To display pdf document information:
Choose File > Document Info, and then choose a type of document info:
 General displays basic creation information about the PDF document.
 Font displays font usage information.
 Security displays the document’s security settings.

The Security option will tell you everything you need to know about
whether you can copy text and/or graphics from that particular file.
Look for the entry that says "Selecting Text or Graphics: Allowed", or
in your case it may say "Not Allowed".

The Security Information dialog box lists the security settings that
have been assigned to the selected PDF file. A PDF document author can
choose to restrict access to a file by requiring an open password or by
restricting the use of certain tools and commands. If a file requires an
open password, you must enter the password to view the file. When a file
has restricted access, any restricted tools and menu items are dimmed.
