Can't paste copied selection

I'm using Acrobat XI and an unsecured PDF document. I used the selection tool to highlight the image I wanted and tried both ctrl+c and copy from the edit menu. The program pops up the message that it's being copied to the clipboard, but when I go to paste it somewhere I get nothing or 'The clipboard doesn't contain an image'. I can copy and paste other things just fine; for example I can print screen and then paste that.
Perhaps related, I can't cut the selection from the PDF either. It's greyed out.
Documents properties shows it was created in Acrobat Distiller 10.1.4

A lot of pictures do not copy out of the Adobe environment. One way to get the bitmaps is to use Export All Images. The vector graphics are a bit harder. At least that has been my experience.

Can't paste copied entries from online CSV file into Excel spreadsheet (chatted with zzxc on 5/3/10 at around 2.30 CST but got disconnected. did not get an answer ...)

Here is the transcript of a chat with Firefox community member zzxcon May 3/10
You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc
zzxc: Hello
zzxc: What happens when you attempt to download a .csv file?
seegal: hello
seegal: it doesn't copy
zzxc: how are you trying to copy?
seegal: pls bear with me I'm a slow typist. Just copy selected text
Biolizard has joined the conversation.
zzxc: ok - which text are you selecting?
seegal: I reconcile my checkbook (spreadsheet this way). I copy the items in my online bank acc and paste it to the spreadsheet
seegal: I'm using Firefox /2.0.0.19. Have no problem to do this.
zzxc: Which version of OS X?
seegal: In all newer version nothing happens when trying to paste- just doesn't paste
zzxc: Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported, and hasn't been supported in over a year
zzxc: Paste into Excel, from Firefox?
seegal: Sorry, I'm ahead... /2.0.0.19
seegal: Yes. I open my bank acc in Firefox
zzxc: Which version of Excel?
zzxc: It would really help if you could tell me step by step what you're doing.
seegal: First re: your previous question: it's OS 10.4.11
seegal: About Excell: it'as 2004 version - the lasat one produced for Macs. The specific version is 11.3.7
seegal: So I open my bank acc online in Firfox (my primary browser). I copy the latest entry in the account and paste it into my Excel spreadsheet.
zzxc: so, you copy direct from the web page without downloading a CSV file?
seegal: What do you mean by downloading to CSV file? I could export from the https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/getimage?image=sendmessage&workgroup=support%40workgroup.chat-support.mozilla.comFirefox to the CSV file, but the other way around?
zzxc: Are you copying your bank statement directly from the web site to Excel using the clipboard?
seegal: sI don't use the clipboard. This is a mac. There is no need to do that. In PC it would be yes.
zzxc: I need to know the exact steps you're taking to get them into excel
zzxc: And I need to know what exactly goes wrong in the latest version of Firefox.
seegal: Do you have a mac there with Firefox and Excel? It would be very easy to reproduce. Imagine you open an online bank acc, select some entries , click "copy", than proceed to your already open Excel spreadsheet and click' paste". That's it!
zzxc: When this happens, do you get cryptic code pasted into Excel?
seegal: As I said before: in all newer versions starting with 3.0 when I go to Excel to "paste" from my bank acc nothing happens. It does not paste. No, I don't get a cryptic code pasted, just NOTHING.
zzxc: what if you paste into MS Word instead?
seegal: haven't tried that, the formatting most likely would be lost. Tried that with an other Exc el spreadsheet- it lost all the formating and pasted as continous text.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Pls. see copy of the chat above. THIS A MAC OS X. In older versions, prior to 3.0 I could copy from CSV file on the website Ibank acc) and paste directly to my Excel spreadheet to reconcile my account.

Can't paste copy into form design 'null'

I am designing a custom form. Anytime I try and paste copy I always get "null". Is this a limitation of Form Central as it is built in Flash?

In InCopy, how can I paste from one InDesign table to another without also copying formatting?

