Restrict copy and paste?

I have a quicktime file that I would like to "lock". I know you can lock a file in the Get Info, and you can also set it to "no access". But, both of those settings still allow any user to copy and paste the file.
Is it possible to allow a user to view the Quicktime file, but be restricted from copying the file?
thanks

What system doesn't allow screen shots? Tell my mobile phone camera that it mustn't take a pic of the screen.
Anyway, I'd mess with KeyListeners or KeyBindings and suppress STRG+C where you don't want to allow copying. I have never done this, but that would be my first approach.

Copy and paste - Restricted KF - Left panel

Hello All,
This is quite a silly question, in BI7 I cannot copy and paste a restricted KF in the left panel.
Options are there but it's not working.
Is this another bug in BI7 ?
Thanks

How to restrict Cut, Copy and Paste to a Local Clipboard.

I need to stop any information being copied from my application to other applications such as Word. Is there any way to make sure that all GUI components that support cut, copy and paste use a local clipboard so that I can then control which Flavor's I allow to be cut, copied or pasted?

Copy and paste graphics and text in Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm a new user of Acrobat Pro and am trying to copy a combination of text and graphics from the top half of a page to the blank bottom half of the page. I've not had much success with what I thought would be a simple thing to do and would welcome suggestions. Here's a summary of the options I've tried so far for graphics, text, and both text and graphics.
A. Graphic Alone:
1. When I use the Select Object Tool, I can highlight the graphic but when I unclick the left mouse button, the highlighting disappears, so I can't copy the graphic.
2. When I use theTouchup Object Tool, only an oblong portion of the graphic is highlighted when I click on the object. The only way to highlight all of the graphic is to hold down the shift key and click on successive portions of the graphic until I have highlighted all of it. When I then right-click the mouse, I can copy the graphic. However, when I then place the mouse cursor in the bottom half of the page and do a righ-click paste, the graphic appears to be pasted on top of the original graphic. I can then drag the graphic to the bottom half of the page. I can also paste the object on to a blank page from Create PDF>Blank Page. Overall, this is not elegant nor intuitive, but it does work.
B. Text Alone:
1. I can copy the text but when it is pasted, it is not formatted like the orginal, nor can I place it where I want on the bottom half of the page. This is true whenther I use the basic copy function or the Touchup Text Tool.
2. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and click on the text, Acrobat places similarly-formatted text in a box that I can then right-click and copy. I can then paste the text on a blank page with the text formatted identical to the way it was on the original page. With several blocks of text formatted differently, this procedure could work but would require a lot of work to create a format with placement identical to the original.
C. Text and Graphics Together
1. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and attempt to highlight the top half of the page, the Tool insists on including the blank bottom half of the page in its selection. I can copy everything on the page but I haven't found a way to select just the objects in the top half of the page -- I can copy some, but the selected objects aren't highlighted and so this isn't a satisfactory route. It seems obvious to me that Touchup Object should be able to select just the objects I want. But then, even the Select Object Tool doesn't do that, either -- it Selects an object but then you can't do anything with the object.
2. Using the snapshot tool, I can highlight both graphics and text and copy them -- I can even export them them to another program via the clipboard and create an external file. However -- regardless of whether I just copy and paste, or do a Touchup Object file import, or whether the file is bitmap or jpg -- when I paste the resulting object or file onto a page in Acrobat, the image always comes out at 200% of its orginal size. I looked for a Resize option, but couldn't find one.
This is all very time-consuming and frustrating since what I am trying to do is not rocket science. Surely there is a simple way to do this.
By the way, there are no security restrictions on the file.

Hi,
In response to both "...is that normal?" — Yes.
PDF is not a file format meant to support editing of layout/format/etc or text content creation.
You'd master content in an authoring application (FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word, etc.).
The PDF file is the output of this mastered content.
Some minor touchups are possible with Acrobat (think whiteout/correction tape on a printed piece of paper -- PDF page content is the electronic "finished paper").
With that said, you might play with File > Create PDF > From Blank Page and use the Typewriter tool to enter text.
To output MS Word content to PDF use the Adobe PDFMaker.
Prior to Word 2007, you'd use "Adobe PDF" on the menu line.
With Word 2007, you'd use the Acrobat Ribbon features.
Be well...

I just bought this in order to copy and paste from a PDF and after I convert I still can't..

Hi helpme59,
It depends upon the restrictions set on the pdf.
If the creator of the pdf has set restrictions against copying then you will not be able to copy the content.
Are you facing the same issue with all the pdf's?
Would it be possible to share the pdf with me.

Allow copy and paste from word to my school program

When I create a word document and attempt to copy and paste it into my college discussion board, it states that Mozilla does not allow me to do so and to contact firefox to release the restrictions.

Did you try to use the keyboard instead?
Use keyboard shortcuts if the buttons on the web page or other methods aren't working.
*Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert (Mac: Command + C)
*Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert (Mac: Command + V)
*Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete (Mac: Command + X)

Copy and Paste into Java Applet

I know there have been some posts like this in the paste, but could not find a reasonable explanation.
JVM 1.4.2_08
For an unsigned java applet (Swing) I could not copy from a notepad document into my applets JTextField and JTextArea fields.
JVM 1.5
For this same applet (Swing) running under 1.5, I could copy and paste from the notepad document into my applets JTextField and JTextArea fields.
Does anybody know why the difference?
Is there a way to copy and paste for applets running in the 1.4.2 jvm?
Thanks.

