People like to save document as PDF format since PDF is ideal for securing files thanks to its high level encryption standards and its non-editable characteristic. But for some reasons, users are very likely to copy contents, such as images, text and forms from a PDF file for further use. It is time-consuming to copy and paste text from PDF line by line or copy and paste images from PDF one by one. And, there is simply no need to make the task so troublesome.
Instead of the unhandy manual method, you can draw support from third-party tool to get easier way to copy and paste PDF contents. This article is specially written to tell you 2 of the most typical tools that enable you to extract text and images from PDF easily with some mouse clicks. One is using Adobe Acrobat and other is using economical software like Coolmuster PDF Converter Pro.
Way 1. Using Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Acrobat provides you with the selection tools to copy and paste the required content from PDF, including text, tables and images, without losing the formatting. Please note the tool only available on Adobe Acrobat Professional, except the free and basic version. (You can get here to learn more details about this method.)
1. Use Adobe Acrobat to open the PDF from which you want to copy text.
2. Navigate to the toolbar, find the arrow icon, click it and choose "Select Text" from the drop-down menu.
3. Select the text you want to copy and press the key "Ctrl+C".
4. Turn to a Microsoft Word document and press the key "Ctrl+V" to paste the copied text to the Word.
Way 2. Using Coolmuster PDF Converter Pro
Coolmuster PDF Converter Pro is the tool that helps users convert PDF files to editable documents like Word, ePub, Text, HTML, etc. Here we take converting PDF to Word as an example. Download and install it on your computer. Then, follow the guide below:
1. Launch the converter and import the target PDF files. You are allowed to upload several PDF files at once.
2. Choose the "PDF to Word" conversion type and select an output folder. Set page range to convert PDF partially if needed.
3. Click "Start" to launch the conversion.
Summary: Two tools are both simple. But I prefer the second way because Coolmuster PDF Converter Pro supports batch conversion, which saves time greatly. And the partial conversion mode is flexible enough. And above all, it is fat cheaper than Adobe Acrobat.
