Keep Formatting during Copy and Paste in Text Box

Hi everyone,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI v11.0.0 on Windows 7.
When I am copying and pasting numbers and text within the same text box, I lose the original formatting. How can I paste with the formatting retained? For example, if I copy Bold1234subscript , pasting within the same text box gives me Bold1234Subscript.
However, formatting is preserved when I copy and paste the entire text box.
Thank you very much!

As far as I know you can't do that. In any case, it sounds like you are trying to use Acrobat in a way that is not part of its design. Go back to your original document and edit that, then create a new PDF.

Font changes size during copy and paste

How can you get photoshop to keep the same font size during copy and paste? For example, I copied text that was 14pt and it pasted as 16.44pt. I am copying and pasting text in the same photshop document. Thanks!

Then tell us more about your issue: is it the case for all files, does it happen for text lines, or paragraph text, inside the same text block...
What are the settings of the text tool?

Firefox Sync setup says "Incorrect words, try again" after receiving message "Your answer was correct. Please copy and paste the text in this text box into the box below."

When setting up Firefox Sync, I get all the way to the "Please Confirm You're Not a Robot" screen in the wizard, and enter the captcha values. I then receive in a small scrollable text area the message "Your answer was correct. Please copy and paste the text in this text box into the box below."
I copy and paste the code, in this case "03AHJ_Vuv1gStVScBWSYWw6M4_KKQ4wzhCDSzKqiCfv57XXGyvHtOk4ixehysQhOTIf-lsL41lc5n-piztjYJSKu6urCeRvETVfpzRDh7OmHCDZiIBZv9Qg4oyrmWDMu6JA7Eh-4C8aZn4" into the only other visible text box, and click the next button, only to receive the message "Incorrect words, try again."
My only option is to cancel at that point. I have tried this three times, once even starting the entire process over from the start, and it ends up with the same outcome each time.

Copy and paste a Text-Layer to another picture - Its not a Textlayer more

Hello,
i tried to copy a text-layer from one psd-Picture and i want to paste it into other pictures:
var dok_textebene = app.documents.getByName ("text.psd");
dok_textebene.artLayers["name of the textlayer"] .copy() ;
//chage to a other picture
app.activeDocument = otherpictureRef ;
app.activeDocument.paste ();
// this is ok, i could copy & paste the layer
// But it is not any more a text-layer
//then i tried this code to change the state of the layer to a text-layer
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT ;
But this was not aible, i get an error.
Does anybody know how i could copy and paste a text-layer ?
Thanks
realbutsch

It might be better to duplicate the text IE:
var currentDoc = app.activeDocument;
var dok_textebene = app.documents.getByName ("text.psd");
app.activeDocument = dok_textebene;
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.artLayers.getByName('name of the textlayer');
activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate(currentDoc);

Copy and paste error - Text pastes at half-size.

Copy and paste error — Text pastes at half-size.
When I copy and paste text already in my photoshop document, the text retains the styling but the text size is exactly half of what it should be.
I'm using the most recent version of CS6. Thanks!

Ok, I found the issue.
http://d.pr/i/h48E
The text box was transformed by 200%, while other text boxes are at 100%. So when you copy a 200% into a 100% it's half. Makes no sense that this is a feature.

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

I want to publish a book with Blurb. They don't have Russian fonts, so I have to type the text in Russian in Notes in my iPad, send it to my e-mail box, and then open the e-mail box in Mac, and copy and paste the text into the book template of Blurbs. I don't know how to make a Russian keyboard in Mac to be able to type quickly. I asked about it in the Apple store, and they showed me how to find a Russian keyboard in the net, but it takes much time to type using a screen keyboard, and the texts also cannot be copied and pasted, when they are in Russian. They are erased when I press 'command+C", and all I have is a single letter 'c' instead. No problems with texts in English. Maybe Russian is not supported for copying and pasting?:(

Copy and paste multiple texts from Word to Indesign

Hello!!
I would like to simplify multiple operations where I need to copy multiple text boxes from a Word doc into multiple boxes in Indesign, and be able to specify the exact location of each box in the Indesign doc. For example, I would like to take 7 text boxes from a Word doc and copy them separately into 7 boxes in the Indesign doc, rather than have to go back and forth into the Word doc. 7 times and pasting each text box one by one.
See the screenshots
Thank you in advance,
Enrico

That looks a lot like case for Data Merge. It won´t give you any tools for copy/pasting multiple textboxes but with little work, you could make a template where you could drop multiple Items like you have in your screenshot. It won´t work with docs, but if you can convert your stuff to excel, then it would be quite nice solution for you.

