Copying a Text Graphic

Hello,
I just picked up on a Flash project at work from our previous web designer who has since left the company and I know nothing about Flash so I am going to try my best to explain my problem.
The client has requested some information be added to one of the sections of the web page which would involve a vertical scroll bar because it can not all fit in the pre-determined area for text. It will be added under jobs. Under the legal section the text runs outside of the area and has a scroll bar effect applied to it. Can I copy the legal text graphic, delete the old jobs text graphic, place the job text in the copied legal text graphic and then name it as the like the original text graphic that I deleted and have it all work without any problems?
This might be a little bit hard to understand so I included a picture to show you maybe what I am talking about?
thanks
garrett

I am not clear on what you have in front of you, but if the text is a graphic of text, then you should be able to directly replace that graphic with a new graphic in whatever object is holding it.
If that section only holds text, you may find it is a textarea that has a scrollbar enabled for it, wherein the text is likely defined in the actionscript code (which means you could edit the text... a graphic isn't involved).
What I recommend is that you make a copy of the file so that an original is retained. Use the copy to experiment with making changes.

Acrobat 8 standard Copying of Text & Graphics doesn't work

I need to be able to copy and paste from my PDF files. Acrobat allows this - even when protected. Mine used to work fine now sometimes it works but most time it doesn't. I need to get this corrected as it's causing a lot of problems and wasting a lot of my time!
Please any and all help appreciated.
Windows, XP Pro, Did/didn't work with 8, 8.1, 8.3, uninstalled, repaired, reinstalled. Works for a while then won't

I did read your post (even if I am sick), but I did not read your information into your post. The word "my" I see as ones you created, but is often used by folks to just mean PDF files they have obtained. It is simply a reading and interpretation issue.
Anyway, if you have set no permissions, it should not be a problems. Maybe someone else has an answer. Otherwise I will have to wait until I get back to town and work to check out AA8.1.3 for the option you are mentioning.
Are you able to do a copy and paste yourself? Are the others using an earlier version of Reader or Acrobat. If it is the latter, you might want to use Reduce File size or PDF Optimize to save to an earlier version compatibility. The only thing that makes this step questionable is that you have it working with no security set. Anyway, it might be worth checking.
Sorry for the misreading of your post, but I did not interpret "my" as your creation. Bill

Copy and paste graphics and text in Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm a new user of Acrobat Pro and am trying to copy a combination of text and graphics from the top half of a page to the blank bottom half of the page. I've not had much success with what I thought would be a simple thing to do and would welcome suggestions. Here's a summary of the options I've tried so far for graphics, text, and both text and graphics.
A. Graphic Alone:
1. When I use the Select Object Tool, I can highlight the graphic but when I unclick the left mouse button, the highlighting disappears, so I can't copy the graphic.
2. When I use theTouchup Object Tool, only an oblong portion of the graphic is highlighted when I click on the object. The only way to highlight all of the graphic is to hold down the shift key and click on successive portions of the graphic until I have highlighted all of it. When I then right-click the mouse, I can copy the graphic. However, when I then place the mouse cursor in the bottom half of the page and do a righ-click paste, the graphic appears to be pasted on top of the original graphic. I can then drag the graphic to the bottom half of the page. I can also paste the object on to a blank page from Create PDF>Blank Page. Overall, this is not elegant nor intuitive, but it does work.
B. Text Alone:
1. I can copy the text but when it is pasted, it is not formatted like the orginal, nor can I place it where I want on the bottom half of the page. This is true whenther I use the basic copy function or the Touchup Text Tool.
2. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and click on the text, Acrobat places similarly-formatted text in a box that I can then right-click and copy. I can then paste the text on a blank page with the text formatted identical to the way it was on the original page. With several blocks of text formatted differently, this procedure could work but would require a lot of work to create a format with placement identical to the original.
C. Text and Graphics Together
1. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and attempt to highlight the top half of the page, the Tool insists on including the blank bottom half of the page in its selection. I can copy everything on the page but I haven't found a way to select just the objects in the top half of the page -- I can copy some, but the selected objects aren't highlighted and so this isn't a satisfactory route. It seems obvious to me that Touchup Object should be able to select just the objects I want. But then, even the Select Object Tool doesn't do that, either -- it Selects an object but then you can't do anything with the object.
2. Using the snapshot tool, I can highlight both graphics and text and copy them -- I can even export them them to another program via the clipboard and create an external file. However -- regardless of whether I just copy and paste, or do a Touchup Object file import, or whether the file is bitmap or jpg -- when I paste the resulting object or file onto a page in Acrobat, the image always comes out at 200% of its orginal size. I looked for a Resize option, but couldn't find one.
This is all very time-consuming and frustrating since what I am trying to do is not rocket science. Surely there is a simple way to do this.
By the way, there are no security restrictions on the file.

