No, only on PDFs that contain real text; scans need OCR.
Get the text out of a PDF
Copying from a PDF page by page is slow and often scrambles line breaks. This tool reads the text layer of every page and saves it as a plain text file you can search, edit or paste anywhere.
It works on PDFs made from documents, exports and web pages. A scanned PDF is just a picture of text, so there is nothing to extract from it without OCR.
