Why does cut and paste text not work?

I have an editable PDF. I copy the text but there is nothing to let me paste it. No button, nothing on right click. Nothing.

@alison_0441 It sounds like the PDF file has security settings that have disabled the ability to copy text. This is a common practice for creators of PDFs who want to prevent unauthorized use, editing, or distribution of their content.
