Copying enterprise fields to the Clipboard

Hi
I’m looking at grabbing some enterprise fields from CAD into a number of different web forms. I don’t want to reference the enterprise field and use a macro to insert it; I simply want to copy an enterprise field to the clipboard so that it can be utilized by the agent elsewhere.
Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this using a macro?
Many thanks for your help!

Might not be fancy, but what about just using keyboard commands? Like Cntrl-A (select all), Cntrl-C (Copy)?

Copying a slide to the clipboard?

I want to copy a Captivate slide to the clipboard so I can
edit it in a graphics program. The documentation first says:
Adobe Captivate provides an easy way to copy a slide to the
clipboard. Then the instructions say:
To copy a slide to the clipboard:
1. Open an Adobe Captivate project in Edit view.
2. Select an image on the slide that you want to copy as a
bitmap.
3. Select Edit > Copy to Clipboard as Bitmap.
4. .....
How do I copy the entire slide to the clipboard as a bitmap
in order to edit it, and not just an image on the slide?
Thanks.

Hi there
Yep, you sure can! Insert a Highlight Box object. Configure 0
for the frame width and 0% transparency. Here's where it gets cool.
Click the color chooser, then the eyedropper and lift the color
from the field. (Sometimes these are an odd color, so this helps)
Now size and position the Highlight Box to cover the
information you wish to hide. Once that is done, copy this to the
clipboard. Here's where it gets even cooler! Choose all the
remaining slides where you want to hide the info and paste. Whoosh!
The Highlight Box is pasted in the EXACT location on each slide.
(no futzing with placement!)
Now all you have to do is visit each slide, right-click the
Highlight Box and choose Merge into Background.
This should accomplish what you are doing with editing in a
different application.
Cheers... Rick

Copy ImageField Images to the clipboard

We've created ImageFields in a pdf to for people to send into us.
However we would like to be able to take those images and copy and paste them into other things. emails for example.
right now the ImageField only lets you click it to add an image. We can't select or right click that image to copy it to the clipboard.
is there a way to setup a button or something that via javascript or some other way allow us to copy that image to the clipboard?

Hi,
to copy an image to the clipboard you can use the snapshopt tool from Acrobats or Readers Edit menu.
There is no other way I'm afraid.

I want to copy an image to the clipboard in firefox using firefox clipboard API

I Want to copy an image to the clipboard using firefox clipboard API.
Please let me know he steps

Thanks for the reply, but I want to copy the IMAGE to the clipboard programmatically in javascript using firefox clipboard API.
For ex using the following syntax:
var clip = Components.classes'@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard;1']
I am able to copy the text, but I don't know the syntax to copy the IMAGE.

I can't copy to anything to the clipboard

My clipboard just seems to die randomly. I can't nail down when or how. I restart my laptop and it works fine for a while. But later in the day, all of the sudden I can no longer copy anything. I select some text and copy or cmd-C and go somewhere else and paste and it just pastes the last thing I had in the clipboard from earlier in the day.
Also, once I copy something, I can go to the Finder and choose Show Clipboard from the edit menu and it appears blank.
Any ideas?

Unless you can find a way to reproduce the problem at will, it will be almost impossible to track down. There has to be something you can do to make it fail.

Copy/paste without using the clipboard?

Can this be done without using the clipboard?
myTable.select()
app.copy()
app.select(myCopyFrame.insertionPoints.item(0));
app.paste();

Can you please not use that site, or (if you must) at the very least not refer to it in this forum?
Its entire contents is "stolen" -- the guy who made it advertises himself as "proficient XML and HTML programmer", but rather than proving it by doing something worthwhile himself, he copied the entire contents of the heavily improved HTML version I made from Adobe's own documentation. To add insult to injury he wrapped it up in heavily advertised pages.
The help text is Adobe's own, but I vastly improved upon it by adding yet even more hyperlinks, categories, and a graphic hierarchical view. An even better version than the one this ****head stole can be downloaded for free (and without any advertisements) from http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html. I made it better just to prove I could; so far this stinking thief didn't dare copy the latest version -- yet.

