unable to paste from clipboard into PDF document

[Guest]

Recently Adobe updated my Acrobat to 10.1.2.45. Now I'm unable to past images from clipboard into a pdf document. For example, using another windows program I might copy an image to the Windows clipboard, open up a pdf document, and click on the Edit menu expecting to be able to select Paste and paste the image from the windows clipboard onto a page in the PDF document. However, Paste is faded out in the Edit menu and is unselectable. I was doing this about 10 times a day and now that feature is unavailable to me. CTL-V also does not work.

Hello Sahatchai,

Thanks very much for your idea but it wasn’t what I was looking for.

Actually, I stumbled on the solution. The problem is that you cannot paste from the clipboard when you have the thumbnails side panel open. All I needed to do was close that side panel and the pasting worked.

By the way, I don’t see how to post this solution to the discussion for others to see. If you know how to do it, please do.

Thanks,

Bill

Thank you for this tip, Paula. I will try it when I have that issue, as it comes up regularly.

I am on a seven day trail for Adobe and I am glad that I did it that way.  I am horrified as to how difficult it is to copy and paste.  And also how difficult it is to get help.  I will not continue this trial.  It is back to Microsoft prducts for me.

Hi @robert_3129,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the experience.

I tried different workflows on my end and was not able to reproduce the issue.

Would you mind letting me know the workflow you are trying to achieve so I can better assist you? A screen recording video of the workflow would be great.

Also, please ensure that you are on the latest version (2024.004.202xx) for the best experience.
