Copy and paste error Illustrator cs5

Hello,
I am using Illustrator and Photoshop both cs5. When I attempt to copy any element from Illustrator and then paste it into Ps it seems like giving me the bounding box however it doesnt drop the exact element.
I tried dropping smart object it didnt work. I tried dropping pixels it didnt work. I tried dropping shape layer it works.
any solutions would be great.
Thanks
Omer

i tried just a plain rectangle with a gradient and without stroke.
thats all!
i ve been doing this since smart object introduced to Ps first time had this bug on cs5
*edit: i also tried various other elements like text, any path but no chance. Then i launched my legacy illustrator app cs4 and it just perfectly did the job..

Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
paste?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.

Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
Thank you!

Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

Copy and paste error - Text pastes at half-size.

Copy and paste error — Text pastes at half-size.
When I copy and paste text already in my photoshop document, the text retains the styling but the text size is exactly half of what it should be.
I'm using the most recent version of CS6. Thanks!

Ok, I found the issue.
http://d.pr/i/h48E
The text box was transformed by 200%, while other text boxes are at 100%. So when you copy a 200% into a 100% it's half. Makes no sense that this is a feature.

When I copy and paste from illustrator to PS regardless of option choosen the original shape size is lost, instead of true size shape tries to fill entire width. Fix?

When I copy and paste from illustrator to PS regardless of option chosen the original shape size is lost, instead of true size shape tries to fill entire width. Same happens when using the new library assets.
Fix?
Thanks

Can't always make sense of its effect, but I suspect what your seeing comes under the influence of Photoshop > Preferences > General > Options > Resize Image During Place

Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

Can't copy and paste in illustrator

For some reason, I can't copy and paste in Illustrator CC. Even choosing copy straight out of the edit menu doesn't work. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried closing out the program and reopening it, but it still doesn't work.

I'm having the same problem, but I'm trying to copy between Illustrator and Photoshop. I've done all the usual fixes-trashed prefs in both AICC and PSCC, restarted the computer, even downloaded and installed the latest updates to both apps. Copy and paste works within AI and within PS, so it appears to be a problem with the clipboard, but only the clipboard as it serves those two apps. Copy and paste works fine for Pages, MS Word and everything else. What is a clipboard enhancement, and what does its presence or absence indicate? What would it be called? I'll check the Activity Monitor, see if I can find it, then zap the P-RAM. If that doesn't work I'll have to call CC help. Any ideas?

Having problems copying and pasting in Photoshop CS5

Hi,
I'm running Photoshop CS5 on my laptop (Win 7) and desktop (Win 8).
When I have three documents open and open a New one, I can't get the others to copy and paste by keys or menus...not even by dragging to the new document.
Same thing happens in both version of Windows. The images are all jpgs, RGB, 8 bit.
Also, sometimes when I create a New doc, one of the other images suddenly disappear.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
Biff

You probably simply crash your graphics acceleration by exhausting all resources. Turn off openGL in the prefs and/or update your graphics driver.

Image editing in InDesign (copy and paste from Illustrator)

Hi
I have a scenario and I hope someone can clarify:
I work on a Mac using Adobe Illustrator & Indesign CS4. Whenever I copy and paste/drag an image from illustrator to Indesign, that particular graphic is uneditable in InDesign, and that is ok. I want it like that for the clerk/typists to use in their InDesign files.
However, on a PC with Vista, when the graphic is copied and pasted/dragged from illustrator to indesign, that graphic becomes editable using the direct selection tool in InDesign. What I want to know is if there is way to turn this off on the PC version like on a mac?
thank you in advance
Dee

Hi,
maybe the difference lies with the way Illustrator pastes the images.
Here with my trusty CS3 in the "File and clipboard preferences" (translated from the french) I have a choice of exporting the clipboard in PDF or AICB.
If I understand your message I would guess that the Mac exports as PDF and Vista exports as AICB.
A check of the preferences could help with that,
good luck.

