(OP)
I have an Adobe Acrobat file (.pdf) that is primary all text. However, when I tried to edit and/or copy sections I discovered the text is really composed as an object and I have to use the graphics tool to copy. I really want to copy as text. Is there a way to convert object to text?

At the simplest level, the text select button in the Adobe Reader toolbar works to select and copy text to the clipboard. I think this works for newer documents.
I've also seen docs where text could not be selected. These were "raster scans" of hard copy (old 1970s government manuals, etc.) then dumped into a .pdf
I've also seen a .pdf form that could actually be edited by entering text into the appropriate spots on the form.
