Hi,

To select text, you can 'tap-and-hold' on the text in the PDF and a context menu should pop-up with various options, including "Copy". Let me know if you tried that and it doesn't work for you.

Hey thanks a lot. It worked. Now I can make my notes without the headache
of typing everything again

It doesn't work with me, actually some of my short-text file just fine with copy-paste but the files in Japanese and long text nothing come out when I hold my finger on the screen. I need help!!
