Question

Adobe DC Copy Paste Full Pages stops working

I am compiling pages from different pdfs into one pdf as a data source document. I will use the pages panel on the left hand side to select a page ctrl + C (or right click- copy), then go to my data source document and paste that page in the order I need.

 

After about 10-15 pages, the copy function stops working. I will highlight a single page, right click - copy and nothing happens (typically this will produce a symbol indicating the page was copied). Ctrl + C doesn't work either. It's as if Adobe's clipboard is full and cannot take any more information (though I know of no way to clear a "clipboard" or "cache" or if one even exists in Adobe Acrobat DC).

 

If I close Adobe Acrobat DC and re-open, I can once more copy and past full pages. Also, if I split-screen I can drag pages from one pdf to my data source document and it will automatically copy. But again, I cannot use ctrl + C or right click + copy.

 

I'm complining pages from 8 pdfs (some containing thousands of pages) and closing/reopening them is quite time consuming. Please help any way you can and thank you.

Same problem here. Works up to a certain point then the software just sort of gives up and you can't use the function anymore. I actually noticed this for other functions as well, not just copy and paste. It's like you get to use the software as it was intended for maybe 15 minutes, then you pretty much have to restart your computer for it to work well again. Just badly optimized.
