No longer able to paste from Excel

Community Beginner ,
Aug 14, 2024 Aug 14, 2024

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro (64-bit).  Before about a month ago, I was able to copy a table from Excel and paste it into Adobe as an image.

 

After an update (I'm not sure which one), that function has not been working.  I've tried ctrl-v and right clicking in Adobe.  Paste doesn't even show as an option.

 

A temporary workaround has been using the snipping tool on my computer to take a screenshot of the table, saving it as an image, and inserting the image into the PDF file in Adobe.  This takes significantly longer than how we used to be able to do it and requires creating files for every table we want to copy and paste.

 

I've included a test table similar to ones we used to be able to copy and paste.

Hi Sophie,

Can you trying copying a table from excel sheet and navigating to Edit in Acrobat and then try pasting? Let me know if it works for you. I'm guessing you have tried the same before. As I checked this behvaior has not changed recently.

That worked! Thanks! I hadn't tried that since I used to be able to paste without going into Edit.
