Even with Adobe Acrobat (the real program, not the "reader"),
I can only "Select All" and then copy it to the clipboard.
This is on Windows, of course. You'd have to delete a lot if
you're original PDF was a large file and you only needed a
small portion of it...

Can you do anything similar with xpdf ??
