I am using foxit PDF reader to view my text book. I would like to copy the text from the pdf file into a word document but it won't let me. I can select the text fine but the option to copy text is not available. I can copy text from other documents but not some. Is there a way to get around this protection in windows?
I see my answer doesn't work for you, so you have posted a bounty. If you post somewhere an example of such a pdf, I will have a look at it. – harrymc – 2012-07-15T10:04:22.850
@harrymc: Specifically, I was looking to copy the values from table 6.15 of http://acousticslab.org/papers/VassilakisP2001Dissertation.pdf
