Copy-paste of a chart or table in new iWork creates a low resolution raster rather than a vector

In iWork '09 I regularly copied charts, tables, etc. from iWork applications to other applications. They were in vector format. For instance, I have made a chart in Numbers, copied it, and pasted in Preview. This resulted in a vector which I saved to PDF, everything in less than 5 seconds.
It seems that in the new iWork this is not possible anymore, because the result is a low-resolution raster, which totally broke my workflows.
Is this an "enhacement" of the new iWork or I am missing something?

Hi Badunit,
A possible explanation for our discrepency:
If I copy an entire page from a vector pdf using the thumnails bar in preview and paste that page into keynote, the image is a raster.
If I select a portion of that page with the preview selection tool, copy, and paste into keynote, the image is a vector.
This issue is especially damaging because I can't drag and drop pdf files I create into keynote. Major bugs have been introduced with regards to vector images, and I'm unable to identify a single rule characterizing this process. This is a disaster as I've relied on keynote as a longterm storage and organization tool for many vector images. Many of these images have now been corrupted in what I assume is an irreversible process.

Preview copy on PDF files produces a raster rather than a vector

I used to open PDF files with Preview and copy stuff out of it, then paste it in Keynote (or anywhere else) and obtain vector graphics.
Since some time when I copy stuff out of a PDF file I get an image, rather than a vector graphics. This is evident when you try to rescale the image and looses quality, whereas the vector does not.
This seems to be something that has to do with Preview, since if I open the same PDF with Skim and I copy anything out of it I get a vector, that scales perfectly when I paste it in Keynote.
Any idea what is going on with Preview? (on 10.9.5)
Cheers,
Roberto

Copy/Paste cells in the same table

How can I copy/paste rows inside the same table?
I tried with ITableModel, but its function CanPaste() returns me kFalse. And I tried with kTableCopyPasteCmdBoss/ITableCopyPasteCmdData, it crashed.
Thank you in advance,
David

You are correct, but this behavior has always amazed me. ID *never* inserts the correct amount of copied rows inbetween others -- rather, you have to count how much you are going to copy, then insert blanks, then paste, then double-check you didn't accidentally overwrite existing ones!
If you are writing a general plugin to handle tables, you might think about doing this automatically. I don't know, perhaps you can test how much rows are "in the copy buffer" at the time of pasting.

Copy paste anchored objects in a table

Hi all!
I must design very often posters with a lot of brands logos (events sponsors) distribuited like anchored objects in the cells of a table.
Very frecuently, the list of brands changes after designed the poster, adding or deleting someones, and then i must replace the logos one by one.
I'm programming a script that moves the content of the cells, making space to the new inserts, or filling the space leaved by brands out. I use the "content" property of the object "cell", and it really works with text (its useful for me in others cases, anyway) but it makes absolutly nothing with the anchored objects.
Somebody have any idea that can help me?
Thanks for your help, and sorry for my english!
Jose

Oh, and what is very helpful:
The parent of an anchored object is a Character Object.
Example 1:
A text frame with an anchored object (the magenta square).
The text frame is selected.
If you ask for the count of characters in the text frame:
app.selection[0].characters.length;
The answer is "5"!
The anchor, that is indeed the anchored rectangle, is treated as a character.
If you select the anchored object and ask for its parent:
app.selection[0].parent;
The answer is "[object Character]".
To move such an anchored object without loosing its anchordness, you have to move the character.
In the above case, the character is characters[0] of the text frame. Or more precise, the characters[0] of texts[0] (all formatted text in the text frame) of the text frame. You also could go a step backward and say: in this case it's the characters[0] of texts[0] of the parentStory of the text frame
To move it somewhere else (e.g. to a cell of a table), you must move it to another Text object.
Every insertion point is a text object (like every character).
Example 2:
A table comes into play:
The text frame is still selected.
And the following code will move the anchored object (indeed the character) to the table:
var myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
var myTable = myTextFrame.parentStory.tables[0];
myTextFrame.characters[0].move(LocationOptions.AFTER, myTable.cells[0].insertionPoints[0]);
Situation after executing the snippet:
Hope that helps,
Uwe

Numbers: Copy/Paste from multiple tables into 1 single Table?

