How can a section of PDF text be copied and pasted into a Microsoft Word doc? The only method I can think of is printing the PDF, scanning it into Abby FineReader and converting it to Word or Notepad, this is a time consuming excercise- I'm sure I'm missing something!

Google has a feature to transform the text of a pdf file in html format. But this works only for the indexed pdf files on a google search..
try to search for the name of your pdf in google and you can be lucky..
I have not heard of some other program to do that, but since google can do it, there must be something!
good luck!

Right click in the .pdf file and select "allow pointer to select text". You can then mouse drag over the portion you want to copy and use CNTRL+C to copy text. Then go to your word doc and use CNTRL+V to paste the text.

by default when you open a PDF you've got the little hand as your cursor...well up top theres a select button that will give you an actual cursor and let you select text
then just ctrl-c
