2 Ways to Copy a PDF file to a Locked Word (Complete+Image)

Have you ever come across a PDF file whose contents can’t be copied? And so confused because the file can not be used.

PDF is a document format created in 1993 by Adobe Systems. The PDF type format is usually used to represent two-dimensional documents that include text, images, letters, and two-dimensional vector graphics.

But unfortunately, the writings and sentences contained in pdf files often cannot be copied and pasted for educational purposes, work, analysis, and so on. This is because most of the creators of pdf files want to patent their copyrights so that others cannot copy them.
