I'd like to have an editable version of the 'Print' option

When DMing I generally like the default statblock that Herolab outputs. However, I'd like to be able to edit that output before I print it, either to be able to fit the statblock onto one sheet, or to clarify sometimes unclear abilities or whatever.

However, when I select the Plain Text option bolding and italics are lost. I guess I'd like an option to save in Rich Text.

In the meanwhile, is there any way to get the 'Print' output (the one with bolding and italics) into an editable file format? No, I don't have Acrobat, so no way to edit the PDF that can be written with the 'Print' option, unfortunately. is there any other way to get that output into an editable format?
 
There is the Custom Output option, but it requires some understanding of XML or XSLT. I know that in the past, I've occasionally been able to copy and paste the contents of a PDF file into Word, but I don't know if the character sheet PDFs support that.
 
You can use the custom output option to copy the stat blocks into a word processing program and make edits from there if you need to. I frequently do this with my data when doing custom work for raiders and other Athasian threats my players face on a weekly basis.
