Is it possible to copy bookmark text between PDF's please?

Hello - am new to Acrobat so hope this is not a really dumb question. I am working on a series of Powerpoint documents which I then convert to PDf's. The cli
ent wants these bookmarked by section. (170 slides all individually labelled by content so they can go straight to different sections)) These documents are then updated monthly and I wondered if there was a way I could save or copy the bookmarks text that I have created to save typing it all in again every time I create a new PDF? Thanks in anticipation.

In the old document with the bookmarks use the menu Document > Replace Pages...

Copy/Paste text between Photoshop & illustrator CC not keeping formatting

Hi, before when I copied text over from photoshop to illustrator it kept the text formatting. For example the font, font size, color.
Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost and everything is placed as whatever the current AI text setting is.
HOWEVER, pasting from AI to PS WORKS as it should. All font/text formatting is maintained.
Is this a bug or is there a setting for this that I just never knew about?

Now when I use CC and copy paste text from PS to AI, all text formatting is lost
Seems to work for me on Photoshop 14.0 and Mac OS 10.8.4.

Bookmark text in PDF being truncated at 40 characters

I created styles (H1-H5) in my Word document. When I convert the Word document to PDF and generate a Bookmark structure, the Bookmark text in the PDF truncates my long headings at 40 characters. Any advise on how to stop the truncation of the text?
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Message was edited by: mda102685 - The error/issue is not with Acrobat. I found that if I saved the Word file as a PDF with the 'options' checked 'Create bookmarks using headings', all heading text is displayed in the bookmark without truncation.

The error/issue is not with Acrobat. As you save the Word file as a PDF open the 'options' box and check the box 'Create bookmarks using headings'; all heading text should be displayed in the bookmark without truncation.

Copy Highlighted Text in Pdf file

Hi everyone,
Recently I downloaded the Adobe Reader X (version 10.0). This version allows me to highlight text (in yellow colour). However, If I want to copy a highlighted block of text (for instance to paste into a Word document), I am not able to do this. When I select the highlighted text and click on the right mouse click, it doesn't give me the opportunity to copy this text. Therefore, I was wondering whether I can copy the highlighted text in another way?
Thanks in advance for a reply.
Kind regards,
Sleighon

Indeed, I do not understand what the problem is. When I tested it yesterday (using Reader 11.0.1) I actually took some screenshot, but I didn't think it necessary to post them. I'll do it now.
Opening a random PDF from My Documents
then highlight some text
apply the Select Tool (using right-click)
select the same highlighted text
copy (Ctrl+C) then paste it into an empty Word document
Ok, the highlighting did not get copied over - is this the problem?

Copy paste text between documents bug

Hi
When I copy paste styled text (text or text containers) between CS6 (or CC) documents, the language for the text changes to a wrong one (from Finnish to English: British), along with the spelling of course. The style does follow correctly to the fresh new document, but ID makes an exception to the style for this pasted text (Style1+). The transferred style itself still has the correct language defined.
Doesn't happen when copy pasting within the same document.
All default languages are correct (default and within styles). Deleting preferences did nothing.
Anyone else has this? Any suggestions on how to correct this. I seem to remember there was something like this ages ago too.

Thanks Uwe
• New user: no help.
• Save as or IDML: no change, same problem.
• Snippet: language does remain correctly Finnish!
• ID5.5: no problem at all! Language remains correct.
So, this is my persistent problem:
• Any text with a style on it becomes (as a local exception to style) wrong language when copy-pasted or dragged as a whole page between docs.
• The styles them selves transfer correct. Clicking style for each paragraph again sets the correct language (but the original local adjustments are lost).
• No style has [Basic Paragraph] as a parent and [Basic Paragraph]'s and the general default language are Finnish, too. The wrong language (English: British) is not used anywhere.
• Text with no style remains correctly Finnish (target default).
• IDML: same problem. Save As: same problem.
• IDMS: language remains correct.
• Trashing preferences doesn't help.
• New user account doesn't help.
• Effected versions: ID CC (9.1 fi), ID CS6 (8.0.2 fi). CS5.5 (7.5.1 en) is not effected. System is Mac 10.8.5 (fi).
• CC has no extra plugins. CS6 and CS5.5 have Suitcase (F4) plugin only as extra.

