Answer 1

no you can't do that
Adobe is developed to prevent copying other's work
after i write a paper and i have to let others to read it, i often convert it into adobe file and send it to them so they cannot copy and paste and change it.

files that often have copy rights on them use this methed

Answer 2

You can copy and paste from a .pdf file to the clipboard. From there you can do whatever you want with the text. You can past it to Word, notepad or whatever you want.

You need to click on the Text Select Icon from the Adobe toolbar to be able to select text and then you can copy to clipboard.

In order to make changes to a pdf fle, you need the Standard or professional versions of Adobe Editing software. Not just the free Adobe reader.

Answer 3

You can usually copy text from a pdf file, but you cannot modify the file without very expensive Adobe software. There's a button somewhere to change the cursor to a text selection tool. Sometimes the text comes out funny, but it might be OK if the layout is simple.

Answer 4

No, unless you have Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard or Professional. That is their big selling point, for example, if I open any Adobe document I can edit fields or simply go to the toolbar and select convert to a MS Word Document.

Answer 5

In Acrobat, copy all the text you want and past it into MS word, then save as a .doc file. As for re-saving it as a .pdf, I have Office 2003, and it has an icon that'll let me do that. I'm not sure if you can with earlier versions or works.