Non responsive copy and paste in Illustrator CS6

Hello,
Since April we are using the Adobe Design suite CS6. We are experiencing some serious copy and paste issues. When our users try to copy some artwork and paste it into the same image again, it might occur that the system is non responsive to the action performed. Really nothing happens.
This happens in about 50% of the times. The other 50% the artwork will appear within a delay of about 5-10 seconds.
Anyone having similar issues? Of could point us to any working direction?

Hi Alexander,
You can follow the steps in the knowledge base document and try to delete the unwanted to content from the file.

Can't Copy and Paste into Illustrator CS3 from Firefox 3!

I read these things all the time, but first time posting, so you KNOW this problem is annoying me.
I could always copy and paste from Firefox 2 into Illustrator CS2/CS3. However, once I upgraded to Firefox 3 I no longer can! I get the annoying "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I can't believe more people aren't complaining more about this. Save your time posting about "Illustrator is a vector program, and Photoshop is pixel based," I know I have been able to do it before so that is not the issue. Any light that could be shed on the situation would be great! Thanks in advance.

I found that FF3 originally renamed .jpegs to the JFIF format when draging and dropping to the desktop, and it was not until March when the code was finalized that that you could drag and drop to your desktop without the conversion. You get around the illustrator CS3 problem a number of ways...drap and drop to the desktop and then to illustrator CS3, Drap and drop to photoshop CS3 and then to Illustrator CS3 or save as to the desk top, or use an older version of Firefox. I am currently tyring to determine if the JFIF renaming issue is what is preventing the direct drag and drop to Illustrator, and if there is a fix for issue. Any help out there or ideas would be helpful.

Copy and Paste Error Using Dymo Printer

I have small issue, I export invoices for my shop to Adobe Reader XI
I then Copy and Paste the names and addresses to my Dymo Labelwriter 450 to make address labels. I am using Mac with OS X
My Invoices have the Font, ADAM.CG, this is my default for my Dymo printer etc and also the font on my PDF document.
When I paste this into my Dymo with Cmd + V the text is pasted but in Helvetica instead!
Can anyone point me in the right direction to correct this, I know I can change each manually, but when I have many to do, this takes time.
I have been in contact with Dymo and they replicate the same issue and say they can't help and to contact Adobe.
Thanks,
John

It is a standard Magento PDF that is created, then opened in Adobe automatically by my Mac, then just use a standard copy and paste to my Dymo LabelWriter.

Copy and paste error after lasso

I take a picture and use a lasso tool, little ants moving around border, I go to edit-copy and get a error that says could not complete the copy command because no pixels selected. Cannot get pasted to a layer

Copy and paste error

Hello everybody!
I'm new user, and I've a question about Pages.
Well, when I copy a text from intenet page, using safari, and then try to paste, Pages doesn't paste all the selected test, but only a part of it...
Maybe someone knows why..?
Thanks
Alberto R Air

I never got that but maybe it's because I never paste directly.
As fruhulda wrote, often, what we get is not a piece of text but a table.
Alas, pasting a table doesn't generate line breaks so a part of the table may be hidden.
My own practice is simple :
Copy from a Web page
run my good old huge script :
set the clipboard to the clipboard as text
then paste.
This way, I paste a piece of text.
In a word processor document, if it doesn't fit in a single page, a second one is automatically created.

Applications that can copy and paste between Keynote?

I am looking for both graphic and web appliations that can copy and paste scalable elements between it and Keynote. I create a lot of graphics in Keynote and I am hoping to find editors that can handle those elements. I already own PowerPoint, and it does an OK job. I you have any suggestions, I would like to here it.

Shapes created in PowerPoint can be placed on to a Keynote slide using copy and Paste.
Illustrator is the number one vector application and Illustrator files can drag and drop on to the slide.
The HTML export from Keynote as you have discovered, is only designed to make simple HTML slide shows
see some free applications here:
