Q:

How do I copy from an Adobe (PDF) file to Word?

A:

For the current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader 7, available at [ http://shareware.unc.edu/software.html#a ] http://shareware.unc.edu, you can either right-click on the background and choose to let the Hand Tool Select Text, or you can choose the Select Tool from the menu bar.

After selecting the text, choose Copy from the Edit menu, and then you can Paste the copied text into an open Word document.

Warning

Because of the nature of PDF files, you will not always be able to copy and paste text from those documents.