Yesterday when I turned on my iPad there was icon that ask do I want to upgrade IOS well I didn't know what that was so I said yes . Well every since my iPad gas gone crazy . When I go to a send button it keeps showing the copy and paste icon over the button . Today I was sending a phone load to friend . It was a $3.85 load . But button kept showing that stupid copy and paste icon so I kept pushing the button . Well I ended up sending $3.85 three times . How do I get the upgrades out or how do I fix my iPad ?

What does this have to do with iPhones much less using them in an Enterprise environment?

Copy and paste into dialog boxes

Copy and paste into dialog boxes
Greetings:
This is a cross post, so sorry about that, but I had originally replied to a previous post,
before I realized it was probably the wrong forum
for my question.
Copying from a document to a dialog box field doesn't work anymore; How do I fix it?
We have the problem since upgrading to Tiger.
Our Mac users, during their workflow, paste a filename
from a document into the 'save as' field (when printing to a .ps file).
This no longer works. UNLESS they control click in the 'save as' field.
Then they can select 'paste' with the mouse. Why is this happening? and how can we fix it? (so they can just 'command C' then 'command V' as they used to).
We have repaired permissions, cleared user caches,
tossed finder prefs, logged in as another user,
all to no avail.
Thanks in advance!

Matt,
Thanks for your response.
I agree that something else is capturing the shortcut, as
all shortcuts are unavailable in the pulldown menus at that point where we used to be able to 'Command V' paste into the text field. We're not using Quick Keys, and the
Full keyboard access setings are default for OS 10.4.
I did experiement with turning of some of the modifier F key selections in the Keyboard system prefs but none made
any change for this issue. For now our work around will be to control click in the text field and select 'paste'.
Seems odd that the contextual menu is available for that field but a 'command V' or command control V doesn't work.
Not a huge deal, more of an irritant, but I'll keep on the hunt! Thanks again!

How to NOT retain formatting when copying and pasting text

Captivate 7 keeps the formatting from my text sources when I paste into a Text Caption which is not what I need. Anything I could find in the forums where questions relating to "keeping" the source formatting. I don't want this, I want Captivate to keep its text formatting when I paste text into a text caption. I even did a test creating a new project and using one of the Cap 7 themes. If I paste text in the default capture caption style object, it retains the formatting of the copied text source. I have been working with Captivate 7 since a few months now and, until this morning, when I copied and pasted text from another source into my Captivate Text Caption, it retained the format of my Captivate Text Caption object. This is exactly what I need. How can I get this behavior back?
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi there
Well, first I would report it as undesired behavior and possibly ask for an enhancement that allows us to right-click and paste without formatting. Do this using the link below:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
For now, you have a couple of options.
1. Perform a side trip. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple Textpad and paste, then copy back to the clipboard. Then paste the text into the caption. (When pasting into the text editor, formatting is stripped)
2. On Windows machines, you can usually find a clipboard utility that allows you to paste as pure text. In fact, one such application is called PureText.

Copying and pasting Arabic text in InDesign CS4 ME

We have an arabic document in pdf and word formats and we have InDesign CS4 ME and we are trying to copy and paste text from the pdf/word document but the font isn't transferring, there is nothing only boxes. We have turned on the arabic keyboard and that didnt help either. Working on a mac.
Can anyone help us? What is the solution?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
We have turned on the arabic keyboard and that didnt help either.
Well, why should it. Unless you are typing Arabic, that won't do anything at all. Copy-and-paste is not typing.
If copy-and-paste does not copy the font along so you get the pinky squares in InDesign, it only means that your default InDesign font does not support those characters. Select your text and then choose another font -- one you are sure of contains Arabic.
If you still get pink squares, it's more likely the text in the PDF is not encoded properly, and in that case no-one can't help you -- but it ought to work directly from Word.

Copy and Paste Unformatted Text to documents

A very useful feature at times is the ability to copy and paste formatted text from pages (in this case webpage) to a document (text edit, word). Which means that what ever bold, font or style on a page is copied to the clipboard and then pasted identically to the document.
question:
Is there a way to copy or paste the plain text of the clipboard rather than the formatted version?
thanks..

