Copy object to clipboard from pages 5.5.2

I'm trying to copy a text box object from Pages 5.5.2 to the clipboard so that I can "open new from clipboard" in Preview, but it won't copy the object to the clipboard properly. If I save the file as a .pdf, open it in photoshop, and do a "copy", it goes to the clipboard from Photoshop and can be opened "new from clipboard" in Preview from there...but not from Pages. I just upgraded to this version of Pages. This used to work fine, but not now. Please help.

The problem is partly Pages 5.5.2 but mostly Yosemite.
Yosemite is converting the contents of the clipboard to 72dpi bitmap which looks quite blurry at the destination.
Rate/review both Pages 5.5.2 and Yosemite in the App Store. They are what they are. Largely downgrades in workability.

Paste is only pasting a text field instead of an image copied to the clipboard from another program like mail or safari?

The latest version of Keynote only pastes a blank text field after copying an image to the clipboard in other applications like mail or Safari. The previous version worked fine with copying and pasting images. Saving the image to a file and then inserting the image file is the only work-a-round I have found so far.

To place an image on a slide, use Finder to drag and drop the file onto the slide.

I can't copy and then paste from page. Anybody know why?

Having written a long article in Page, I find that when I try to copy and paste it doesn't work, When I paste the article disappears as if i deleted it. Anybody know why?

Hi Fourbrick,
Use Menu > Edit > Undo (command z) to undo and get back to how your document was before that article disappeared. When you are reasonably happy with what you have, Save the document.
More information will help. What are you doing to Copy and Paste? Please list all the steps. What kind of Pages document are you working on? Is it a Word Processing document or a Page Layout document? Tell us what Template you started with. What version of Pages? What did you select to Copy? To where are you Pasting?
Please reply.
Regards,
Ian.

How do I copy a document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

How do I copy an entire document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

Can I drag/drop text from Pages to a video in iMovies?

I want to insert in a video clip in iMovies a brief textual from Pages. How do I do it?

You can copy and paste text from Pages into a Title in iMovie.
As an aside, you can create slides in Keynote with a green background and use the in iMovie with the green screen effect. I have some examples if you are interested.

How to copy objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution?

I recently have bought a new Macbook Pro (Version 10.10.1) with the OS X Yosemite. The computer comes with the new Pages (version 5.5.1).
Here is the problem: I like to create artwork using the shapes on Pages. Previously, on my old mac, I used Pages 4.3 to create objects, which I would copy then paste to Photoshop and it would become a vector smart object. However, in the new Pages (version 5.5.1), when I copy objects, they would appear on Photoshop as instead, a layer and it would not be in full resolution.
Also, I know there is nothing wrong with the Pages file itself because I have converted the document to PDF form and it is high resolution when inserted into Photoshop that way.
Does anyone know how I can copy individual objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution as I have done before?
Thanks!

Oh, well if you don't actually need vector objects then it looks like this is possible. As I said earlier, Pages is putting a PNG on the clipboard. I tested it and it does paste into Photoshop as a transparent layer, because I can see the transparent background of the pasted PNG graphic if I either turn off all layers behind it in Photoshop, or if I start a new Photoshop document to paste into but make sure I choose Transparent for the Background Contents in the New Document dialog.

How do I copy text and objects from pages to and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email

Anyone know how I copy text and objects from pages and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email, thanks

You can't expect Mail to support all the objects of Pages which can include anything up to charts generated from spreadsheet tables.
Even if Mail was a superset of Pages, what would the recipients who don't have either Mail or Pages, make of it?

Low-quality copy (to the clipboard) in Keynote and Pages

Hello,
I am running Keynote 6.5 under OS 10.10 on MacBook Air. Just after updating to Yosemite I have noticed that if I copy (command-c) something from Keynote (say, some text, or a graphic) and try to paste it outside (in Preview, or in Word) I get a low-quality image (bitmap rather than vector). It was not like this before. Also, I have verified that this problem is limited to Keynote and Pages; i.e., copying something out of (e.g.) Powerpoint works perfectly (vector image).
Anyone can help?

