I'm attempting to select text in a pdf and paste into a word document. I've done this before successfully but in this case the paste contains either all question marks rather than text, or nothing at all.I'm using Acrobat 6.0.1 proffessional.
Any advice?

Hi --

Your copied content either contains characters where the font information is damaged, which could cause the ??? you see, or segments of it aren't text but an image of text.

Try exporting the content using the RTF or Doc formats.
