Append copyright text to copied text in clipboard

Is it possible in RH6 to append a copyright string to the
text that a user has just copied to the clipboard, so that when
they paste it, they get the text they copied, plus the copyright
string? The old WinHelp application that I am converting to HTML
help had this feature - I believe the old project was authored in
RoboHelp, but have no idea on how they included the copyright
string. I haven't found anything in the help that references
functionality like this, nor have I found anything online.

Hi,
Make use of READ_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT FM to get the additional text and add to the existing text.

Programatically copying text to the clipboard

Short: I need to programatically copy a string of text from
either a variable or a hidden control field to the clipboard.
Long: We have a requirement to allow the user to 'pop-up' a
list of frequently used words, select one from the list and have
it pasted into a field on the form. What I would prefer to do
is select the user's words into an LOV and have the chosen word
placed into a hidden field. If I could move the contents of
that field to the clipboard, I can place the focus back in the
original field ('keep cursor position' = yes) and used the
PASTE_REGION built-in to insert the text without overwriting
anything.
The other method I have been experimenting with is creating my
own 'List of Values' form. I'm using a t-list to display the
user's word list. When-List-Changed copies the word to a visible
text field and an OK button places the focus in the text field,
executes the SELECT-ALL built-in, then the COPY-REGION built-in
and returns to the calling form with the word in the clipboard.
Problems: The user can't shrink the list by typing like they can
with an Oracle LOV. When the focus is in the t-list, the
DEFAULT functionality of the OK button doesn't happen. I can't
get a When-Mouse-Doubleclick trigger to fire while in the t-list.
In the end, I prefer the first method (the LOV) BUT... I have to
have a field visible on the form to place focus in, select all
of the text and copy to the clipboard. This field looks silly.
I'm sorry this question is so long winded. Thank you for
reading it all. Does anyone know how I might accomplish this
requirement (professionally)?
Thank you,
Fouad

Acrobat X: PDF to PS and back results in a "nice" PDF, but copy text from it is bad!

We used this workflow (PDF -> PS -> PDF) to get very small filesizes in any cases.
Before, we had problems with certain PDFs with many layers.
But now we have problems with the text within these PDFs.
Selecting text and copying it (to clipboard) and past it somewhere results in small rectangles ( ).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Norbert

Acrobat shows very normal text of this PDF:
Select it with the select tool, ctrl-c, and paste it into e.g. find dialog shows rectangles:

Safari copy wipes the clipboard

Anyone else have this in Safari 4 for Windows?
I use Safari at work, often copying and pasting text; in Safari 4 I have noticed an issue that when I have text in the clipboard and use the keyboard shortcut to paste the text into a text box on a web page.
Here's what happens, I first have some text I copied into the clipboard, when I accidentally hit Ctrl-C instead of Ctrl-V the clipboard gets wiped out as Safari copies a null amount of text into the clipboard, thus if I realize my mistake and try to do a Ctrl-V my previously copied text has disappeared from the clipboard and nothing pastes.
Yeah I know I should learn to type better, ha ha, but we all occasionally make mistakes and it's infuriating when this happens. I am sure this was not the behaviour Safari 3 and also this issue does not occur in FireFox and I think most other browsers out there.
I clean installed Safari on a new install of Windows on a virtual machine and was able to recreate the issue.
Any thoughts?

Copying text to the clipboard in AVDocDidOpen event handler causes Acrobat 9 to crash

I'm trying to copy the filename of a document to the clipboard in a plugin with my AVDocDidOpen event handler. It works for the first file opened; however when a second file is opened, Acrobat crashes. The description in the application event log is: "Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 9.1.0.163, faulting module gdi32.dll, version 5.1.2600.5698, fault address 0x000074cc."
I've confirmed that the specific WIN32 function that causes this to happen is SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hText); When that line is commented out and remaining code is left unchanged, Adobe doesn't crash.
Is there an SDK function that I should be using instead of WIN32's SetClipboardData()? Alternately, are there other SDK functions that I need to call be before or after I call SetClipboardData()
Bill Erickson

