  Theres a text selection tool on the top, just select that and you can highlight and copy text from the pdf file

  If you can't get the select tool to select, search Google for the PDF file. Now, instead of clicking on the link, click View as HTML. It allows you to select whatever text you like.
  
  It's also safer this way, to prevent some malicious files on your PC.
