Navigation to the rulebooks can be confusing but you start with Publications Library and go to rules information and then you will see available subcategories and baseball will be there. I could not paste that link.


The rule book and casebook can be downloaded to your computer but you can't copy and paste anything from them.

That is new this year. In the past you could copy and paste to your heart's content.

Oddly, some of the 2010 rule books for other sports still retain the full copy and paste functions. It makes me wonder if disabling the cut & paste functions for the baseball rule books was intentional or the accidental result of some random security setting when the books were posted.

I am able to copy and paste from my version.

Interesting. The above post wasn't the first one I've seen where someone said they could no longer copy from that PDF document.

I just went to the NFHS website and it wouldn't let me copy anything. Looking at the Adobe security settings, it's telling me the document cannot be copied, edited or printed.

Are you copying from this after dowloading it on your own computer or directly from the NFHS website?

[johnnyg08]

I am saving a copy to my files and it works from there. I have not tried it actually running it from the website.

Okay- one more question!

Are you talking about the latest 2010 rule book on the NFHS site?

I just downloaded it to my hard drive, opened that saved file with Adobe, and it still says the file is copy protected.

"...I just downloaded it to my hard drive, opened that saved file with Adobe, and it still says the file is copy protected."

I also did the same a couple of weeks ago and now have copies of the Fed 2010 Rule Book and Case Book on my hard drive for quick viewing. However, copying and pasting from those copies is not available as (I believe) software is in place to prevent that. Yes, it would have been nice to have those features so that I could easily cite a rule or case verbatim in a post.
