In KPDF, you can select a rectangle with the right mouse button and then 
copy&paste its contents as text or image. (KPDF also has an option to ignore 
the DRM restrictions, in case the PDF doesn't actually want you to copy text 
out of it, though using that is probably illegal at least in the US under the 
DMCA.)
