Script to examine the Clipboard before pasting
I had some success using an beforePaste() event listener to help users avoid pasting text formatted in places where they should not. This script could be a lot smarter if it would first make the contents of the Clipboard. Even a simple count of paragraphs would be a great help.
Crew on this forum, it is clear that the more current idea to check the contents of the Clipboard in the JS is to create a temporary text box, paste in and then to get the content of the temporary image. But I think remember that AppleScript was directly access the contents of the Clipboard and having read VBscript might as well.
So: someone at - it a code snippet that shows how to use VBscript to get the content of the Clipboard and send it to javascript?
The following works on Mac and theoretically should work on Windows, but I don't have an easy way to test at the moment.
alert(GetClipboard()); function GetClipboard(){ var clipboard; if(File.fs == "Macintosh"){ var script = 'tell application "Finder"\nset clip to the clipboard\nend tell\nreturn clip'; clipboard = app.doScript (script,ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE); } else { var script = 'Set objHTML = CreateObject("htmlfile")\r'+ 'returnValue = objHTML.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.GetData("text")'; clipboard = app.doScript(script,ScriptLanguage.VISUAL_BASIC); } return clipboard; }

Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.

The problems of Firefox using Firefox SafeModeWhen in Safe Mode...
- The State of plugins is not affected.

How to paste into the text field of the Clipboard with JavaScript?
I implement the following actions in the form of javascript:
1. a user clicks on a link on the PDF to open a web page
2. the user uses the web page to find information and then copy text from the web page
3. the user clicks a button on the pdf form and it formats the text to the Clipboard and paste them into the text fields.
I can't find any references for the reading of the data from the Clipboard with javascript in PDF Forms. is it not possible?
Perhaps 'not possible' was a little too hard. It would be a security hole if she accepts a script in a form to copy the contents of the Clipboard without the user explicitly allowing it. It has been possible to copy the contents of the Clipboard into a form field using the app.execMenuItem method without the user knowing / allowing it, but that hole was closed. The restriction can be overcome, as explained in the documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.143.html

Hi guys, I was wonder if anyone can give me a hand with a script.
I need to be able to paste a list of file names of the files as follows:
0001.jpg 0002.jpg 0003.jpg 0004.jpg
At the moment, if I select the files in the Finder, copy to the Clipboard and paste them in TextEdit, they are like this:
0001.jpg
0002.jpg
0003.jpg
0004.jpg
I found a similar but slightly different script and I don't know how to change it. Here it is:
Define extension_list to {"jpg", "" JPG","jpeg","JPEG"}
the value cbNames (Clipboard text) paragraphs
Set csvNames to {}
the tid value delimiters to point to the text of the AppleScript
the text value of the AppleScript point delimiters ".»
-now, make a list of names without extensions
Repeat with the names in cbNames
If the point 2 of the text names is extension_list then
copy of text 1 of names at the end of csvNames
end if
end repeat
Journal csvNames
-now the filenames as comma CONCATENATE string separated
the text value of the point delimiters AppleScript «»
csvNames value cross-as text
the text value of the point AppleScript delimiters tid
There is an easier way. Open a TextEdit document and paste the list in. Place the cursor at the end of the first item and drag it to the start of the second.
Press on + command + c to copy and then command + f to bring up find it. Press command + v (do not click in the first search field). Check the 'Replace' box, click in the field replace, and then type a comma and a space.
Click 'All' and then 'done '.

