To extract text from an Adobe document, highlight the "select text"
tool, select the text you want, press CTRL+C, open the program where
you want to save the text, press CTRL+V, and it will paste. Formats
usually don't hold well, but it works.

If it's a protected Acrobat page on display, you can use a screen
image capture program like Kleptomania, draw a rectangle around the
port you want that's on the screen, and copy it as an image to any
image software. Resolution is limited to screen resolution, but it's
good enough to OCR with if the text isn't too small. You can only
capture what's visible with most of these, and may wind up pasting the
parts together if the acrobat image is goes beyond the screen width or
height.
