Can not copy content

i can not copy text from ebook
Adobe Digital Editions

I didn't see Andrew's post before I started working on the Service option. I fleshed out some things and came up with this:
If you make it a service, you have to choose the type of data the service collects. Text seemed to work the best, but you had to right-click on some text in the card. In the workflow, you had to do something with the text or it would fail. I tried 'no input' as the service data type, but then you couldn't actually get the service to show up in the contextual menu.
However, you can assign it a shortcut in the keyboard system prefs. I assigned the workflow cmd+shift-C. This works out fine. The workflow runs and copies the contact info to the clipboard.
You can set up the Get Contact Information to collect whatever data you want. If you wanted to choose the type of data each time, you could set the options of that action to Show this action when workflow runs.
To summarize the workflow:
New Automator Service
No Input in Address Book
Get selected Address Book People
Get Contact Information
Copy to Clipboard
Save this and then go into Keyboard System Prefs, Keyboard Shortcuts, Services, and set a shortcut for your new service.

  • Movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project in imovie 9 it works fine

    movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project
    in imovie 9 it works fine and there i cant copy 5 different project into new project
    but in imovie 11 i only can copy project with option dubler project?

    AppleMan  Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents"  but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb.  Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong.  Babowa  It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

  • How do you ensure people can not copy your materials and steal your ideas.

    We have a number of training manuals and we just print them for our participants.  A number of participants every year ask for e-copies. Its a great idea but how do I ensure they can not copy the materials and re-purpose it for their own use. In worse case scenerio they could copy huge chunks of the manuals and become competitors.
    The searchable feature is one reason sited by clients for e-copies.  This kind of shuts down the scan -OCR approach. To make it searchable would be a sizable task.
    Some approach to limit easy copying;
    bi-column writing columns
    Waterwarks
    encrypted passwords - however this still may allow it to be passed around to wider audiences.
    I feel like I'm asking futile question in the modern e-era, how do i lock down my materials allow for ease of use and distribution and yet ensure our IP is not distributed beyond the intended audience.

    Staying on paper provides only the perception of "protection".
    It is trivial to prep a hardcopy source, scan the paper, OCR and have it all in PDF.
    While Acrobat's OCR will do an adequate job one can step up to something more robust if desired.
    Once PDFs with OCR output are in hand it is, again, trivial to export the textual content.
    Going to TXT, RTF, DOC or DOCX  lets one clean up, edit, etc.
    Go digital. Apply appropriate copyright information to metadata and elsewhere.
    Monitor your field of endeavor. At the end of the day it really is a limit field of play with limited players in a very big world.
    Should you come across the baddies have the lawyers tree 'em eh.
    If you've a end-user friendly, usable product you will get more "end-users". 
    Be well...

  • 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 not copy text from a pdf file

    Does anybody know what cause the problem and how to fix it? The current walkaround is to convert the pdf into image, then load the image into acrobat and perform OCR. But this is tedious and some information may be lost. I'm wondering if there is a better solution.

    I have protected pdf files. You can not copy things, but it is allowed to print. In the menu of the pdf it says you are allowed to print. I already printed lots of times the document. But today there is an error "The printer is not admittet to print these pdf". Its new. Theres no problem with the printer. I can print word documents, internet pages etc. But today I can not print anymore my pdf document, although printing is allowed and only copying is forbidden.
    How to solve the problem with the pdf?
    Thank you.

    Hi Hans,
    There seems to be other restrictions in the document that's not allowing it to print.
    Would it be possible to share the document with me so that I can have a look?

  • I have followed the directions given and still can not copy and paste, how can I fix this?

    I am trying to use the copy and paste function on a website and I get a message window that states that firefox does not allow cut/copy/paste. I followed the link for help and created the js. text file like instructed with the website's URL. I still can not copy and paste. I can copy and paste on this website with internet explorer, but not with firefox. I can not perform all the website functions with the internet explorer brower and switching back and forth from browser to browser is very time consuming and a hassle. Please help me solve this issue.

