Is there a way to select all text from every page within a PDF/Proof?

With Acrobat, we could use select all, Ctrl+A, to select all of the text and then paste it into a Word document to run a spell check. It wasn't perfect, but it was the best option for a spell check of PDFs since PDFs don't have that functionality for some reason. With WF Proof, we can only select all the text on a single page using the text tool within commenting to pull it into a comment and then copy that text. The workaround for now is to download the proof as a PDF, but depending on how file was uploaded, it might be all separate PDFs in a zip file instead of a compiled PDF. Thanks!

If you use Fusion some of the PDF Services tools may help. There is one to extract text and another to save a PDF as a document.
