Copy text properties ?

Hi,
How to copy text properties (font, size, line-height, etc) from one text element to another ?

You can record actions while formatting your text items the first time.
Give them names like headline 1, paragraph, list item ...
Assign the text properties by double clicking the text layer and one click on the action.

Cannot copy text from DRM-free PDF on PC

I can on my Mac. Both use Adobe Reader v11.x. I think the behaviour started when I updated to version 11 on the PC.
I cannot copy text from DRM-free PDFs that I read. I can switch to the Select Tool cursor but drag-select does not work as it did before. Double-click can highlight (and copy) a word. A triple-click can do so for a line. This is clumsy and inefficient and I cannot grab more than a line of text.
File > Properties: Security shows 'No Security'. I am stumped. Is there some detail I am missing? (I downloaded and switched to FoxIt Reader to take notes now but prefer my knowledge of navigation shortcuts in Adobe Reader.)

Hi jroth,
How are you "re-printing" the PDF? Once you have a PDF file, it shouldn't be necessary to re-create it just because you've made changes. You could simply save the file at that point. But it sounds like you're concerned about preventing changes to the comments. If that's the case, rather than reprinting, you could assign some document permissions to the PDF to prevent people from changing the content. To assign that security, choose File > Properties and click the Security tab.
I'm guessing here, because I'm not sure what process you're using, but it sounds as though that second iteration is being printed as an image. That would change the searchable text to an image, and could certainly cause the issue you're encountering.
Best,
Sara

How to highlight & copy text from Lightning address book, versus having to open the entry?

That I can tell, it isn't possible to highlight & copy text visible in the Contact Pane or the pane above it, the one with all the address book entries. Am I missing a way to do this?
It would sure make the use of the address book in Lightning a lot more convenient & quicker to use if one could do so. Please note I did not say edit. Instead, one is required to go through all the same steps as if editing. That is, open Properties & select the appropriate tab, then highlight & copy said information, instead of just being able to quickly copy the desired text.
It's only two more clicks, & the finding of the text, which can be cumbersome in some of the small field windows, especially for notes, but when doing this often, it sure becomes a pain. Notes in particular becomes a mini database for that address entry, whether it be your personal record for product information for something purchased (which could be extensive if many of the parts of something like a specific computer were noted), to sharing contact information with others.
A third use is when having to retrieve security information that is impossible to remember, such as your BTC account(s). By keeping it in the address book on an at-home computer, adds a bit more security, yet you can still easily access it.

The add on More Functions for Address Book allows several copy functions.

Very strange error in text properties - AI CS6

Hello Everyone,
This morning I found very very STRANGE error in Adobe CS6 about text properties. Here you go.
In the picture one text 'ei and mosterd' was bold.
But after copy to new string the bold characters are changed to 'ig and mosterdz'.
This is very strange error I have seen ever.
Do you guys have any reason why CS6 act like this?
also do you have any option to fix this issue?
For your information:
I just done copy past. Nothing else.
All the properties are same for both.
No difference except the text string size
I tried the same file in different machines for check. But I still see the same error in all the machines.
System properties:
Mac os x: 10.8.5
Processor 2,8 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB
Software: Adobe CS6

Wow, this is absolutely incredible... you try to parse an empty String to an int and it throws an exception... I'd never have thought.

Copy font properties programatically

Hi,
How is it possible to copy text with its font properties from a string control/indicator to another?
I know that this can be performed with Ctrl-C (when the desired text is selected) an Ctrl-V (in the new location); however, how can I perform this action programmatically?
Thank you

Yes, I meant without the FOR loop.
In my application, I have a string indicator that plays the Console role, continuously different parts of my code send messages (with a specific color and size) to be printed in the string indicator. However, as in your code, for every new message I have to read character by character the previous message in the Console and then add the new message; I would like to copy the entire Old state of the Console (with its font properties), concatenate the new message and only modify the font for the last message.
If I concatenate the Old state with the new text and only change the font for the new message I get this (Case 1), if I utilize the same approach than in your VI I get the desired results (Case 2). But this solution is very slow, to run copyFont_modified2.vi.
Thanks

How can I copy text from PDF and include the source filename in the pasted selection?

I'm a biologist and frequently cut-and-paste notes from PDFs of scientific articles. I name all of the PDF articles with their PubMed ID, a short unique identifier (e.g. 19397482.pdf). When I take notes, I will select a few sentences from the PDF and then paste them into a text editor for later reference.
Can anyone suggest a method or script that would allow me to paste the copied text with the Pubmed filename included in a single action? I would want the pasted output it to look something like this, with the filename appended to the end:
Of the transcripts that were significantly different, there was a greater number of transcripts that were down-regulated in the IVC embryos (380) than the number of transcripts that were up-regulated (208). [20668257.pdf]
This would really help me to properly cite information sources during the writing process. I know there are bibliography managers that might be able to do something like this, but I prefer to read the PDF articles directly in Preview and select the text as I am reading.
Thanks very much for any suggestions / ideas.

