PDF application that can copy and paste

Hi, is there a PDF reader that I can use to read iBooks and then be able to copy and paste certain sections? I have PDF reader pro but it does not have the copy/paste feature and I'm not able to find anything else suitable. Please can you advise?

Thank you.

macbook air, Mac OS X (10.6.1), iPhone 3GS 16GB Black

I have GoodReader on my iPad. It's a great app but unfortunately will not let you copy a PDF page in its original format - you have to use the Text Reflow option, which extracts text from the page and then copy the entire page.

I too am looking for an App that will allow me to copy the actual page but so far have not been able to find one. If anyone knows of such an app, please do let us know...
