That's not do-able with the free version of Reader! Also cannot be done if the document is locked and password protected!

Hi Tivo,
I'll try and help.
In Acrobat, there should be an edit menu, then select all, the copy and paste into Word or other word processing document.
You will need to do this for each page of text in the pdf file, as far as I can see. I have OS 8.1 and 9, so don't know if, in X, there wouldn't be an edit menu.

Hello Brandy,
I have Acrobat Reader 4, on my desktop, which was a free version, as are all Acrobat Reader downloads, no?, and I can copy and paste from a pdf to a word processing document.
If a pdf is locked and password protected - there's a reason for that - they don't want the contents fiddled with. I might be wrong, but I don't remember the original poster saying the pdf, they were referring to, was password protected and locked.
