That's one of the reasons for using the PDF format on the web. If your PDF file you downloaded seems large, it may be that it was generated from a scanned image and if it was, you won't be able to copy the text with PDF Reader because it really is an image. You should be able to print the file directly from PDF Reader without going to the trouble of converting it, that's the point of the PDF format in the first place.
