Since it is a secure PDF, there is not an easy way to do this. Some options in order of simplicity:

 

1. Accept that you can't and just type what you need.

2. Ask the sender to send you an unsecured version you can copy/paste from.

3. Ask the sender for the password to allow you access to the file.

4. Print/Scan/OCR (Optical Character Recognition / image to text)  the document to allow you to extract the text you need.

5. Find a different program that does not respect the secure option and copy from there.

6. Do a web search for a site that will break the security on the PDF and give you an insecure version of the file back.