I'm attempting to paste information from one indesign document to another, but the styles are different. Pasting without formatting not working in a table. When I paste over, it retains the container style from the original table.
I have "Text Only" selected from my Clipboard Handling preferences, so I'm not sure what else to do. I know I can hit escape to switch to the text selection instead of a container, but this only selects the text from one cell. I'd like to copy over the entire table, instead of copying cell by cell.
How can I paste a table into another, without copying the formatting?

Copy/Paste whole cells will always retain formatting.
What you have to do is: Copy/Paste Without Formatting the text contents of the individual cell.
You have to do that individually for each cell, if you want to copy over text of a whole table.
A better approach would be to:
1. Copy the whole table to Excel (or a different spread sheet application)
2. Copy again from that
3. Select one single cell and paste
In that case "Text Only" should be selected from the Clipboard Handling Preferences.

I can no longer copy/paste artwork after v10.5.1

The bulk of my library are teaching cd's from the same author. For most iTunes cannot find any info so I have been able to copy/paste the album artwork. Suddenly in v 10.5.1 I can no longer copy artwork.

I have discovered a work around.
Select an album that does have artwork you want to copy.
Drill down to the track level and select a track.
File > Get Info and select the 'Artwork' tab.
Select the artwork and Command-c to copy.
Now back to the iTunes grid display and select an album and right-click in the artwork viewer and paste.

Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
All of your media should be in iTunes already.
If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.

After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages. I used to be able to select multipule cells in a row (such as company name, address, etc.) then paste and match style on to a pages letter. I found the paste and match style option in the edit menu, however it will only work one cell at a time. Before the update is was working great.

For diagnosing purpose thy the procedure in a new user account and see if it works there. You create a new user account in the System Preferences > Accounts. If it works in the new account it is probably a corrupt plist file that needs to be deleted.

Why, when I paste my selection in a new layer, is it 10 times larger than when I copied it?

Hi,
Thanks for your response to my question. What is the best way to adjust to match resloutions of pictures/photos, etc in PSE 12. I am trying to layer photos and selections from photos but when I cut and paste, sometimes I get this HUGE image that doesn't even come close to fitting on the screen.
Thanks!

You need to understand pixels better know what is going on when you do things. All pixels are not created equal. Some have better quality the others.
When you have a camera that take captures 3000x2000 px for an image and you have a good lens and exposure setting you wing up with 6,000,000 quality pixels for your image.
If you resample that image for the web to fit within 300x200 pixels you wind up with a 60,000 high quality web size image. Or a high quality image that will fit on your display at its resolution. The images resoultion setting is meanless for displays use their resolutuin they do not support image print DPI resolution setting. And Displays do not hava a 72DPI resolution.
So when your post processing think about Pixels DPI is meaningless except when you use a unit based on DPI like inches. However also remember Displays do no support the images print dpi resolution. The only time 1" on display equal 1" in print is when the images print resolution is the same as the display you are using. All displays do not have the same resolution/ Most desktop displaye are around 100DPI that is changing and Laptop and tablets can have resolution above 300DPI. So what will nor fit on your displat may well fix on a laptop or tablet.
DPI is actual pixel size 100DPI pixels a 1/100" x 1/100" = 10,000 per square inch 300DIP 1/300"x 1/300" 90,000 px per sq inch.
The same number on pixels image on a 300dpi display is 9 time larger on a 100Dpi display. What may not fit one your low resolution display may fit on the same size high resolution display for the display displays more pixels then your display can.
If you resample that 300x200 web size image to back to a 3000x2000 pixel image for print you wind up with 6,0000,000 lower quality pixels.
Though the 300X200 pixels image was a high quality web size image much of the original 6,000,000 image quality was reduced in the 300x200 px image. Much of the detail you had in the original 6,000,000 pixels image was discarded in the process. The new 6,000,000 pixels image was made only from a 60,000pixel image they were not captures using a camera exposure. The camera had the actual real detail in front of it to capture. All the computer had were 300x200 pixels it has to add details for the larger image and it does by interpolating the 300x200px image.
Preserve the pixel you get from your cameras. They are the highest quality pixels you will ever have for your images. Every time you resample an image up or down in number of pixels you loose some image quality. Not one of the original pixels remain intact you wind up with a totally new image created by interpolating the old image. Do not save the new image over the old image and loose your good high quality pixels.

