Mark,
I have a revission. there is only one text edit service in preview
under the preview menu in the services submenu. it is to open a text
edit window with the new selection of text from the pdf. so select
all the document, go to preview menu, go to services submenu, go to
open text edit window with selection and you might have what you
need. this is better than trying to paste from preview because you
should be able to get the whole document in properly this way.

Someone has sent me a PDF file they want to be able to read, but
cannot. I can open it with Preview, and I can interact with the
scroll area and VO will read page by page, but I cannot for the life
of me figure out how to convert the entire document to a text file.
I've looked in the menus, tool bar, and tried to read the help texts;
is there a way to render the text of the entire 27-page file into a
text file and send that back to him?