I would appreciate some guidance in creating a copy/paste script from multiple numbers tables into a different single table within the same numbers document.
The columns in the source table are in different positions to the destination table.
So for example, i would want to copy…
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell A3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell B2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell B3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell C2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell C3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell E2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell D3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell F2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell E3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell G2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell G3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell I2
Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell J3 copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell H2
and repeat the copy/paste on subsequent rows of each table until there is an empty row in Sheet 1 Table 1 (or if this is difficult, say set the repeat to a max of 30 rows).
The script would then need to move on to Sheet 1 Table 2, and do the same copying to Sheet 2 Table Z (from where the previous copy/paste finished in Table Z).
Repeat process would finalise with Sheet 1 Table 6.
The Paste part would need to be pasting values, as the cells in the source tables do contain some formulas.
At the moment this is all done manually and does take some to to undertake.
If anyone can help, i would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Colin

Interceptor,
are you trying to aggregate data from severl tables into a single table? If so you whould be able to do this without a script. The function indirect() will allow you to construct the proper formula, which you may fill over (in the same row) to the appropriate cells, then fill down.
Here is a small example:
There are three data tables ("Table 1", "Table 2", and "Table 3"). And a summary "Table Z"
In table Z make the first row a header (as shown):
Use column A to enter the Sheet name and colomn B to enter the table name.
In row 1 (the header), enter the cells you want to get
in cell C2 type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=INDIRECT($A2&"::"&$B2&"::"&C$1)
now select cell C2, copy now select cell C2 thru H2, paste
now select the cells C2 thu H2, hover the corsor over the bottom edge of the selection, and drag the yellow cirlc down as needed to fill the formula down.
Update the sheet and table names as needed for each row

Cut, copy, paste issues

I have been using a Z10 for the past 2 years, so I am familiar with ho the cut, copy, paste is supposed to work. My new Leap does cut, copy, paste but it does so inconsistently. If I have copied a password from my Password Keeper and used it, for example, banking, then I copy something different and try to paste what I just copied, when I paste, the password I copied previously gets pasted instead of what I copied most recently. Also, whe I attempt to paste something into an email and at the end of the email, I am unable to place the cursor at the end of the email, the last word of the email is highlighted which forces me to paste over the last word in the email. Of course the pasting itself isn't always the last thing I copied, so I, too often, have to long type everything that I should be able to copy, paste. I'm wondering if the glitch is in the newest OS. Th one I am using is: Software Release: 10.3.2.226 and OS Version: 10.3.2.2339. Thank you for your help.

... to continue.
This solution just occurred to me. You can select the range of text that will include all your selections, and then Format > Table > Convert Text to Table.
As a table you will be allowed to select non-contiguous cells and Cut or Copy them. When done, you can Format > Table > Convert Table to Text.

Copy/paste photo's to docs in Adobe ios

Can a person not copy/paste a photo to a doc?

PDF forms created in LiveCycle Designer can take advantage of an image field that's available. It can import JPEG, TIFF, GIF, and PNG. When the user clicks the field, it prompts the user to select an image file.
A form created in Acrobat can user a button that is set up to display an icon (layout someting other than Label only). Acrobat users will be able to choose a page from a PDF or any other format that it knows how to convert to PDF, including the same image formats as above plus many more, and many other formats. You can implement this with the following Mouse Up JavaScript for a button:
// Prompt the user to select a file
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
When the user clicks the button, a prompt will appear allowing the user to select a file to use for the button icon.
This will work with Reader 11, but the user will be limited to selecting a page from a PDF. It is relatively easy to convert images to PDF nowadays, to this isn't as much of a restriction as it was before they removed this from Reader a while ago. For example, on a Mac a user can easily convert an image to PDF, with Preview for example, or pretty much any other software that can view an image. On Windows, Office users can easily convert to PDF, and there are any number of other freely available PDF creation tools out there. An XFA form with a single large image field can actually be used for this, so that when it is saved the Reader user can import the image by selecting the saved XFA form.
Another option to placing an image on a page is to use a stamp. In Reader, the user can create a stamp from an existing PDF, but prior to Reader 11 the document has to be Reader-enabled so that at least commenting is allowed.
Reader 10 and 11 allow the user to add a signature as part of the new EchoSign functionality, which is implemented as a stamp, and the user can import an image. Adding non-signature images really isn't what this feature was meant for, but it works.