Copying Hyperlinked Text from PDF to Word (or elsewhere)

Hello-
I am at my wit's end, so I hope someone can help... I have a PDF with text that hyperlinks to a web page. It works great within Acrobat Pro, but if I try to copy and paste that text/hyperlink into an email, or word file, it loses the underlying hyperlink and only retains the text.
Example: The text would say "Click here to hear about Company X and Solution Y" and all of this text is hyperlinked to "www.google.com/companyx" or whatever. When I copy and paste that from the PDF into another application, I am left with the "click here" text, but not the underlying web page.
Here is the tricky part. I have found that if I select additional text that is not hyperlinked in addition to the hyperlinked text, and then right-click over the non-linked text, I get an option to "copy with formatting". Now I am able to copy/paste as one would expect. The problem is that this is not intuitive at all.
Can someone please let me know if this is a problem with PDF's, or if I can change settings when I Export out of InDesign? Or is there some other workaround?
Thank you SO much in advance!

Here is a visual example of what I am referring to, showing the right-click location and the different options that appear. (The blue selection box is from me selecting and dragging around the question from a non-text area)

Copy paste text from pdf exported from Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer control with Czech specific characters produced box charactex or ?.

Used Visual studio 2012. In our project there is used the Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer control. In the report handled by the control are TextBoxs with a text with Czech specific characters e.g. (ř, ě, ...) . When exporting the report to pdf,
characters are displayed correctly. However when the text with czech characters in the pdf if copied and placed into the seach box in the pdf document only box characters are displayed. The TextBox in the report use the default font Arial. When the report
is exported to Word, and then the Word document is saved as a pdf document, its ok. Coping a text with Czech charactes in the result pdf document and pasting into the search box displays again Czech characters not box characters.
Also when in the report handled by the ReportViewer control are several Tex Boxes and some of the boxes contains Czech characters and some not, after exporting to a pdf document there is problem with text selection. When in the pdf document I'm trying to
select several paragraphs, some with Czech characters and some without them, selection behaves strangely and jumps from one paragraph to another unexpectedly.

Hi,
did you managed to avoid those squares?
BTW: if any such char. is encountered in a line, the entire line of text is grabbled.
I've tried even the ReportViewer from MSSQL 2014, but got the same problem. When I've tried IL Spy, I found a code, where it is checked if the PDFFont is composite - depending on that a glyph is created. But that still only a guess.
I've tried Telerik's reporting, they have similar problem (beside other), but not with the special characters. They produced scuares for some sequences like: ft, fi, tí.
Please give any info you got.
Until then my advices for you:
a) try JasperReports (seems theyre most advanced, although it is java)
b) Developer express has quiet quality reports - and it seems they got those special chars. right :D
c) I created a ticket and waiting for Telerik's response (but if I had to choose reporting, I vould stick with a) or b)

Is it possible to add rollover text in PDF generated from FM11?

Hi
I am creating a documentation using FM11. In this, I have used quite a few terms. Though I have given their definitions as a separate section within the FM file, I also want the definitions to be available a rollover text. Is that possible? For example, when the learner moves his mouse over a term called "Project folder", a tooltip-like text should appear with the description of "Project folder".
If not, can I give the description as a pop-up window that will work in PDF?
Worst case scenario, I will have to go with "Jump to Named Destination" feature in FM to take the learner to description section and ask him to use "Previous View" (in PDF) to get back to the position where he came from.

P.S.: I have read that Shlomo Peret's Timesavers can do the job for me. But, for now, I am not looking to buy anything.

Problems copy & paste text from PDF to InDesign CS5

Hey guys
Today, I tried copying and pasting text from a PDF I received from my client, into a InDesign CS5 doc, and the text came out was just random numbers and punctuations.
I've tried exporting Word / RTF & TXT file from the PDF and yet they still come out random. I'm not sure if it's just how the PDF was made, or there is something wrong with my CS5.
I'm on Snow Leopard, CS5 Premium, Acrobat Pro 9 & also Acrobat Reader X.
Any ideas why?

It's the PDF.
Usually, you can copy text out of a PDF, but there is no guarantee *at all*. Older software used to take shortcuts to subset fonts: first character it encountered got coded as #1, the next as #2, etc. etc. If you do a search & replace of each of the nonsense characters, you'll slowly see the original text appearing (thst's not as simple as it sounds, though).
A similar "problem" is that sometimes spaces don't get copied (there is no need for a "Space Character" in a PDF), and that you cannot copy contiguous lines of text as a single paragraph. All of it is because a PDF is not intended nor designed to be re-used after creation.
If you really need this text and don't want to type it in, try to get hold of the original file.

Is it possible to see bookmark of one PDF document on iPAD?

I Know the document has bookmark but on iPAD I cannot see. Is any way to get it on iPAD?

