Copying and pasting spaces

When I copy something from a pdf and paste it into a document or internet search, the spaces aren't pasted. Here is an example...
Trenboloneacetate(TBA)isasyntheticandrogenicsteroidhormoneadministeredasasubcutaneous...
Why is it not copying spaces? I am using a surface tablet.
Thanks ahead of time for your time and help.

Thank you for sending us two PDF files as attachments! I examined the contents of the PDF files using our internal tool.
Both of the PDF files were generated by the same application called "Arbortext Advanced Printer Publisher".
The contents of the particular PDF files actually do not contain any space characters, as shown below.
(Click the image above to enlarge.)
The space between two words are specified by numeric values for text drawing instructions in PDF.
Adobe Reader Touch appears to have a bug for not properly handling this type of PDF contents. I have reported a bug in our bug database.
Until this bug is fixed in Adobe Reader Touch, I'd recommend using Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI) or Microsoft Reader to copy and paste text from these PDF files. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am trying to copy and paste a 734mb film on to an 8GB usb but it keeps saying "It cannot copy as there isn't enough space". How is this possible? And how do I put the film on the usb?

Look at the USB stick in Disk Utility and check whether it may be partitioned or have other software on it taking up space.

Copy and Paste from Safari to MS Word Text Form Field adds a trailing space

I know this is just a minor issue, but an inconvenience for me nonetheless.
When I go to the same page and copy and paste the same text from Firefox, the trailing space is not added.
What I find puzzling is that when I paste the same copied text into notepad from Safari, it does not add the trailing space.
So it is likely an issue with MS Word's method of pasting text, but strange to me that it does not happen from Firefox.
Is there a way to inspect the exact contents of the clipboard to see if there are any differences?
I just did a little bit more testing, and found that Word only adds an trailing space when I paste into a "Text Form Field" from only Safari.
Maybe the solution is to stop using MS Word. (Ha, Ha)

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

When I copy and paste from one source material to another within adobe reader, all the words are in one sentence. I have to take extra time to separate the words using the space bar. Can this be fix?

HT5569 Is there a way to store a wi-fi password on an iPad and then copy and paste it into the proper space when you want to connect to your password protected network? (the password is 31 random characters)

Is there a way to store a wi-fi password on an ipad and then copy and paste it into the proper space when you want to connect to your password proctected newwor? (the password is 31 random characters)

Yes, if both the Mac and iPad are setup using the same iCloud account, then any notes you enter on the Mac will be synced across to the iPad almost instantly.
Same occurs with the 1Password app I mentioned. If you have both the Mac and iPad versions of it, and setup either iCloud or Dropbox syncing, any passwords entered on the Mac will be synced to the app running on the iPad ready for copying and pasting. This would be the most secure method, but not the cheapest.

There is no download for 10.4.x or 10.5.x, there is a very slim chance you can get 10.5 by calling Apple, but usually you can only get it on eBay & such.
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:

Missing images and not able to use copy and paste anymore - just blank rect

Hello!
I've a problem that really scares me.
I use severall png and pdf images. But at one point keynote looses the media and just displays these grey rectangles instead of some images. I tried to figure out if it just happens with pdf images and replaced the missing pdf images through png24 images with transparency. It first worked fine (they showed up) and then it tells images can not be saved. If I open the presentation again, the images are missing. And it seems that the more images and slides i put in the presentation, the more images are missing…
But there is more: I even can't copy and paste these images anymore. If I try to copy one of the images I just have replaced (because they have been lost by saving), it just pastes the blank grey rectangle instead of the image.
This really is a problem because I now have to repetitive tasks (like same animation for the same image in the same size) over and over again. And when I save the doc – they are al gone again…
It really scares me and I don't have an idea how to solve this.
It also happens, if I repleace an pdf image with an png image and than try to copy this new png image. However I am able to drag the image from the Finder again.
I am working on a PB G4, 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
My Keynote Version is 3.0.2.
The Keynote Dokument is saved and opened from a G4 X-Serve wich is only used by Macs (so no Windows Filesystem anywhere). I still have anough space on both, my local and the server volume. I don't transfer the Keynote document. So it should not be a problem with the names on the files… And the files are just exported from Adobe Illustrator (png 24 files with "save for web" and the pdf files are saved as Illustrator pdf) – so they should really be fine and not corrupted…
At this time the Keynote document has a size of 179 MB (because of a video) and only 16 slides. And the theme was built from scratch – so no import from Powerpoint or so…
I looked through the Keynote preferences and found a thing like (sorry self-translated from german version to english) "scale placed images to slide-size". I wondered if keynote saves a copy of the sacaled image after that and corrupts the image itself? But I don't think so.
I've had these problems with earlier versions of Keynote, but it occured just sporadically and I could solve it through pasting it again. But this time I can not solfe it anymore.
Does anybody encounter same problem? Or has a hint?
I really would appreciate, because I have to finish the presentation very soon and are not able to work properly with that. Furthermore, I am scared of saving and opinging the presentation again, because the lost files can not be replaced…

I now have a hint:
As a colleague said, he encountered some problems with usagerights on our fileserver (XServe). He said he wasn't able to read files he put on the server himself again…
If this is true, the same could have happened to Keynote for placed images, as Keynote writes these images as separate files in the doc package…
I will try to work on my local volume and see if it solfes the problem.
But sooner or later I will have to place the whole thing on the server again…
Do you think this is the reason?

Why I am not able to copy and paste photos from my desktop to my Itouch?

