Need Just a Section or Table from a PDF?

You may need a report appendix or a few passages rather than the entire document.

Copying one passage at a time
Repeated selection and pasting slow down collecting material for a draft or reference note.
Tables that paste as text
Copied values can lose their column headings and leave you rebuilding the table.
Useful content on selected pages
The material you need may be only a small part of a longer report or manual.
