Has to be a utility, not the highlight tool in Acrobat.

If you have, you can make a word processor document (I use Open Office) without border and select the entire pdf and import it. If it's protected you can probably only do this as a graphic, unless you have the password. If you've mislaid your password there are pdf password recovery tools.

Hope that is of some help.
