Copy & paste über Tastatur in Adobe Acrobat Formular nicht möglich

Question

Hallo,ich habe ein Formular mit vielen Textfeldern in Adobe Acrobat erstellt. Wenn ich nun den Inhalt von einem Textfeld mit der Tastenkombination strg+c kopieren und mit strg+v in ein anderes Textfeld einfügen möchte, funktioniert das nicht. Auch das Einfügen in einem anderen Programm funktioniert nicht. Das Kopieren und Einfügen per rechten Mausklick ist allerdings ganz normal möglich.Ich habe schon sämtliche Einstellungen durchgeschaut, finde aber nichts dazu. Ist jemanden das Problem bekannt und kann mir helfen?Vielen Dank schon einmal!

Hi @Martina3284961806zx,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We understand how important it is for keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to work smoothly when working with form fields in Adobe Acrobat.

This behavior, where right-click copy/paste works, but keyboard shortcuts do not, can occur in certain environments due to focus or security-related settings. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Disable Protected Mode (Windows Only, for testing purposes):

Go to Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck “Enable Protected Mode at startup.”
Restart Acrobat

Note: This setting helps protect your system, so we recommend only temporarily disabling it to test. If this resolves the issue, you can add your file’s location to Privileged Locations.

2. Repair Acrobat Installation:

Navigate to Help > Repair Installation to fix any corrupted files that may affect application behavior.

3. Check for JavaScript Conflicts:

Some custom scripts within a form may override default keyboard behaviors. To test:
- Go to Edit > Preferences > JavaScript
- Temporarily disable “Enable Acrobat JavaScript.”

4. Test Focus Behavior:

Click outside the text field and then re-click into it before copying.
Or use the Tab key to enter the field instead of the mouse.

Let us know how it works at your end.
