Hi Tttong,

Yes, it is possible to select a single word from the text in the PDF.

If you long press on a particular word, only that word gets selected.

If you are not able to select the word in that way, you may drag the selection to the single word or character from the selected text.

Take help of the steps mentioned under "Selecting text" in the following help document Adobe Reader Help for iOS: Annotating Pages.

Hope that helps.

Let us know if you experience any issue.
