When I opened it in Acrobat Reader I couldn't copy.
The document properties in Acrobat shows
Content Copying: Not allowed
Content Copying for Accessibility: Allowed
Apparently, different viewers interpret these properties
differently, since (as others have reported) it can be copied
from it when it is opened in Safari using whatever (non-Adobe)
PDF plugin I have, and likewise for Preview or in a little app
called PDFview.
Since it can be copied from using Evince in linux, I guess
the solution isn't necessarily "Get a Mac".
Something else that would work is to run it through an OCR
program, most of these can now be used with any PDF that
can be opened.
You're right, that doc is protected. If you can't talk them into
sending you one that isn't, you may be forced to ocr.
