Copy/Paste gradient becomes a blend?

If I copy/paste a gradient filled object between two Illustrator CS6 documents, the gradient becomes a blend. This doesn't happen however if just drag the object from one open document to another.
Is there a way to correct this copy/paste behaviour? Thanks.

Uau! I would never have thought of that one! That's exactly what it was. I use PTH Pasteboard which was causing the problem. It was also causing this problem: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4988279#4988279 which is now also solved!
I use PTH Pasteboard a lot but I guess I'll have to stop using it.
Thanks so much!

Copy/Paste From Illustrator CS6 to Photoshop CS6 Issues

Hi.
When copying a gradient filled shape from illustrator CS6 to photoshop CS6 an outline "halo" appears in the photoshop image although the shape has no outline to begin with. Is this a clipboard issue? Is it an anti-aliasing setting I can change? Apparently it isn't as noticeable when I drag the shape from illustrator to photoshop as it is when using the copy/paste command. But in both situations there seem to be issues in the border when gradient filled shapes touch other shapes. Please help if you know how.
Thank you.

In Illustrator, try a blue shape underneath the butted-together rotated rectangles so seams do not become apparent when rasterized.

Copy/paste opacity problem

I´m having this weir issue with objects that have gradients with opacity.
If I drag to copy, it´s makes a perfect copy. But if I copy/paste the object it becomes solid. This applys copy/paste in the same document and if I try to copy/paste into a new document.
This problem came with the upgrade to Illustrator CS6.
Anyone?
Mac OSX 10.7.5
Adobe Illustrator 16.0.4

Does not happen to me
MAC 10.8.4
AI 16.04
I have 2 gradient stops of white, (Opacity 100%, Opacity 0%), are yours the same?
Check your clipboard settings.

Fields don't recognize their value has changed when a copy/paste value in inputed

I'm having a minor hiccup with my copy and paste buttons.
I have check boxes that, when checked, make other fields visible. The copy/paste actions recognize when the check box value is 1 and paste accordingly in the new instance of the subform, however, the invisible fields do not become visible, despite the check box value being 1 in the new instance. I feel like I'm missing something simple....possibly something that forces the scripting within the check box field to run since it is not recognizing that it's value has changed? If I manually click the check box in the new instance, the scripting works and the invisible fields become visible so I know its not an issue with creating new instances.
Any suggestions will be appreciated...I am new to this...

Still interested in solving this issue....anyone? please?

Copy+paste issues in Flash CC 2014

Is anyone else having trouble copying and pasting code in Flash CC 2014? I typically work with smaller code blocks and then merge them into a master file, but that requires copy+paste. When I copy, it appears to copy (paste becomes highlighted) but I cannot paste in any way into the code. it's not working between documents, and not even working inside a single document.
Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be appreciated.
- Just confirmed, switching back to Flash Pro CS6 works just fine with copying and pasting, as long as the content on the clipboard is copied from Flash CS6 and not CC 2014. I cannot copy anything from Flash CC 2014 into another Flash document.

It's in the code area, and I tried pasting it (didn't show anything) and then executing the code, and it didn't do anything.
I then tried creating a text area on the page, and went to the Edit menu - and "Paste Special" was the only available option. So I tried that, and it says "Source: Unknown Source" and the only option I have is to Cancel.
I then went into Flash CS6, and copied a line of code from that. I tried pasting it into the Flash CC 2014 actions console, and it did nothing. I then went back to my text area (still in Flash CC 2014) and it pasted the code in there fine.
So, it looks like I still cannot copy from or paste into the actions panel Flash CC 2014, which is what I need. But, maybe this sparks another idea? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Copy/Paste graphic w/drop shadow to indesign - loses transparency

See above image.. I made a vector version of our company logo in illustrator (all programs referenced are cs5 btw) and it looks great, but when I copy and paste from Illustrator to InDesign, it loses the transparency around the logo. If I place the logo instead, it works fine. The trouble is there are about 16 variations of the logo, and its MUCH easier to copy/paste from one aggregate file instead of having many different logo files to place.
Background on how the logo was created: The inner circle area is multiple different gradient layers (some with transparency masks as well). The white line around the outside is an expanded stroke, and it had a drop shadow effect applied (Stylize menu), which I expanded so it would scale properly when scaling the logo up and down. Here is a link to download the logo: download logo
Q: Is there any way to make InDesign preserve the transparency when I copy and paste?
Would be eternally grateful if someone has a solution that allows me to copy/paste!