    Try this using extension - Allow Clipboard Helper - it makes that a lot easier to do and lessens the incidence of user error. <br />

  • Can not copy any file or empty the trash

    Hello,
    I'm using a Macbook (white) with OSX 10.6.4 and am having an extremely annoying problem which has three symptoms:
    1. I *can not empty the trash* (safely or not) at all.
    2. I *can not copy any file*, anywhere.
    3. I *can not move anything to the "Applications"* folder.
    I try restarting the computer, repairing the permissions, running the latest version of Onyx and so on, but nothing works. I always get the following error message (when copying a file or emptying the trash)
    "The operation can't be completed because you don't have the permission to access some of the items".
    And this even though I repaired the permissions three times today.
    To be honest, this makes my Mac pretty useless, and is very frustrating.
    Can anybody help? I've browsed a lot of other threads about this, tried everything, but to no avail.
    Come on, this is my first Mac, don't tell me I have to reinstall the OS from zero, Windows-style.

    Those are the normal permissions but if you are logged in as admin, hit the unlock button and enter your password they should no longer be greyed out.
    You can try chmoding them from root through the terminal if you are up for it. I'd also try booting up in SafeMode and seeing if that allows access.

  • I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in premiere 12

    Following the procedure described in the manual, I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in Premiere 12.
    Premiere copy a single transition in the clip closer to the time bar.
    I had tried in various ways but to no avail. The problem can be solved?
    Thanks for the help.

    Sig. T.T. Romano,
    javascript:void(0)
    I finally figured out that you can not copy a transition between multiple clips at the same time and it will copy one at a time.
    What seems strange, however, because in Pinnacle, which I used until recently, this could be done, and Adobe is not less than Pinnacle.
    Maybe Adobe does not consider interesting this thing, or maybe it is inserted in Premiere Pro. How, for example, in the titles, the ability to animate multiple lines. In Premiere Elements missing but I knew that in the Pro's.
    I thank you anyway for your helpful answers.

  • Can not copy planning application in EAS?

    the copy option is blanked out for planning application, but fine with other applications.
    this is 11.1.2.3, not see this previous version.

    You can not copy planning application from EAS (Essbase part).. As the application registration is different for Planning and Essbase only applications. Thats why will not be able to register the planning application from EAS as well...
    If you really want to copy Planning application...
    Then LCM, Copyapp.bat/sh can help you ...You need to create new Planning application (Not just essbase part of Planning app).
    Cheers!

  • I can not copy the DVDs that I made with iDVD

    I have a strange problem: I can not copy from a DVD that I made with iDVD (my footage, nothing with copyright). When I try to make a copy from the first DVD that I burned I receive the message that i do not have enough privieges. I checked the "Get information" tabs and I see at the end "Only read" (not copy). This was the 1st dvd that I burned with my new G4 with superdrive.
    Any idea? Thanks for the help in advance

  • Can not copy files to another hard drive for backup

    30May07
    Apple Support:
    I need to copy files from my home to an external hard drive because I need to do a complete re-install, and erase the laptop's hard drive.
    When I try to either move the home folder the icon is a house, I get an question stating that some of my files do not have permssions, do I want to continue anyway (Yes, I do!)
    A bit into the move, I get this message (dealing with permissions):
    Can not copy 1528.emix . Error code -36 .
    I have no such file or any .emix files either. I was able to copy to whole hard disk, not just the home to the same external drive two weeks ago.
    How can I copy my HOME to my external drive so I can reinstall the OS?
    Thank you for your help

    07Jun07
    I believe the problem was my computer's internal drive. It corrupted several files. I had a very hard time copying the files. The -36 error stopped any transfer cold.
    I did a complete install of the OS.
    I need a way to determine what files are corrupt so I can delete them. It took 24 hours to constantly keep trying to copy the files to the external drive. I ended up deleting a lot of un-corrupt files. How can I determine which ones are bad so I don't delete good data?
    Thank you for your help. I am also grateful to the Apple Store in Tucson, AZ.
    You are having a hardware problem - there's a problem
    on one of the drives in this story.
    This can be caused by extra hardware connected to the
    computer, so if you have anything extra connected to
    the computer (external iSight, iPod, USB hub,
    anything) disconnect it.
    If that doesn't help, try reformatting the external
    drive and try again.
    If that doesn't help, just rescue what you can,
    because the next step is that you're going to be
    reformatting the internal drive.
