I have problem copy from Adobe Reader to MS Word

I copied text from pdf and when phasted onto MS Word, it turns out funny characters.

Probably, the font used isn't installed in your system, and the creator of the PDF file didn't embed it properly.

Bug? - Spaces missing when copying from Adobe Reader

I have found that when attempting to copy text from some documents (in Adobe Reader)on IOS, to paste into a writer program, that all the spaces are missing.
There is not aproblem with the same document / Adobe reader on my Windows PC.
There was also not a problem copying from the same document using another reader (ios FileBrowser native reader), then pasting.
I quick Google found that I was not alone...
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/plaintext/2Bs49s1K9_o/KTwelaiqEIsJ
This link lays out the issue, not common to all IOS PDF readers, with a solution: use another reader.
Is there a solution for this in Adobe Reader, or how can it be reported to Adobe?

There are no spaces there. That is not how pdf files are constructed. HOWEVER, on PCs and Macs, the applications are smart enough to figure that spaces should be inserted into the text being copied. The iOS app is not smart enough to figure out on certain pdfs that it should insert spaces on copying from those problemsome pdfs. Adobe does have a feature request/bug reporting form where you can report the problem:

Problem printing from Adobe Reader .pdf with Brother printer from a Mac

I have a macbook pro with Intel Core i7 and OS X Yosemite and Brother MFC-7360N printer connected by wifi. My problem is that I can print everything from all programs except from the Adobe Reader .pdf that do I print from my Preview files .. The error I get is "Error filter". Does anyone know where can originate the error and how to fix it?

With another O.S. in another computer is OK.
Thank you

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.

In Windows 8 environment--can't print from Adobe reader

Hi there. I have problems printing from Adobe reader in a Windows 8 environment. The printing defaul is "OneNote", and I can't get to the print screen to change it to my normal printer. When you try to print (with button or Ctrl-P) the print screen opens for a split second and then Adobe reader closes.
I would like to disable "OneNote" as the default, but can't get the print screen to stay open long enough for me to select my regular printer. I would be grateful for advice. I am sure there is an easy fix--I just don't know what it is. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe reader, so i was able to print for the rest of that one day. Nest day--back to square one.
Thanks.

Did all the updates thru 8.1.7. Now it tells me to print the document I need to activate Adobe which I did when I installed it. Under the Help screen the activation tab is greyed out. If I did de-activate it on my old laptop I don’t think it would change the state of this tab.

Can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader 7!

A few months ago I started having problems printing from Adobe Reader 7.
I can view PDFs fine. I can also view PDFs online through Safari with the Adobe Reader plug in.
What I've resorted to doing is using Preview to open PDFs that I've saved from Adobe Reader, and I can print fine through Preview.
But that isn't quite a good fix for me!
I can also print documents in other formats from plenty of other applications, so I know it's not a printer-talking-to-Mac issue.
What happens is this - I have a PDF open in Adobe and send it to print. The printer comes up in the dock like its working. After an appropriate amount of time (the time one would expect the document to print), it disappears from the dock as though it is done printing. But no document ever prints. And the printer never displays that it is receiving information to print.
Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time working on this problem to no avail.
I ran "detect and repair" in Adobe Reader but no problems were found.
I threw away Adobe Reader 7 (I think I was up to 7.0.7) and its preferences and other files and downloaded and installed Reader 6. I still couldn't print from Reader.
I installed patches and updates incrementally to from Reader 6 to 7.0.5 by allowing Reader to update itself, but that didn't help.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. That didn't fix the problem.
I tried printing the document through Reader as an "image," but it just crashed the Reader.
I also downloaded and ran "Printer Setup Repair" (something I saw suggested in someone else's post about an Adobe print problem) but that didn't help matters either.
I'm sort of stumped. I'll also post this to the Adobe forums, but from what I've seen the folks over there are not really Mac users.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers!

Ann,
A few more thoughts or your dilemma...You might try looking at your system.log with the utility Console to see if it might give you a clue to the problem. (Not that I understand all the stuff in those logs, but when MS Word and Quark did not produce printouts, the Console log named the problem fonts.)
The culprit may be the Adobe Reader PPD or Plugin. The path to those are HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD and HD/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin. So if you try deleting Adobe Reader stuff again, be sure to delete those docs too, before re-installing.
Note: I use Acorbat Pro 7 so I do not know if the filenames ADPDF7.PPD and AdobePDFPDE700.plugin are the same for Reader, but the paths might be helpful.
Before uninstalling and re-installing both Adobe PhotoShop and Reader, I would suggest that you check the integrity of you hard drive. Overtime, stuff gets out of place and some applications are more sensitive than others. If there is something wrong on the hard drive, replacing the applications will still produce the same problem. Repairing disk is different from repairing permissions. As in my previous post, boot up your computer with your OS 10.3.x Install Disk 1 and launch the Disk Utility app from the CD. Click on Repair Disk...
Hope this helps.

I am now unable to print pdf documents. The message on screen says I have not selected any pages to print, even though the bullet point saying 'All' pages has been clicked. I have recently upgraded to adobe reader XI, could that be the problem? I also cannot sign in to Adobe Export pdf now either. It says 'error occured while signing in'!

Open Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | Documents: change View Documents in PDF/A Mode to Never.
Regarding the ExportPDF problem, please start a new topic in the ExportPDF forum.

Xfdf post problem introduced in Adobe Reader 9.1.2?

Hi,
In the past couple weeks, we've had many customers reporting errors with using the xfdf post-back feature of Adobe Acrobat docuements we use.
They said this was not a problem before they upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem here with Adobe Reader 9.1.2, but I'm guessing that maybe their configuration is slightly different from my test configuration of machine/Adobe Reader 9.1.2...
To summarize how we use xfdf post-back:
1.) The Adobe Acrobat .pdf has a button image with the Acrobat variant of javascript handling a "button push" to do an http post of the xfdf data to our server.
2.) The server then processes the xfdf data.
This has always worked fine in the past, but would appear to (under some yet unspecified client-side circumstances), cause an error. Note: the server-side appears to not be the root of the problem because the same server is used with the client-machines (client-machines meaning the acrobat plug-in inside an IE browser) that do work, and also with the client-machines that don't work.
Additional note: The client-machines that do work...always work. The client-machines that don't work, never work.
Attached is a screenshot of the Microsoft Fiddler (protocol monitor tool) request and response data of the xfdf post.
Thoughts on what might be the problem?
Thanks!

Thank you very much for your response but unfortunately none of the suggested solutions have worked. When pressing F8 then F8 again, the picture icon toolbar toggles between not being shown and then being shown again so no Save options appear. When pressing F9, nothing happens at all. When pressing Ctrl+Shift+S an adobe message appears in the middle of the screen stating the following "This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat 9, Pro 9 or Pro Extended 9. You will only be saving a copy of the original document. Do you want to continue?" It then prompts you with "OK" or "Cancel". Upon pressing "OK" absolutely nothing happens. I have seen this type of message many times before when trying to save pdf files and it has successfully saved the file but for some reason nothing happens in this version of adobe reader. Do you have any other thoughts at all as to how to solve this?