Hi, SU.
Many applications support this, but how it is implemented varies by application.
In many apps, if you paste using the Command-Option-V keyboard shortcut (instead of Command-V for paste), it will paste the clipboard contents either:
• Without the styles used in the document from which the text was copied.
• In the same style as the document into which you are pasting the text.
Some apps, e.g. Microsoft Office, have an Edit > Paste Special menu choice that permits one to select that text should be pasted either without the styles or matching the style of your document.
In Mail, the keyboard shortcut is Command-Option-Shift-V.
Consult the Help for the particular application to determine how one can paste what is commonly called "styled text" without the styles. Styled text is text in the clipboard that retains the style of the document from which it was copied.
Good luck!

How do I copy and paste Chinese text into InDesign CC?

I am having difficulty copying and pasting pre-translated Chinese text into InDesign.
Many of the characters are coming up as boxes in the majority of Chinese fonts offered in CC.
马修斯旅游大巴租赁公司
爱尔兰和英国之旅
translates as
Font used above is Apple LiSung
I have tried to import via Apple Text Edit and format stripped the text.

That's happening because you have Simplified Chinese text, and are attempting to use a Traditional Chinese font.
Ellis suggests a well-made Adobe font with Trad support. If you pull down your font dropdown and scroll towards the end, you'll find fonts split into categories according to language support. The one with Apple LiSung is the Simplified category, and the one with Adobe Fangsong is the Trad category. Pick any font from that category - but know that the style of font you pick in Chinese means as much as the style of font you pick in English, and if you don't know what the conventions are, you may well choose one not entirely suited to your audience. (One of my translators likened the Chinese font choices of monolingual Anglo designers to "seeing the body text of my How To Use Your Health Care Benefits brochure laid out in Rosewood.")

Copy and paste multiple text layers DW CC

I searched around and couldn't find a good solution to an issue I am having. I am solid with DW but by no means brilliant, so hopefully this doesn't come across as completely ignorant. Basically, I have a 400 plus page website that I have to do updates on often.. the way the client wanted it designed makes it problematic for updates regardless of my informing him that doing it differently could save us both a lot of problems, but at the same time, the site is actually perfect for what it is due to how it was done and no templating based site out there can do what it does so I am stuck with it for now. Each of the 400 plus pages has 6 individual text layers that had to be laid out according to the individual photo on each page, very specialized. My question is, is there a way to copy and paste multiple layers in DW. Small updates are fine, but larger updates are a nightmare due to the text issue and page numbers, and believe me, I have been up and down and around about how to make it easier.. but, that said, if I could copy all six layers at once and paste all six in the new document, life would be a lot easier on this project. I also tried linking the layers and sending them, but that doesn't seem to work for some reason.
Any thoughts guys?
Thanks much for your time.

Thanks Jon, I will give that a try at some point, I am more on the designer end of things but I could manage to find the layers and give that a shot. I would love to show you the site, but the owner is very security conscious and only allows certain parties to see the site. I don't have any knowledge of background driven sites as web design is more of an extra thing when a client just really wants me involved. I am fine with the repetitive work.. if what you suggest works, it breaks my job down by 6 times and that would actually be a huge relief. Though I am over paid and hourly and the client has plenty of money, I just stop enjoying what I am doing with it after a bit to the point that I don't want to do it anymore regardless of the money. I have thought of subcontracting someone with more experience in the arena that could make it database driven like you are saying, but, it is just such a monster that getting someone else involved (especially with a client that keeps it so close) will be more work than it is worth. Fortunately, I think there will only be another update or two and then it will be finished as a collection. The site houses a world renowned textile collection half photo half info about the pieces.. my method thus far has been to keep the photos laid out in Lightroom, where I output the monster site in one of the simple flash sites and then add the text in DW.. I take the new photos and html and connect them to the new site and front thumbnail pages with my original which I have kept adding to over the years. To a degree it is decently quick and efficient, but when he drops or buys more than 10 pieces, and then needs to change photos, thumbs, and add text to anywhere but the last few pages, it can get into headacheland. With a major change, it would be faster for me to just reoutput the whole photo based flash site from LR and then copy and paste all six layers on each photo.. but as you know, that has been my issue thus far and what I get for only having my toes into a program.
Thanks for your reply..
