i need a software which can create a PDF from browser and resultant PDF TEXT can be copied to other text editor Eg.notepad

normally pdf creator [which work as virtual printer] create pdf which take screenshot of the screen and create a PDF but i need a s/w which give me an option to copy text from created pdf

EDIT: i dont need a PDF editor nor i need a s/w to insert additional text

Software like pdf creator dont take screenshots, they print the file to pdf -so if the content is text, you will be able to select text from the opened pdf for copying to notepad...

I have been using virtual printers for quite some time and they allow me to select text from pdf also. BTW I use primo pdf for my purpose.