I agree with Bob's suggestion to use separate "layer groups" in your logo file for different styles. I also use separate layers inside InDesign to "multi-purpose" company documents with different backgrounds, graphics, and content. But that's the only way I use layers inside InDesign – Not for general placement of image files! I also disagree with ability to copy and paste graphics from Illustrator with drop shadow. Here's an .ai logo which I quickly added Drop Shadow to in Illustrator CS4, and then a Copy and Paste into InDesign CS4 document. Best workflow practice is to 'Place' image files as Bob suggests, linking them from a separate file folder.
For something "quick and dirty" I see no problem with Copy and Paste, but your success may vary based on OS, and CS versions you are using! Sometimes it is wiser to take a few shortcuts to hit rather than miss that deadline!

Copy & Paste Flash- Illustrator

I'm having a lot of trouble copying artwork from Flash into
other vector-based programs. It seems like what's happening is that
it's dropping a bunch of vertices and/or only transfering straight
lines instead of curves. For instance, I have
this symbol in
Flash. When I copy and paste it into Illustrator I get
this. As I'm
sure you can see, it completely drops the dark line at one end
(which is technically a shape, not a line), and it mangles the
shape of the main piece.
I'm using Flash 8 and Illustrator CS but I'm pretty sure it's
a problem in Flash. I have the same problem when I copy from Flash
8 into Flash MX 2004. I _don't_ have this problem, though, when
copying from MX 2004 to other programs.
Here are the settings from Flash 8's Clipboard preferences
panel (though I don't think any of these should have any bearing on
this problem):
Color Depth: Match Screen
Resolution: 300 dpi
Size Limit: 1000Kb
"Smooth" is checked
Gradient Quality: Normal
Freehand text: maintain as blocks

flash 8 and AI are 2 different apps developed (at the time)
by 2 different companies - so copy/paste
between them isn't directly supported but you may get lucky
depending on the artwork.
Just export from flash to eps or AI - then open in AI.

Bridge copy/paste renames files?

I've noticed that if I copy and paste a file in Bridge CS5 - the resulting new file has its name converted to all lowercase. As we use specific job numbers to name our files, this is most inconvenient behavior. What is going on? Am I doing something wrong?

Tai Lao,
I'm not convinced that this "goes through RAM" or in particular, though the clipboard…
Thank you, Richard Wagner. That's an interesting theory for the Bridge engineers to deny or confirm, indeed. It's still a workflow I would never want to adopt.
You really don't need the engineers. If you select the root of one filename in Bridge and copy (command-C), then switch to the Finder and Show Clipboard, you will see the copied text of the filename. On the other hand, if you select one or more files (not just the filename) and do the same, you will see that the clipboard is not overwritten. You cannot, for example, "copy and paste" a file to the desktop or to another application. Internally, Bridge understands the context of what the user is trying to do and invokes the appropriate code. File copies and especially moves would be extremely inefficient if Bridge had to open each file and load it into RAM, then write the file to the destination. It would also have to track and do the same for XMP files, etc. Without question Bridge is "smart enough" to use file-based system calls for file-based operations. I selected 100 files and did "copy/paste" and the time takes was identical to "duplicate files" and it's essentially identical to the same operation in the finder.
Although this is not a workflow that I use, I don't see anything inherently "wrong" with it. Just another way to accomplish the same thing.

Copy Paste On Tabular Form

I have a great need to produce an APEX (version 2.2.1) tabular form in
which users would be able to do Excel-like copy/paste of tabular form
fields from one part of the form to another.
For example, a user would want to somehow (ideally highlight with the mouse - not sure if this is possible) select the first 2 rows of the form and then
copy/paste these to, say, rows 7 and 8, overwriting any values in
those form fields. Or, select field 2 (this would be on row 2) under column A and then copy/paste this field to, say, fields 3 through 10 under the same column A.
I am currently trying to do this using javascript, but am not sure how to go
about it and would appreciate any help or advice.
Thank you very much.
Elie

