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

  • 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

    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.

  • How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

    How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

    It's because of the extension of the hard drive is a Windows extension ( most likely MSDOS or Ex-FAT), meaning you can only read but not write. If there are no important files (or you can copy the whole thing to your computer/mac) you can just reformat the hard drive and change the extension to NTFS (readable and writable on both windows and mac) or Mac OS Extended (readable and writable on Mac, readable on windows).
    Go to DISK UTILITY
    Choose the Hard Disk you intended
    ERASE
    You can choose either
              (I personally prefer this one, you know just in case)

  • I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard because my new computer doesn not have cd media.  When I put my serial number in, it says it is not valid.

    My new computer does not have CD media so I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard online.  I am able to download but when it prompts me for the serial number, it says my number is not valid.  I have double and triple checked, the serial number has been entered EXACTLY as it says on the box.  What could be causing this?

    Adobe acrobat 9 standard you will need to use a computer which does contain an optical drive and copy the contents to a USB drive.  You can then install from the USB drive on your computer which does not include an optical drive.  Unfortunately if you did not choose download at the time of purchase then I am not aware of any download locations for the installation files.

  • Adobe Acrobat. Change "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, ..." also for highlights made before changing the setting

    I am looking for a solution to apply the "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" setting to highlights that I made before I changed this setting.
    Someone wrote a batch for this which costs 60 dollar and this seems to do what I am looking for: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Retroactively Copy Highlighted Text into Comments
    Where can I find Adobe's solution for this problem?  I do not want to buy external batches for a professional software suit.
    I expect that this is a common problem for people who start to organize a large literature base with many pdfs and must keep track of highlighted text. I was not previously aware of the "Copy selected..."setting, but I need to change it now for all my pdf files to make them compatible with a reference manager that I want to use. New comments are now compatible, but the hundreds(!) of pdfs that I worked through before are not, so copy pasting the highlighted text into comments is not an option.

    Hi gb145,
    You are posting on acrobat.com online service forums.
    Kindly post this query in Acrobat forums:Acrobat

  • ID CS3 - text wrap doesn't work at the end of a long multi-columned text frame

    Did a search - don't think this specific issue has been addressed:
    We design large graphics often used on walls. When working with a text frame that that was 11 feet long and had 8 columns, text wrap would not work on an image placed in the last column. The same image with the same text wrap applied will work fine anywhere else in the text frame. I found that if I shortened the width of the text frame a little bit at a time eventually it would work, but there doesn't seem to be a specific cut-off width - sometimes the last column won't text wrap when the frame is 115 inches wide and sometimes it doesn't work when the frame is only 80 inches wide. Again, all of the other columns work fine. I have tried all of the obvious stuff, the only variable between the columns that wrap and the one that doesn't is it's position at the end of the text frame.
    We have gotten around this issue by using multiple threaded frames instead of one long frame with multiple columns, but I am curious if anyone else has run into this or might know what the issue is.
    thanks

    About this error:
    Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
    I created that file and rebooted operating system, but any is changed and files disappeared, but i can re-create it.
    About resolution, do you mean this:
    Users of older GPUs should consider switching to nvidia-340xx. The nvidia-343.22 and nvidia-340xx-340.46 packages will be in testing for a few days.
    Enable testing on pacman and upgrade system with those files ?
    Thank you.

  • Bold text formatting doesn't work on Android device

    I've encountered AIR issue with text formatting.  Bold formatting doesn't work on android device.
    I've opened item in adobe bug system https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3638337 which describe the issue.
    Currently I haven't received any helpful feedback from adobe bug system.
    That's why I've desided to ask for support here.
    Does somebody know some workaround for that issue?

    Hello Chris,
    I was wondering if you can remind Adobe dev team about this issue.
    AIR 4 is released already and it doesn't have the issue fixed.
    This issue becomes painful for us because we can't update to new AIR versions.
    Currently we stuck with AIR 3.6. AIR 3.6 has bugs on new Android operational systems.
    But we can't migrate to new AIR4 because bold formatting used heavily by our application doesn't work.
    Thank you,
    Ostap

  • After upgrading my ipad to ios 7, text messaging doesn't work

    after upgrading my ipad to ios 7, text messaging doesn't work

    Assuming you have Messages on. You can try two things the first is a simpler than the second. Go to this site https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, click on Manage your ID, log in and check if your Apple ID for your Messages and FaceTime apps is the the same as your primary email address. When I went there I saw a message that I should make them the same, for some reason they weren't, after I clicked on the submit to make them the same I haven't had any problem with either. Previously I kept getting signed out of both and had to constantly reenter my password to get them working. Quite a few times they wouldn't connect at all.
    The second thing you can try is in Settings - General - Reset, and reset all settings. You will then have to reenter a lot of information such as account user names and passwords but this seemed to correct things for a lot of people. The first option is easier and worked for me so I'd give it a try.

  • I installed the new iOS 5 and now my text messaging doesn't work, how do i fix this?

    i was wondering if this is a hardware problem with my phone since it is a refurbished one, or if it has happened to other people as well.

    How are you trying to accomplish these two tasks?
    The correct way is as follows:
    Camera zoom: pinch with your fingers like you do when viewing pictures.
    Camera button in lock screen: Double-tap on the home button while in lock screen
    If you are already doing it that way and it doesn't work, then maybe someone else here has another idea.

  • Smart text flow doesn't work in scripting

    This is getting to be really frusting. I have enabled smart text flow, it only works if I open the app and modify a textframe. It never works when I run it through a script????? How do I activate this stupid feature using a script?

    Hi,
    This works (for me):
    var document = app.activeDocument;
    var textFrame = document.textFrames.add();
    var page = document.pages.add();
    var nextTextFrame = page.textFrames.add();
    document.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;

  • Mac text input doesn´t work at all

    Hi,
    I have a form with several text input boxes that don´t work at all when i publish the .Fla file via Flash CS4 10.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    I can select them but when i try to write nothing happens as you can test at (Work in progress): www.serverprovider.com.pt/Valentine  ,clicking the button at the footer "solicitar catálogo".
    This issue doesn´t exist if i publish the .Fla file in a PC, wich i´m trying to avoid because i don´t want to change the fonts in the intire website.
    Already read other posts on the forum, tried the "auto kern" solution (static text>deselect auto kern>tranform to input text), but nothing happens.
    Thank´s in advance,
    Ricardo

    Hi again,
    Already solved the problem.
    Because my original file was being published in diferent OS´s (Vista, Mac OSX, Windows 7), i´ve decided to create a new empty .Fla file. After that inserted (copy paste) the content of the older one and then changed the font (from Helvetica Neue to Arial) in the text input fields.
    Don´t ask me why, but my problem was solved this way.
    Hope it helps you.

  • QuickTime on Windows Mac PICT File Text display doesn't work

    There is a problem in QuickTime for Windows, which was there with version 6, and still exists in version 7. I have a Macintosh format PICT file, generated in Illustrator, that contains text and graphics. The text is in Arial font of a particular size. Viewing this PICT file on Windows within the QuickTime Player AND the QuickTime PictViewer, the font is scaled far larger than it is in the Mac version, to the point of going way outside a rectangle drawn around the text.
    When this same PICT file is imported into Excel or Word on Windows, the text aligns and displays correctly, and at the correct size.
    I am a software developer, and I have run PICTS through Quicktime programmatically, and there seems to be a real problem with text handling.
    Anyone else seen this? Any ideas?

    Let me also clarify this by saying that the font I am using exists both on Windows and Mac platforms.
