I have the full version at work and home, and I've done quite a bit of work with it.
There are a number of ways using the full version of acrobat to get text out of a pdf, but you end up losing most of the formatting. You can also save as an rtf file. This also loses a lot of the formatting, but at least it is a way to get the text out if there is a large document that you need to work with. Regardless, this still doesn't address the issue of why it won't print for some people. I saved the file as an acrobat 3.0 document, and it is 76KB. Not sure if this will help, but it may. For those that are having trouble printing, let me know and I can email you the file.
