Pasting from Word into PDF changes graphic size?

I send PDF newsletters to customers who like to be able to add their own logo or a sentence at the bottom.
In the past (Acrobat 8 and earlier), I would save the PDF as User Enabled. The customer could then copy a graphic or text from a Word document and paste it into the PDF.
Now, in Acrobat 9, with Enable for Commenting or Extend Features, the customer can still paste graphics or text, but it makes the pasted item enormous! For example, the word "Hello" is typed in MS Word at 12 pt Times Roman, and copied. When it is pasted in the PDF it becomes about 48 pt and distorted in proportion. Likewise a 7-inch banner graphic in Word becomes huge and overflows the page when pasted into a PDF.
This didn't used to happen. Any suggestions for a fix? Is there a Preference I need to set? A different way I should Enable for Commenting?
Thanks!
Elise

There does not seems to be any preference that can be set. Clipboard text or images are placed as stamps.
One option for people who just need to paste text would be for them to insert a text comment field and paste their formatted text from Word there. (The reason to paste from Word is because the formatting will be maintained.)
Your customers may want to consider making their own custom stamp for their logo and/or any standard text that they want to appear on your newsletter. If they had their logo and text set up in Word, they could create a pdf using Acrobat.com or another free service. In Reader, they could use that pdf to define a custom stamp. A custom stamp would eliminate cutting and pasting and could be resized easily. The stamps could only be used in pdf documents that have commenting enabled, but they would not have to create a custom stamp for each newsletter – previously made stamps would be available to use in future newsletters.

Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

Enable copy-paste from Word to PDF

Hi,
I was working in PDF, copy-pasting words from Microsoft Word that needed altering, when suddenly this function was disabled. I can still paste text from Word into a new text field in PDF, but not in a Sticky Note or in Text Editing. Also, I can't copy-paste anything from the PDF into Word anymore. However, I can still copy-paste things from PDF into PDF (same file, and from other files). Does anyone know what's going on? How can I enable the copy-paste function again?
Thank you.

Hi Deepak,
The problem was in Word not Adobe. After closing Word and opening again, I could copy-paste again.
Thanks.

Why can't I copy and paste from word into websites?

Hi,
I have been accepted as a writer for 3 online publishers, but cannot copy and paste examples of my work from Word into their websites. The clipboard behaviour seems erratic - sometimes I can copy text from websites and paste into Word, sometimes not.
Can somebody help? It is vital that I am able to supply examples of my written work without having to physically re-type everything or send the examples as attachments.
Thanks,
AM

Do you wait until the Copy button turns blue and then does the Paste button turns blue when you paste the text?

Cut and paste from Word into Mail

I have an earlier post where I thought I had solved this problem, but now it's back with a twist:
I can cut and paste from Word, but after a few cut and pastes, it seems as if I can only paste the last successful section of text: copying new text from word seems to work, but when pasting into Mail, only the previous section of cut and pasted text appears.
I have checked the preferences within Mail, and they are set for plain text... so there should be no problem, yes?
I also tried quitting and then restarting Mail, but had the same problem...
Any advice?

Thanks, aqua*star -
I just checked the "archiving" and "back-up" suggestions in the Mail "Help" window and got the following info:
Mail preferences and messages
Your Mail accounts, rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes preference settings can easily be backed up. Tip: All Mail-related preference files should be backed up or restored as a group.
To back up:
Note: These steps back up Mail preferences, but do not back up Mail messages (emails), although you can do that with the .Mac Backup utility. See below if you want to manually back up Mail messages (mailboxes).
Create a uniquely-named folder on your desktop (or other favorite location). For example, you might call it "Mail Prefs Backups May152005" (adding a date is a good idea).
Quit Mail if it's running.
In the Finder choose Home from the Go menu.
Open the Library folder.
Open the Preferences folder.
Copy the "com.apple.mail.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file. Don't remove the original file from its current location (this file contains your Mail accounts information).
Close the Preferences folder.
Open the Mail folder.
Copy the "MessageRules.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (this file contains your Mail rules).
Copy the "SmartMailboxes.plist" file to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the file (you guessed it, this file contains Smart Mailboxes information).
Finally, copy the Signatures folder to the folder you made in step 1 by Option-dragging the folder. (Your custom signatures, if you use them, are stored here.)
To restore: Just move all of the copies of the files and folders from your uniquely-named folder to the original locations from which they came, as listed above.
It looks like I can save and restore the Mail rules separately from the plist...

Dreamweaver CS3- can not paste from Word into Design mode window

Have been away from DW for a while, and upon return having a
bit of difficulty with paste function for text. I can select text
in design mode/window; I can type in design mode, but I can not
paste into design mode. I can only paste in code view or the code
half of split view. Is there a setting/preference I have set wrong?
Thx

Paste from MSWord into PDF file

I know I can use the touch up text tool to highlight and copy but is there a way I can copy a paragraph from a MS Word document and paste it into an existing adobe pdf file? I'm using Acrobat 7 Professional in a Windows XP environment.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Dov

If you paste it in, it becomes a comment. To do what you want, print the part to copy to a new PDF. Then cut and paste from that PDF to the one you want. One issue is that things will not move around in the old PDF to take the paste, but it will go right on top of whatever is already there.
The other way is to use the Text Touchup Tool. Put the cursor where you would like the text and you can then paste in directly. You will have to go back and put in paragraphs and such, but it is possible. Keep in mind that any editing in a PDF should typically be minor. Major changes will give you heartburn real fast.

