Am I right in think that if I download the 'basic' Acrobat reader I can cut and paste from PDF documents?

http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/?promoid=BUIGO

I have the full Acrobat 8 pro on my laptop but want the ability on my desktop to cut and paste.

Thanks in advance.

Yes.
But only if the document is so enabled (i.e. not protected/encrypted).

And assuming that it's actually text and not a scanned-in image.

No need for the 'BUIGO promo code' either, simply type 'adobe.com' into your browser address-bar and it'll take you to Adobe's front page where there is a link to the latest version anyway.