Hi,
In response to both "...is that normal?" — Yes.
PDF is not a file format meant to support editing of layout/format/etc or text content creation.
You'd master content in an authoring application (FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word, etc.).
The PDF file is the output of this mastered content.
Some minor touchups are possible with Acrobat (think whiteout/correction tape on a printed piece of paper -- PDF page content is the electronic "finished paper").
With that said, you might play with File > Create PDF > From Blank Page and use the Typewriter tool to enter text.
To output MS Word content to PDF use the Adobe PDFMaker.
Prior to Word 2007, you'd use "Adobe PDF" on the menu line.
With Word 2007, you'd use the Acrobat Ribbon features.
Be well...

HP PhotoSmart C309g Printer no longer prints Black Text, Graphics, etc

Hi:
We have an HP laptop.
We have an HP PhotoSmart All-In-One C309g Wireless printer/scanner/copier.
It has been working fine for a couple of years, until 2 days ago.
It will no longer print anything in black (colors and Photo Black work fine).
We have taken it apart...removed all ink cartridges, removed the cartridge caddy,
cleaned all electrodes, replaced the caddy, installed 5 (all) new cartridges,, etc.
We went through the process of removing the cartridges, caddy, shutting down,
removing the AC cord, waiting for several minutes, then doing the reverse process.
When we turn the printer on, it does its auto-check/install, and after about 4-5 minutes
tells us that the installation failed, the to press the OK button.
We went thorugh this process several times, and the installation failed every time.
In the past, installing printer cartridges, cleaning, calibrating...executed quickly.
The printer will not print anything that is Black, whether it me a print from Word, Notepad,
doing a direct copy from the glass, etc....both, with the laptop On or Off, but it will not
print anything in standard Black.
The colors and Photo Black print fine, but the regular Black does not.
The output from the other 4 cartridges are sharp, crisp, etc.
Anything... text, graphics, etc., in standard Black does not print.
Any ideas.
Thank you

A way to undo Formatted Text & Graphics OCR from Acrobat 7?

Over the course of a few months, my company received a large number of PDF files for a project for which the internal policy was that every file should be text searchable. Unfortunately, we did not save the native files in any sort of convenient way, having at that time not realized that failing to do so was a very bad idea. We ran OCR on every one of the files that we received, which total approximately 4,000. At the time that we received the majority of these files, my company was still using Acrobat 7; we've since upgraded to version 8.
Recently we discovered that there were discrepancies between our electronic copies and the hard copy printouts from which our electronic copies had been generated: in the electronic copies, uppercase F had changed to P, S had changed to 8, etc. We eventually worked out that it must have been that at some point a computer was mistakenly set to run OCR using the Formatted Text & Graphics setting, as opposed to either Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact). This was absolutely not want we wanted, as for our purposes using a type of OCR that causes the original images to change essentially renders the files useless. My questions, then, are the following:
1) As I asked in the title, is there any way of undoing Formatted Text & Graphics OCR that was performed in Acrobat 7?
2) Is there a way of identifying files that have had Formatted Tex & Graphics OCR performed on them (something stored in the metadata)?
Rebuilding these files from scratch is going to require a gargantuan effort, so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Bernd's been across the mountain and seen the bear; so, you can bank on what he posted.
But, just because, I'll second his "no".
Formatted Text and Graphics (Acrobat 7, 8) and ClearScan (Acrobat 9, X) effectively replace the image of textual characters.
If a character is not recognized as 'something' a bit map is of the thing is left behind.
Now, while Acrobat or other OCR engines (Abbey FineReader, AdLib, Adobe Capture, etc.) are really rather impressive no OCR engine has 100% accuracy 100% of the time. Other variables come into play (scan lamp age/brightness, platen cleanliness, scanner mechanicals cleanliness, calibration of scanner, hard copy 'quality' (characters' darkness density, contrast between characters and background, presence of lack thereof of boxed in text, text in or adjacent to line arcs/circles, etc.).
All of that is for semantic content that is "textual". Semantic content that is not textual (but, coincidently may contain text) provides little to no useful OCR output (e.g., graphs, drawings, etc.). Validate this by performing OCR on such a PDF then Export to a plain text file. Print this file out and compare that to the source paper or the scanned image.
There is no metadata info that identifies the OCR mode used.
Perhaps something buried in the bowls of PDF page description content; if so, not intrinsically easy to obtain.
My suggestion (fwiw) - move forward with re-scan.
A server product would help to move it along but a high speed scanner hooked to a local machine (with ample resources) and Acrobat Pro 8 or 9 get it done. With Acrobat 8 or 9 use Search Image (Exact). In Preferences check the category Create PDF or TIFF to assure it is what you desire. Check Acrobat's scan presets to assure you have what you want vis-a-vis Compression and Filtering. Do avoid "Automatic".