Paste from word into mail message, yosemite

In Yosemite, pasting from a Word document into a new mail message results in
missing chunks of text. See screenshots of the two below (look at the 1st, 4th, 5th items). I simply used command-V to paste.
Word 14.4.5, Mail.app 8.0

I also have this issue and currently nothing is fixing it.
I have tried using shift+alt+command+v to paste with no formatting but it makes no difference.
The only workaround seems to be either:
(1) posting to Text.app first
(2) posting into a rich text email and then converting it to plain text (may not work every time)
We're still left with the perennial Word/Mail issue of all the extra line breaks though.

How do I copy and paste from Word into Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

using Windows 7 Professional SP1, Microsoft Office 365 (Office 2013).
I can copy the text within a word document, without a problem.
However, the paste options are greyed out and "Ctrl"+"V" does not work.
Am I missing something, as I can't work out how to copy the text from word, to use as a basis for my photo shop document.

Hey, guys. I am a complete noob to Elements 13. I need to get something done relatively quickly and I need to learn how to copy and paste from a Word document. How do I do this?
Copy the text in WORD to place it on the clipboard
Open PSE in Expert tab
Open your picture file
Get the type tool out of the tool box, click an insertion point
Go to Edit>paste
You should see two layers in the layers palette: background layer, and layer with the text.

I can't copy and paste from Word into CSS5?

I run in Windows 7 and have many documents in Word, but cannot get any of them to Paste into Contribute. I have had to re-type all the material directly.
Any help?

I always advise my Contribute clients to "scrub" any Microsoft text before pasting it. You might be able to do this by changing the doc to .txt? Hopefully that would get rid of the layout code embedded in a doc or docx document.
However, since I don't trust anything Microsoft seems to have excess code attached, I first put it into Text Edit on my Mac and save it. Not sure what the equivalent program is on Windows. I think an email program could work just as well, Twigman. You might ask your tech how to save the MS doc so it has no code, like pure ascii text. That way, they will not have to leave Word to scrub the old code out.

How to paste from Word and retain formating

My co-worker and I are both running Dreamweaver. However for
some reason I can copy and paste from Word into Dreamweaver and
retain the formatting (bold/italic etc) but she can not. I've done
searches on this board and online in general but haven't found
anything about this issue. Keep in mind that we are not importing
HTML from word, just basic cutting and pasting. The paragraph
returns are retained but the bold/italic formatting is lost. We
don't need the styles to come through (and would rather they not
-they tend to corrupt the html-it get's all wonky) just the
formatting.
I'm sure it's something silly like a preference in Word or
Dreamweaver but we can't seem to find it, or any one else who is
having the same issue.
Our next step is to reinstall Dreamweaver to see if that may
clear the issue...
Any thoughts?

In DW 8 try PASTE SPECIAL. It gives you options for how much
or how little
formatting you want to retain when you paste.

Retain formating when pasting from Word to longtext(IA06)

I realize this is similar to other posts, however after searching the forum I have yet to find the answer to my problem. Recently some users returned from a conferenence and were exited after being told that they could cut&paste from Word into the longtext of IA02 and IA06 in ECC6.0 which we just completed upgrading to.
They were also told that the new version had advanced formatting features not found in 4.7 (what we upgraded from).
I've looked high and low and not been able to achieve what they were told. It appears that the pasted text is accept as "plain text" and thus the formatting is lost.
Can someone please confirm these new abilities?
Thanks,
Ob

To maintain links you have to use the PDFMaker plugin. I'm guessing it's
not available for your combination of Office and Acrobat, so you're out of
luck.

When I copy and paste from Word to my e-mail using Firefox it changes the font and spacing to single and 10pt. It just started doing this a month ago. It does not do it when I am on my laptop or using Explorer. Help, I hate explorer.

If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.
Shortcuts and workarounds tend to create awkward and difficult problems, that often only surface late in the process.

Special characters pasted from Word doc not rendering in Adobe Reader

We have recuiters who have copy/pasted special characters from MS-Word into a new eRecruiting requisition (the text contained square bullets from a bulleted list). When pasted into the requsition, the Adobe pdf displays those characters as "-,," to the recruiter. When end users then display the PDF, the results are inconsistent. Some desktops render the text without displaying bullets, and others show an Adobe Reader popup: "The Japanese Language Support Package is required to display this page properly".
I am wondering what device settings are causing these differences and if there is a solution to display the special characters.
Thank you.

Hello Tim,
to make things short, although this is probably not very satisfying, you should prevent all your end users from copying text from word into an e-recruting application. Word contains tons of non-printable characters and as SAP uses completly other code-pages than windows everything can happen when these characters are loaded into sap.
Be aware that this is not only effecting the formating. It took me 2 weeks last year to find out that a single posting was not found in the job search as one of the "spaces" in a posting text was in real a special character which made the TREX abort indexing on this publication documents.
If you like bullet point lists in your publications there are ways to work with escape characters, we usally use the # character. So the recruiter types flow text and if he likes bullet points he just starts his paragraphs with # and then the publication transforms them automatically into bullet points. If you are quite familiar with smartforms adding this takes perhaps a day. If you want I can link some customer publication example and add some guidance how to build this.
Best Regards
Roman
