I use V5 which has that function. As far as I am aware all versions ofI use Adobe 6 and if you highlight and right click the txt you want to copy,
you can select 'Copy to the clipboard' and the program will do it. Don't
believe any versions before 6 do it, though, so you may have to upgrade, but
then Adobe Reader is free.
I think finally Adobe realized how many people were pissed off at their lack
of a copy function and fixed it.
Enjoy
Reader are able to copy text or graphics to the clipboard. The OP
however has explained that, in this case, the file is protected from
such actions.
