    When you can't paste, and want to keep the original format (looks like an
    excerpt out of the book, directly, which for a book like yours sounds like a
    good idea), you can convert the PDF to PostScript (as in pdf2ps from
    Ghostscript); once you have the PostScript, you can make it an EPSI file
    (ps2epsi, you guessed it), and this on can be manipulated by a bunch of
    applications: you'll get a correctly sized box to manipulate, a b&w preview
    (that you can safely get rid off if you care for file size but not for the
    preview), yet it will print cleanly using the full resolution of your
    typesetter.
