Hi rompietro,

Using the Viewer I would suggest the easiest way is to merely use the text selection tool to highlight the paragraphs you want and use the copy and paste to paste the text you want into a text document.

Note: This will only be available when working with text based PDFs, PDF files created from scanned documents, (image based) will not allow the selection of said text nor the ability to copy and paste out the text you want extracted.

If I can assist you further, please do get back to us.

Best,
Chris
