How to make pdf file ediatble

Hi,
I have received some pdf files. I can view them on my machine but I am not able to select any text and copy it from file.
Is there a tool to make text in file editable?

Thanks

Why Java?

Sorry mate, it was picked up as default topic. I raise a query on java earlier.
pdf supports DRM so that's the reason for your problem probably
The best thing is to ask for the right kind of copy from the author
Look at the title when opening the document in your reader. If it says SECURED then the document was saved with copy/print options disabled. Possibly using a password, but most of the times the password is empty.

If you're sure you have the right to access that content, google will help you find software that can remove that restriction.

HTH,
Dan