I am not able to copy and paste photos from my computer to my Itouch. I use to be able to do it. Now there is an error message that says my device is wither disconnected or stopped responding.
But when I plugged in the Itouch, it still shows on my computer, still able to see my existing pictures in it. Just not able to paste/drag any new pictures into the folder.
Anyone has this problem and able to solve it?
Thank you.

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

My lap top wont import pictures from auto play. it keeps saying there is a file error and a device connected to the computer isnt working properly. i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste the pictures but this wont work either.

my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

CS4 problems copying and pasting masked items

The problem: Copying and pasting a placed image combined with other Illustrator art with multiple gausian blurs that have been masked/grouped. Placed image type does not matter. PDF, JPG, TIFF, etc placed in Illustrator CS4 (or 3). Some images are complex and others are not.
What happens: After copying and pasting, the masked (grouped) image breaks apart into separate components that are no longer masked/grouped. Happens with different files with different images on different computers. WIth or without text in document. Sometimes image pastes correctly but most times it does not.
Hardware/OS: 3 separate iMacs (20" and two 23") all with intel chips but different processing speeds. All running latest and most updated version of Leopard. All with 4 MB Ram and more than a 100 GB of free hard drive space.
Software: Illustrator CS4 (latest update) and CS3 on one of the 23" iMacs.
Solutions tried so far: Ran Onyx, repaired permissions, scripts, cleaned caches, zapped PRAM and on one iMac, ran Disk Warrior. Tried in Safe boot mode and tired with a new user account. Created new files with new images and tried old files. Tried opening files from the server and from the desktop. Threw out illustrator prefs and emptied trash.
Thought it may have to do with font conflicts but some files don't have fonts. Turned off font management programs (Suitcase on one iMac, Font Explorer Pro on others, all updated to latest version) and restarted so only system fonts loaded. No luck. Turned on fonts used in various documents, still no luck.
Thought it may have to do with memory issues after copying masked items. Sometimes the copied image would paste correctly and then the next time I pasted it, it would not. Before pasting a second time I would copy a small item (to clear the memory) and then paste it and then recopy the masked item and paste that. Still no luck.
Checked activity monitor but nothing looks to be a memory hog or out of place. Happens on all three iMacs and while the OS and Illustrator are common to all three, Fonts and font management tools are not. No weird plug-ins or third party extensions installed. Plus it happened in safe boot mode so all extraneous fonts and such should have been deactivated.
Curiously, if I drag copy the masked item using the option key, the masked item copies fine. I know this can be used as a work-around but I would like to resolve this as sometimes the designers need/want to use command-c/command-v.
Not sure what else to try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
solve this glitch in my experience.
Good Luck

Copy and Paste Spreadsheet in Numbers 3.0 to Pages 5.0

I have a spreadsheet that I need to copy from Numbers 3.0 into Pages 5.0. I have tried to copy and paste to no avail. I have exported as a .pdf and it is blurry when I paste it into the pages document. Does anyone know how I can get this spreadsheet into my Pages 5.0 document?

Hi Hans,
I can get a reference error here if the destination table does not have that range available while the source table does.
Are you sure your desination table has exactly the same structure and dimensions as your source table?
If it does, copy/paste via the Formula Editor should work. It works reliably here.
Also the formula in your latest post looks as if it might be corrupted-- lots of extra spaces (it seems). Did your orginal formula have those?
To sort this out, suggest turning off 'Use header names as labels' in Preferences.
If you end up with a formula in a cell as just Text (as Ian describes that's what happens when you copy from Numbers 2) you can convert that text to a formula by double-clicking the cell, clicking just before the text so that the insertion point appears in front of it and typing =. That activates the Formula Editor with the formula in it, which you can accept by clicking the green checkmark or hitting return.

Cannot copy and paste a slideshow- and what is an Album?

I have created a slideshow in a folder called MISC. I think it is a "slideshow" because the icon looks like a 35mm slide.
I want to copy this slide show and move it to a folder called 2007.
No matter what I do, I cannot copy and paste it. Once a slide show is created in a folder, are you now longer able to move it?
also, what is an album and when would i start one. What is the purpose of an Album?

I want to copy this slide show and move it to a folder called 2007.
Is this in the iPhoto Window? Drag and drop.
An album is an collection of photos. You might gather them together because you want to have all your photos of your dog in one place, quite independent of when they were taken. OF you can make a Smart Album based on any of the criteria you can discover by using the File -> New Smart Album command.
The core difference between an album and an Event is that a photo can be in 100 albums and not take up any extra disk space whereas it cannot be in more than one Event without duplicating files.

Cannot copy and paste in Firefox, text or graphics

recently updated to ver 22, , and started noticing that I can no longer copy and paste from sites I visit since the update. I can copy and paste from Chrome, IE, and other software within my PC. This appears to be only a problem with Firefox. Have used all of your suggestions for troubleshooting and none of these work for me. I am using Windows XP Pro, with an AMD dual processor, 4gB memory and plenty of available disc space. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Do not know if the update had any thing to do with the problem. Thanks

I am using the latest updates of Windows 7 and Windows 8 on three separate computers, each with the latest update to Firefox and with the latest update to ZoneAlarm. Just as everyone else here, I can no longer copy and paste when browsing the Internet using Firefox. IE 10 does not suffer from this issue. I have deleted ZoneAlarm from both browsers, but the problem continues in Firefox 22.0.
Am growing more and more frustrated.