Mihai511028,
The bookmarks shown in Adobe Reader for iOS are a little bit different from the ones shown in the desktop version of Adobe Reader.
Initially, the top level bookmarks are shown. Your PDF document only contains one top-level bookmark.
To go to the next level, tap the right arrow ('>').
To navigate to the corresponding section, tap the text label part of a bookmark.
To go back to the previous level, tap the left arrow ('<') in the upper left corner.
These are the bookmarks that are shown in the desktop version of Adobe Reader as well.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Copy & Pasted text from PDF messes up upper-case words..

Hey there,
Have this problem on many PC's in my work, on Windows Vista and Windows 7, using Adobe Reader v9.1.0.
When highlighting text and copying, then going elsewhere and pasting, the 'case' of the text messes up.
For example, if I copied:
"The QUICK brown FOX jumps over the Lazy DOG"
The pasted text would appear:
"The QUicK brown FoX jumps over the lazy DoG"
Is this a known issue? It's doing it on different PC's with different OS's but the version of Adobe Reader is still the same, so it's either an issue with that, or with the PDF's we're reading. They are PDF's of newspapers, but still... text is text, so it shouldn't be an issue!
It's taking quite a lot of time having to scroll through all this text to make sure all the capitalization is correct (especially when it comes to grammar).
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem, or if there's any known solution!
Thanks in advance

To copy and paste in a single action:
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
    -- Get the PubMed ID:
    get the title of the front window
    set thePubMedID to word 1 of result
    -- Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
    keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
    delay 0.25 -- adjust if necessary
    -- Add the PubMed ID to the contents of the clipboard:
    set theNotes to the clipboard
    set the clipboard to (theNotes & space & "[" & thePubMedID & ".pdf]")
end tell
tell application "Notational Velocity" to activate
tell application "System Events"
    -- Paste the contents of the clipboard to the end of the Notational Velocity document
    key code 125 using command down -- ⌘↓

Is it possible to add bookmarks to a PDF file with Adobe Reader for iOS?

In the App Store write-up on this app, it said that one could "Use bookmarks to jump directly to a section in your PDF file." But I don't see how one can add such bookmarks. Do they only mean that you can use bookmarks that were already in the document before you open it in Adobe Reader?

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

Embedding bookmarked text from Word

I suspect that I know what the answer to this question is going to be, but ….
Is it possible to embed bookmarked text from a Word document into a FrameMaker document?
In a little more detail, I have Word documents that documents have bookmarks defining some text selections. In Word, I can use IncludeText fields to include the content of those bookmarks in other documents as linked text. I would like to be able to include the bookmarked text in FrameMaker documents as well. Essentially, this does the same thing as including a text inset in FrameMaker.
I could just copy and paste, but I would much prefer to have the text linked, as it is in Word when I use the IncludeText field.
Is this possible, and if so, how?
Regards
Keith

Keith,
In short, no. Word's bookmarks are ignored by FM's import filters (Reference is in the FM Filters.pdf manual last updated for FM7.2 in 2005).
You could possibly create a VBA macro in Word to extract the bookmarked content from the Word file(s) and place those into a MIF formatted file with each bookmarked snippet in a separate flow. Only then, could you import the individual bookmarks (as text insets). Maintenance issues are a consideration and your workflow would have to take into account how you would update the created file with new content and preserve the FM text insets.

Issue while converting turkish text in PDF via SMARTFORMS

Hello Experts ,
We are currently involved in translating an application to Turkish. Though the translation is completely done, when we test the issue we find that the application is working perfectly with the Turkish text but the transfer of data from application to the PDF via SMARTFORM is not working correctly. We find that the issue is due to 3 characters in Turkish which are (Ğ,İ,ş), We found out that this issue can be resolved using the OSS Note 625818.
However we have another issue which has cropped up.
Wherever certain characters are being printed the characters right after them are printing at the same location and thus overlapping.
For eg:
Whenever the character u201CIu201D is printed it is being overlapped by the character which is supposed to be printed after it instead of printing next to it.
Should be - İN
Currently - both are overlapping
Any idea on how can this be fixed?
when I actually tried to copy the text from PDF and paste it in this email the character u201CIu201D is replaced by the character u201CÝu201D in this email text box.
Please find below the actual text from the PDF. The u201C u201D is seen nowhere and is replaced by the u201CÝu201D.
GÖREVÝN DEGERLENDÝRÝLMES
we have found a solution for the same which is to give a tab space between the İ and N but this will lead to unnecessery space in the application.
Thank You!
Best Regards
Bonny

Hi,
We cannot print some characters as such, so try converting it to string or char then go for PDF.
Check the below link and note:
[Cannot extract the embedded font arial.Some char might not be displayed;
Thanks,
