155035 2003-06-25 10:20:00 Fergie, a prime reason documents are distributed in .pdf format is to prevent "originals" being edited.

If it has been created as a "selectable text" document pdf, you can copy the text by highlighting it and edit-copy. You can then paste it into a word document, or notepad, wordpad etc but you cannot edit it in the pdf document.

If the pdf document has been created "graphically" you cannot copy text, apart from highlighting sections as a "picture" and pasting the selection as a picture into another application.
