  • Problem with selecting text in a PDF document

    I'm having a problem with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9.  PDF document that has copying and selecting permissions granted, when I highlight text for copying, some of it gets highlighted and some doesn't.  Put the same document on several computers in the office, same issue.  It's the document, but I can't figure out what the deal is.
    We need to copy large portions of this into a new tech manual. 
    Can someone help

    Without further information, my first reaction is to think that the texts that you cannot copy are included as images.

  • How do I select text in a PDF document?

    I have a text-based PDF document, but I can only select text by restarting the reader. Once I select "Take a Snapshot" I can't select text anymore. How do I switch back to select text? I tried right-clicking on the document but I don't see any "selection" tool. I am using 11.0.3 under Win 7.

    Just tested this (Reader 11.0.3 on Windows XP), and your scenario is exactly so.
    I have been able to go back to get the Select Tool by clicking on the Highlight tool in the Toolbar, then right-clicking on the document.
    But it's definitely a bug in my view.

  • 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...

    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...

  • A problem highlighting/selecting text in Illustrator CS3

    In several instances I can't highlight text to copy or to edit, other times it works fine. If I click the radio button for the text in layers (other layers may be locked to prevent accidental selection), the baselines appears and I should be able to highlight the text, but I can't. If I highlight some other unaffected area of text successfully (unlocked layers), sometimes it will allow me to select the problem text directly after. Then it will go back to being a problem, why?

    I'm using the general text tool, I've locked the other sublayers to avoid accidentally selecting those items. Then I click the radio button on the sublayer I wish to edit or copy, which reveals the baselines. Then if I click within that object to highlight text with the cursor, the text tool creates a new textbox/sublayer and does not highlight the text I intended.

  • How do I highlight selected text in the Pages, Keynotes?

    How do I highlight selected text in the Pages, Keynotes?

    To answer your question foor your iOS Device using Pages or Keynote for iOS: You can't highlight as you might in many note taking apps for iPad, etc.
    The best you can do at this point is to change the selected text's color by selecting the text > Style Menu (wrench) > Tap on the Font > Tap on the Color Box to reveal choices.
    If you would like to join the chorus of folks wishing such a feature were in Pages and Keynote, you can leave feedback for the people at Apple:

  • Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi all,
    I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
    The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
    The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0.  The operating system is XP SP3.
    As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
    Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

    There is a program from Wondershare, called PDF Password remover, that will remove such restrictions, but I'm not allowed to recommend it, only to point out it's existence.

  • How can I copy text from a PDF document in bb pbk?

    I've tried to copy a text from a PDF document but adobe reader doesn't give me that option. How can I do it? or there is a better reader for PDF that allows to copy, make bookmarks, to highlights?

    If the PDF is not an IMAGE, you can using a free program called PDF-XChange Viewer from Tracker Software. If the PDF was done as an image then you will not be able to select the text.

    I am trying to edit text (insert text) in a pdf document using Adobe 9 Pro.  When I click on Advanced Editing, touch up text tool.  I select a box around the text and begin to type, nothing appears the cursor moves but nothing is typed.  I need immediate help .

    Editing text and Adding text require different tools.
    The Touch up text tool would be used to modify; add, modify or delete within a line of existing text.
    To add text to an open area, the Typewriter tool would be necessary.

  • Inserting text to Acrobat PDF document, not able to create PDEText.

    Hi ,
    I have created a plugin for Acrobat, On press of MyPlugin's 'Insert' button it has to add the text to the document.
    Eg: If there is a Active PDF document, which contains a text "Hello" in it. I want to insert "World" (i.e, the document should have "Hello World") when i click 'Insert' button.
    I am writing the below function for this:
    static void InsertCitationText(PDDoc activePDDoc,PDPage pdPage , int pgNum , int pgOffset)
          PDEContent volatile pdecontent = NULL;
          PDPage pdPage = PDDocAcquirePage (activePDDoc, pgNum);
          pdecontent = PDPageAcquirePDEContent (pdPage, gExtensionID);
        Here I have to create PDEText pdeText and assign "World" to it. How do i do this??
         I tried to do this in TextCreate function by looking into the sample plugin snippets but its not creating the text , when i debug and see the value value of 'pdeText' its giving,  "pdeText not found".
               PDEText pdeText = TextCreate();
          PDEContentAddElem(pdecontent, kPDEAfterLast, (reinterpret_cast<PDEElement>(pdeText)));
          /* Put the contents back in the page */
          PDPageSetPDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
          /* Clean up */
          PDPageReleasePDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
    static PDEText TextCreate()
                PDSysFont sysFont=NULL; /* Used by PDEFont creation */
                PDEFont pdeFont=NULL; /* Reference to a font used on a page */
                PDEFontAttrs pdeFontAttrs; /* Font attributes */
                ASFixedMatrix textMatrix; /* Transformation matrix for text */
                PDEColorSpace pdeColorSpace; /* ColorSpace */
                PDEGraphicState gState; /* Graphic state to apply to operation */
                // Create a PDEText object
                PDEText pdeText = PDETextCreate();
                // Text to write to the PDF
                char *Title = "World";
                // Get system font
                sysFont = PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs, sizeof(PDEFontAttrs), 0);
                // Initialize the font descriptor then create the font reference.
                memset(&pdeFontAttrs, 0, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs));
                // Find the matching system font.
                pdeFontAttrs.name = ASAtomFromString("Verdana");
                pdeFontAttrs.type = ASAtomFromString("Type1");
                //Get system font
                sysFont = PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs,sizeof(pdeFontAttrs),0);
                pdeFont = PDEFontCreateFromSysFont(sysFont, kPDEFontDoNotEmbed);
                // Create a DEGraphicState object and set its attributes
    pdeColorSpace = PDEColorSpaceCreateFromName(ASAtomFromString("DeviceGray"));
                memset(&gState, 0, sizeof(PDEGraphicState));
    gState.strokeColorSpec.space = gState.fillColorSpec.space = pdeColorSpace;
                gState.miterLimit = fixedTen;
                gState.flatness = fixedOne;
                gState.lineWidth = fixedOne;

                pdeText =  PDETextCreate();
    PDETextAdd (pdeText, kPDETextRun, 0,(ASUns8 *)Title, strlen(Title), pdeFont, &gState,

                PDERelease ((PDEObject) pdeColorSpace);
                PDERelease ((PDEObject) pdeFont);
                return pdeText;
    Is there anyway i can add the "World" (as PDEElement) to document so that i can use in this function "PDEContentAddElem(pdecontent, kPDEAfterLast, (reinterpret_cast<PDEElement>(pdeText)));"  ???
    Or
    Should i use the above 'TextCreate()' huge function to create PDEText(PDEElement). If i have to use this method why the PDEText is not getting created? Am i missing something in the above function ??
    Please someone help me out, Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    thanks for you answer.
    But the document only describes the conversion of SAP Script into PDF file.
    The OTF output of the SAP Script is converted to PDF by using the function module CONVERT_OTF.
    Do I have any other possibilities to access and download the PDF Document without using SAP Script?
    I already created the PDF Interface and PDF Form by using the "Form Builder" (Transaction SFP).
    My program shall access and download this Form.
    This works almost but all of the text information is obviously lost. All of the graphical information is displayed in the downloaded document.
