Writing, still visible on copy / paste to Word in Adobe 9 Professional

Hello

As a public authority and the Organization of the Government of the United Kingdom, subject to the Freedom of Information Act, we purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional a few years ago so that we could to redact the sensitive text of documents before releasing them to the public.

I discovered today that, if a user cancels the blackened text to Microsoft Word the redacted text is visible.

This is a HUGE security hole and it's crazy that a product sold in order to facilitate the drafting process is so easy to get around!

How is - what is possible and what is the difficulty (and Adobe don't please tell pay £400 to update you version)

Help and feedback from Adobe please.

  • How can I copy, paste the Word document in Adobe Reader PDF?

    A customer is not using Microsoft Word, but type the text for my editing in Adobe PDF. Too many changes, too heavy for me. After the PDF to Word conversion, I change using different colors of ink. How can I copy, cut, paste edition WORD document into a PDF? Other than using "trombone" or features "attachments"?

    With Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can not. At the very least, it requires the full version of Acrobat, and even in this case, it can be difficult.

    Your best bet is to do all the editing of the original document (not the pdf) and then create a new pdf from that.

  • Which is more accurate: number of words in the Javascript or copy/paste in Word?

    In providing Word manual counts, that I'm working, I noticed that by using a JavaScript in Acrobat gives me a number that differs from the one I get when I copy the text in the PDF file and paste it into MS Word. Which is more accurate?

    Thank you.

    No doubt Word. JavaScript in Acrobat can consider each point online

    Do the points to be a Word.

    It is possible to ignore them, but you will need a more sophisticated code.

    What code you are using, anyway?

  • Copy-paste to other applications (like 2004 PPT) in broken CS5? -OS 10.6.3

    Hello

    New Mac to avoid issues went to the new Leopard snow after Photoshop CS5. Oops.

    Copy-paste from other Apps in CS5
    Paste images/pictures in Powerpoint 2004 for CS5, I knew the exact problem posted a little off-topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 doesn't let me copy and paste file names."  He did not and is quoted here:

    -"I use Photoshop CS5 and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still work with other Macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint, but it divides images into two and don't know what is the resolution of the image. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the resolution of the image is also not retained. » ---

    In addition, I found also copy - paste of a photo.jpg digital camera Preview for CS5 does not respect the resolution either. Directly open the photo in PS CS5, fine.

    PS earlier, was still able to copy any image to the Clipboard, have a dialog box new document come pre-filled with correct original LxH pixels native resolution, color mode, etc and just paste in the new document - perfect fit (even the eccentric ppi PPT 576). Now a passage and cut.  Don't have not PPT 2008 to test paste them from there.

    I also found a similar picture but less serious cut happens when copying and pasting of PPT-> preview, or -> TextEdit, or-> drag and drop photo clipping.

    Open the Image file in CS5
    Even an original file tiff 300 dpi went to 72 dpi when opened directly into CS5 etc. Convert the file to the jpeg preview - this jpeg file format can be opened in CS5 correctly, converted the jpeg to TIFF in preview, always open OK (not counting the loss of image quality). Still could not copy paste every document in CS5 correctly. A difference that I noticed in the converted files was more information available in the information on Preview file. Perhaps, that makes the difference by opening the file correctly.

    I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

    Photoshop CS5 uses the Cocoa API for the paper, which are very different from the old APIs of carbon.

    In addition, the Cocoa API as convert formats (sometimes wrongly) and have different assumption of transparency than the old APIs.

    Yes, we have found several applications where Clipboard support did not work properly and notified Apple so they could fix the cocoa of the Clipboard functions.

    (Note that Office is still carbon, and probably wrote PICT in the Clipboard, that cocoa tries to translate in TIFF format)

    Regarding the file TIFF - can send you one of these files to ccox at adobe (dot) com?

    I'll take a look at metadata and see why the resolution is not be read correctly.

  • Word using online but can't copy / paste top

    Hi I have windows 8.1. I'm trying to use word online. I have copied information to the Clipboard and you want to paste into word so that I can modify it. It is said that you can not stick to Firefox (I use one browser.) It is said to run javascript? any thoughts anyone? Thank you

    My deepest condolences!

    I'm still using Office / Word 2010 on mobile home - and I'm very happy for her.  The smile.  I purchased Office 2013 and I don't even like that.  Laughing.  I have to spend time with Cloudish-Word when I get another book of travel - sigh.

    I don't know really not the answer to your question - I suspected this MAY have been the answer, only because you use Firefox people who use Firefox tend to also use NoScript and also Ghostery.

    NoScript blocks javascript until a "allows" the page temporarily or permanently (with "Allow") - this is a very normal behavior.  If you do not open 'new' Web pages very often so you can't see the issue very often even if you use NoScript - OR you never understood what was going on and why certain things on your Web pages just never worked.

