Have you personally been able to do this? Because I've tried multiple methods and have been unsuccessful. I've gotten around similar issues on other sites (not for school, but for other purposes; like saving a picture or video) so it's not that I'm not aware of methods to get around the anti-save codes. I'm just saying Shmoop has been particularly problematic.

I took 3 of their courses when they had the special last year at $25 or $29/month, and in fact, those were the only courses available that were college credit. I don't think much has changed in the sense of website/extra codes. I just copied what I wanted, moved it to notepad, copied the whole thing from notepad to word and converted it to pdf. I did the extra step of going into notepad to get rid of junk.
Similarly, Straighterline has courses from Acrobatiq, there are no textbooks for those courses. I had to create a "searchable" text the same way as when I tried to copy/paste, it does so, but strangely into google docs or other word online. So, I just copied the text only into notepad and copy/pasted it into google docs or word online. Converted it to a searchable pdf as well for the topic exams.

Shmoop has some type of copy protection. It tends to overwrite things. I gave up trying to copy things. Maybe someone with more computer savvy might be able to do it.

I haven't tried copying/pasting anything, because it hasn't been an issue yet for this course. (I've finished 2 of 6 units and haven't had any trouble with the tests.) But have you tried, instead of a straight "paste," right-clicking and choosing "paste special" > "paste unformatted text"?

I take my copy comments back - I tried to print pages and text wrote upon text. I forgot.

You can copy/paste quizzes. They also provide the answers after a quiz-take. But the quizzes are quite simple (US History) versus the tests.

Yes, I'm discovering that the quizzes are virtually useless.
