Depending on how the PDF was created it's usually possible to copy text in paste it somewhere else.

My operating system is Ubuntu 14.04 at the moment (I'm planning to switch to ArchLinux, that's why I didn't bother to install a newer Ubuntu). I tested this with LibreOffice 5.2.6.2. I have a couple of other versions of LibreOffice installed as well, so maybe I could test with your version as well, if you tell me which one it is.
