Cannot copy and paste text in Photoshop CS6

I am not able to copy and paste the text from non Adobe (such as Keynote or Word) programs in Photoshop CS6. I get a read error message "could not complete the command paste text as data from the Clipboard is empty or not valid." I have tried to close Photoshop, close other programs, restart my computer, my setting preferences and ask the Adobe help by phone and chat. I'm on a new iMac and I have no third-party plug-in installed. Can anyone help?

Photoshop for some reason any sometimes don't like the formatting of the text in the Clipboard. Paste the copy in TextEdit or something similar and convert it to plain text. Copy to the Clipboard and it should stick fine in Photoshop.

  • Impossible to copy/paste or drag/drop of files. Cannot copy and paste text, either.

    The operating system would prohibit me files copy/paste and drag and drop files text copy and paste all of a sudden.

    I've searched high and low for a way to copy and paste text from a website in Chrome using the Xperia z3v.  I tried a long tap, double tap, a triple tap - nothing works.

    I am able to select text, copy and paste into a Word doc, however.  There must be a way to do this on a website in Chrome. I am sure that I don't mean to select text that is really an image. I'm trying to copy some text. Here is the link where I try to get the text. It's a recipe.

    You should do a tap wait a second and 1 click at the same place and hold the second tap.

    I use the current trial of Acrobat DC version. I opened a PDF I created in Corel Draw by publication in PDF format. I tried to copy and paste text from it to a Word 2007 document. The copy option was available, but when I went to the document and chose paste, it was nothing. I then tried the same thing but sticking in a document of Corel. The same problem. It seems that the text has been copied, but I'm unable to paste it into another program. Is this real?

    Is it permanently available text? (Can highlight you)?

    This seems a strange way of working well - why not copied from the draw to Word?

  • Copy and paste text formats, but not real text

    Is it possible to copy and paste text formats (type, size, color, position), but be able to edit the text? Right now, when I copy and paste text and change the text, it replaces all the other texts that one. I work with a lot of videos in Adobe Premiere elements 12 countdown, and I wish I could stick all the texts on the video, then change from one to 10, 9, 8 and so on. Thank you!

    What computer operating system? If you do not already have it, you must update 12 in 12.1 using Help Menu/updates to date of an open project.

    But your question immediately...

    After creating a text title in the Titler and close titration module, go to Expert active project workspace, the tile it for this title a right click and select duplicate from the pop-up menu. Then drag the duplicate of there to the timeline. Double-click the duplicate on the Timeline to open the titration module where you edit the copy. Repeat this for additional titles. Copy paste is not the way to go on this. You've seen the consequence of this with changing a text title change all the.

    If please review and then let us know if this worked for you.

    Thank you.

  • Why can't copy and paste text in DW CC 2014 certain programs?

    Since the update earlier this week from CC to CC 2014, I am unable to copy text from Notepad, NotePad ++ or Chrome (3 apps that I use a lot).  FireFox, Word Pad, and IE 11 work very well. I can copy and paste text from DW and DW to any porgram but not vice versa. If job code or mode Design seems not affect the result. Of course, my productivity dropped, please advise a solution or at least a workaround solution.

    I am running CC on 2 months, Asus notebook, Windows update 8.1 1, haswell i7-4800HQ, Geforce GTX 860 M, 8 GB of RAM.

  • How can I copy and paste text in a PDF document?

    I'm new to this kind of things Adobe Acrobat, and I wonder what I have to do, to be able to simply copy and paste from a PDF file to any ordinary document old.

    Hi don GST.

    Provided that the PDF is not secure or protected, you can simply drag your cursor over the text you want to copy, and then choose Edition > copy to copy text to the Clipboard. Then, you can change which application you want to paste in, then choose Edition > paste.

    You cannot select the text if the document was obtained by its creator. You can tell by looking for "Secure" in the title bar of the PDF file.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Best,

  • Spacing is introduced between letters when copy and paste text

    I use Adobe Reader X 10.1.1 on Windows Vista, but this problem applies to all users of Reader, that I tested it regardless of their implementation:


    When you open a text-under-the-page-image PDF file in Adobe Reader and then copy and paste the text, the spacing is introduced between the letters:

    For example, the word "test" shows as "t e st i ng" in the document text output, but that the 'test' on the original pdf.

    This affects 50% of the 100 000 PDF files in the collection, with between 10% and 90% of the words within those that show this phenomenon.

    The PDF files themselves are so impossible to search for the words in question.

    This does not occur when viewing and search PDF files in other viewers such as FoxIt or NitroPDF.

    Nor does occur when you use file | Save under. Text or display RTF or XML version.

    I can still reproduce this phenomenon on specific files or through the entire collection, on both my own system and with anyone else who opens PDFs in Reader.

    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    This problem is already fixed in Acrobat 11. Unfortunately, we cannot solve for Acrobat 10.
