Copying tables from the pdf file & loosing all table format when pasted into a word document

I have tables in an Adobe Reader 9.2 file that need to be placed in a word document.
When I copy the table and paste it into the word document I loose all table formating and am left w/just text--and, not in the right places, I might add.
Help please!!
Thanks! Edie

The only thing that comes close is to use the Snapshot tool (from the Tools Menu) and copy the entire table and paste it, but it treats it as a graphic (picture) and you can no longer edit cells.

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?

I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?

Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?
What do I need to do to bring the graphics and exhibits from the PDF file to the Word file?

Hi jackp52432917,
How was that PDF file created? Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?
Best,

Can we find the number of rows in table from the dump file

Hi All,
Can we find the number of rows in table from the dump file with out importing the table in to the database?
Please let me know ,if any option is there.
Thanks,
Kumar.

<s>Try to import with option SHOW=Y, that should skip the number of rows which are into a table from a dump file.</s>

Oops, sorry, that doesn't show the number of lines...

How to remove html tags from the pdf file ?

Hello,
Using BI publisher we are generating a pdf file. In the table, we have data which contains html tags. for example " test1 2.test2 3.test3 ".
In the pdf file we need to get the output like this
test1
test2
test3
But the output is as follows :"test1 2.test 3.test3 "
Any idea, how these html tags can be removed from the pdf file and obtain the required result?
Thanks in advance!!
Archana

Archana,
Can you wrap your code in <code> tags (use square brackets rather than angled ones), as the forum software is interpretting the HTML tags, in other words we can't see what you mean ;)
In any case, there are a few different options (guessing at what your problem is, without seeing the actual data), you could use htf.escape_sc or replace, regexp_replace etc to substitute the values before you output them to your PDF.
Hope this helps,
John.

I have sync'ed a folder of photos from my other laptop to my iphone 4, i couldnt copy it from the iphone to my new laptop, even when i go through as normal internal storage the folder doesnt appears

Correct. The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Export dump only 1000 tables from the schema which contains 3000 tables.

Hi,
I have an requirement to export the dump only with particular 1000 tables from the schema which contains 3000 tables.
As I want to take the dump, I need to mention the List of tables in "TABLES" Parameter. But syntax won't allow for 1000 tables.
Kindly guide me on this to proceed further to take the dump of only particular 1000 tables.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Orahar.

if you're using 10g, you could use datapump export/import to achieve this. Not a straight way.

Hi sambanyc,
What version of Adobe Reader have you installed on your Mac?
Please try installing on a different Admin user account and check if that makes a difference.

Can not copy spaces from some pdf file

https://sites.google.com/site/sharedacrobat/data/cannot_copy_text.pdf
I'm trying to copy some text from the above pdf file (with mouse and ctrl-C). But many spaces are missing (e.g., the following text). Is it a problem with acrobat. Or it is a problem with the pdf file. I use pdftotext to conver the pdf file to a text file. The text file looks fine. Therefore, I suspect it is a bug in Acrobat. But I'm not completely. Could you please take a look and let me know what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks!

It appears that the PDF creation process was deliberately intended to make repurpose of content difficult.
--| The table description/caption uses "Calibri" font having non-standard lookup tables.
(for some relevant discussion scroll to UVSAR's post in this thread:
http://acrobatusers.com/forum/printing-prepress/pdfs-printing-garbage-characters )
--| The 3.3 font size of the table cells' content.
--| The small page size associated with dense packing of content.
Perhaps if you print to an image (from Acrobat) and OCR the resultant PDF you may be able to do something.
However, the small font size may be problematic.
Be well...

HT1040 I have an iphoto book saved as a PDF file, how do I order the book from the PDF file?

AGGHHHH! I have just finished hours of work, making an album on iphoto. I finally finished placing about the 300th photo, all cropped, edited, etc etc. I wanted to check that all the photos were in, so I hit the "clear placed photos" button, thinking it would just leave me with any I'd missed, & instead it wiped my whole album!! Is there any way I can restore it? If not I did save it as a pdf file. How to I purchase the book using the pdf file?

The way is to restore it is to restore your backup from before this happened - that is why you must have backups
As to purchasing form a PDF - not from Apple - check for web wervices who claim to be able to - google brings up sites like PrestoPrint - not recommended - not tested - simply found

Can not copy text from a pdf file

I can not copy the table caption in the above pdf. If I do so, I will get some gibberish, such as %"/*&+%",-.%&1",/*%9&,*09%&
I'm wondering what happens to the pdf file. Is there a way to fix it so that I can copy the text?

Does anybody know what cause the problem and how to fix it? The current walkaround is to convert the pdf into image, then load the image into acrobat and perform OCR. But this is tedious and some information may be lost. I'm wondering if there is a better solution.