How to copy a picture to the clipboard.

Hallo,
I'm writing a program that allows the user to take data measurements and display them in a window. The output of this window is easy to put on the clipboard for the user to select the image and rigth-click and select "copy data".
For scaling reasons however I want to let the user be able to put the picture in a larger/smaller size on the clipboard and preverbly without the mouse button functions since allowing pop-up items allows the user to change all kind of data on the front panel (for instance: emptying an array).
In short: Is it possible to put a picture programatically on the clipboard without even displaying this picture on the front panel, just like saving a picture to a file.
Thanx
in advance for answers,
Marcel kalf.

Download "CopytoClipboard" at:

It can capture a rectangular area on the screen, and save it as
a bitmap onto clipboard.

Where is the temporary file while copying a pdf to the Clipboard?

When one does a Ctrl+A/Ctrl+C with a very large pdf, the Clipboard does not get populated until the progress bar completes. Where are the bytes going during the interim?
(Save As text is not an option)
Thanks

"Audio and video file that do download by way of Safari (progressive download) ...there are temp file, but the temp files themselves can't be open."
Thanks for your answer. Sorry for using the wrong term (streaming v. progressive), but my basic question still remains: WHERE then is the progressive temp file stored on my Mac (even if it can't be opened)?

What is the JavaScript to copy the value from a field to the clipboard?

I have a "Save As" Button scripted. But would like the button to first copy the value "SiteCode" so when the user is prompted to enter in the name they can just paste it.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks

That's not possible. It is possible to save to an existing folder with a filename derived from one of more field values, but the code that does that save has to be in a folder-level JavaScript file or in a certified document that the user chooses to trust for privileged JavaScript execution. So each user would have to manually install the JavaScript file or manually add the certificate to their list of trusted certificates and specify that it's trusted for privileged JavaScript execution.
I've had good success providing instructions for copying the field name from a form field so that the user can paste it as the field name in the Save As dialog that's invoked using an "Execute a menu item" action (File > Save As), so this might be a viable alternative you can use.

Copying Japanese Characters to the clipboard - Error/glitch

Hi all,
I am learning Japanese. I have Japanese input activated and can easily switch between English and Japanese, and Japanese displays correctly for me. One thing that is driving me crazy is that sometimes the Japanese characters won't copy/paste correctly. I can type them fine, but copying them from one spot and trying to paste them into another spot brings up nothing but garbage. It doesn't seem to matter which program I'm copying from or pasting to. And it seems to turn on and off randomly. It won't work for a long time, and then all of a sudden, it will work for a short while. Then it stops again!
Does anyone have any clue as to what is causing this? Or how to fix it? This problem makes it extremely hard to explore Japanese text using a dictionary, as I can no longer look words up properly.
Thanks for your help.

It doesn't seem to matter which program I'm copying from or pasting to.
Can you give an example of common programs where this happens? Does it ever occur when you are copy/pasting from or to TextEdit?
Short demonstration:
日本語　<-- typed out
eÂg,äû <-- copied and pasted back in</div>
Looks like an encoding glitch of some sort.

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.

Can JButtons within applets copy to the clipboard?

camickr wrote in another thread:
As always I would like to see the Applet used that caused the problem. We should not have to create our own applet to test this. As we all know from the original problem you may be missing/adding code. And this posting is way off topic so any new SSCCE along with a new question should be posted in a new posting. If I understand the problem is that Ctrl+C works on a text area, but it doesn't work for a JButton that tries to copy text from the same text area?Not quite. Ctrl+C works within a JTable, copying selected row(s) to the clipboard. The problem is getting a JButton to copy arbitrary text to the clipboard, having nothing to do with a JTable.
Well post the simple 20 line applet that demonstates this.Sorry, it's more than 20 lines. I included three approaches, Jeanette's, Walter's, and mine.

