How to cut and paste from one PDF to another

Acrobat Pro - 2 weeks ago I could cut and paste text from one PDF to another doc or PDF but now the cursor has disappeared and I only get a hand.  I can no longer highlight text. Is there something in the settings I can change?

Is this one one pdf or all pdfs? Do you have the correct tool selected?

  • Cut and paste from one project to another.

    I am doing a  groop of project from  a trip . so they won't be so long i split it into 5 projects.  I now need to even them out a little.  How can I move some clips from on project   to the one before it or after it.  I have elements 11 and use windows vista basic.  after editing some are too short and some too long. I would like to even them out a little  by changin the starting and ending on  each clip.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    There are two options for working between 2 different Premiere Elements projects
    1. The ClipMate Premiere Elements integration for a copy/paste insert between project.prel files
    (if version 11, there will be a problem with the copy/paste insert involving transitions, but everything else works OK)

    2. Export the Timeline from one project and import the export into the other project, using appropriate project setting on either end of the exchange.
    Please review and then let us know if you need more information.
    Thanks.

  • Ver 10 automatically updated from earlier Ver (I had unchecked auto update). After update I can't cut and paste from one tab to another when doing searches.

    using the mouse or even using ctrl "c" and ctrl "v" do not work, but does work in other apps i.e. word, excel etc.

  • I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

  • (v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

    I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

    To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
    Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

  • How can i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to another?

    Trying to shuffle around the rows as part of an everchanging schedule.  When i copy and paste from one spreadsheet to the other, the images overlay each other as if i were litterally cutting them out of paper and then sloppily pasting to another. Is there a way to set them up so crosscutting is more seamless in appearance?

    JRC,
    The reason you get that result is that you are pasting the rows to the canvas of your second document instead of into an existing table.
    Instead, make a large blank table in your receiving document and paste into that table only after clicking on the cell where you want the first cell of the copied data to be positioned.

  • Does anyone know how to copy and paste from a pdf document?

    I am trying to copy and paste from a pdf document to put on facebook, but I cannot highlight the text I want to copy.
    Any suggestions???

    It is a generated pdf doc. I can highlight the text, but as soon as I let go of the mouse button, the highlighting disappears. If I right-click the mouse, there is no copy/past option. Only a select, zoom and marque tool option.

  • How to copy form data from one pdf to another?

    Hi,
    I have created a pdf, added form data to it. Saved the form data as a fdf file - all good.
    I've updated the document and saved as a new pdf and would like to load the fdf data into it.
    So I select tools - forms - more forms options, and press the "import" function  - it goes grey and nothing happens.
    If I re-open the document the import function remains greyed out.
    I can find no way to import this data.... any ideas?
    I've tried going into form edit mode - adding a new field.  The import option is no longer greyed out so I click it and can select the fdf file hit open and ... the dialogue disappears and nothing happens.
    Is my Acrobat XI 11.0.07 badly installed - or what?

    You need to learn about the different types of PDFs. PDF/ A is an archive format that does not allow changes. PDF/X is used for graphics exchange
    For forms I would use only the PDF with a target version. Do not use the Optimizer feature.
    Forms always become larger due to the need to include the font for the various form fields. You might have to review the type fonts used by the form fields and one standard font as much a possible.
    It is possible to use the FDF file to move field values from one PDF to another.
    If you are trying to replace the underlying content and keep the form fields, use the replace pages.

  • Can I Copy and Paste From One Project To Another?

    I have a scrolling title working very nicely in one project and wanted to "simply" copy and paste it into another project.  After doing the copy on project 1, when I get to project 2 to do the paste, there is nothing there to paste.  Is this something with Premiere Elements 12, or with my iMac for not keeping what I copied in the appropriate buffer?  I found something online that implied there was some software to do this but I can't believe that is the only solution. 
    I also created a "temporary" project for easier editing with pictures, transitions and sound added that I want to put into my "master" project.  I could create an avi and bring it over but I was hoping to have the finished project all in one source.  Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Rick

    Thanks for the info.  I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to do it again.  Unfortunately, I had already just re-done it in the master before I saw this.  Amazingly (to me, anyway), I couldn't even cut and paste the TEXT in the title to a Word doc just to save me from keying it in again.  (It was more than a title - it was like movie credits with names, songs, etc.)  I figured I could at least cut and paste the text.
    The bigger issue was I had done a "save as" of my main project, deleted all but the 55 pictures I had, then added transitions and music, burned it to a RW DVD so I could see how it looked, then figured if it looked good I would just copy and paste the info into my master.  Well I wound up redoing that as well once I figured out I couldn't do that.  In Pinnacle, whether it was a title or just the video track or audio or both it was a simple highlight of what I wanted, copy it, close that project, open another one, paste it in.  Done.
    I also had trouble editing today.  If I edited my pictures, maybe changed one or added one, it messed up my soundtrack.   In Pinnacle I would click a lock icon on the timeline and edit either the audio or video to my heart's content and not mess up the other track.  I could leave the audio in place but replace the video.  For my daughter's wedding, for example, I took video from 3 different cameras but used the audio from just one so it played smoothly but I could switch the video around for the best shots and it looked very good.
    Dare I ask how to lock just the audio or video track?  Don't spend a lot of time replying.  I already edited my music file by putting it way out in the timeline where there wasn't any video track.  Then I could split the audio clip, copy part of it, and paste it back in.  I needed the music to last a little longer while the pictures were displaying.  Then when I was done I moved it where I wanted, but even at that, I had to be careful because moving it sometimes messed up the video track if I didn't do it just right.
    The good news is I'm pretty much done with my video.