Copy/paste Footnotes from Word

I am writing my thesis and want to format in Pages. I did most of my work on Word, but it does not format pictures nearly as well. I copy-pasted my essay to Pages, but the new program does not recognizemy footnotes. Any help or suggestions?

Pages divorces foot notes from what it classifies as body text. If the footnotes are not preserved in the Pages body text, you will have to perform insert footnote to in the corresponding location of the original Word text.
Select the actual footnote text in word, copy, and in Pages, single click the corresponding footnote text area at the bottom of the Pages document. This will display as a box around the footnote text area. Double-click in this specific footnote text area, and then paste the content from the Word footnote text.

Creating new DC using existing DC like copy paste

Dear friends,
Any steps how to create a new DC using existing DC.
I would like to create a new DC which is exactly equal to other DC like copy paste.
Early reply appricated
Many thanks.
Lakshmikanthaiah

Hi,
Create the DC in the Track with same name.
to do this, you need to remove the DC name reservation in the SLD,
After that, copy src of old project and paste in the new project,
before copying the src, you have to add the depedencies in your new dc as per the old dc, becuase the copying won't take the dependent dc reference,
after adding the dependent dc's you can copy the src to new dc,
when you paste the src under new dc's that should promt you for add some files to acitvity, other wise delete the src and paste it again until u get the popup to add files to activity,
after pasting - repair the dc project strucutre, roload and rebuild after that check manually all the depenceies are working, now you can build the dc and deployee,
this process work for only for the same naming dc's,
i have done this, this will work fine,
Cheers,

Copy/Pasteing SD Timeline in to 720p HD Timeline...

Hey folks,
I've got a project in a SD timeline, it consists of images with motion keyframes in there, like a slide show kind of thing. There are also some that contain video as well.
I need to output this project in 720p so I just created a new 720p timeline and copy / pasted the SD timeline in to the new 720p one.
The images and video are obviously now much smaller in the larger 720p frame so I need to manually drag everything to fit, however, since there is motion keyframes, this throws the keyframing off on everything. Is there a way to automatically make all of the images and video scale to the size of the new, larger 720p frame?
Thanks in advance!

Right-click the sequence in the timeline and select "Open in Viewer", then go to the Motion tab. Scale.

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

How do I autofill left to right (or copy/paste) from data that is up and down in another table?

I have source data that is in a table as a column, and I would like to have it autofilled (simply copy/paste if need be) into a row in a separate table. Is there an easy way to do this without doing each cell individually?

Question asked and answered many times.
What you ask for is named "Transpose a row" or "Transpose a column".

Table Drag and Drop/Copy-paste

Hi all
I use dreamweaver CS 5.5 on a macmini.
I'm pretty new to the whole dreamweaver-stuff and use it mainly for converting websites into html. I normally do that via copy-paste:
Copy text from website - paste in dreamweaver preview - edit in dreamweaver code-view
Now there's one big problem: If I copy a Table, it doesnt paste it, at all. It pastes just nothing.
If I drag'n'drop it, it will only paste the data in the cells, no tab, resulting in a huge test without any format in it and useless to me.
Is this a known problem? What can I do about it?
Thanks a lot for every help

The weird thing is, with some tabs it works, with some it doesnt.
Here's an example, where it doesen't work:
http://de.yamaha.com/de/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/aventage-series/rx-a3010_g /?mode=model#tab=product_lineup
section: "technische daten"
Here, it does work:
http://ch.consumer.toshiba.eu/de/products/tv/55TZ1175ch#productDetailSpecifications
Since I am everything but a crack, I have no idea, where the difference is.. hope, this helps specify..
