional, which is the commercial version, and which lets you do a lot more than the free Acrobat Reader, so I don't know if its possible using that.
