You _can_ select text and pictures out of a pdf file with the text selection tool in the acroreader, but that unluckily only seems to work with pdfs from Adobe Distiller, not with those I get from the 'print to pdf' command in the File menu of e.g. kword.

It works for me using SO print to ps and then ps2pdf (not nearly as convenient as KDE print to pdf of course) and then viewing with xpdf. What your seeing could either be a font problem or to do with the configuration options for the pdf creation in KDE. Jethro
