Using Acrobat, have you tried using the TEXT SELECT or COLUMN SELECT tool
Options are shown as "T" in the menu as attached
I use this regularly to copy & paste selected areas of text from PDF files into MSWord

Hi folks

Is there an easy way to see what the text in a pdf is behind the image? For instance you might see 'tree' in the pdf, but copy and paste gives you a string of gibberish. (I'm sure I worked this out once, years ago but can't recreate it...)

Googling just gives me a pile of lame articles about 'hidden features in Preview' (usually er not so hidden in practice).
