Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.

  • Can't copy and paste in illustrator

    For some reason, I can't copy and paste in Illustrator CC. Even choosing copy straight out of the edit menu doesn't work. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried closing out the program and reopening it, but it still doesn't work.

    I'm having the same problem, but I'm trying to copy between Illustrator and Photoshop. I've done all the usual fixes-trashed prefs in both AICC and PSCC, restarted the computer, even downloaded and installed the latest updates to both apps. Copy and paste works within AI and within PS, so it appears to be a problem with the clipboard, but only the clipboard as it serves those two apps. Copy and paste works fine for Pages, MS Word and everything else. What is a clipboard enhancement, and what does its presence or absence indicate? What would it be called? I'll check the Activity Monitor, see if I can find it, then zap the P-RAM. If that doesn't work I'll have to call CC help. Any ideas?

  • Can I copy and paste into word doc without losing formatting (ie., charts and columns, etc.)

    We were recently given the opportunity to have our office files scanned to searchable PDF.  Now that we have an opportunity to work with the PDFs, we are interested to know if we can take text and formatting of an existing document, copy and paste it into word for editing.  So far I have only been able to copy and paste the text, which I then have to reformat, space and enter into a chart, etc.  We are currently using Adobe Reader.  Is this a possibility if we upgrade or install a different program, such as, Adobe Acrobat?
    Thank you for any and all help!

    "Formattng" per se does not exist in PDF.

  • I send them to 50-200 people. Can I copy and paste their email addresses from a previously sent message?

    l

    Hi Sara,
    Thanks but that is not what i need. In my scenario i literally just need to copy all 200 email addresses from a previously sent file and paste them into the box saying "enter recipient email addresses" so that i can send the exact same people a new file. Without this feature this program is virtually useless to me now. Typing them in one at a time or choosing them one at a time from a list is not an option - i will only do this when i send out the first round of files and then i should be able to copy and past the email addresses to send out any added files that every person on the list will need. I just need to select, copy, paste, done. Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

    The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
    This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
    The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
    I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

    Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

  • I can't copy and paste.

    I recently updated my ipod generation 3 to ios 5.1 or something, and besides being kind of laggy, I can't copy and paste into different apps anymore. For example, I can copy and paste inside notes, but I can't, for example, copy a url from my notes and paste it into safari. Please Help! thanks!

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Can't copy and paste from InDesign to Illustrator

    Recently changed computers and now I dont seem to be able to copy an object from InDesign and paste into Illustrator. This used to work fine. Any ideas? Thanks

    In my experience, copying and pasting from ID to Illustrator can be quite temperamental -- it often takes a couple of attempts to get it to work, for no apparent reason.
    But I don't recall ever being unable to do so, after a few tries.

  • Photoshop CS3 & Outlook 2007 - Can't copy and Paste

    I've recently converted to win7 and office 2007.  Under vista and office 2003 I could select an embedded image in an email, copy it to the clipboard, and then do a file/new in photoshop and paste the image.  Every since going to vista and office 2007, this will not work.  I can select the image and copy it, but photoshop cannot paste it.  The paste command remains greyed out.
    I tried copy and past into Microsoft Paint and that works.  I tried copy and paste in Paint Shop Pro XI and that works.  I tried copy and paste from Paint Shop to photoshop and that works.  I just can't copy and paste from outlook 2007 to photoshop.
    Is this another "feature" from microsoft?

    I just made a quick test with Outlook 2007 and Photoshop CS5 64 and 32 bit on Windows7 64 bit.
    From the embedded images that I tried in Outlook there are 2 kinds of selections, one that works and another that doesn't. I'm not familiar at all with designing emails and don't even know what programs, scripting, programing, etc is used for creating and designing emails (I won't mind if someone enlightens me) but when I right click on a image and choose copy on some of the images appear selection handles similar to the transformation box in Photoshop and I can even move the handles in Outlook as if it is going to scale the images but it does nothing at the end. When I copy images with such selection handles they cannot be pasted in Photoshop where Paste menu is dimmed, but can be pasted in other programs like Microsoft Paint and even in other Adobe programs like Illustrator, Flash, and Dreamweaver, but not in InDesign where pasting produced an empty text box. Then if I copy the pasted image from any of these programs I can paste it without a problem in Photoshop.
    Now here's the trick, copy and paste works from Outlook to Photoshop if the image doesn't show these slection handlles when I right click and choose copy, but when it does, if I select it in a different way, like a text by dragging between before and end of image to highlight it, then right clicking and choosing copy works without a problem when pasting it in Photoshop.
    Have you tried reporting this issue to Adobe?  I have made feature requests in the forum for that on this site but I have never reported bugs and don't know what are the channels. If it hasn't been reported, I think they will be interested to know this issue.

  • Can I copy and paste a drop down list into another field?

    Can I copy and paste a drop down list into another field?

    You don't have to create a PDF, but it would be helpful to know what, exactly, you want to do with the ppt.
    You can export as a PDF which will keep vectors and text as PostScript (crisp) elements.
    You can also Save As from ppt in a variety of formats such as PNG or TIFF.
    These rasterize all the vectors and text, but are very useful if you're laying out a miniature gallery of the powerpoint presentation.
    However, if you want to make the InDesign file a replica of the ppt slides for print, PDF is probably the best way to go.