Shift + 2 key combination also paste text to the Clipboard
I use a Dell Inspiron laptop. About 3 days ago, when I pressed Shift + 2, it not only print symbol @, also paste the text into the Clipboard.
For example:
I copy the "cat" text, and then type my email, it is assumed to be @live.com, but prove @catlive.com
The same problem also happens to other shift-[number key] except number 5 and 6.
This problem has never happened before, and the only thing I installed recently is driver dell wireless (re - INSTALL a week ago).
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

CS6 is not paste the last text on the Clipboard, but older
OSX 10.8.2, InDesign CS6
I can't paste text from Word 2011 mac in Indesign CS6. When I try to paste the text into InDesign text before the current copy is displayed. (although the legal text is on the Clipboard). The problem is that InDesign stops after trying this 3 - 4 times.
Someone knows this problem and has a solution?
No, its okay but not the text of the last copy, but the one that precedes it.
This is how it goes:
1. I copy text from word
2. paste in InDesign with no problems
3 copy text to another word
4 paste in InDesign to show the text in step 2 and not the text copied in step 3
5 remove the pasted text
6 paste times shows the correct text in step 3
...
After repeated 3 - 4 times what InDesign closes
I hope my explanation is understanable
Best regards

Now I have to go to the dropdown for the tool to access when buffer before having its own icon in the toolbar.

Let me preface this by saying I installed Snow Leopard, but I can't honestly remember if this problem started before or after the installation. I have not had any problems to do this before.
My problem seems to stick my Clipboard from a source outside of Acrobat 9.1.3. I change the work of other artists done in Illustrator and introduced to me in Acrobat. I sometimes attracted an example of work in Illustrator, copy (usually using command/shift/4 then control/click-drag) to the Clipboard, then just order a v in Acrobat and all goes well. But lately, the work will not stick. What sticks is the text that was before the Clipboard of the work.
I tried to use the snapshot tool with the same results. I can paste the Clipboard work in Illustrator very well - even MSWord, but not Acrobat. I tried copying and pasting from Acrobat, Acrobat and it won't work. I can copy of Acrobat, Illustrator successfully. Just not in Acrobat.
With success, I can't copy / paste of text and lines and points and arrows in the markup menu in Acrobat. At I have accidentally trips a switch, that I'm not aware? Or is it a thing of Snow Leopard?
My (not the best) solution is to save the Illustrator any example in PDF format page, then slide in after the page I am annotating in Acrobat. It works a little, but clumsy. As I said, everything was fine until recently. It has always worked fine before.
Suggestions?
No problem. I inherited this very particular character of my father. We might as well say or write something innocent for us and it means go, and he came to another sounding like they were insulting.
It happens to the best of us.
(Please note the information is given by an experienced user of Acrobat.) I'm not an Adobe employee).

help sites Web copy to the Clipboard, and then paste it on Facebook
Hello...
How can I copy and paste all the web pages I want to paste it into Facebook. In my Touchpad.
When I click on the address of the Web site, at the top of the page, it, correctly, highlights the entire address, however, in the drop down menu, on the left, there is no option exemplary editing past etc.
In addition, the only other way I found, is to try to send the link, then try to copy the link in the email send, however, that e-mail is the name of the web page text, providing a link to the page. So I can not stick to Facebook from the email.
Am I mistaken.
can I ask function to copy the web address to the Clipboard.
Also is there an easy way to copy the web address on the Clipboard so you can paste facebook.
Thank you. :-)
Here's how:
Press and hold on the link. Depending on how long you hold that it can produce two results - for me, this usually points to the whole link then keyboard appears and the cursor go to the link. Not a problem, now tap and hold your finger there until the bubble 'Select Select all stick them' opens. Tap "select all" and the link has been copied to the Clipboard. To where you want that it stuck and just hold your finger on the screen until the bubble even opens. Choose 'Paste' and the link.
From time to time, it works as it should - press and hold the link, it becomes yellow, tap again and the 'Copy' option bubble will appear. I think that it depends on to know if the keyboard is displayed when you press the link. Keyboard upwards and you touch & hold = "cut copy paste" dialog, keyboard facing downwards = the dialog box "select Select all paste them.

How can I access my copy and paste the clipboard history to return a paragraph?
I was on Facebook and I cut and paste a few answers to a friends post when Facebook, remove the previous cut and paste on the wall of the person. How can I go back in the history of the Clipboard and access a previous cut and paste paragraph?
Rather than write it all over again from memory, it would be much faster and easier if I could recover the previous cut and paste.
Does make sense?
Thanks for any help.
