You can go through this thread:

Hope it helps else there is one workaround “You can use google chrome to open the pdf then use Data Scraping to do that”.
There is one more way you can do that but lets try these first.

There is no direct activity to do that. Only shortcut to do that open it in Chrome then use “Data Scraping” or change the adobe reader version accordingly go through the previous thread.
