Elements 12 Copy + Paste Intermittent

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it.
I use Elements 12 on a near enough daily basis, and often have to copy images from PDF files to resize them / crop them. Usually I just right click the image in Adobe Reader and then go to "File > New > Image from Clipboard" this usually works fine, but generally after the first image I copy, it will start causing problems. It will either create a new image using the PREVIOUS image I asked it to copy, or the option will simply be greyed out and I can't create them image. THe only way around seems to be copying the new image several times, and usually after the 2nd try it will work as intended. I have also found that after I downloaded the clipboard exe for Windows, the new image will be in the clipboard, and once I've checked that it's in the clipboard, Photoshop will be fine and work as intended. This makes me think it's something to do with Elements as I don't have copy/paste issues anywhere else etc.
I've tried a registry fix I found for CS5 - create a DWORD named "alwayscheckclipboard" or something similar, but that hasn't fixed it.
Any help getting this feature working would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Running Elements 12.1 x32 - Win7 Pro x64

Generally speaking it's for speed - basically I'm taking content to update for our website from a PDF, so if an image needs updating I just take it directly from the PDF and paste it into Elements to resize or crop as I need to.
It's one of those issues where it isn't stopping me from what I need to do, just delaying it a bit

  • Elements 11,  copy paste is feathered

    When I copy paste from one picture or even on the same picture the paste is feathered and almost translucent. This just started to happen to me in the last few days so im thinking i may of hit a button? I checked to make sure my anti-aliasing was not ckec. Im truly stumped.

    The first thing you need to do is to reset all your tool by launching the PSE editor, create a blank image and then look for something like in this picture at the bottom-right corner:
    Click on the arrow button marked in the picture and select reset all tool.
    Close the application and then try again to see if the problem has gone away.
    Post back for another reset functions if the above doesn't work.

  • Is Copy Paste Pans & Zooms Possible in Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor Slideshow?

    In the Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor, someone wants to create a unique pan and zoom effect for one photo and be able to apply it the the rest of the photos in the Filmstrip without having to do that on an individual photo basis.
    In the Slide Show Editor, Edit Menu/Apply Pan & Zoom to All Slides or Apply Pan & Zoom to Selected Slide(s) does not get the job done. Instead it looks like it just applies the default Photoshop Elements pan and zoom. I have investigated several routes to the goal unsuccesful and have concluded that Photoshop Elements Slide Show Editor offers no such copy paste pans & zoom feature.
    I have detailed how to add more than one pan & zoom per slide, how to get the pan & zoom copy/paste job done in Premiere Elements, either doing all the pan & zoom in Premiere Elements or creating the pan & zoom in Photoshop Elements for one slide, using Send to Premiere Elements, Break Apart Adobe Photoshop Elements Slideshow, copy/paste of the transferred pan & zoom. Believe it or not, that does work. I know that there will be skeptics who feel that the pan & zoom timing would be distored, but....This person does not have or want Premiere Elements in the equation. So, I am looking for a way out for her.
    I am posting the question here for someone to confirm my conclusion or offer a way that has escaped me. If someone has found a way, he/she will be fully created for the contribution and thanked.

  • Copy/paste functions only work intermittently.

    Windows 8; FF 26 -- not working: cut & paste -- not always. I've noticed that copy is greyed out on the edit menu so I can't even do it that way. I have to drag the selected text.
    I don't have zone alarm or any of the other things other people have installed. Is there a solution to this yet?
    Thank you.

    Hi lotusgreen!
    Are you unable to copy/paste only in Firefox or is it the same for IE and Chrome?

  • Copy/Paste Style not working consistently in iOS Pages

    I cannot figure out what is going on with iOS Pages Copy/Paste Styles.
    Sometimes it works, but often it doesn't. I copy a style, and then select the text I want to paste the style to, and the 'paste style" option doesn't appear. It's as if no style was copied in the first place. Tried multiple times with the same result.
    Also, it is not really clear to me WHAT is included in iOS Pages styles. It appears the font and size is included, but not the color. Not sure about other elements (line spacing, etc.). Is this described completely someplace?

    You are not doing, something wrong. I have the same problem.
    Past Style, disappears ....
    This must be a BUG, in Pages, after the latest update.
    Had zero problem, with this before.
    Have to over and over again turn off iPad and restart it.
    Very, very annoying!