And here is a short HTML file to run it as an applet. I call it "3cb.html".
<html>
<head><title>TestApplet</title></head>

<applet code="ThreeCopyButtons.class"

 width="450" height="300">
Your browser is completely ignoring the applet tag!
</applet>
</body>
</html>The three buttons match our three approaches:
* Kleo -- Jeanette's approach
* Walt -- Walt's approach
* Rich -- my approach
All three methods work fine as a program, whether running directly as classes or from the .jar. None however work as an applet, from the HTML page.
To test either as applet or program:
1) open a text editor
2) type something short
3) Ctrl+C copy what you typed
4) click the Kleo button
5) in editor, click <enter> and Ctrl+V to paste
6) observe whether you see the text from step 3 or "Larry Moe Curly", with <tabs> between words.
7) repeat steps 3-6 for the Walt and Rich buttons
If you can figure out how to get the applet to bypass its security wall, great. We've found a bug in Java's applet security. If not, I am resigned to having the button in my actual app copy info to the table instead of to the clipboard.

You are right, but aw gee whiz. Have you ever written something that you think is pretty neat, then have to throw it away? hahahahahaha ... sure, happens nearly every day :-)
My class QEPanel, which handles each row of the statistics, is like that.yeah, have seen it: pretty nasty mixing of view and data <g>
Hmm, I wouldn't actually have to throw most of it away. :) correct ...
The JLabel labels would become the table column labels, and the other JLabels would become integers specifying column. except that I don't completely understand what you are after here (ehem: get your vocabulary right, sir) a clean separation would map the data-part of a QEPanel into a QEBean, with properties title (was: label), percentRed ... etc. Something like:
public class QEBean extends AbstractBean {
 private float sumRed, sumGrn, sumBlu;
 private float minDist = 9999999;
 private float maxDist = 0;
 private double sumDist;
 private int count;
 private int entries;
 private CountPerEntries countPerEntries;
 private String title;
 public QEBean(String title) {
 this.title = title;
 public void reset() {
 // do reset
 firePropertyChange(null, null, null);
 public void updateData(Color quantized, Color actual) {
 // do update internals
 firePropertyChange(null, null, null);
//------------ getters...
 public String getTitle() {
 return title;
 public float getPercentRed() {
 if (count == 0)
 return 0f;
 return sumRed / count;
 // more getters
}Then implement a specialized TableModel which knows about QEBean
public class QEBeanTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
 List<QEBean> errors = new ArrayList<QEBean>();
 private PropertyChangeListener errorChangeListener;
 @Override
 public int getColumnCount() {
 return 7;
 @Override
 public int getRowCount() {
 return errors.size();
 @Override
 public Class<?> getColumnClass(int columnIndex) {
 switch (columnIndex) {
 // implement as appropriate
 return Object.class;
 @Override
 public Object getValueAt(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
 QEBean error = errors.get(rowIndex);
 switch (columnIndex) {
 case 0:
 return error.getTitle();
 case 1:
 return error.getPercentRed();
 // more as appropriate
 return null;
 public void addError(QEBean error) {
 int oldSize = getRowCount();
 error.addPropertyChangeListener(getPropertyChangeListener());
 errors.add(error);
 fireTableRowsInserted(oldSize, oldSize);
 public QEBean getError(int row) {
 return errors.get(row);
 private PropertyChangeListener getPropertyChangeListener() {
 if (errorChangeListener == null) {
 errorChangeListener = new PropertyChangeListener() {
 @Override
 public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
 int row = errors.indexOf(evt.getSource());
 fireTableRowsUpdated(row, row);
 return errorChangeListener;
 public void resetAll() {
 for (QEBean error : errors) {
 error.reset();
}Then use the model in HelpBox:
// init model and keep in field
 qErrors = new QEBeanTableModel();
 qErrors.addError(new QEBean("Hex QE"));
 qErrors.addError(new QEBean("Name QE"));
 qErrors.addError(new QEBean("Mismatch QE"));
 qErrors.addError(new QEBean("SearchAccuracy"));
 // can't resist - JXTable would make customization so much easier :-)
 // JXTable errorTable = new JXTable(qErrors);
 JTable errorTable = new JTable(qErrors);
 errorTable.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
 errorTable.setSelectionBackground(Color.BLACK);
 errorTable.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
 errorTable.setSelectionForeground(Color.WHITE);
 errorTable.setGridColor(Color.BLACK);
 // install renderers which produce an output similar to the labels
 panel.add(errorTable)
// in the update methods - update the QEBeans stored in the model
 public void updateQE(int which, String q, String a)
 Color quantized = Color.black;
 Color actual = Color.black;
 int rgb[] = { 0, 0, 0 };
 NTC.getRGB(q, rgb);
 quantized = new Color(rgb[0], rgb[1], rgb[2]);
 NTC.getRGB(a, rgb);
 actual = new Color(rgb[0], rgb[1], rgb[2]);
 qErrors.getError(which -1).updateData(quantized, actual);
// similar in reset, updateEntriesThat's all and will give you an output very similar to the rows of individual labels, only more symetric.
The toString() method would go away because row toString() is already built into JTable.ehhh? No, not that I know of :-) The default renderer uses the toString of the cell value, the row is not involved.
>
Then you can implement the button's action to copy that error table's content to the clipboard. Better usability ensured, IMO.I'll just throw away the darn button. The colorTable doesn't have one, so why should the statisticsTable? sure, that's an option - the visual setup outlined above is for hiding the table-nature, if you want it expose, just do - no problem.

