In Acrobat-Reader, type the letter 'v' to switch to text-selection mode. Now you
can copy/paste as usual. Typing the letter 'h' returns to the 'hand mode' again.
Or click on the appropriate icons. :)

Note that PDF-documents can be saved in a way which disables the text-selection
mode. IN such a case, print it out, scan it in and use your favourite OCR
software. :)
