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.

  • Is it possible to have copy to clipboard take entries in text boxes on a fillable form as well as the form fields Windows?

    Is it possible to have copy to clipboard take entries in text boxes on a fillable form as well as the form fields in Adobe Reader Windows? When I create the forms is there some javascript or possibly a setting that would allow the end user to copy to clipboard the form fields and their entered text. Or another option that would work is to have only the entries in the text boxes copy to clipboard. Is that even possible?

    Copying fields is not possible in Reader.

  • Copy to Clipboard or email Rich Text

    Hi all,
    I'm running into a problem where I'm unable to preserve the
    formatting of a text string when copying to the clipboard, or when
    putting the string into the body of an email. What I've got is some
    text inside of a RichTextEditor tag and I've got two buttons.
    One button is used to send as an email (using a function that
    uses the navigateToURL). When I send as an email, I'm putting the
    text from the RichTextEditor into the BODY portion of the email.
    However, when the email opens, all of the formatting is stripped
    (line breaks, bold, italics, tabs). In the past I was able preserve
    the line breaks by putting something in my mailto to preserve the
    linebreaks. Unfortunately, I don't have the old code anymore and
    can't remember what the heck I did.
    Another to copy the text to the clipboard (using
    setClipboard). When I copy the text string to the clipboard, it's
    the same thing as the first button. All formatting is stripped.
    Any help on what to do to preserve the formatting (at least
    the line breaks) in both cases would be great.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    your home page to get into your Web site should be index.html (for Mac) or index.htm  (on PC)
    You can name it something other than index, but will be harder to find.  when you create the subjects and link to them, they can can be named anything with the html extension  Or if your using PHP end in .php. There is a Microsoft type asp or aspx but your hosting service has to set up using windows server system.
    My hosting service use a Linux server normally but can convert Windows for a Fee.  UNIX Linux has no concept of asp or aspx.

  • 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.

  • There was an error while copying to Clipboard. An internal error occurred.

    Hello
    I'm running a Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 environment, based on Windows Server2003 and providing Adobe Reader as a published application (this issue appears with Adobe Reader 7 and Adobe Reader 8 equally).
    Sometimes when trying to copy test from a pdf document, the error message "There was an error while copying to Clipboard. An internal error occurred." appears. The selected text is still copied to the clipboard, so the message seems to be more of a warning, but it's confusing for the end-users. This happens equally when copying via 'Ctrl-C' or with the mouse (right-click & copy).
    It is not a problem with the document itself since sometimes the error appears and sometimes not on the same document. This happens for all documents I've tried so far.
    Additional information: On the servers also MS Office 2003 SP3 is installed. I have the feeling that it may be an interference with the Office Clipboard, but I can't put my finger on it...
    Please, has anyone found a solution for this?
    Thanks

    in windows 7
    start-control panel-uninstall programs
    uninstall the "Skype Click to Call", this will uninstall addins from ie, firefox, you dont have to uninstall skype.
    in ie and firefox you can disable addons but can not uninstall them using ie or firefox interface, when you uninstall Skype Click to Call, it will remove it from all added browsers.
    This works me now.
    Edit 1:
    Unfortunately skype trick does not work.
    I recently switched to windows 8 and reliazed that there is no copy error any more.
    Edit2:
    This error maybe caused by Babylon dictionary which has an Adobe Acrobat or Reader addon which captures the text from pdf documnet when ctrl+right mouse click. This feature is enabled when it is copied to" C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\plug_ins " or  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins " directory, so if it is copied such copying error appeared, if not copied it does not appear. Baylon dictionary addin is installed when you install babylon dictionary software, and it is here " C:\Program Files (x86)\Babylon\Babylon-Pro\Utils ", its name is " BabylonRPI.api "
    Edit3:06-April-2013
    My experience is that Babylon Dictionary was causing this error. With babylon version 10 acrobat does not give that kind of error anymore, on windows 7 x64, but previous version leftover files may cause this error again even if you remove previous versions and install version 10. With a clean install of windows 7 x64 with babylon dictionary version 10 there is no error anymore.Uninstalling previous versions of Babylon using third party uninstalling software like Revo or Uninstall Tool may help without reinstalling Windows.

  • 10g: "Copy to Clipboard" in error dialog

    I like the "Copy to Clipboard" button in the error dialog in JDev 10g. Great idea!
    It appears, though, that line breaks in the exception stack are not preserved in the copied text. I think it would help readability if they were preserved.

    This was an error dialog that appeared in the Business Components Diagram after I performed a right-click->Show->Related Elements action on an entity object dropped onto the diagram. I am unable to reproduce that particular error, but hopefully this gives you enough info to determine which dialog I'm talking about.