  • Undo/Redo for Cut, Copy, Paste

    I am trying to implement Undo/Redo for Cut,Copy,Paste in a Treetable.
    I have to support undo/redo for multiple nodes being cut/copied. I am not sure how I should be going about implementing this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If the class you are using doesn't support cut, copy, and paste already, usually what you do is store a list of actions in two lists. One for actions done, the other for redos (when there is an undo). Capture the data before and after each operation (you can create a KeyListener to listen for the events) and store that in a list. When undo is called, the last element on the list should be undone, either by taking it out of the list and reiterating through the elements still there, or implementing an undo method in the object you are trying to change. Then put that element on the redo list in case that is called. This works well with graphics and stuff, but I never tried to implement it in a tree with nodes and stuff, so that's about the most I can help with right now. I hope it helps some!

  • How can I copy & paste a dropdown list

    Using CS4
    I have an AP drop down list under one of my headers that  I want to copy & paste so I can edit it and use it under other headers.  I can view the highlighted drop down list box and see the CSS styles, behaviors, AP elements etc in the insert panel but I can't figure out how to duplicate it and apply it to another header.
    thanks
    Jim

    Your code is VERY buggy.
    But you have to copy from the <td> to the </td>(think its the </div> in your code, you have forgot to change) containing the javascript for your the dropdown.

  • Copy/Paste Bug (Chinese Characters Added)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm not sure what is going on but recently, when I copy/paste something on my MacBook Pro, running the latest Mavericks, it sometimes appends some weird Chinese characters at the end of it. It will only show up sometimes and only in certain programs (such as copying URLs).
    This worries me very much for some obvious reasons. I don't have Chinese enabled, the characters are not always the same, and I have absolutely no idea why it is doing this.
    Any suggestions? Is this some weird but known bug? Am I the victim of some sort of spyware? Any suggestions as to what I should use to try to track this down? A quick google search turned nothing up.
    I would demonstrate the bug here but it isn't currently reproducing the problem. As I said earlier: It's rather intermittent.
    Any help or suggestions would really help me out.
    Thanks.

    I doubt anyone can help without a screen shot of what you are seeing.  Come back when you have one.  In the meantime I would not worry, it is most likely some kind of encoding glitch.  You don't have to "enable" a language to have it displayed on your screen, OS X automatically does that.

  • Safari5.1.x Cut/Paste and Copy/Paste don't work

    Please reconsider the severity of this bug!
    It may be related to something more fundamental in the Safari cut-n-paste functionality. It seems that Safari ALWAYS pastes an instance of the parent macro when copying content wrapped in a macro. The same behaviour is seen when copying and pasting text wrapped in the "Numbered headings" macro.
    I believe the problem is mainly related to the cut and copy function rather than the paste function, since the instance of the parent element is also pasted when attempting to place the cut content outside the parent element. This effectively means that there is no way to move content out of a macro, since deleting the wrapper macro will also delete the contents.
    All in all this makes Safari 5.1.x pretty much useless as a client to Confluence, since basic editing will have to involve pasting to and recutting from some external program to perform the most basic of editing operations. In a corporate environment users may not be allowed to install (or use) an alternative browser.

    I have this problem using Safari 5.1.7 on OS 10.6.8. I believe the issue exist with much before versions as well. Please someone reconstruct the issue and confirm it. Thanks. this is making Safari useless.

  • Copy/paste testframe from a master page ?

    Hi,
    A layout has been made by a designer. He uses a lot of properties (rotation, odd corner, gradient ...) for each of his elements (textFrame).
    From this layout, I have to create an automatic layout from his work (I'm using InDesign CS5). That mean I should recreate the properties in Javascript for several elements.
    I was wondering if it would be better to use a Master page with all of those elements in it and then using of the "copy/paste" to call my elements.
    According to you, is it a good way to proceed ?
    By the way, I have some problems to select a textframe in my master page...
    Here is what I use to access to my textFrame element :
    myDocument.masterSpreads.item("A-MyName").pages.item(0).textFrames.item("MyBlocName")
    What's wrong ?
    Thank you very much.

    I use the script label to name my textframes.
    I define the names myself in a MasterPage especially reserved to contain those textFrames ready to be copied and pasted, so I suppose there won't be two identical names !
    There's no other way to proceed than with an instruction FOR ?
    Something direct like : myMasterPage.item("MyBlocName").copy()  ?
    (I don't really know how copy/paste function works in Indesign Javascript Scripting...)
    By the way, I tried to use the exemple like this (to see if it works) :
    myMasterPage = myDocument.masterSpreads.item("C-test"); //My Master is called "test" and its letter is "C".
    for(var n=0;n<myMasterPage.allPageItems.length;n++){
        if(myMasterPage.allPageItems[n].constructor.name == "TextFrame" && myMasterPage.allPageItems[n].label == "MyBlocName"){
            myMasterPage.allPageItems[n].contents = "TEST";       
    But nothing happen... (no error).
    A problem with myMesterPage ?
    Thank you very much for your help !

