How can I copy a pdf into Pages

I often get documents emailed to me in pdf format that I want to edit. On my Mac I can select text in the pdf and copy/paste into Word to make it an editable document. On my iPad I have Pages. Does anyone know of an app (preferable free or low cost) that will let me copy the text in a pdf so I can paste it into a Pages document to edit it? I've tried a couple of different pdf apps and most allow me to mark up the pdf but now seem to let me select and copy text.
Thanks,
David

You can search through these apps here - and maybe you already have seen them - but here are a bunch ....

I have not found a way to copy text at all from a pdf file on the iPad.

Hello Test Screen Name,
I am making no headway and am hoping that you can offer some help? This is my my code but I am copying the entire file each time. I would prefer to use the copyclipboard but cannot make that work either. I have read the sdk a lot but need an answer for this job before it is too late. If you could tell me copy ONE page at a time that would be great? Also how do I copy the page image as opposed to the text?
Private Sub Sample_Pages()

How can I copy a playlist into a pages or numbers document?

How can I copy a playlist into a pages or numbers document?

Open the Playlist.
File>Print.
In the Print settings, select Save as PDF
Open Pages and a new document
Open the PDF with Preview or Reader
Select ALL text in the PDF
Copy
Paste into the Pages document.
That's a long way to do it unless you know of a way to import PDFs into iWork.

How can I open a PDF into an iBooks folder other than PDF folder?

How can I open a PDF directly into a folder in iBooks other than the PDF folder? I have different folders made and am currently having to open into the PDF folder and then move to the correct folder. Can I open directly into the needed folder?

No, I don't think so. The pdf isn't capable of knowing which folder you would like it to open in – all it knows is that it is a pdf. It's up to you to put it in the appropariate folder.

How can I break a PDF into several PDFs of just a few pages?

I have a large pdf of about 30 pages broken into several pdf's of just a few pages each. How can I accomplish this?

Hi drn1234,
Bernd is right--you need Acrobat. If you don't have it, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
Best,

How can I combine multiple pdfs into one document?

I need to consolidate multiple docs into one. How do I do that?

It's pretty easy. Open multiple PDF documents in Apple Preview that came with your Mac. Choose View/Thumbnails so you can see the page thumbnail icons. Select any number (or all) of the page thumbnail icons of one document and drag them to any point in the thumbnails of another document.
For example you can drag page 6 of one PDF between pages 40 and 41 of another PDF doc. But it sounds like you want to select all pages of one PDF and drag them to the end of another PDF doc.
If you need more powerful document combining you can use PDFpen or Adobe Acrobat Professional, but they cost money.

Are you still using the US keyboard layout?
Pending a solution to restore the Character Picker, you can use the traditional option key shortcuts for many characters, e.g. option + e, then e produces é.
Plus you can use Edit > Special Characters to bring up the Character Viewer.

How do I copy a pdf into a word document.

I am trying to copy a pdf form that I got from the government and put it into a blank page in a word document. I thought I would be able to copy and paste but when I do it will only paste the 1st page of the pdf document and not the other 2 pages.

You might indicate what you are trying to do in the first place. Your workflow may be inappropriate and you are wasting your time. You did not indicate if the form is fillable or just a straight document that has place to fill in when you print. If it is fillable, then why would you want to convert it to WORD?

How can I export this pdf into a readable word?

Dear all,
I am trying to export the following pdf document into a word document :
However, here is what I get: Db bte earf>eltung ber rf enntniff e, bie aum mernunf tgef d)de g ören, ben fid)eren @ang einer iff enfd)a gee ober nid)t, baß läßt fid) f>alb au bem @rfolg beurteilen. etc.
Instead of: Ob die Bearbeitung der Erkenntnisse, die zum Vernunftgeschäft gehören, etc…
Does anyone know how I could solve this issue?
Thank you very much in advance,
Pierre

Have you started with a scanned document and then trying to go to DOCX. If so, you may have OCR set on the document before the export and it may be that the OCR can not recognize the fonts. However, the recognition appears to be based on typical block characters and I might interpret them the same way. You can try to change the primary language to German in the OCR, but that will likely not do the job. I suspect what you need is something that recognized old-German as this document appears to be (if I got the language wrong, I apologize). I am not sure Acrobat is up to the task on the type style, but is comparing to standard block characters. Some of the dedicated OCR packages might be able to do a better job.

How can I copy text spanning multiple pages in iBook?

I like to drop sections of text from i
books into letters, journal entries etc and for the life of me I cannot figure out the functionality of grabbing text that spans multiple pages.

Hi James,
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. You actually solved the problem. I am able to select as much text as I want now. The bummer is the lame feature where you cannot take more than a couple hundred words at a time. The section I wanted was about one and a half pages and it took me 3 separate copy pastes to get it all. Does anyone know of software or a trick to overcome this limitation?
James thanks again. I really appreciate your help.
