Hello. I have a PDF, which has a table. The table has tabs throughout it. Now, in older versions of Acrobat i used to be able to just select one line of a row - but now in acrobat 9, it doesnt give me that option. Its driving me crazy lol! So all i want is to be able to select a row of a table. Is there a way now? Or perhaps i should remove Acrobat 9 and down grade? thanks!

You don't mention what tool you're using to select the text (i.e., Hand tool or Text Select tool) but try holding down the Ctrl+Alt (Windows) keys with the Text Select tool. This will bring up a cross hatch cursor with a table icon that you can drag across the row to select.
