No, copying text from acrobat works fine, but it is with
images I am having problems with. After acrobat sends the image
selected to the clipboard (so it says), I can't find a way to paste that
image to any file. IIRC, when I used kubuntu (Hoary), I could select
an image in a pdf file from KPDF. Then I could right click on an empty
space in konqueror (file manager mode), and paste the selection as a
.png file.

Is there anything similar I can do from GNOME?
