Hi Steve,


from $ man xpdf 2.01

 Text selection

       Dragging  the  mouse  with  the left button held down will
highlight an arbitrary rectangle.  Any text inside this rectangle will
be copied  to the X selection buffer.


Acrobat Reader 5.0.6 has a text copy selection tool button like a
capital T. but there is a bug, which does not highlight the text as you
drag over. But it will copy the text to the clipboard. 

There is a similar bug, which fouls up bookmark display at times - only
on Linux.

HTH,
Peter
