Assuming your PDF is all text, not a scanned image and there are no security settings that do not allow copying text, you can use the TouchUp Text Tool in Acrobat and drag it over the area of text you wish to copy. Once you have the entire area highlighted, right click your mouse and choose Copy. Then open the program you wish to copy the text into and right click your mouse and choose Paste.