I think it must be some security restriction.
Set a policy for the applet or sign it:
Set a policy (windows):
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re****\lib\security\java.policy
under grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
this means that you give all permission to all code, if you only want to give permissions for applets
comming from google you can add the following:
grant codeBase "http://google.com/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
to sign

Copy and paste for applets

I've heard that since applets cannot access the system's clipboard it is impossible to implement and copy and paste features into an applet unless the applet is digitally signed. Are there any other alternatives to signing the applet? Cheaper alternatives that is. Without having to manually install digital certificates of course.
Thanks.

Hi,
Meanwhile, I suggest you check whether you have any third party anti-virus programs installed in your system, some of those software might prevent such copy\paste function, if you have, please temporarily turn off or uninstall them as a test.
Or as
raghuramu mentioned, it is a software restriction in some websites.
By the way, are you able to copy and paste between other application, such as word to word, not IE?

Copy and paste (aka cloning)

Here's my scenario
IDM: ABC
AD: ABC
Notes: [email protected]
This user account changed the accountId so I want to disable the ABC account and clone it and all of its resources. I need to clone IDM, AD and Notes and only change the accountId. Everything else will stay the same. The end result will have 2 accounts in IDM as below
IDM: ABC (*DISABLED*)
AD: ABC
Notes: [email protected]
IDM: 123
AD: 123
Notes: [email protected]
Is there a copy and paste kind of functionality to do this within IDM? I need to do this in a WF for ActiveSync.
Thanks

JTextPane and Copy and paste

Hi All,
I have a JTextPane inside applet and It doesn't seem to copy anything outside the applet.
Is there any way to copy and paste the content outside the applet ??

There are security restrictions in place with applets. Since an applet is a foreign object downloaded to your PC, it has limited access to PC components such as the Clipboard.
You need to digitally sign your Applet. I have always had problems with the clipboard and applets even after signing them. I found that newer version of Java Plugin still did not allow me to copy and paste to/from a swing component.
I hope you have better luck.

Copy and Paste feature

Hi
wonder why there isn't a "Copy-Paste" Feature on my iPhone. This is very mac-unlike.

I can't believe there is no Copy-Paste function either - it's a big omission.
There are other missing features too:
1 - There is no <Find> or <Search> function at all. Being used to Spotlight on Mac OSX, I expected to be able to search for keywords in text messages, contacts, notes, etc etc etc. This is a grave omission and reduces the functionality of iPhone for me. Let's say I'm looking for an electrician, and I know I have someone in my contacts, but can't remember his name. I should be able to hit <Find> and type in "electrician" - which would deliver a list of contacts and notes containing that word.
2 - There is no way to send a Contact to another phone via Bluetooth or Text message. Every other phone I've ever had (from some really old Nokia phones to the latest Sony Ericsson) had this function. You could select a contact, then open a menu and choose "send as...", and then select how to send the info, either via Bluetooth or Infrared (if applicable) or simply via SMS to another person's phone. This is VERY restrictive.
3 - As a Mac user, I am used to contextual menus everywhere. Hold <ctrl> and click and you get lots of options which relate to whatever you are doing. There are no menus at all on iPhone. I'm sure this was intentional, but it would really be useful to have menus in many areas. For example, to send a contact as noted in my point 2 above. Or to re-name a pin in Maps. Or as per this topic, to copy and paste text.
I do LOVE the phone and find the whole experience captivating, fun and intuitive. However, the missing "features" noted above really sour the experience.
Regards - Colin

How to stop an embedded PDF online from being copied and pasted?

I have an issue which I need assistance with please.
I can secure a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat XI and it disables it from being copied and pasted (right-click brings no such options) but, when I upload it online (to Wordpress) and link to it then it opens in Adobe Reader (or whatever PDF viewer the user has installed on their computer) and because of this they can highlight the text and right-click and then copy and paste it to a Word document and such, even though this was not possible in Adobe Acrobat XI but as soon as it goes online it is possible. How can this be prevented?
Basically I want to embed PDF's online for others to read and view directly online but I want to disable them from copying and pasting text - can this be done?
Many thanks.
Ian

If I allowed the secured PDF as a download instead (because it could not be embedded) and they tried to edit it with their PDF software I assume the encryption on it and restrictions (e.g. no copy and paste) would still be enforced?
Not a correct assumption. Some PDF software respects security and some doesn't. This has nothing to do with whether it is embedded or downloaded.
Many people face this issue, but it is best to just get used to the idea that what you put on the web can be saved, shared, emailed, copied and recirculated. That's how the web is. Even if copy/paste wasn't allowed, the user could just do a screen capture and paste that. If that weren't allowed they could photograph the screen. And for some of the older generation, it even occurs to them to retype what they want...!

Hi, I was trying to copy and paste a lot of info for one day on my calendar to another day and an error message popped up saying that the system responded with an error. Msg won't go away I force quit ical

Need help for trying to unfreeze a message on my ical. I was trying to copy and paste some appointment info from one day to another on my ical and a message popped up saying the system responded with an error. All of my info was below the message. I can't get that message to go away or work on the ical now at all. I try to force quit ical and have shut down the computer and it still comes up. Any suggestions?

K,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, if you are using Lion, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then to to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.
