Hello Jessie, I've just tried copying text from a PDF book and it worked like this. I have it set to single page continuous. I did nothing with the Text Tool. I interacted with the text and used VO-Return to start and stop selecting text. The passage I selected this way copied quite happily to the clipboard.
