Which PDF readers allow blocking and cut-&-paste?
Also, which allow searching for text and phrases?
xpdf allows cut and paste. It feels funny because it is a pixel-wise block, but it works.
For searching, it might be enough to use pdftotext | grep <string> I don't know which other ones allow searching.
Ok, I take that back ... xpdf has a search button.
Acroread also does both. But it is non-free.

That's just it -- I cannot get acroread (v5) to block-cut-&-paste.
Yes, I know that it is possible to create PDF's without ability to do that; but, the *same* PDF's from which I can cut-&-paste in windoze, I _cannot_ cut-&-paste under debian. Is there something other than the text-select mode?
What do you think?
Are those PDF docs optimized for Acrobat 6 (as opposed to Acrobat 5)?
