Printed PDF not able to copy text

This is a weird problem I've had on a few distros, and I am trying to find out what is going on.
When I print a PDF from Firefox, Kate, etc. to either cups-pdf or kprinter's pdf function and then open it in Adobe Acrobat, any text that I highlight and copy comes out as weird characters that are mostly blocks. I cannot seem to find a way to have the text appear as the actual text. I am using all default settings for both pdf printers. If I do an export pdf from OpenOffice, I can copy and paste the text fine from acrobat. Therefore, it's not acrobat, but the pdfs that are being created. Is there any way to solve this and does anyone else have the same behavior?
Thanks.

Hadn't noticed this before, but I can reproduce it. Moreover, Evince will not even allow me to select text from PDFs generated by cups-pdf. Not familiar with Kprinter, could it be using cups-pdf as a PDF backend (couldn't determine that from Kprinter's handbook)? Maybe something with the PPD?

Not able to copy text from pdf preview in firefox 25

Hi, I am using the Firefox 25 version, and i open a PDF in the browser, but i am not able to copy the content from the PDF opened in the browser. Is there is any settings to allow to copy the text when the PDF is opened in the browser ? kindly provide your opinion and solution.
Thank you in advance.

I do not believe there is. I think it is the setting of the pdf itself not Firefox. Also i suggest you update, it is possible you cant copy paste due to this. Not only that but other issue could be going on.
(Firefox is currently on version 35.0.1)

Not able to copy the tree node text in solaris, while easily done in window

Hi,
I m not able to copy the text present on the tree's node to terminal or other text editor in solaris. I m using <Shift><control> C and V comaand for the same but the text is not being copied and pasted on the text pad or the terminal window.
While the same is possible in windows OS using ctrl+c and ctrl+v command.
Please suggest the possible solution for the same, is there any property of the tree/OS needs to be set?

Help About says I'm on 20.0.1
Up until last week, I was able to use the tab key when typing emails and other multi-line text boxes.
Suddenly the behavior of the tab key changed. This isn't the first time. It's been quite a while ago that the function of the tab key changed from indenting to moving around the page, then after some time it changed back to indenting.
Can we get this fixed and leave it alone, please?
I may give one of those add-ins a try, but my problem with add-ins is that they break when FF is patched or upgraded, then I'm left with out the solution they provide.
Can we just fix Firefox, please?
Thanks,
Frank
P.S. Another potential fix I came across suggested starting FF in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. It does not. It seems to be a change to FF that appeared after an update last week. On or just befor 24 Apr.

Not able to copy Wage types

Hi, I am not able to copy wage types while configuring 0008. It says tables are locked for the user. I am not able to scroll down nor click on any function like Copy.

Help me understand what caused and how to resolve.
Thank you.

I'm not able to edit text in Numbers from my iPad.

I'm not abl to edit text in Numbers from my iPad. The files were originally created on the iPad and for years have worked effortlessly between my Macbook, iPhone and iPad. After the last update in Numbers (Can't remmember if it was on the Macbook or iPad) I've had this issue. Any solutions please?!

for years have worked effortlessly between my Macbook, iPhone and iPad.
You were lucky! I had frequent syncing troubles with the old Numbers. The new Numbers syncs well.
Are you are running the latest version everywhere?
Numbers on iPad: 2.0.1
Numbers on Mac: 3.0.1
iOS: 7.0.4
If you're still having trouble, try creating new documents and copying your tables over from the old documents. There may have been a glitch somewhere when you imported the old documents into the new version.

I have the same problem. I think that someone tried my iphone before me because when I want to reset it, I'm invited to enter a password that I didn't set. Also, when I go the Map application, the iphone indicate that I'm locateded in China while I'm in Tunisia. Now, I can't connect to my iphone to itunes, and I can't reset it because it ask me to enter a password that I didn't set.

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

I'm not able to copy and paste files from my mac to hard disk and usb. I have tried dragging the items to those devices but it won't work. I also have tried copying and pasting those files onto those devices but that doesn't work too. Can any one help?

In P6 version7 not able to copy project with the baseline.

Hi,
In P6 version 7 it is not able to copy project with the baseline. It copies only the schedule.
Please help.
regards,
Baber.

Tried the solution from another thread but did not work completely (as warned) - the workaround didn't quite work for me either:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1398462?start=0&tstart=0
Ended up taking a backup, did a fresh install, created the account as the first one so that it gets the same UID as the other Mac (on which my account was the first) and restored my data - was painful but finally on track.

@aspergerguy, can you please confirm that Google Maps 4.01(1) is working for you?
This version only worked post Belle FP2 upon my 700 and as 701 only sold for limited markets there do seem some inconsistencies as to what works compared with 700. Here is screenshot taken just now:

I am not able to copy to ipod

I am not able to copy any further to the ipod. I have utilised about 600 MB of space. Still a lot of space left on it. I have restored it. after restoration again it will copy only about 600 mb only. I have changed usb ports, I have re-installed xp, I have re-installed itunes. I have gone to the ipod's self diagnostic mode, still everything was reported perfectly fine. Still I am not able to copy any further to the ipod. I am able to use my ipod normally. Whatever is copied is playing normally. There is some 9 months left for the warranty to expire. Mine is a 80GB classic model, black one. What could be problem gentlemen?

Forgot to say that same is not happening with pictures or podcasts.

Not able to copy music into ipod

Have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd gen. Am not able to copy music from the library either manually or thro autofill. The msg flashed is - "the ipod is synced with another itunes library.

Tell it yes you want to delete the music and sync the music from this computer. The Shuffle can only be linked to one library.