Copy and paste graphics to forum

I am new to the iPad and am looking for an app that will allow me to copy photos or graphics from my photo folder and paste them in forum posts. It's easy to compose a post, but I can't seem to figure any way to attach a photo or graphic to my post. I'd appreciate any help--thanks!

It's easy to paste. Just tap and hold down in the text field until until the magnifying glass comes up. You will then get the option to paste after you have copied something.
If you can copy the HTML code from PhotoBucket or a similar app, it is copied to the clipboard, so when you want to insert the graphic, just tap on the text area in which you are typing to bring up the blue insertion point and hold down until the option to paste comes up and then just paste line of the code.
When you view a photo in one of your albums in PhotoBucket, there is link icon (literally looks like chain links) at the top of the screen. Tap that icon and you get several different options. Tap and select "copy HTML code", come back to your post and then tap in the text field to bring up the option to paste, paste the code, and that should do it.
I figured out by experimenting. I just started at the top of all of the copy choices in PhotoBucket that were under the link icon. I then came back and set up a reply to one of my own posts, copied and then looked at it in preview until I found which option to use. Then I just discarded the experimental reply.
This is a test to make sure I'm giving you the correct info.

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books. Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.

Is there any way to prevent the copying of text from Presenter's Notes tab?

PowerPoint Notes Page text exposed on a Presenter Notes tab can be selected and copied from the Notes tab and then pasted into any text document. Is there any way to prevent the copying of text short of not providing notes text at all?

Hi Robingo,
Excel is strictly treated as a data source and Siena only imports the data in your tables, not the formatting.
If there is some business logic behind the formatting, you could mimic the same logic in Siena. For example, the font is bold or red if a value is in a certain range, the font is in italics if the data is for a specific customer, etc.
Thanks
Robin

Problem in copying a text item content in forms 10.1.2 to other application

Hi all,
I have just upgraded my Form server 6i in Windows 2003 to to Application server 10.1.2 in Linux.
In previos version Application Users Used to Copy some texts from other Applications like Windows NotePad or Client/server Version of Application to webforms text items or vice versa.
In Application 10g it doesnt work. whithin the webforms we can copy and past content of texts but within Applications It doesnt wirk at all.
we are running Forms 10.1.2 on Windows XP, using windows IE as the browser.
Does Forms 10.1.2 use its Own clipboard?
does anybody know any workaround to solve the problem?
thank you in advance.
Alireza

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your attention,
I Think it's not the certification mater, because in development environment I have Stand alone OC4j installed in Windows Xp witch uses the same version of Jinitiator and copy/paste functionality works fine.
Surprisingly when I connect to application server 10.1.2 witch is installed in Enterprise Linux from the same PC the functionality does not work.
I cheked windows clipbord before and after running the form application from and noticed that copy/paste mechanism of form doesnt effect windows clipbord ant it somehow uses a private clipboard within itself.
Any solution would highly be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Using browser javascript to copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Air app.