  • Copy paste buttons

    Hey,
    I frequently need to copy paste groups of several element, which include buttons, into frames (in order to create scrollable frames for DPS), and every time I do that with a "Go to State" buttons, they lose their properties and I have to recreate them, which is pretty cumbersome to do, and especially so when the button isn't in the visible part of the frame.This happens both in CS5.5 and CS6
    Is there any way to past a button into a frame without losing the button's action?
    Thanks

    @Bob – yesterday I began writing a script snippet that is something like a proof of concept, that it is possible to duplicate a button to a rectangle or any kind of object that can hold a button object.
    But before presenting that, let me explain its basic functionality.
    1. In scripting we have one principle method to get a duplicate of a button object and therefore not losing the target MSO information: the duplicate() method.
    2. duplicate() applied to a "Button" object will not get us in the right direction, because the target of the duplicate() method can only be a "Spread", a "Page" or a "Layer". Or you could move the duplicated button with  x/y values on a spread or a page. The target could not be a rectangle or a state in an MSO. So this seems to be a dead end.
    3. But, and here comes the clue, you are able to move or duplicate a "Character" or a "Texts" object from one text frame to another. And this is the key to a possible solution:
    If you are working with anchored objects ("Button", "Groups of Buttons" or any other object that you could paste inside of an insertion point in a text frame), you could duplicate or move that object around. The "Button" in this case is simply represented as a "Character" object that flows with the text frame.
    For "Texts" objects (and a single character (=anchored button) is a subset of "Texts") the duplicate() method supports the following parameters:
    1. The position of the duplicated character in regards of the target insertion point or text:
    LocationOptions.AFTER
    Places the object after the reference object.
    LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING
    Places the object at the beginning of the containing object.
    LocationOptions.AT_END
    Places the object at the end of the containing object.
    LocationOptions.BEFORE
    Places the object before the reference object.
    LocationOptions.UNKNOWN
    No location specified.
    2. The target (a "Texts" object, a insertion point, a character, a word, a paragraph) could be the same text frame of the original anchored button or a different text frame. And that could be a new text frame, that could be easily added to a rectangle, a state of an MSO etc.pp. with:
    myRectangle.textFrames.add();
    That implies we only need two ingredients to make that concept work:
    A source text frame and a target text frame.
    The source is a text frame that holds an anchored button and should be easily identified by the script. The user (you) could do this by renaming it in the Layers Panel. Just replace its generic name "<Textframe>" with "Source".
    The target could be a rectangle. For ease of use it could be a selected rectangle and the script will work with the selection.
    What the script is doing:
    It identifies the source text frame by its name (therfore it should be unique in the document) and duplicates all its characters (eg. the anchored button, but could be any anchored object) to a new text frame that will be added on the fly to the selected rectangle.
    And here comes the script (JavaScript):
    //DuplicateAnchoredObjectsTo_SELECTION.jsx
    //DESCRIPTION:Just a proof of concept!
    //Uwe Laubender
    * @@@BUILDINFO@@@ DuplicateButtonTo_SELECTION.jsx !Version! Sat Sep 15 2012 19:39:03 GMT+0200
    var myDoc = app.documents[0];
    var mySel = app.selection[0];
    try{
    var mySource = myDoc.pageItems.itemByName("Source").texts[0];
    var myTarget = mySel.textFrames.add({geometricBounds:mySel.geometricBounds}).insertionPoints[0];
    mySource.duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER,myTarget);
    }catch(e){alert(e.message)};
    It's not exactly the thing you like to do, because it requires some preparations:
    you have to anchor the object you like to duplicate,
    you have to define the target MSO after you anchored the source button,
    you have to rename the text frame
    and:
    you get an additional text frame at the target rectangle and that is adding some complexity to the structure of your document, but hey, it's working…
    Here are some screen grabs to illustrate the preparation of the source and showing the results after running the script:
    1. Prepare the button as an anchored object (sorry, but the UI is in German, but I think you'll get it):
    2. Rename the source text frame from "<Textframe>" to a unique name.
    In this case: "Source":
    3. Define the target MSO in the button at that stage.
    By copy/paste the button to the text frame you already lost the target MSO.
    4. Select the target rectangle you want to duplicate the button to:
    (the green rectangle represents the first state of the MSO on this spread. It's just an example)
    5. Run the script:
    6. Inspect the results:
    6.1 The button sits in the selected rectangle
    6.2 To be precise: it's the first character in a text frame that is added to the target rectangle.
    The added text frame has the exact size and position of your selection:
    6.3 Inspect the button: the target  is not lost. The MSO is still addressed by the button:
    Instead of a single button as the source, you could use a variety of objects:
    groups, several buttons anchored one after another etc.pp.
    And remember: this is just a proof of  concept so error management is hardly implemented.
    Uwe