To copy and paste in a single action:
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
    -- Get the PubMed ID:
    get the title of the front window
    set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
    -- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
    keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
    delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
    -- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
    set theNotes to the clipboard
    set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
end tell
tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
tell application "System Events"
    -- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
    key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓
    keystroke return & return
    keystroke "v" using {command down} -- ⌘V
end tell

Can't Copy text unless console is opened before applet with JTextField

If an applet uses JTextFields, it is impossible to copy text from the console to the clipboard (or anywhere else) if the console is opened after the applet.
See http://demo.capmon.dk/~pvm/nocopy/nocopy.html for a working applet with source and class file to try it out on...
So if something bad has happened, and there are hints in the console e.g. a stack trace, it all has to be retyped by hand, since all Copy or export is impossible...
Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I'd like to be able to e.g. copy stack traces to bug reports.
Try these test cases:
* Close all browser windows. Open a browser and visit this page. After the page with this applet has loaded, then open the console with "Tools/Sun Java Console" (or "Tools/Web Development/Java Console" in Mozilla). Select some text in the console. There is no way to put this text on the clipboard; the "Copy" button doesn't work, and neither does CTRL+Insert, CTRL+C or anything else.
* Close all browser windows. Open a browser window no some non-java page and then open the console with "Tools/Sun Java Console" (or "Tools/Web Development/Java Console" in Mozilla). Then visit this page. Select some text in the console. Now the "Copy" button does work, enabling "export" of e.g. stack traces to other applicaitons e.g. email.
The difference is which is opened first: The console or the applet. If you look at the very rudimentary Java source code, it is the mere creation of a JTextField is what disables or breaks the Copy functionality.
I've tried this on Windows XP with IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.3 and they behave exactly the same. The JVM is Sun's 1.4.2 and I've tried 1.4.1_02 also with the same behavior. I've also tried javac from both 1.4.2 and 1.4.1_01

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

How do I copy text from one layer to another?

I have Googled this but not a single answer seems to work.
I am using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.6.7.
OK, so I have a layer that has some text in it. I would like to be able to simply copy that text from one layer to another, but this seems to be impossible as the Edit Paste menu item is grayed out after I have copied it in to the clipboard. I can paste it into the SAME layer, but not into another layer.
This is how I am trying to do this.
In the layer with the text, click on the "T" icon to the left.
Click on the text, in the layer that I want to copy.
I select the text (either by clicking and dragging or pressing Command-A).
Next I press Command-C.
Then I click on the layer In the Layer Panel) where I want to paste the text.
Pressing Command-V is impossible because the Edit-Paste menu option is grayed out!!!!
WHY??????
Perhaps more importantly, HOW do I copy text from one layer to another?

First thing you can simply right click on the Text Layer and choose Duplicate Layer. But that will create a new Text Lay
er identical to the one you have.
To answer your question in your case.... Create the Text Layer. Make a New Layer. Or have the layer you want to paste into visible.
Highlight the text layer in the Layer Palette and Ctrl+Click (Win) Cmd+Click(Mac) so that you see marching ants walking around your text.
Edit>Copy.
Then highlight your Layer you want to paste into and hit Edit>Paste or Cmd+V / Ctrl+V.

I need to be able to copy text of a Gmail email I have sent and paste it in a new email when using firefox as my browser

hi everyone
I recently upgraded to the new firefox version. When using the previous version. i would copy text in emails I had sent and paste it into new emails. It saved me much time>
I am totally unable to do this with the newer version of the browser. There is no edit function on the tool bar that allows me to copy and paste.
any suggestions as to how I can cut and paste or save documents to use over again?
thanks

Hi, I had the same issue. My solution was to take the freeware-tool clickto.
So I'm now able to take any text, copy it and past it via clickto into a new mail.
[http://www.clicktoapp.com Clickto ]expands your copy-paste feature by showing you some "satellites" after doing the copy action. These "satellites" now will give you some opportunities to paste your copied content, for example a picture to facebook or a text to a new mail on gmail with just 1 single click.

This regards Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.07 running on Win 7. Copying text in a text callout (to paste into a text callout in another pdf document (3 instances of Adobe open) sometimes (only sometimes) causes the program to crash, losing unsaved work. Windows Task Manager shows only a small percentage of cpu used and plenty of memory available. What is causing this?

This usually occurs if you use a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

Acrobat XI Pro crashing when changing highlighted text properties

After install update 11.0.07 EVERY after highlighting a section of text and attempting to change the properties the program crashes, this is happening in ALL my documents with highlighted text
Here is what I see, first screen shot is a PDF file that I received. To rule out errors in the first file I created the file in the second screen shot with the same results in both files when attempting to change the highlighted text properties ie CRASH
I'm in two mind as to ether uninstall and re install and apply update 11.0.06 , as there was no problem then, as this only seemed to start when update 11.0.07 was applied. OR to totally remove and re-install and then apply update 11.0.07 and see if this continues
