Cant' copy text with 9.2

i have been using adobe reader 6 for a long time and quite liked it because i could copy text from a pdf document and paste it into wordpad or other word processor. i often pick bits and pieces out of long pdf documents to create one with more concise makeup.  a lot of times i print a pdf document from the internet where i don't have a printer.
recently i found that on some pdf docs, i could not perform this copy feature. the icons were there to use but nothing happened when i tried to work on the pdf document.  so i thought maybe i needed a newer version.
just installed 9.2 and i cannot find how to do the same thing, has this feature disappeared with this version?
i did find where i could copy text but when i paste it into wordpad it is a file much like when one copies an image.
can anyone enlighten me on this topic?
if the text copy feature is gone..i am going to uninstall 9.2 and go back to my old version 6.

Still there. It's the same "select tool" as available in earlier versions. If you don't have it on your toolbar, right click in the toolbar area, select "more tools" then find the select tool and check it. You'll have it in your toolbar like before.

Sounds like it may look like text but is just an image of some text (like a scan).

  • Cant copy text and paste into google search box

    i like to copy text an paste instead of repeatedly typing and the paste function in the right click menu is greyed out. cant paste

    SUPPLEMENT TO MY PREVIOUS POST
    The copy and paste into dialog boxes works just fine.  I suspect that my earlier problem was due to not being familiar with the new computer's keyboard.  I am used to the CTRL key being located at the bottom left of the keyboard.  The new keyboard has the Fn key in that position.  I must have pressed Fn instead of CTRL.  The old habits die hard.  I feel like for not noticing this earlier.

  • Problem copying text with graphs from web pages

    I can't copy text+graph from webpages. Copying into Pages or Microsoft Word for Mac, the text is copied the graphs are not. (With Firefox, I can't even copy text!)
    I have Parallels, and on the Microsoft side I have no problem copying both text and graphs simultaneously.
    Could you, please, advice

    Thanks.It works-sort of. I can copy into TextEdit without problems. This is probably the solution by itself because I can save it. Copying into Words (from TextEdit) didn't work. Copying into Pages partially works: the graphs are reproduced but the layout comes out funny.
    Thank you

  • Copy text with keyboard

    I can paste using the keyboard (cmd-V), but I cannot copy with keyboard, ony through the dropdown menu. What's wrong? How do I fix it?

    yes, I am saying that. cmd-c is not working. cmd-v does work. cmd-x does work.
    when I do cmd-c and then try to paste it I get the last thing I copied with the drop-down menu copy option, or the last thing I ut using cmd-x, not what I w trying to copy and paste. cmd-c has effect.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 reade

    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?

  • I cant copy photo's out of iPhoto, I select them all but if I want to paste them for example to my nas or a folder on my macbook, the paste option wont appear. I tried with export, didnt work either. It used to work, but now all of a sudden it wont.

    I cant copy photos out of iphoto (event), I can copy them but if I want to paste them in another folder on my macbook or nas hdd, I dont have the option "paste" If I select some of the pic's it sometimes works.I also tried with export them but didnt work either.
    I used to load them into iphoto manged them and then simly copied them and saved them on my nas and/or my macbook's hdd in a folder, but now it wont work. I have now thousents of photo i cant copy, its a mess....
    it might be a problem with an update as I had also a mess with my music after updating to the latest itunes.
    has anybody an idea how to fix this??

    That warning sign comes up when iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original photos.  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How to copy Log text (with Date, Time stamp ) User IDfrom BP to Transaction

    Hi Experts,
                     Can someone guide us how  to copy Log text (with Date ,Time & User ID) fron Business partner  (Prospect) to transactions by text detrmination procedure.
    Regards,
    Basavaraj Patil

    save text
    Fill out following parameters of SAVE_TEXT function module:
    HEADER
    TDOBJECT C 10 BUT000
    TDNAME C 70 10 digit BP number
    TDID C 4 Z001
    TDSPRAS C 1 Language
    INSERT = ’X’
    LINES
    TDFORMAT TDLINE
    |
    |testtttttttttttttttttttttttt( Your text)
    I would suggest you to use some other BAPI that would attach your text to BP than SAVE_TEXT.
    If you still wanted to use SAVE_TEXT then first make sure how the TDNAME is generated. It depends on the text determination procedure. For examples, it can be guid of BP, GUID followed by date or time or else the BP number itself.
    Just go to BP transaction, double click on the text pad, it will open you the SAP Script editor. Click on menu GOTO and select Header which will give you info about your TDID, TDOBJECT, TDNAME....
    Hope this helps.
