Need Help with Copying Text from PDF to Notepad or Emails

Hello Community,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing an issue that has been quite frustrating, and I'm hoping someone here might have a solution. I can't seem to copy text from PDF documents and paste it into Notepad or emails.

Here's a bit more detail on the problem:

Problem Description: Whenever I try to select and copy text from a PDF file, it appears that the standard copy-paste function doesn't work as expected. I can select the text in the PDF, but when I right-click and choose "Copy" or use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + C), it doesn't copy the text. Consequently, when I try to paste it into Notepad, an email, or any other text editor, nothing gets pasted. This issue is causing a lot of inconvenience, especially when I need to extract information from PDFs for various purposes.

I've Tried restarting my computer. Also updated Adobe Reader to the latest version.
If anyone has encountered this issue before or has any insights on how to resolve it, please share your thoughts and solutions. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