I am trying to copy a document and I keep getting the error "Can't paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area."

I am trying to make duplicate documents with minor adjustments to each and when I try to copy the artwork from one document and paste it into the new document I keep getting the error "Can't paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area." Both documents are exactly the same size, res, color format etc. I even tried to drag and drop and get the same error message. Anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?

Try scaling the view size down to 6% or so and then do a Select All. See if there are objects off the artboard which may be causing this error. Most often you will see this if there were guides dragged from a ruler which were selected by dragging the white arrow and then deleted. This leaves the anchor points at the edge of the work area.

I can't paste nor copy using IDLE with Python 2.7. Can somebody fix the problem

I can't paste nor copy using IDLE with Python 2.7.
Can somebody fix the problem

I just launched IDLE for Python 2.7.2 on Mac OS X 10.8.4.
The defaults for IDLE assume a PC environment and not Mac, thus it was expecting control+c, control+v for copy and paste. Under the IDLE Options menu, Configure IDLE...
Under the Keys tab, Use a built-in key set, select IDLE Classic Mac. Now command+c, command+v work.
Since I didn't want to squint, I set my Font to Ubuntu Mono 14 pt.
I applied these settings and clicked ok.
I successfully copied from a terminal window and pasted into IDLE with no issue.

Can't cut copy paste; all grayed out?

I just download a movie from an archive site. I chose mpg-1 as the compression and sent it to my movies under applications. I opened it up and the file read .mov. I then opened it up to cut away un-needed parts by using the slider clips. When I got to edit, the cut, paste, copy, trim selection options are grayed out. I have QT Pro and am using QT 7.0.4 I'm a little new at this. What can I do other than opening it in imovie because that keeps the entire file in place. Any ideas?
Foodster

I chose to download a mpg file. It reads as a .mov after download. Shouldn't QT work? Or is it not really a .mov file?<<</div>
It is downloaded as an mpeg file but when you used the browser plug-in you apparently chose "Save as Quicktime Movie." That puts a QT or .mov wrapper around the file. If you choose "Save as Source." the downloaded file should be saved exactly as the file was on the sending site.
Even though the file may have a .mov icon it is still an mpeg inside the QT wrapper. QT will not support the editing of the file or allow the export of sound to any new format. QT Mpeg Limitations

Assuming Windows...
You can, assuming you select around the pixels you want to copy, and the selected region isn't too large.
There are a variety of ways you can get the copy operation wrong, e.g., by not having the proper layer selected or similar.
And there's a secret setting to enable Photoshop to export its clipboard no matter how large the selected pixel set is. Note the setting I have bolded below. Keep in mind that by making this setting you may be subjecting all the software on your computer that registers to receive clipboard data to datasets that are larger than it might expect. In other words, there could be a downside. That being said, I haven't had any problems on my Windows 8 system.

Is there any way I can get a past copy of a work plan without performing restoration.

Is there any way I can get a past copy of a work plan without performing restoration. I do not want to perform restoration because if I do so the current version of
the plan will get over ridden. I think if I publish the current version of the plan with a different name and then perform restoration it will not override the current version of the plan.

Jurassic Park --
I do not understand what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to create a duplicate of the current enterprise project, but with a different name? If so, there is one pretty simple way to do this. Open the enterprise project and
click File > Save As. In the Save to Project Server dialog, click the Type pick list and select Template. Edit the name for this temporary enterprise template so that it is different from the project name, and then click the Save button.
In the Save as Template dialog, do not select any of the checkboxes and then click the Save button. When the system finishes saving the project as a template, close the project. Now click File > New > Project Server Template. Select
the template you just saved and then click the OK button. You now have an exact copy of your project, ready for you to save and publish. Hope this helps.

(v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?
