Copying an area as text
Video: How to Extract Text from Scanned PDFs
To copy an area of a PDF document as text, use one of two methods:
Method 1:
1. Use the mouse to draw a rectangle around the area that you want to copy.
The area that you mark up has to be confined to a single page.
2. Click the icon on the toolbar that appears next to the marked up area.
Alternatively, you can right-click the marked up area and then click Copy as Text on the
shortcut menu or press Ctrl+Shift+C on the keyboard.
