Viewing PDF Files
Adobe Reader (previously known as Acrobat Reader) is freely distributed to allow anyone the ability to view and print PDF files. The Reader does not have the capability to create or edit PDF files. Otherwise, the interface looks similar to Acrobat and the navigation tools are the same.

Copy & Paste in PDF Files
Although you are not allowed to edit PDF documents with Adobe Reader, you can copy text, images, or a combination of text and images to your clipboard to paste into other documents, such as a Microsoft Word document or a Photoshop image.
Text
Use the Select tool to select the text you wish to copy and choose Edit ----> Copy.
If Cut & Copy options are unavailable, the author may have set restrictions against copying text. Also, if the document was not properly tagged, you may not be able to preserve formatting and/or you may end up copying unwanted content such as header/footer information

With the Select tool active, when you place your cursor over an image the pointer changes to a cross-hair. The Select tool is now in image selection mode.