Leonard,
I tried it with both "DURING, HANDLER, END_HANDLER" and "try catch," as shown below. However, it doesn't crash in the event handler; it crashes later, so the HANDLER/catch block is never hit.
The string that's passed to SetClipboardData() is good, because I'm able to paste it into the filename text box of the print dialog when I try to create the "connector line" PDF. I also got rid of all the string manipulation and tried to pass a zero-length string to the clipboard but it still crashes.
Here's the code:
ACCB1 void ACCB2 CFkDisposition::myAVDocDidOpenCallback(AVDoc doc, Int32 error, void *clientData)
    PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(doc);
    char* pURL = ASFileGetURL(PDDocGetFile(annotDataRec->thePDDoc));
    if (pURL)    {
        if (strstr(pURL, "file://") && strstr(pURL, "Reviewed.pdf")) {
            // Opened from file system so copy filename to clipboard for connector line report
            char myURL[1000];
            strcpy(myURL, pURL);
            ASfree(pURL);    // Do this before we allocate a Windows handle just in case Windows messes with this pointer
            pURL = NULL;
            HGLOBAL hText = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, 1000);
            if (hText)    {
                try
                    // Skip path info and go right to filename
                    char *pText = (char *)GlobalLock(hText);
                    char *pWork = strrchr(myURL,'/');
                    if (pWork)    {
                        strcpy(pText, pWork+1);
                    } else {
                        strcpy(pText, myURL);

                    // Replace "%20" in filename with " "
                    pWork = strstr(pText, "%20");
                    while (pWork)    {

                    pWork = strstr(pText, ".pdf");
                    *pWork = 0;    // truncate the string before ".pdf"
                    strcat(pWork,".Connectors.pdf");
                    GlobalUnlock(hText);     // Must do this BEFORE SetClipboardData()

Button to copy text to the clipboard

Reading the document "Javascript for Acrobat API Reference" Page 120:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf
the document discusses the execMenuItem command. From all that I have researched it appears I cannot create a button that copies text from a text field to the UI clipboard.
On page 121 the API reference says:
To ensure a secure environment, the menu items that can be executed are limited to the following:
●AcroSendMail:SendMail
●ActualSize
●AddFileAttachment
●BookmarkShowLocation
●Close
●CropPages
●DeletePages.............
..............●ZoomViewOut
The list is long but nowhere is "Copy" mentioned. I don't want to surreptitiously copy text or use a trusted function. I am content with the user knowing a button just copied a field of text. I just want to skip the highlighting of multiple field to get all the text. Does anyone know a way around this? I would like to copy a text field to the clipboard so the text can be entered elsewhere in another program.

All I know is they made this impossible a long time ago, like with Acrobat 5 or 6. I recall because I took advantage of it and never discovered a workaround.

I find that I can no longer copy text to the clipboard.

Why can I no longer copy text to my clipboard?

Here is a little more information. Last week everything worked fine. I opened the same document yesterday and tried to copy some text to the clipboard and now I get an error message saying "can not copy to clipboard, internal error. I also find that pdf files from the internet will not load and all I get is a small black x box in the upper left corner of the screen. Went through the steps in control panel and adobe is enabled.

Copy text to Windows clipboard

I need to copy text, either from a Flash textArea component
or a text member, to the Windows clipboard so it can be pasted into
a form field in a web page. I'm trying to streamline a data entry
process and alleviating CTRL+C will be a big help. Does anyone know
a way of doing this?
Thanx in advance.

If you do not need it in Shockwave, there is the free
clipboard xtra
from the wonderful Valentin Schmidt...
http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/xtras/clipboard/
That has a whole of of control over the clipboard and its
contents/formats.
If you just need a simple text to/from the clipboard routine,
then you
can use BuddyAPI's baCopyText() and baPasteText()

Applets and clipboard (copying text)

I've done some small games like chess that work directly in browser as applets. During game moves are printed out to normal JTextArea component. Idea and much used feature so far have been that at the end of game players can simply copy move list to clipboard and save/use them as wanted.
But now it seems that after Java 6 update 24 it is no longer possible to copy text from textarea to clipboard? It is possible to select all text with crtl+a but ctrl+c does nothing. Is there any way how people could get text to their clipboard from (unsigned) applet?
Thanks!