Hello Vikas.
Thank you very much for creating your sample page. I liked the way you're
duplicating entire rows in the form.
I'm sorry for not responding sooner. I have been under the gun, sort-to-speak
at my work place. I've been playing with another tool (explained below) to see
if it could help me out with my application.
The issue before me is that users need the flexibility of an Excel like interface
in which they are able to do any sort of copy/paste/fill operations as desired
prior to submitting their changes to Oracle. This kind of functionality is what
I've been trying to, if not duplicate, at least get part way there in Apex. And
this is what spurred me on to post my question to you and to this Forum.
I went ahead and dabbled my way through all sorts of javascript (learned an awful lot, I might add) and have come up with a sample tabular form in which I'm able
to copy a single form field to any selected row / column combination in the form.
I've copied my app ( App 19379, Page 12 ) up to the Apex forum.
Here's the link:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn
Workspace = play
Login username = [email protected]
Login password = playtoo
Originally, this app brought up a second page (Paste Page) as a popup in which
users could select which columns and rows they wanted to copy a form field to.
They would then click a "Go" button on this Paste popup page. This "Go" button
would then run a javascript function "do_paste()" in the calling page. This function
would copy the form field to the designated columns and rows. This worked fine.
However, I wanted a solution in which everything is entirely on a single page
rather than having a popup page appear.
And so, I modified my page 12 so that the user could designate the target
columns and rows entirely on the same page (page 12), and so, eliminate
the popup page.
This works to a point.
The user first clicks "Copy". This displays (via a javascript function) the
contents of the selected form field in a text box. This also displays the
target fields "From Column", "To Column", "From Row", "To Row".
The Copy button is replaced with a "Go" button. The user then designates
target columns and rows and clicks "Go". This causes the selected form
field to be copied to the designated targets.
Unfortunately, clicking the "Go" button also causes the page to be submitted.
This submit operation causes the form to be refreshed which then completely
erases the copy action and the form ends up with the original data. The user
does not see that anything has happened. However, under the wraps, my
javascript do_paste() function was invoked but then it's result was reversed
by the submit action.
I do not know how to get around this submit action (which refreshes the form,
thereby reversing my do_paste() function). I could, of course, bring back the
popup page. The paste does work with that. I was just hoping I could do the
copy/paste all on one page.
In any case, this represents my current state with respect to an Apex solution
to my need.
I did in the meantime find another interesting solution to my problem.
Years ago in another job I had worked with a tool called Oraxcel (now
called SQLXL - www.oraxcel.com). This tool is an add-in into Excel and provides an API between Excel and Oracle (as well as various other dbms systems: mysql, sql server, db2, etc.).
Well, I downloaded a free trial copy and have been playing with it.
In a nutshell, I can now allow users to continue using Excel to do
copy/paste/fill operations and provide [ via VBA buttons and macros
that interface with Oracle - actually it is using Oracle's product "Oracle
Objects For OLE (OO4O) ] them the ability to upload the excel data (new and
modified and deleted rows) to Oracle tables, download from Oracle tables (from a package/ref cursor or a table), create Excel LOVs that are dynamically populated from Oracle, and provide validations run from a package and display error
messages to the Excel page.
In effect, Excel becomes the "front end" to my Oracle schema.
As it turns out, in my particular application, Apex pages still play a critical role
as users need to interface with these as well. However, the SQLXL product
appears to be a neat solution allowing users Excel like flexibility to copy,
paste, fill, and other operations that Excel does so well while still interfacing
with Oracle.
Am still playing with this tool and built a small "proof of concept".
In any case, thank you again so much for your help and your sample page.
I would like to incorporate the neat way you're duplicating rows in the form
as I believe this will come in handy in naother APEX app I'm currently
working on in another project at my work place.

Copy/Paste disabled within filenames

(Before coming to any conclusions, the computer I'm referencing to is not my own and is not related at all to my information at the bottom of the post)
Basically, Copy/Paste functions are disabled when editing file names (Such as folders and files). Is there anything that could be causing this? The operating system is v10.5.8.

If you aren't actually editing the file name, copying it is sometimes tricky.
You'll know when you are editing it, when the box around the name becomes a black outline around some colored highlighted text. Usually you have to click inside the file name. Of course locked files won't let you rename, and files written to CD and DVD won't either.

IDSCS5.5 How to determine if a pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator

Hi,
My flow is as follows:
- Open document in IndesignServer
- (XML)Tag every pageitem with our custom IndesignServer plugin (c++ SDK)
- If pageItem is a group, tag every member separately
- save/close the document
My problem is:
- If pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator and pageitem has a gradient fill => IndesignServer crashes while tagging.
- Copy/pasted illustrator items with plain colorfills work fine.
Note that:
- Copy pasted pageitems from illustrator with a gradient fill are considerated as group in Indesign.
- The gradient fill of Illustrator is not recognized as such in Indesign ( I could only test with Illustrator CS4).
- The lack of color information in that situation is not enough to consider the object as "from Illustrator".
My question:
- How can i determine if the origin of the pageitem is Illustrator? (I have no control on the creation of the document).
I know this is a hard one...
Thanks in advance for any usefull input!
Bart Devos.

