Do cmd+a to select all of the text of the document..

Then cmd+c to copy it into the clipboard as text, including any page numbering 
present.

Then paste the clipboard into textedit where the part wanted can be extracted.

I also suggest trying the free pdf viewer skim to compare with preview, it is 
designed for academic papers.  The above steps would be the
same.  Here is the download page:
