how to copy different text selections from a pdf in adobe acrobat reader

Good day,

This maybe an easy question to answer, but I could not find it.  How do copy and paste different lines of text from a pdf in acrobat reader?  I do not want to copy the whole document nor is the text adjacent to each other.  The information to copy is scattered throughout the document.

One selection at a time. There is no option to make a multi-part selection.

As mentioned, this is not possible using the normal Text Selection tool. However, if you select the text using something like the Highlight tool a script can be used later on to extract the underlying texts and export them as a single block, which you could then copy to Word, for example.

Ok.  Is there a way to just highlight different parts like you would in excel?

Only with the Highlight commenting tool.