Appearance - Copy, paste, drag to other objects and enhance

Palette appearance in Ai CS4 is a step in the right direction.
There is missing me:
1. The ability drag&drop individual feature from palete Appearance to add this feature to
other objects in artboard. Or select features in palete appearance and copy and paste in to appearance other objects!
2. In the appearance pallet in the selected object name is missing me another popup palette graphic styles for add style. Could also add a function redefinuj style changed according to values, as well as style in the texts Innd.
3 Stroke Wieight view instead of a variety as in the Control bar + art brush selection
Palette as a popup could also appear when I click add in the stroke palette appearance.
4. In palete appearance shows Opacity word why why can not quickly adjust this feature for example, by the roll or write the number? You have to click and invoke popup palette. ;(
It would be at the end of an easy way to copy the effects and etc.. between objects.
And finally the possibility of departure of thousands of popup pallets to display as an extension of the necessary extensions to existing tools.
In addition to the properties of cool interactive Internet also can be added and monitored as the feature of that object
In fact, you do not have to be to build a Control Panel or Control Panel is used to extend the use of tools such as distribute;)
What do you think?
Can someone also so mean?
P.S.
In the Stroke palette is still too much space to place the stroke, as well as attributes such as:
- Stroke overprint
- path directions
- add arrowhaed

I started having this problem as well within the past few days. It seems that this is startingto become a bigger issue since the release of 10.5.4 and the MobileMe service. Most of the posts I've found in the past few days have been either in late 2002/early 2003 with Jaguar and within the past 10 days or so. That being said I am having the same issue. This is what I've found thus far.
- Can't copy/paste, doesn't work with key combos or menus
- Can't Drag/drop, completely unable to move files or folders around
- iDisk disappeared
- Can't sync to MobileMe
- Spotlight.app had wrong permissions, d--------
Deleted all recommended files and still no luck. I would love to backup and reinstall but again, can't copy files. So there is a bit of an issue here. Any help would be great!

Copy/paste images from photoshop to illustrator

I often edit photos for print publication in photoshop and copy/paste them in to .eps files for resizing and use by our printers.
I have experienced problems with colours not being accurate/rasterizing after copying and also greyscale becoming lighter/having less contrast.
Can anyone suggest a solution or send me a link to good web resources explaining why im having these problems?
Thanks
Dave

The graphic is embedded, you loose most all ability to control color. Use file >> place and check the link box to place this as a linked graphic. Then the values you see in phothsop will be the values sent to the output device. Any color management you add on top of this is the only thing that would change the color.
Also make sure you have file >> document color mode >> set to CMYK
With linking your files will be faster and take up less space on disk.

Copied/pasted group of components lose many properties

(Xcelsius 2008 SP1 FP1 5.1.1.0 (Build 12,1,1,344), Windows XP SP2)
After copying/pasting 120 or so grouped components all at once, the Value, Check box and Toggle components seemed to lose most of their properties. The main container within the group of copied objects is a panel container that included nested groups of labels, rectangles, values, check boxes and toggles.
Specific example: All Value components originally had a title position of "Left" and specific font name/sizes. They also had specific X axis offsets. And of course, each was pointed to a specific spreadsheet cell. The copies, however, reverted to the respective defaults for all properties minus the text of the titles. (This is of course not an exhaustive list of the affected components/properties).
I have already had experience copying smaller groups of components and did not see this effect, so I wonder if there is a threshold of some kind here.

Thank you, Purnima. Despite my fears, copying and pasting smaller groups within the larger nesting appears to be working out pretty well, so this may become a non-issue for me. Nevertheless, it would be great if a future version of Xcelsius would support larger groups within a copy and paste.

Copy paste text between documents bug

Hi
When I copy paste styled text (text or text containers) between CS6 (or CC) documents, the language for the text changes to a wrong one (from Finnish to English: British), along with the spelling of course. The style does follow correctly to the fresh new document, but ID makes an exception to the style for this pasted text (Style1+). The transferred style itself still has the correct language defined.
Doesn't happen when copy pasting within the same document.
All default languages are correct (default and within styles). Deleting preferences did nothing.
Anyone else has this? Any suggestions on how to correct this. I seem to remember there was something like this ages ago too.

Thanks Uwe
• New user: no help.
• Save as or IDML: no change, same problem.
• Snippet: language does remain correctly Finnish!
• ID5.5: no problem at all! Language remains correct.
So, this is my persistent problem:
• Any text with a style on it becomes (as a local exception to style) wrong language when copy-pasted or dragged as a whole page between docs.
• The styles them selves transfer correct. Clicking style for each paragraph again sets the correct language (but the original local adjustments are lost).
• No style has [Basic Paragraph] as a parent and [Basic Paragraph]'s and the general default language are Finnish, too. The wrong language (English: British) is not used anywhere.
• Text with no style remains correctly Finnish (target default).
• IDML: same problem. Save As: same problem.
• IDMS: language remains correct.
• Trashing preferences doesn't help.
• New user account doesn't help.
• Effected versions: ID CC (9.1 fi), ID CS6 (8.0.2 fi). CS5.5 (7.5.1 en) is not effected. System is Mac 10.8.5 (fi).
• CC has no extra plugins. CS6 and CS5.5 have Suitcase (F4) plugin only as extra.
