    Hi robertw,

    Can you please tell me more about how the PDF was created? (If you don't know, choose File > Properties, and look for the PDF Producer on the Description tab.)

    If the PDF was created by a third-party PDF creator, it may be that it's not well-written, and that can affect the quality of the conversion. See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.

    That said, you may be able to select the text by triple-clicking in the Word document.

    Please let us know how it goes.


    Best,

    Sara
