Hi budwar65,
welcome to the forums and thanks for the posy.
If a PDF is text based, not all are, then with the Viewer/Editor you can use the select tool to highlight the desired text and use copy/paste.
Alternatively PDF-Tools https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-tools has a function to convert a PDF to .txt which might be easier if there is a lot of text to 'export'.

Ok, "PDF to txt" function is in the PDF-Tools program which is part PDF-XChange Pro. I found the function now, I was searching in the PDF-XChange Editor.
Thanks
Thanks
