Are you using Reader or the full Acrobat product?

To cut a block of text in the Reader, you must first choose the text
selection tool, using the toolbar icon of a capital "T" next to a dotted
box. Then it's just cut and paste.

But if you are looking at a .pdf of a scan, which lazy authors use to put
old documents on-line, you have to use an OCR program. Omnipage has a
facility for doing this from the .pdf .
