Copying text from excel table in PDF, pastes rectangle boxes into other programs.
Adobe acrobat X Std.
I have a PDF file with text, graphics and an excel table in it.
I add comments to the PDF file and reprint it to a new PDF file.
In the new file I cannot select text from the excel table and paste it into anything.
When I paste into word or other programs I get rectangle boxes.
If I go to the original PDF I the text copies just fine.
Any ideas would be great.
Here is a video!!

I am just about giving up! I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 (4.3). Now when I copy text from an incoming email and paste it into Pages it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it. It has a border round it and corner markers. I have never had this problem before. I have looked at every conceivable thing but cannot find how to get rid of this Object and just paste in the wanted text. If I fiddle and fiddle within this text I can eventually get a cursor and work on the text - but how on earth can I get rid of the surrounding box?
I don't know if this is at all clear but I can't think of any other way to describe this - but it looks like this in Pages with corner and top, bottom and side markers.

LeciaPeter hello - I have been copying and pasting for as long as I can remember and it has NEVER done this before - so why now!? Anyway, Jerry has told me about Paste and Match Style --- yet another new thing!
I have also discovered that I don''t need to hold down Option when I go to Save to get Save As - I can hold down 4 keys (shift, option, command and S) and it will bring up Save As!!
Thanks for your response.

On the IPad, can I copy text from an online source then paste to Pages?
Many times from ebooks as part of my own personal research,
I like to copy text from various sources
then later review the text of the copied information to render my own conclusions.
How do I copy from online sources and books and then paste into Pages?Only if the iBook is NOT DRM protected, whch means no for the majority of titles in iTunes. You can Copt from your own PDFs or from something like the iOS User Guide, some free titles, but not from most things.
You will find that to be the case with most other book apps as well. -
I have to fill in forms regarding foster children every week, then export the text to an on-line data recording system for each child. The old pages let me copy (cmdA ) the whole document and past it into where it needs to go.
The new version includes inverted commas and I have to copy the document headers separately from the information contained in the table.

Copying data from excel(more than one row) and pasting into table control
I have a requirement to copy data from excel and have it pasted it into the corresponding fields table control when the user clicks on an icon.For the first part I used a class to copy it from the clip board.By the previous process,I get the data inside an internal table, but even after trying to split the data using 'split at cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab into table itab.' it's not working.The table and the excel file are of the same structure.
Does anyone know any cause as to why it might not work?Is there any other way to achieve my objective?

Copy text from table to table issue
Using CS6 on PC Win 7 64bit
not noticed this before probably becasue I usually copy in from Excel or Word docs, but when I copy text from one table to another in a document its copying it as a nested table,
if I just copy a single cell then thats ok but anything else its placed as a table within the target table.
Probably something really obvious I've overlooked, but its driving me nuts
Have looked in prefs and Clipboard is set for just text, apart from that I cant see anything
thanks for any help you can giveHi Bob
thanks for that speedy reply.
I've just been doing some testing and I'm not sure if the results I'm getting are how things should be.
I just called up one of my recent excel tables and did what I usually do, highlight from the top left cell to the bottom right hand corner cell, Ctrl-C
Excel table is always 11 column but the number of rows varies from week to week, from 50 or so to 250.
Opened an ID table template I use which width wise is the same amount of columns as my source excel file 11 columns, but only a few rows.
Place the cursor and highlight the first row in ID Ctrl-V, table is filled and it auto inserts more rows to the limit of the object box and then I just drag the table down to fill the page and then just click and drag the loaded cursor to create more table space on the next page if needed, nice and simple.
Just opened a new table with 6 rows and 4 columns
and tried to paste into a table with 2 rows and 4 columns expecting it to automatically fill and give me the overfill red icon on the frame but it doesnt
but it does with text from outside of ID, I just tested it, it automatically fills all the table and adds rows until the object fram is ful and then I can just use the overfill facility to increase the table size
Seems odd that this only works with externally copied material -
Copy text from FrameMaker 11 to another editor
It appears that one cannot copy text in FrameMaker 11 and paste it into another editor such as Notepad++ or MS Word. It is as though FrameMaker does not use the Windows clipboard. We observe this behavior with WYSIWYG View and Author View. On the other hand, we can copy text from the XML View and paste into these other editors with no problem.
This issue seems to have been introduced with FrameMaker 11, as we can copy and paste the identical text from FrameMaker 10. As another data point, unstructured FrameMaker 11 also allows copy and paste to an external editor.
Can anyone provide insight into why this behavior occurs and how we might modify it?
Thank you,
--larry0Hi Russ,
I tried your suggestion and saw no difference between the keyboard shortcut and the menu command. However, your question about there being anything unusual in our files led me to think about what might be different. The difference is that we use DITA-FMx. I converted back to native FM DITA and the anomaly disappeared.
I'll contact Scott Prentice directly about this issue to minimize traffic on this forum.
Thank you for your help,

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? -

Copy text from PDF and paste to imessage
Before iOS7 I would be able to copy text from a PDF file and paste it normally into a text message or imessage. Now when doing the same thing it doesn't paste the actual text I copied, but it pastes as an html attachment. Have I changed a setting or is this just a bug that needs to be fixed? Please help.
I get the PDF in an email and open to view it. Not sure what the pdf opens in automatically, but that is the way I've been doing it since I've had the iphone 4 and haven't had issues until ios7.
I just now tried to opened a file in the default view and then switched it to open in Adobe reader and I can copy and paste normally. So now i have to do an extra step all the time? -
Copying text from pdf, "square" characters
Using SQL 2005 standard edition.
I have an issue with pdf generated reports. When copying text from the pdf (from a cell in a table row) the characters are just pasted as "squares" into notepad\word etc. Each character is just a small square. I am using Arial font and not doing anything outside of the norm. This is also an inconsistent problem, it doesnt happen on all cells\tables but only on particular ones. Could it be data specific?
Anyone come across this before?It is not data specific but the format specific. There are many similar issues commonly encountered. The reason is that the format in the clipboard cannot be well recognized by notepad or word. You can refer to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212318
From which you can read:"Microsoft Word does not directly support conversion from Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF is the format in which documents are saved for viewing and exchange in the Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat Exchange for Windows."
For those words if you could not copy/paste successfully, you may use some tools from Adobe company to extract the data from PDF file to some recognized format such as HTML. I know that there is a tool which can do this conversion:

Reading long text from excel file to an internal table
Hi
Can any body tell me how to read long text from excel file to an internal table.
When i am using this FM KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT then it is reading only 32 characters from each cell.
But in my excel sheet in one of the cell has very long text which i need to upload into a internal table.
may i know which FM or what logic i need to use for this problem.
RegardsHi,
Here is an example program. It will upload an Excel file with two columns. You could also assign the Excel structure dynamically, but I wanted to keep the example simple. The main point is that the internal table (it_excel in this example) must match the Excel structure that you want to convert.
Remember, this is just an example to help you figure out how to properly use the technique. It will certainly need to be modified to fit your requirements, and as always there may be a better way to get the Excel converted... this is just one possibility that has worked for me in the past.

Imac Mac OS X (10.4.7)Rishi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
After reading your post, I tried to duplicate this problem. I opened a PDF, selected a sentence, then copied it to the clipboard. I then opened Pages, selected the blank template, then pasted in the text. It pasted perfectly.
Does this problem happen with all text in a PDF? With different PDFs?
