Using drag-and-drop to copy text

Instead of copying and pasting to and from the Clipboard, you can just drag the selected text from the PDF file open in an Acrobat window to a new document open in another program window. Figure how this method works.
PDF document open in the Acrobat program window on the right, I dragged the Select Text tool through the lines with the title and the first paragraph of text to select it. Then I dragged this text selection to the new document window open in Microsoft Word on the left by positioning the arrowhead mouse pointer (with the outline of the text selection) at the very beginning of the blank document.

This is really a great feature and work very fine and handy to use.I am using it from long and I want to add that even if the window is not placed side by side you just keep the mose pressed hover to minimized target window.On opening this release the mouse on window and it works.