  • Java app to save html source and copy to clipboard

    I'm new to Java, and I'm doing a research paper which requires gathering data from the internet. I basically need to learn commands to create an app (which I will execute on a daily basis using Windows scheduler) to do the following task:
    1. Access a specific URL
    2. Save the HTML source as a text file
    3. Copy some of the text in the saved text file to the clipboard in Windows
    4. Paste this data in Excel
    5. Run a macro in Excel to sort the data
    I know enough VBA and Excel functions to parce the data, but if it is easier to use Java to sort the data into columns and rows in Excel, I would like to learn how to do that too.
    I'm running Windows XP. My friend tells me to download Dr. Java to edit .java files and also the SDK to compile the files. He also told me to find modules from the internet which I can use, but I'm not sure how to go about it. (I tried searching on the net but didn't get the hits I wanted.)
    Any help at this point would be much appreciated.

    If your target html is so fancy and complicated(table cell contain another table) or the table miss some <tr> or <td> tags, dividing the table into rows and column can be a difficult task.
    I recommend you choose the website with high download speed. Otherwise, you have to write more code to handle any loading failure.
    I recommend you use httpunit to get webpage with Java program. (There is usually proxy server in University, you can config the parameter for proxy server in the Java program calling httpunit)
    http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/
    It will take some times to learn those Java technique.

  • "Import from Text File" & "Upload from Clipboard" icon not appearng in F110

    Hi Experts,
    While making the payment to the vendors through TN F110, in "PARAMETER" screen just next to 'STATUS' screen, there is a vendor field for selection in range and just ahead of this there is an icon for multiple vendor selection ( Bold arrow mark ). If I click on that multiple vender selection icon ( on bold arrow mark ), an another screen opens for multiple selection for vendors. In this screen 'Enter, Copy, Delete etc' icons are appearing at the bottom of the screen but "Import from Text File" & "Upload from Clipboard" icon are not appearing there.
    Can you please let me know how to bring that icons there?
    Points would be awarded.
    Rgds,
    Shailesh

    Hi Ravi,
    I have not yet created anything and have just entered the parameter. In the multiple screen for vendors there are 5 fields for individual and 5 for range selection. Even you can put more than five range selections or individual selections by clicking on the page button but there I am not finding these two icons.
    Can you please check at your end and let me know if you are getting or what to do to bring those two icons in F110.
    Rgds,

  • Copy to clipboard is  Copying Global GL Account

    Since tap or double tap is the way copy and paste works everywhere else on the iPhone it seems very strange that in this case the copy function operates in such a different manner. I wonder how many other people miss it like me and think it must be absent because of that difference.
    No completely accurate. Tap and hold is how copy/paste/select functions work on the iPhone. A single tap does not do this. In most cases, a double tap will zoom. In a few cases, a double-tap will copy, but only when the text is isolated, i.e. in a text message box. In this same case, a tap and hold works also.
    In summary, tap and hold works in all cases I've run across.

  • Copy To Clipboard In Safari

    Is it just me or does copy to clipboard not work in Safari? Copying from web sites is essential and pasting data into forms etc seems a convenience, yet I cannot copy. Why?

  • Clipboard.autocopy=false in about:config, - no effect. selecting text still copies to clipboard

    I have a custom firefox extension that grabs data from the clipboard, as well as selected text from the firefox document. Problem is, every time I select text, it overrides the clipboard data with selected text data. The clipboard always mirroring my text selection. I need to disable this. Or, ensure that selected text gets sent to primary clipboard, while firefox extension accesses clipboard. (I am assuming nsIClipboard pulls data from clipboard vs primary-clipboard).
    I am confident that selected text is being dumped into clipboard, and not into primary clipboard. Selected text always overrides whatever I copied using Ctrl + C command. Middle mouse click, or Ctrl + V output same thing.
    I have changed the default setting in about:config to clipboard.autocopy value= false. I have restarted my system and selected text still saves to clipboard. This issue does show up on this thread here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854565. But it is checked as solved. Apologies if this question should have been posted there. I am using Linux Mint 17, Firefox 32.0.3
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I have solved the problem. I first updated all my software, which had no effect. Then I realized another extension may be adding this functionality. And voila! I am pretty sure Fastest Search was the culprit. I disabled the addon, although, this feature can probably be turned off.
    I hope this helps any future users that face this same issue.

  • File Copy to Clipboard includes path - how to avoid

    I'm writing an Automator action that does several actions to whatever file in the Finder is selected (or right-clicked).
    The first action in the Automator action is Copy To Clipboard. This works, however, it copies the entire absolute path of the file (Macintosh HD:Users:myusername:Desktop:filename).
    I'd like it to only grab the actual filename, not the entire path. Is there a way to do that?

    add the following "run shell script" action before the action that copies the file to the clipboard:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #ADD8E6;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    for f in "$@"
    do
    basename $f
    done</pre>
    set to pass input as arguments for that action.
