Question

integration – I can dream, but I can also ask questions :-}

Don't ask why, 'cause it's demeaning for a grown man to break down and sob, but I've just had to copy/paste some text changes from a FM document (in-house source) to a .pdf (submitted by an external agency after they'd somehow massaged our content into InDesign) for the next round of updates. I observe that this copy/paste helpfully prefixes the actual content with a generous list of fonts.

I can (and did) cleanse the text with a textEditor wash – like mifWash but different – but just wondered if there is any light to be cast on this quirky mis-cooperation between FM and Acrobat?

    Niels,

    I think FM has always picked up the "rich" content when you do a copy (that's why there's the Paste Special to allow you specify the content type, as well as the order of content type in the maker.ini ClipboardFormatsPriorities entry).

    You could always try creating PDFs of the FM content and then copy&paste from PDF to PDF.

    … so what I might benefit from would be a paste special in Acrobat

    I hope I sha'n't have to do this sort of thing again, but if I do (and for the type of content involved) I'll select all and then copy/paste into a text editor. I'll keep the intermediate .pdf trick in my toolbox :-}