Programatically copying text to the clipboard

Short: I need to programatically copy a string of text from
either a variable or a hidden control field to the clipboard.
Long: We have a requirement to allow the user to 'pop-up' a
list of frequently used words, select one from the list and have
it pasted into a field on the form. What I would prefer to do
is select the user's words into an LOV and have the chosen word
placed into a hidden field. If I could move the contents of
that field to the clipboard, I can place the focus back in the
original field ('keep cursor position' = yes) and used the
PASTE_REGION built-in to insert the text without overwriting
anything.
The other method I have been experimenting with is creating my
own 'List of Values' form. I'm using a t-list to display the
user's word list. When-List-Changed copies the word to a visible
text field and an OK button places the focus in the text field,
executes the SELECT-ALL built-in, then the COPY-REGION built-in
and returns to the calling form with the word in the clipboard.
Problems: The user can't shrink the list by typing like they can
with an Oracle LOV. When the focus is in the t-list, the
DEFAULT functionality of the OK button doesn't happen. I can't
get a When-Mouse-Doubleclick trigger to fire while in the t-list.
In the end, I prefer the first method (the LOV) BUT... I have to
have a field visible on the form to place focus in, select all
of the text and copy to the clipboard. This field looks silly.
I'm sorry this question is so long winded. Thank you for
reading it all. Does anyone know how I might accomplish this
requirement (professionally)?
Thank you,
Fouad

Button to copy text to the clipboard

Reading the document "Javascript for Acrobat API Reference" Page 120:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf
the document discusses the execMenuItem command. From all that I have researched it appears I cannot create a button that copies text from a text field to the UI clipboard.
On page 121 the API reference says:
To ensure a secure environment, the menu items that can be executed are limited to the following:
●AcroSendMail:SendMail
●ActualSize
●AddFileAttachment
●BookmarkShowLocation
●Close
●CropPages
●DeletePages.............
..............●ZoomViewOut
The list is long but nowhere is "Copy" mentioned. I don't want to surreptitiously copy text or use a trusted function. I am content with the user knowing a button just copied a field of text. I just want to skip the highlighting of multiple field to get all the text. Does anyone know a way around this? I would like to copy a text field to the clipboard so the text can be entered elsewhere in another program.

All I know is they made this impossible a long time ago, like with Acrobat 5 or 6. I recall because I took advantage of it and never discovered a workaround.

Copy & Paste images to forms from the clipboard

hello,
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_33
Using JRE version 1.6.0_33-b05 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
Forms Applet version is 11.1.2.0
Windows 7 64bitForms has successfully done the drag&drop,save image file images to javabeans then save & retrieve it from database.
Laf project has an example of table-block copy/paste from/to the clipboard feature. You can populate a table-block with the content of the clipboard (Excel, Word,...) and also send to the clipboard with the content of a table-block.
But a how about the copy & paste images to forms?
It is posible?Any one tried this one?
