Steps to copy text with formatting from a PDF:

  • In a PDF, you can use the Choose tool to select horizontal and vertical text, columns of text, photos, vector objects, and tables. The Select tool automatically changes the kind of information under the cursor based on what it recognises. To copy the selected text into another application, use the Copy, Copy with Formatting, Export Selection As, and Paste commands. Keep the following in mind:
  • If you can't choose text, it's possible that the text is part of an image. To convert picture text to selectable text in Acrobat, go to Tools > Scan & OCR > Recognize Text> In This File.
  • If the Cut, Copy, Copy with Formatting, and Paste commands aren't accessible when you choose text, it's possible that the PDF's creator has disabled text copying.
  • If the text you copy utilises a font that isn't installed on your computer, a close match or the default font will be used instead.
  • Select any amount of text on the page with the Select tool.
  • Copy the following text:
  • To copy the selected text to another application, go to Edit > Copy.
  • Select Copy with a right-click on the selected text.
  • Choose Copy With Formatting from the context menu when you right-click on the selected text.
  • Copies of text can be pasted into comments and bookmarks, as well as documents created in other programmes.
