How do I copy text from a PDF (Acrobat) document?

If you want to copy text from a PDF file to add to a Word document, paste a formula into an Excel spreadsheet, or insert it into PowerPoint slides for a presentation, you can do it easily using the Copy and Paste feature.

However, this won't necessarily work for all PDF files due to security and other permissions. However, there are other ways you can accomplish the same task.

Before you can copy text from PDF to another application, you must confirm that there are no security settings that prohibit copying, otherwise you will not be able to copy anything. This may be indicated by a grayed out or dimmed copy function in Reader.