  • Cut and paste from one block diagram to another?

    Is it possible to cut objects from the block diagram of one vi and paste them into the block diagram of another vi?
    Also, is it possible to "comment out" parts of a block diagram like you can in a text based program? That is, can you disable "code" on a block diagram without removing it from the diagram entirely?

    CVI is much easier to me than LabVIEW, maybe since I've been programming extensively in C for 20 years. But boss says we gotta use LabVIEW. It's the politically correct thing to do.
    Lots of LabVIEW advocates in management here. Few have done anything of significance with it. Some use Signal Express and call it LabVIEW. I guess they're technically correct. SE says LabVIEW on the splash page.

  • How to cut and paste from/to a canvas?

    Could someone refer me to a documentation or tell me how I can cut/copy from or paste to a Canvas?
    In terms of creating a blackboard on which to draw, should I use a Canvas or is it better if I went with a JPanel settting editable to true?
    Thx!

    Anyone have any idea how to cut & paste using a canvas? Is there any documentation or online help?
    How do I capture the images drawn on a canvas by an end-user or a part of the images drawn?
    Help (serious) will be greatly appreciated.

  • Swatch palette becomes full of unused colors when copy and paste from one document to another!!

    sometimes (i haven't found a pattern yet of when) when i copy and paste an object that is solid black (for example) into another Illustrator document, a bunch of unused swatches copy into the swatch palette for no reason! lots of "default global colors" and PMS swatches. i then have to 'select all unused' and delete them all to clean out the palette (which always seems to stall while thinking when selecting or deleting them). often times i get the global swatch warning (always 2x, not just once) before placing an object and before the whole swatch palette fills up with unused colors.
    this has only happened recently in the last few months and i have been using Illustrator for years so i'm not sure what's stemming this. a new update? has anyone else noticed this problem and know a solution? is there a preference checked somewhere that i don't know about?
    guess i should mention i'm on CS3 Illustrator running MAC OS 10.5.6
    thanks,
    kim

    I've had this problem before as well and it has to do with a currupt file that your coppying from. It's too complicated to explain here so here is my fix for it.
    I take the file and save it down or up in CS1. Open infected file in CS1. Create a new file in CS1 the same size as the one you've opened. Select all and drag and drop into the new empty file. Don't copy paste, it must be dragged into the file. You can then delete all global colours and save your file. The curruption will be gone. There's a way to check suspect files to see if they have the deleted global colours present. Open your suspect file in a text editor like simple text, scroll down a little way and if you see a bunch of lines of code mentioning "deleted global colours" then you know it's infected and has to be fixed.
    Hope this helps
    Here is another idea from a bit of research I just did. Don't know if this works or not but you might want to give it a try and it explains the issue in more detail

  • Copy and paste from one timeline to another results in audio problem

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a showreel by copying and pasting segments of edited sequences from the original timeline into a new 'showreel' timeline (in a separate project).
    I keep having a problem with the audio when I paste the sequence. Dialogue seems to repeat, even though on the timeline the video and audio lines appear exactly the same as they do in the original timeline. I've tried to copy and paste the individual audio clips separately but it still seems to cause the same problem.
    I've searched the discussion boards but can't seem to find any threads describing a similar problem.
    If anyone has any advice I'd be really grateful.
    Thanks..

  • Cut and paste form one email to another works erratically with this release.

    Occasionally use portions of a received email to forward on - use cut (cntl C) and paste (Cntl V) to do this. Can select the text I want to cut but the T'Bird message I'm pasting into will not accept it. I can paste that cut piece into other packages (i.e. Word) so know the Cut was OK. Other than that, love the new look!!!

    try pasting as unformatted Ctrl + Shift + V

  • How can I automate pasting from one document into another?

    Hi, I have a need for a document that I am regularly appending a blank form from another document to. I would typically just open the second document and select and copy the block of text and then return to my working document and enter a page break and then paste in the form, over and over.  I do this so often that a way to automate this would be a huge help.  However I have had little luck working with automator myself probably because I am missing something.  But I would appreciate any ideas....Thanks

    If you took time to read carefully Pages User Guide, you would know this well described feature :
    and you would use it to build a template as I urged you to do.
