A real shame you cant copy and paste text from a pdf file.


Will the full-featured Adobe Acrobat do that?

You can copy and paste TEXT from the pdf file. As mentioned the Kraus book
is scanned in the gif fromat and the text you are seeing is actual an image.
To get part of the text out of the gif that is in the pdf file , you have to
treat it as a picture and use the snapshot tool and cut out what you want to
paste into another documment.
What you have done is move part of an image file and not part of a text
file.

Atleast that is how it works with the Adobe Reader 7 and MS word.
