Gentlemen, I have a pdf file (1.5MB) which I want to be able to block and copy text writing out of it, but it’s locked, preventing this. All I used to do was write it out by hand, or screen shot the text as an image.
Is there any software that opens pdf format for copying and pasting of the text?

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net mind sharing the PDF, to take a look? Some PDF containing text as images, which makes it more difficult to complete the task you want to perform.