    Non-working javascript does not lock to the top of the entire Web page. only some parts are not visible.  It is no need to explain in detail - an EXAMPLE might be if you open a shopping Web page and the part of the comment of the page does not - it is an example of a Java script that should be "allowed" to run - so you allow 'Temporarily' the entire Web page and poof!  Comments work, the works of Web page and you can do shopping on the Web page.

    The word online might have hidden "bits" in there that require the same kind of "open doors".  The main part is open when you get there - but there are other parts that should be allowed or loading in addition to the main program if the entire Web page and program can work for you.

    People put up with all sorts of things - if she does not jump and crashed the page, we tend to shrug their shoulders and say: "OK - it's bad, but I think I can live with that."    The smile.

    Good luck!

  • Y at - it an alternative to the IndicPlus to copy paste from MS word?

    I'm new to inDesign, do history languages Punjabi already typed in MS Word, but when I copy paste on inDesign 5.5, it changes the text. Is it possible to fix this, or should I buy IndicPlus? If there is no best solution please advise, thank you

    My team in India typed using a keyboard online (google can be), above send it to me via facebook, I copied and pasted in ms word, edited for content and spelling, copied from there mistakes in inDesign, and here its all messed up.

    HM, well, if it's in the keyboard online Google, then chances are good that it is encoded. As Peter said, tell us the name of the fonts used in (Word and ID) will help.

    One thing to note: I have not tried to use one of these scripts for CS4 (I went out and bought global tools of in - Tools.com, it of great but has no specific Indic language tools) so that the script could not operate. Here's how to check: click on this little button in the upper right corner below the buttons enlarge/reduce to a minimum:

    If there is a check mark next to the Adobe paragraph composer or composer single Adobe... then the universal composer is not on. It is possible that the script will not work in CS5.5, is since then has been written for CS4. If the WRC is enabled, then there should not be any control here at all.

    Another place to look is in the menu of Justification:

    If the WRC is permanently on: then it may well be the police. I've never seen a script Punjabi police who worked in Word but not ID, but I have seen this in other complex script languages (Tibetan, Khmer).

    Finally, with regard to the question of how-to-communicate-with-Adobe: I think you have a very good reason to want to communicate your position at Adobe. However, we have some employees who post here regularly receive a bit when shady people that we are trying to help (for free!) message with anger on Adobe supposed problems. If we can understand that there is something really wrong here, that Adobe can fix, then I certainly will help you find a way to communicate with real employees of Adobe (whether by the feature request form, or by starting a pension case).

  • Copy and paste from word in InDesign - foreign characters

    Hello

    I have a Word file using fonts foreign, Chinese, Korean etc.. I have the fonts on my computer because the word document shows them OK... but, if I try to copy and paste the text into InDesign, these characters that either don't watch any or you just get the color pink with small gray squares... Anyone out there has advice for how to manage this kind of situation.

    Thank you!!

    Babs

    Oooh, OK. I get my finger-waving caution.

    It could be a number of different things. I almost always place instead of copy and paste, but I have no trouble copy & paste text of complex script of any sort in any of my different versions and platforms. I figure that there are two different ways - is it something about implementing folds or Clipboard which this (which means it could be decompressed exactly in the same way as any police drop, no complex-script knowledge required) or there is something about the no Latin text itself that causes the problem. Take a look at the Clipboard (Edit-> preferences-> Clipboard handling) settings to see if these settings solves the problem by changing the settings of plain text for example.

    If this does not work, I would say showing a lot more detail. Platform, versions of Word and Indy, the specific policies are a failure, a description of the way styles are implemented in the current Word and Indy docs, maybe a sample of the doc Word and Indy zipped and made available for testing (for example if I can successfully copy and paste in the RFSO when your username cannot) (, there is something wrong with the installation of the user), and so on. Without such information, the best I can do is take random speculation.

  • Can not copy / paste from one folder to another.

    Just recently, I can't copy and paste a word document to a different folder, and my office is locked and can not move icons. I've unlocked settings, also tried to reconstruct the dates. Running advanced system of care. Creates a new user. Nothing works. My computer as most of the people is a tool and not used to play games, it's time to implement a different system, that is to say Windows 7 or wait 8. I honestly thought that XP Pro has been very stable and I have all the important issues in over 5 years, and in this case. This is the result of an update?

    Hello

    1 did you change your computer, after which the issue started?
    2. the issue of copy paste only occurs with Microsoft Word?

    Windows XP is still very stable and reliable. If you want to upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can do it. It's a good idea to upgrade your operating system to get used to a new User Interface that would give you a new experience altogether.

    Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    Test the issue in safe mode.

    Step 2:

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode, I suspect that there is a conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I suggest that you start your computer in a clean boot State in order to eliminate conflicts of third party software.
