You cannot copy text from this file, because there is actually no text. The whole thing is just one big picture. I think you made it yourself by "print to PDF"? Maybe you can copy text direct from the E-Way web site instead. Overall it may be better to use the E Way tools to download to Excel.

There is no text to select. It is a image of a page.
