Just watched a video at DavesComputerTips.com Youtube channel called How To Take Snapshot Of A PDF. You can watch it here: youtu.be/gCgVo01cdgo
This video deals with using Adobe Acrobat, but I'm not a fan. I do like Foxit and I got curious and started clicking around to see if Foxit had a similar feature. And it does.

To do this Foxit PDF Reader, open up a PDF file and across the top menu click on
Then when you move your cursor over the document, it show as a cross or plus sign. Click, hold down and drag to highlight the section of the document that you want a snapshot of. In my example I'm using a recipe file that I recently had to print up for someone.
I'm going to highlight the ingredients list.
So I drag my selection square over the list, and then when I'm finish I release the mouse and it shows me the highlighted in a purple tint (at least on my monitor). Once I release the mouse I get a pop-up message telling me The selected area has been copied to the clipboard.
Click OK or check Do not show this message again, first. Your choice.
Now if I wanted just to print up that list, in my case, I would go to PhotoFiltre - right-click inside the empty window and click on Paste as new image. Now I have my snapshot from Foxit as an image in Photofiltre and all I have to do now is save it, print it, or whatever.

I also have SumatraPDF on my system. It's a very stripped down PDF reader with limited features, it doesn't have this snapshot option.
