I have a pdf document (http://www.win.tue.n...reudenthal3.pdf) and I want to copy and save the first paragraph. I see that the normal way of using Ctrl C and Ctrl V does not work. I assume it IS possible to do so with this pdf file, but HOW? Thanks.

FWIW, my pc uses W10.

These are scanned pages, i.e. images, not text. You would need to convert to text first. i would suspect you would be breaching copyright should you do so.
