It serves as a quick, makeshift data extraction solution that can be done on the spot and with nothing more than a couple of clicks of the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, if you\u2019ve ever done so, you may have come across issues when pasting the text into another application. The text can come out skewed, misformatted and distorted, or rendered illegible. This alone is a major reason why it\u2019s always recommended to convert PDF content completely instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, if you use<strong> <\/strong>Able2Extract Professional<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/prod_a2e.htm\"> <\/a>as your PDF viewer, you get the best of both worlds. You get to copy text from PDF content on a whole other level to ensure those issues don\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The secret? <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/prod_a2e.htm\">Able2Extract Professional<\/a><\/strong> converts your copied text to different text-based formats, so when you paste them into the corresponding file format, you get perfectly pasted text every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Copy Text from PDF with Able2Extract Professional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With your PDF open in Able2Extract Professional:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Select the text you want to copy.<\/li><li>Click on the <strong>Copy to Clipboard <\/strong>command.

Under the <strong>Clipboard Formats<\/strong> section, click on the checkbox beside your desired format to set it as a default.

A scanned PDF document is just an image of text that is generated by scanning in a paper document into a digital PDF.

A protected PDF file is one that is secured with a password, preventing unauthorized users from interacting with the PDF.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In either case, Able2Extract Professional can provide you with a way to work around that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Copy And Paste Text From Scanned PDF File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/articles\/ocrprogram\/\">OCR technology<\/a> in Able2Extract Professional, you can copy scanned PDF text as you would in a native, or electronically generated, PDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you draw a selection rectangle and click the Copy to Clipboard button, Able2Extract Professional will automatically detect if an active document is a scanned PDF and run Optical Character Recognition, allowing the text to be extracted from image-based PDFs as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can copy and paste text from a scanned PDF file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the file in Able2Extract Professional.<\/li><li>Draw a selection rectangle around the text you want to copy.<\/li><li>Click on the <strong>Copy to Clipboard <\/strong>command and wait for OCR to do its job.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/iwEDh6334ZWd08W-xEN7FHXauKiXizwFb_AzwNiUd2A-an8S1zm03RnQSndPfztJlxHg-s1-9AtsW6Hzgf1o65SCEykUM6F_ofn45sMxdZk_2ld2CZsyZ0oVRbH6zIkY4SKoiang\" alt=\"copy text from a scanned PDF with OCR\" width=\"800\" height=\"478\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li>Once the text has been copied, paste the text into your application of choice.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Copy Text From Secured PDF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a secured PDF, you can use Able2Extract Professional\u2019s <strong>Decrypt feature<\/strong> to unlock password-protected PDF documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this, <strong>you will need to have the password to the PDF<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To copy text from a protected PDF follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open your encrypted PDF in Able2Extract Professional.<\/li><li>In the dialog that appears, type in the PDF\u2019s password.
