Now this may be "Dumb Question Of The Year" but some how, I now can't select text to copy from Adobe Reader....

The "selection" option is ticked but I've now got a cross hair and it just draws a marquee around what i'm tryiing to copy!

HELP!!

I dont think your allowed to copy from PDF's
Or maybe its just copyrighted, and the person who made it set it so you cant edit it without the password :S

Im halfway through it!

I've beem highlighting the text and copy and pasting to an html file but I've clicked something thats messed it up!

Just un installed it then re-installed it but no luck...

Ive looked at the document properties and copying is allowed...

Are you sure you have the Select Text Tool active ?

100% - there is a tick next to it but the cursor is a cross hair...

The only way I can get a crosshair to draw a box is when hovering over an image in the document.

So it means that you didn't kill everything?