I have posted this question on reader forum as well, but I think it is more suited here...
I am trying to create a note-taking application in air. I want to extract selected text from pdf file as a string object or to the clipboard.
Obviously, all pdfs in my local storage will not be scripted to recieve postMessages and act accordingly, and that is not practical either. So, my problem is, how can I copy the selected text in the pdf file (opened as an object in htmlloader within my Air app) to clipboard or directly in another control by say clicking a button in air application? I suppose, this is possible using javascript, however, I don't know which reader methods are exposed to the wrapper htmlloader control. In short, I want to execute app.execMenuItem("Copy") command through htmlloader javascript. Any alternate solutions are also welcome.
This is similar to passing inbuilt commands/methods/functions (of adobe reader) to pdf-reader plugin embedded in a webpage via javascript. This is possible in IE where the pdf is rendered as activex object, and hence JSObject interface of pdf document/reader is accessible to the browser javascript. I have also read that this same JSObject is accessible to VB as interface for IAC, so as the Air is Adobe's own product, I was wondering if equivalent of JSObject is accessible to htmlloader control as well.
Thanks in advance...
Mits

Thank you Thom for your reply...
from
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
...Through JavaScript extensions, the viewer application and its plug-ins expose much of their functionality to document authors, form designers, and plug-in developers...
As it is explicitly mentioned, that the functionality of adobe reader are exposed for plugin development, I thought someone here might have used external javascript to execute some safe methods in adobe reader. The functionality (i.e. external javascript interface-JSObject) is already available for VB programmers to develop IAC. Further, the Acrobat SDK example called "AcroPDFinHML" shows how one can embed a pdf-reader in a html page and execute some safe methods (like gotonextpage(), zooming etc.) in IE as ActiveX plugin. I have checked it myself for adobe reader 9, and it works perfectly, so there is no security issue as such to implement the same for another browser (like in my case, the htmlloader control in flex/air app).
I intend to create a note taking application in air, where it is very much required that I should be able to copy selected text from various pdf documents, that are open in my app, and subsequently paste/collect/save the collected notes and process them afterwords (offcourse, from the pdfs that allow me copying text). However, it is not happening for me here. As the pdfs are opened through adobe reader plugin, it does not register the copy command executed by my air app. It registers the system level copy command (by keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C), but my air app has no way to execute the system level copy command programmatically. So I am kind of stuck here...
Thanks again for your reply. Having known what am I intend to accomplish, any other (may be alternative) solutions will be appreciated nonetheless...

How can I copy/paste text from one page to another?

I feel like I am taking crazy pills... is there really no way to copy a text box (or group) from one page to another while creating books in Aperture 3? Lets say I have my entire book laid out and I want to add one paragraph at the end on one page which will push text and photos down a half page or so... in most programs for the last decade or so they added really cool functionality... cut/paste... It seems like the apple developers are aware of it because they are in the context menus but they don't work on text, only photo boxes. Additionally, you can copy/paste text but it erases all formatting.
Seriously, am I missing something? I have trouble believing that they can't include this function.
Anyone else have this issue?

Update... it seems to only happen with text boxes which I create. So when I try an existing theme I can cut/copy/paste just fine, but in that same theme if you edit the layout and add a new text box, I can't copy paste it anywhere... the options are in the menu but nothing happens.
Thoughts? Solutions?
I am running 3.4.3 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.3

How to copy link text from links?

Currently when selecting a link, there is no easy option to copy link text. This feature should be implemented to be one of the options in the popup menu once a link is selected, alongside with "Open Link in New Tab"; "Copy Link"; !"Copy Link Text"!; "Share Link"; "Bookmark Link".
This menu option will provide a convenient way to browse through search results and other various links and will add to the efficiency of navigation of web pages.

Hi eva88, are you copying from a webpage or from the address bar? If you copy a link from a webpage, Gmail should pick up the HTML as is from the original. But when you copy from the address bar, you need to take the extra step of using the "link" button in Gmail. Due to changes in the Gmail UI, this may be harder to find, but for me, it appears when mousing over the lower part of the compose box. I've attached a series of screen shots showing where I see it.
