Can't copy text in a preview-document opened in Safari.

Since the last upgrade of safari (I think) I can't copy text in a preview document opened in Safari. Can I adjust anything in the preferences or is there any other solution to get the normal behaviour back?

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.

    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.

  • Can't Copy Text From PDF Within Gmail Preview

    Hi,
    If I click on a pdf attachment while inside gmail, I get the expected preview window of that PDF. However, I can't copy text from it. If I press Command-C, it just makes a beeping noise letting me know nothing is being copied. If I select text and right-click, there's no 'copy' option. Also, in the top toolbar, Copy is greyed out in the Edit menu. However, if I just hold down Command-C for a couple seconds the text will copy anyways (while hearing a dozen audible beeps). I can copy text without issue using Firefox from the same PDF attachment preview inside Gmail.
    Thanks for any help.

    Having same issue as well. I've had this problem pre-Yosemite and it seems to be Safari related. Copy to clipboard in Gmail preview works fine in Chrome & Firefox, just not Safari. As you indicated if you hold ctrl-c long enough it will eventually copy, just forces you to listen to the series of annoying bongs.
    Also there's no copy to clipboard in the context menu as illustrated below:

    Pretty annoying really, I'm not about to download a dozen attached PDFs to copy to clipboard, so now I'm sitting in the Delta lounge with my laptop bonging away as I wait for Safari to copy to clipboard and everyone looks at me like I'm a moron.
    NOTE: No I do not have acrobat or any other software loaded besides vanilla Safari. This has gone on on my MBP, Mac Pro and now this brand new MBP I got Monday as a company upgrade, it literally has nothing installed on it at the moment.

    Once you have selected text, there will be blue circular buttons on the corners. Get the ones on the end and move them in towards the text that you want to copy. The problem that you seem to be facing where you are is that this text is a hyperlink. Because of that reason, you will have a difficult time tapping on the text without activating the link. I'm not sure you will be able to do that.

  • How can I copy text&image from a website to Apple Pages at once?

    I'm using Apple Pages 9.1, I can't copy text and images to pages at once. When I paste the copy contents to it, it just only shows text. With Safari, this functionality seems normal. I could copy and paste what I want to the pages.
    What can I do now? I don't want to open Safari just only to copy and quit it after that. :D

    Does it matter how widely you select? Firefox may be somewhat stingier in what it includes in a selection than other browsers. For example, I suspect you would have better results if you select the entire page and copy and paste it compared with a section of the page. But that's just a guess, I've never used Pages (or any of iWork).

  • How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions?

    How can I copy text in Adobe Digital Editions for an eBook that I have purchased?

    Adobe apps can be reset to their factory defaults by using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, not Del. The rest doesn't really make any sense since you did not provide any details and authorizations can't be changed that way, anyway. If you want to transfer books to other devices you need to contact the vendors to release the DRM/ provide a new download and if you want to change the registered ID, you need to contact support or create a completely new account, which in turn will require you to buy your DRM managed books again/ get a new download as well.

    Hi Carolyn,
    Thanks for your advice... My overall iPad performance is much mor "snappy" but here is what I get with a paste to this message:iPad 2 User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)
    Touch and hold the link. You can open the link in Safari or copy the link address to the clipboard .

    And this was not what I was most recently copied to my clipboard while using Safari! Befor trying this copy/paste I even cleared Safari cookies and cache! Any other ideas would be appreciated.

    Thank you everyone

    Duh, install Flip4Mac. It has been Microsoft's officially recommended software for playing wma files since they stopped development of the Mac version of Windows Media Player some years ago.
    Quoted from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/overview.htm:
    Developed by Telestream and distributed by Microsoft, Flip4Mac components are the most trusted solution with professional support, stability, and official support from Microsoft.