I can confirm this is also a problem with Numbers. Anything copied out of the iWork apps appear to lose the ability to be pasted as a .PDF, even in applications that can accept the higher quality .PDF format. (In looking into it, there's additional weirdness I'm seeing related to iWork and the clipboard, but that's for elsewhere).
At this time, the only possible thing you can do to get high quality output from Keynote is to Export as a PDF, then open that and crop it.
Just to help a bit more, when you check Preview for how to crop a PDF, the help is incorrect. The command you're looking for is not
Choose View > Show Edit Toolbar,
it's
Choose View > Show Markup Toolbar
However, I haven't tried to see if you can get PDF's without backgrounds... checking now
I've also confirmed that Keynote '09 can still produce .PDF's from copied content. And, I am using a MacBook Pro.

Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2

Working on a Mac in OSX 10.4.11, I was able to select and copy objects in an open Illustrator CS2 file and paste them into an open FreeHand 11.0.2 file, where they would be fully editable. After migrating to OSX 10.6.2 and upgrading to CS3, this no longer works - the objects selected and copied from Illustrator either do not appear (only corner indicators are visible) or a pale version appears as an uneditable low-rez image with funny colors....
Because there are so many missing features in Illustrator, it's important for me to be able to work back and forth between the two apps. Has anyone been able to achieve this (formerly) simple interactivity?

I got the following post from Danny Haas:
If you go to Edit>Special>Paste Special and then select AI/EPS from the list
it should paste just fine. It works well for me.
Worked for me too, although text was not imported as editable text. To do
that had to special paste the text separately as unformatted text, and then
reformat in FH.

I skipped AICS3, but now use AICS4 for some tasks.
The only solution I've found is to save the AI CS4 file as AI 8, open that
in FHMX and copy from there.

Is it possible to keep the outline auto formatting from Pages when copying and pasting that outline to the Presenter Notes on Keynote?

I have been using my iPad for my notes, but I want to start using it as a remote for my macbook. When I copy and paste the notes into the Presenter Notes section of Keynote on the macbook, it unformatted. Any bullet point formatting that I do on my macbook is not showing on my iPad's Remote view Presenter Notes. Is there a way to create consistency here that does not involved formatting each one separately?

Use Drag and Drop
Have both applications open side by side
select the text in Pages
with the mouse drag the text from pages into presenter Notes pane in Keynote

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ? I use HP wireless printer .

Are you sure you have the right printer?
In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

I am unable to copy and paste text from mozilla, clipboard error

Hi-
It seems I am suddenly unable to copy and paste anything from mozilla into other text editors (word, wordpad, notepad).
I am unable to use ctrl c or v, when trying to do Edit-copy or paste it seems as though nothing is "recognized" by Mozilla.
I'm using a netbook running Win7.
In an effort to fix this problem I restarted firefox, started in safe mode, disabled all plugins, returned to default settings, and have done basically everything except for uninstalling and reinstalling.
Are there suggestions? I looked in older posts, but I also do not have the pushow.dll(or something like it) or the new.net(or comparable) malware so I cant get rid of that either.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Firefox button > Web Developer > Error Console or {Ctrl + Shft + J} from the keyboard
Do you have any messages relating specifically to that error? <br />
You can right-click a message and use Copy to get that message into the clipboard - and then Paste it here. (If that works.)
Beyond that, try a new Profile (don't Delete your current Profile). <br />

Can I use a different mail client to "Send a Copy" from Pages?

One of my favorite Pages features is its ability to send someone a copy of your document in Pages, Word, PDF, or ePub format via email with only a couple clicks in the "Share" button. But this feature only works if Mail, Apple's email client, is set as the default email client for your Mac. Because I use Unibox as my email client, I'm unable to take advantage of the "Send a Copy" feature in Pages. Is there a work around for this or a settings file within the system I can tweak to allow me to use a mail client other than Apple Mail to "Send a Copy" from Pages? Thank you!

No, I haven't heard that. YOu have to do it the old fashion way and attach a document in your mail client before sending the mail.
