How to stop an embedded PDF online from being copied and pasted?

I have an issue which I need assistance with please.
I can secure a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat XI and it disables it from being copied and pasted (right-click brings no such options) but, when I upload it online (to Wordpress) and link to it then it opens in Adobe Reader (or whatever PDF viewer the user has installed on their computer) and because of this they can highlight the text and right-click and then copy and paste it to a Word document and such, even though this was not possible in Adobe Acrobat XI but as soon as it goes online it is possible. How can this be prevented?
Basically I want to embed PDF's online for others to read and view directly online but I want to disable them from copying and pasting text - can this be done?
Many thanks.
Ian

If I allowed the secured PDF as a download instead (because it could not be embedded) and they tried to edit it with their PDF software I assume the encryption on it and restrictions (e.g. no copy and paste) would still be enforced?
Not a correct assumption. Some PDF software respects security and some doesn't. This has nothing to do with whether it is embedded or downloaded.
Many people face this issue, but it is best to just get used to the idea that what you put on the web can be saved, shared, emailed, copied and recirculated. That's how the web is. Even if copy/paste wasn't allowed, the user could just do a screen capture and paste that. If that weren't allowed they could photograph the screen. And for some of the older generation, it even occurs to them to retype what they want...!

How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend a LOT of money
on DRM protection.

PDF application that can copy and paste

Hi, is there a PDF reader that I can use to read iBooks and then be able to copy and paste certain sections? I have PDF reader pro but it does not have the copy/paste feature and I'm not able to find anything else suitable. Please can you advise?
Thank you.

I have GoodReader on my iPad. It's a great app but unfortunately will not let you copy a PDF page in its original format - you have to use the Text Reflow option, which extracts text from the page and then copy the entire page.
I too am looking for an App that will allow me to copy the actual page but so far have not been able to find one. If anyone knows of such an app, please do let us know...

How to stop the std SUS method from being called

Hi
I am working on SRM - EDI integration for NON SUS vendor.I am using a custom mapping and custom method call in this case.i have placed the logic in the std. mapping BADI - BBP_SAPXML1_OUT_BADI.i am triggering my custom method call in this method only.but i am unable to stop the control flow here after as i need not to trigger the Std. process.
Regards,
Durgaprasad Kare.

Hi Durga,
The BADI BBP_SAPXML1_OUT_BADI is meant for mapping purposes in the outbound proxy object and cannot be used to control the message flow.
What I would suggest you to code the custom logic in the BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI where is you can check the vendor and determine the custom message needs to be trigerred. Besides you have a check at XI level to block those mesages that are not needed.
Regards

How do I cut out an image from one photo and paste it in another photo?

Help! I did use the scissors and eraser tool to cutout unwanted background, and now I have an image I want to save and copy to another photo. The problem is that Elements 11 won't let me open up another photo at the same time, or let me copy the selected image to clipboard to paste on a different photo. Adobe's info. on how to do this seems to be sketchy.

Try this:
Open photo B, the one that you want to add an object to. Minimize this.
Open Photo A, and using one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, make a selection of the object that is to be transferred to B. You will see "marching ants" when the selection is complete.
Go to Edit menu>copy to place the selection on the clipboard
Go back to photoB
Go to Edit>paste
With the move tool, position the object and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box.

On the Ink Frog website, when I copy from a Word text file to insert into their auction lister, a tracking header is inserted.
When I insert "Line of copy", this shows up:

Copy and Paste from PDF Looses Formatting in SL

Hi Everyone,
I've discovered a strange problem in snow leopard. Prior to upgrading to snow leopard, I was able to copy and paste from a PDF in Preview into Word, save as a text file, and preserve the formatting of the original PDF. This was important because I had written a perl program that extracted relevant information from the text file (the one based on the PDF) to generate reports. The PDF was not scanned but generated from some sort of batch program, and the output has columns and rows. I tried to copy and paste today, after upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, and no matter what I tried (including paste special) the formatting when copying from the PDF to Word was lost. I tried Adobe reader as well as Skim and tried copying into TextEdit but nothing worked. I even tried exporting from Adobe reader as a text file but have the same problem.
Being a good upgrader, I kept a backup of my Leopard install. After booting from it, copy and paste work as before and I was able to generate a properly formatted text file. From my experience with this, it appears as though the way snow leopard renders a PDF, or works with copying and pasting, is different than previous operating systems. Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to make snow leopard's copying and pasting work as it did in Leopard before?
If it helps, the machine I was using was my wife's white MacBook, 2 GHz with 2 MB of RAM.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

I likewise rely on ChemDraw and Pages/Keynote for my research and teaching. This is unfortunately an enormous problem, as I use these programs on a daily basis. I will be re-installing Leopard until the problem is resolved. Chambridgesoft's reply to the issue is that "The current version of ChemDraw/ChemBioDraw (12.0.0) was developed and released prior to the release of Snow Leopard. Therefore, ChemDraw 12.0.0 has not been officially tested and qualified under this operating system. We hope to support Snow Leopard in future in a future point release." I guess they couldn't get a hold of a development build? As I'm using ChemDraw Ultra 11.0 I will obviously not be supported in any case.
Judging from other replies, the problem seems to stem from SN copying as a .tiff rather than a .pict? Perhaps someone has a fix to make SN copy as .pict?

When I try copying some content from a webpage and paste it to quickoffice document or in e Mail. all the text copies but, no graphics/pictures. how to get them pasted?

I tried copying some content from various websites (open content from plian HTML pages) and tried to paste it in Quickoffice document as well as in mai application. all the text got pasted properly however the content had some graphics and pictures in it that did not get pasted. So, I want to know if there is any way I can do the copy and paste from website including embedded graphics

You will need to copy and paste the images separately from the text. Or you can try pasting into TextEdit. However, it should work if the editor can handle RTFD files as does TextEdit. You cannot copy images to a plain text document or editor.

Copy and paste From cs6 to cc 2014 Problem

Hi when i try to copy text or anything really from Indesign cs6 and try and paste it in CC 2014 why does it convert it to a image? I cannot edit it when i copy and paste. All the content stays the same but is i am guessing converted to outlines. How can i stop this? It did just fine copying and pasting from cs6 to CC from last year but not with the new update. Please help
Thanks
Chris

The reason we did it was because our CS6 has q2id installed on it and CC does not. One person that works here didnt want to just save the file in CS6 and just open it in CC later. I just wanted to know if there was a setting i could undo to stop it from importing like that.

Go to Settings/ Store and under the category "Automatic Downloads" you can turn OFF the automatic download of purchases to your device (this needs to be done for each device). There's also a setting in iTunes just for automatic pushes to your iTunes library.
To remove a purchase you've made directly to your device, you can either:
a- Swipe across the song title from left to right and press Delete, or
b- If you auto-sync your device, connect to iTunes and click on the Music tab where you define your sync settings (the Music tab is to the right of the overall Summary page of your device). At the bottom of the Music tab you'll see direct purchases that are on your device -- simply un-check those and click "Apply" or "Sync" to remove them.
c- If you manually manage music on your device, connect to iTunes and click the small arrow to the left of your device name, and then click on the Music folder under your device. Then navigate to the item(s) you want to remove and then delete them.
To prevent things from syncing from your library to your device, there are many ways to do that (un-checking things in your library is one way, but not the best IMO). Might want to read the manual or some online tutorials on iTunes if you want to learn more.

How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.
