How do you cut and paste text from Adobe Reader 11 into Word?

Using Windows 8.1.  Recently purchased Adobe Reader 11.  Need to cut and paste text from PDF into Word docs.  Docs are not locked and content should be available for editing.  Have figured out how to highlight the text through the Comment tools, but nothing (right-clicking, going to Edit pulldown) menu gives me a Copy option.  How do I cut and paste the text?

Good to know that I got what I paid for with the Export PDF.I just went
into the document that I am trying to cut and paste from and highlighted a
piece of text.  Clicked right, checked the Edit pulldown, and then did
Ctrl+C (assuming you meant Ctrl and then C, rather than holding them both
down together).  Still no Copy option anywhere.
Properties for the document I am trying to work with do say "Content
Copying: Allowed" under Security. Since I can highlight text, I assumed
that the text is there (not a photo scan) so that I can copy it.  Should I
look somewhere else under properties to confirm this?
As I did last night, I also opened up a document that I have cut and pasted
extensively from before-so I know the text is there and manipulable.
Attempted to cut and paste from it, using the same methods above.  Again,
no option to copy with any of them.
Perhaps I should clarify that by cut-and-paste, I do mean that I want to
copy the text from the original and then transfer it to a Word doc that I
am writing.  I am not trying to do anything with the original other than
copy from it--not cutting anything out of the document itself.
Is there a way to do this with the Adobe 11 reader.  At this point, I am
wondering if I need to uninstall Adobe 11 and try to go back to Adobe 10 or
whatever the reader was that was installed on my computer when I bought it
(Dell Inspiron touch-screen laptop purchased in May 2013, if that gives any
idea of which reader might have been installed there.  That version did,
however, have some other limitations that made me want to get Adobe 11. Any
ideas about what to do now.

  • How do I cut and paste text from a Word doc to my yahoo email?

    I am suddenly unable to cut and paste from a Word document into the body of my yahoo email. I never had this problem before, but recently trying to paste my resume into the site 4entertainmentjobs.com, I ran into trouble. I followed your instructions and found my profile folder, but there was no user.js file in there. I created one in text edit and replaced mozilla.org with 4entertainmentjobs.com, but it still didn't work. Today I tried to go back and put Mozilla back in, but I still cannot get it to work. Then I downloaded your add-on "allow clipboard". That did not work either.

    Here are two files you can check on/help me with.  When I try again,  it
    comes up 'an error has occurred when trying to access the service.'
    Please advise.

  • How do you cut and paste files from a Macbook?

    I am trying to cut (edit, select all, cut) and paste from a Macbook Pro, but when I try to paste into an external hard-drive, the paste function is greyed-out.  Command V doesn't even do anything.  How can I complete this simple task?  Thank you. 

    The hard drive is probably not Mac-writeable - likely it's NTFS (Windows) format.
    If it's empty, you can reformat it to Mac format using Disk Utility.
    If it has files that you need and/or you don't want to reformat, you can try Paragon NTFS to allow you to write to the drive.

  • When I cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I get an error stating 'Out of memory, close applicantions and restart windows'. This does not work. When I had IE I never had this issue. Help!

    When I try to cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I receive an error that says 'Not enough memory, close applications and restart windows'. This never works! I never had this issue with IE! How can I fix this issue?

    If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
    If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
    Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
    That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
    Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck!

  • HT3737 how do you cut and paste on an iMac

    how do you cut and paste on an imac

    If you're talking about cut and paste as you would do with files and folder on a Windows box you do it in a round about way.
    Either Copy ⌘C, (Yes copy not cut), and then move, ⌘⌥V (a variation on paste ⌘V).
    If you're a mouser.
    Right click the File and choose Copy from.....
    The right click the folder you want to move it to but hold down the option key and Paste item.....
    ...will change to Move item here.

  • I just cut and pasted photos from the phone into my HP and now I can't open the files in the computer.

    I just cut and pasted photos from my Iphone into my HP.
    NOw when I go and try to open the files from the computer it's giving me an error:
    INVALID IMAGE
    The file format is not supported or is invalid
    WHat's confusing is that all files copy into my computer are already JPG. I have not changed anything, simply cut photos from my phone and copy them in my computer.
    I need help !!! I have a lot of my baby photos and videos that I really want to recover.
    PLEASE !
    thank you

    Try using a photo import utility or application for this instead of doing it the archaic manual way. Even Windoze includes a scanner and camera wizard that can be used for this.

  • Why can't you copy and paste text from the Dictionary widget?

    I use this dictionary often, but I wish that I was able to copy and paste the text from it.

    Just use the Dictionary application in the Applications folder. You will have no problem copying and pasting text from the full application. I just tried it and it works fine.

  • How do you cut and paste tables in and out of Excel from either Mail.app or Outlook 2011?

    When I try to cut and paste a table generated in Excel for Mac into the body of an email the formatting holds but when I send the table is reduced to one column. Same is true for copying from incoming mail into Excel, when I paste into Excel it is reduced to one column rather than keeping the table format. I have tried using mail.app and went out and Outlook 2011 and both programs have the same issue. The reformatting also happens when I forward an email received from a coworker that contains a table, not just on cut and paste operations.
    I need to do this regularly and right now my only option is using my old PC where the cut and paste function keeps formatting between Excel and Outlook just fine. Attaching a pdf or excel file is not an option. There has to be a way to maintain the formatting and being able to extract the tables keeping them intact. Please let me know if you have a solution to maintain this formatting within email programs. Thank you in advance.

    Selecting all does not help - the issue is I need a table within an incoming email to be moved to excel, edited and then pasted back into a new email. "Select All" picks up the email headers, signatures, any messages around the table etc so that doesn't work. Also, as pointed out above Excel doesn't have a select all feature to get the tables back into the body of an email.
    I just tried again going from Excel into Outlook 2011. No luck. All one column down the left side of the email. All columns are removed and text crammed into one column. Just to check I cut from one Excel document and pasted into another and it retained all formating just fine. It is only in and out of Outlook that seems to be the issue.

  • How do you cut and paste sections of a slideshow?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is possible to cut and paste sections of a slideshow. I have a slideshow with about 6 songs. I would like to rearrange the songs and the pictures that are synced up with them. I have only been able to select the whole project. I would assume this is possible I just can not figure it out. Thanks!

    See this [video Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#backgroundaudio ] for how to rearrange the songs.
    You can cut or copy and paste multiple slides. Hold the command key down as you left click additional slides to cut or copy.
