Use the Select tool to select text or columns of text in an Adobe PDF document. You can 
use the Copy and Paste commands to copy the selected text into another application. Note 
the following:

●     

You can specify in the General preferences that whenever the Hand tool is over text in an 
Adobe PDF document, it automatically functions as the Select tool. You can also 
determine whether text is selected before images, or images before text. (See 

.)

●     

If the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands are unavailable when you select text, the author of 
the PDF document may have set restrictions against copying text. (See 

●     

If a font copied from a PDF document is not available on the system displaying the copied 
text, the font cannot be preserved. The missing font is substituted.

●     

If the PDF document is tagged properly, you can use the Copy With Formatting 
command, which retains the document's multi-column layout, if any.

●     

In some situations, your selection may include unwanted text. For example, while 
selecting text that spans two pages, the text selection may include footer information if the 
document is not properly tagged.

●     

If the PDF document was created using a scanner, or if the text is part of an image, the 
text may be recognized as an image, not as characters that you can select. You may want 
to ask the creator of the PDF document to use the Paper Capture command in Adobe 
Acrobat so that text can be selected.

Select text by dragging from an insertion point to an end point or by dragging diagonally over 
text. 

1.  Select the Select tool 

, and do one of the following:

●     

Drag from the beginning to end of the text to be selected. (You can also click to create an 
insertion point, and Shift-click to create a second insertion point. The text between the two 
insertion points is selected.)

●     

Double-click to select a word.

●     

Triple-click to select a line of text.

●     

Click four times to select all the text in a page.

2.  If you want to extend the selection letter by letter, press Shift and an arrow key. To extend 

a selection word by word, press Shift+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Command (Mac OS) and 
an arrow key. 

You can revert to the Hand tool at any time by pressing Esc. You can switch to the Hand 
tool temporarily by holding down the space bar. If you hold the pointer over the text 
selection, a menu appears that lets you copy, highlight, or underline the text, among other 
options.

1.  Select the Select tool 

, and move the pointer towards the column of text. When the 

pointer changes to the Column-select icon 

, the Select tool is in column-select mode. 

To force column selection rather than text selection, press Ctrl (Windows) or Command 
(Mac OS).

2.  Do one of the following:

●     

Hold the pointer outside the text area so that the pointer changes to the Column icon 

, 

and drag a box over the block or column of text.

Ctrl+Alt-drag (Windows) or Command+Option-drag (Mac OS) a box over the block or 
column of text.

●     

To select text in more than one column, drag from the beginning of the text in one column 
to the end of text you want to select.

The sensitivity with which the Select tool changes from text-select mode to column-select 
mode is set in the General preferences.
