Copying from PDF and I get what?

Copying from Adobe PDF "Deviation No.2 - Gas well oxygen" This is what I get:
uo8,{xo

Does anybody have an Idea what is happening?
Opened file with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Thanks

Yeah, that's the object code from the PDF. But without really knowing what you selected using what method and what document you downloaded, we can't realyl advise. This is more an Acrobat issue, anyway, and may indicate that the PDF has been created with a newer version and there is incompatible data or it is protected or something like that.

Copy and pasting - maintaining content integrity when copy from pdf and pasting to word doc

My firm is currently using an older version of Acrobat to transfer portions of medical report to a word document format. We are only taking select excerpts and not exporting the whole document. As of now, i copy and paste the needed piece to word but the integrity of the transfer is terrible. Many misspelled words, wrong spacing, characters replacing letter, etc...We are curious if this issue could be resolved by upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat. Thanks for your help!

If you could give the version of Acrobat and post some before and after screen shots it would help us understand the issue (yes, avoid any personal info). Was the original PDF created as a scan? If so, is it clearscan or searchable? There are many issues that are hard to comment on because we don't know how the PDF was produced or what has been done to it in the meantime. It may be that an upgrade would help, but not necessarily. If you have a spare machine available, you could always download and install the trial to see if it would resolve the issue -- I would not install the trial over your current version.

Font changes when copied from PDF to Word Docuemt

Hi ,
I have created a form which has text fields and static text and font style is Arial "10".In the preview i could see Someother fonts instead of Arial "10".
When i copied the text from PDF to Word document it is showing "Calibri (Body)" or "Myriad Pro". I need same font when i preview the form as well as when i copied from PDF to word.
I have created Custom component with Arial "10" even though in the preview i could see someother font.
What could be the reason ..
Thanks In advance.
Vjay

I can't think of why Acrobat/Reader wouldn't be displaying Arial. Try saving the form as pdf with Fonts Embedded in your Designer preferences.

I purchased tv shows from iTunes and keep getting a download error tap to retry.

I purchased tv shows from iTunes and keep getting a download error tap to retry. Why don't the shows download? What can I do?

Hello there Julfos,
I recommend this part of the article named iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725.
If you cannot complete the download on your device, you can finish the download in iTunes on your computer and then sync it to your device. For instructions, see the following articles:
iTunes Store: Where can I download and sync my purchases?
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Additional Information
If your purchase does not resume downloading after following the steps in this article, you can also try the following steps to troubleshoot the download issue.
Restart your computer or device.
Check for updates for your Mac or PC and install any software updates. Also, check for and install updates for any security software you may have (anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall, and so on).
If using Wi-Fi for Internet access, try using a different Wi-Fi network when downloading. If you are connecting to a home network, try restarting your Wi-Fi router. Also, check for and install any firmware updates for your Wi-Fi router. (Refer the manufacturer's website for your router to get information on updating its firmware).
If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend quitting all the apps running with this article, and trying again.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Perhaps even forgetting your home network and rejoining it.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Or resetting your network settings.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

Missing Functionality: Copy from orders and pick and pack functions

When I create a delivery note from the Sales A/R Delivery menu using the "Copy from" function and select two or more orders having different payment methods, system show me one delivery notes and alerts me that orders have two different payment terms.
If i do the same in the Pick and Pack selecting lines from different orders, system show me one delivery notes without alerts me that orders have two different payment terms.
This behavior is contradictory. The system should have same behaviour in the "Copy from" functionality and in Pick and Pack.

How can I copy text from PDF and include the source filename in the pasted selection?

I'm a biologist and frequently cut-and-paste notes from PDFs of scientific articles. I name all of the PDF articles with their PubMed ID, a short unique identifier (e.g. 19397482.pdf). When I take notes, I will select a few sentences from the PDF and then paste them into a text editor for later reference.
Can anyone suggest a method or script that would allow me to paste the copied text with the Pubmed filename included in a single action? I would want the pasted output it to look something like this, with the filename appended to the end:
Of the transcripts that were significantly different, there was a greater number of transcripts that were down-regulated in the IVC embryos (380) than the number of transcripts that were up-regulated (208). [20668257.pdf]
This would really help me to properly cite information sources during the writing process. I know there are bibliography managers that might be able to do something like this, but I prefer to read the PDF articles directly in Preview and select the text as I am reading.
Thanks very much for any suggestions / ideas.
jjw

To copy and paste in a single action:
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
    -- Get the PubMed ID:
    get the title of the front window
    set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
    -- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
    keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
    delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
    -- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
    set theNotes to the clipboard
    set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
end tell
tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
tell application "System Events"
    -- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
    key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓
    keystroke return & return
    keystroke "v" using {command down} -- ⌘V
end tell

Problems when i copy text from Pdf and paste on Word

In Pdf documente the text is in perfect conditions, but, when i copy the text and paste in WORD document the character change into random crazy character like: "()*"*&!(!*"(!"(!)"( )*"()!*("!&("@*")(!*@"!*@(
how i fix this??

I have the same problem when copying the PDF into a Word file. I tried Save as RTF doc. and it is still just symbols.
It could be a font problem, because it has some weird Gill Sans and Futura fonts. I am sending a picture as an example.
The option of exporting as Tiff and then applying OCR is interesting but still is kind of slow when i have a 100 pages document. If the fonts is the problem is there any way i could select the whole text and apply it a known font like Arial?
Thanks for any info!
Cheers,
Sebastian

How to read text from PDF and HTML

I have got solution to read text form .txt file but did'nt get code for PDF and HTML.
I dont want to convert PDF to txt.
Please help me ...

reading from a file is always the same. using the same strategy used for a .txt will allow you to read a .pdf file.
Offcourse in itself it will be useless becuase pdf files have a special internal structure.
html files are identical to txt files.
What are you trying to accomplisch with the files you are reading ?

Applescript or workflow to extract text from PDF and rename PDF with the results

Hi Everyone,
I get supplied hundreds of PDFs which each contain a stock code, but the PDFs themselves are not named consistantly, or they are supplied as multi-page PDFs.
What I need to do is name each PDF with the code which is in the text on the PDF.
It would work like this in an ideal world:
1. Split PDF into single pages
2. Extract text from PDF
3. Rename PDF using the extracted text
I'm struggling with part 3!
I can get a textfile with just the code (using a call to BBEDIT I'm extracting the code)
I did think about using a variable for the name, but the rename functions doesn't let me use variables.

Hello
You may also try the following applescript script, which is a wrapper of rubycocoa script. It will ask you choose source pdf files and destination directory. Then it will scan text of each page of pdf files for the predefined pattern and save the page as new pdf file with the name as extracted by the pattern in the destination directory. Those pages which do not contain string matching the pattern are ignored. (Ignored pages, if any, are reported in the result of script.)
Currently the regex pattern is set to:
/HB-.._[0-9]{6}/
which means HB- followed by two characters and _ and 6 digits.
Minimally tested under 10.6.8.
Hope this may help,

COPY from PDF-viewer

Hi. I tried copy some text from PDF file in Adobe Reader, or Foxit Reader, or PDF-Xchange Viewer. And always feature COPY was disabled.
Why ? On Windows 7 it works.

not sure how it's working from windows 7, what pdf reader are you using?
the document is protected from being copied, but looks like its allowed for accessibility copying - not sure what setting that would refer to though