               "I'd like to be put on the clipboard";
          writeToClipboard(writeMe);
}After running the application when I try to paste it in GEDIT , it is not pasting .
Also in menubar the PASTE is also not getting enable.
Can anybody tell how to copy text .
OS used Ubuntu 8.1 and java version 1.6 update 10
Thanks and regards

Copy cannot be disabled to my knowledge. Did you try quitting Safari and resetting your iPad? To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Confused text after copying to clipboard

Hello,
I have
WinXP SP 2
Adobe Reader 8.1.0
I have some pdf-documents from which I need to copy the text to the clipboard. If I do so I get an error message "error occured..." but text is copied. But the copied text is completely nonsense.
Example:
Original:
"In case of dispute the German wording is binding."
Copy:
What can that be?
Has anyone a hint for me?
Thanks in advance.
Uwe

Some PDF files have this problem.
Technically: the font does not contain a useful encoding which allows
the font glyph references to be mapped to a representation you can
use.
In simple language: in some PDF files, the text will always copy as
junk.
If you are making the PDF, you may be able to change the way you make
it. If it is already made, that's all.

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

Can not copy text from AI CC or AI6 in to the file name

I have an AI file with 80+ UPC codes that I need to separate in to individual files. Each UPC has a descriptor but when I copy the text and then try to paste it as file name it will not paste. I use this same process regularly in InDesign when I design print ads. Each print ad has a unique item number that prints with the copyright line so I simply copy and paste that information when I do the save.
Under File Handling and Clipboard both PDF and AICB are on. I've tried this in AICC and AICS6. I also tried different files. Same issue. Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to type 80 some descriptions which are very lengthy.

I can not copy the text from Illustrator in to any OS X application/function (filename, Mail, Text Edit, ect). I can copy in to InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, and other other Adobe product. I can copy in to Word as well. I guess my work around will be Word.
And the opposite is true. I can copy text from any other Adobe application to any OS X application/function with no issues.
I guess my work around will be to OCR the text from Acrobat and open in Word. The descriptors have to be 100% accurate and some of them are pretty long.

Can't Copy text unless console is opened before applet with JTextField

If an applet uses JTextFields, it is impossible to copy text from the console to the clipboard (or anywhere else) if the console is opened after the applet.
See http://demo.capmon.dk/~pvm/nocopy/nocopy.html for a working applet with source and class file to try it out on...
So if something bad has happened, and there are hints in the console e.g. a stack trace, it all has to be retyped by hand, since all Copy or export is impossible...
Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I'd like to be able to e.g. copy stack traces to bug reports.
Try these test cases:
* Close all browser windows. Open a browser and visit this page. After the page with this applet has loaded, then open the console with "Tools/Sun Java Console" (or "Tools/Web Development/Java Console" in Mozilla). Select some text in the console. There is no way to put this text on the clipboard; the "Copy" button doesn't work, and neither does CTRL+Insert, CTRL+C or anything else.
* Close all browser windows. Open a browser window no some non-java page and then open the console with "Tools/Sun Java Console" (or "Tools/Web Development/Java Console" in Mozilla). Then visit this page. Select some text in the console. Now the "Copy" button does work, enabling "export" of e.g. stack traces to other applicaitons e.g. email.
The difference is which is opened first: The console or the applet. If you look at the very rudimentary Java source code, it is the mere creation of a JTextField is what disables or breaks the Copy functionality.
I've tried this on Windows XP with IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.3 and they behave exactly the same. The JVM is Sun's 1.4.2 and I've tried 1.4.1_02 also with the same behavior. I've also tried javac from both 1.4.2 and 1.4.1_01

hey .. this seems like a bug.. can you please file a bug at
