Copying and pasting pages not working

[defaultbp5qfzb1ny7w]

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to copy pages from one PDF to another. On my old computer I'd select the pages on the left then use CTRL + C and It would show a cut line around the pages that were copied. Then I'd CTRL + V when moving my mouse under the page where I want the pages to go, and it would create a blue line. I just got a new computer and now when I do this it does not copy or paste. I have to drag from one to another. 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello,

Try this...

Go to Organize Pages...

 

Select the page you want to copy, note the blue line next to the page. your short cut keys will work with this to.

go to the document\page where you want to paste the copied page to.

Done!

Regards,

Mike

the cut, copy paste features are missing for me both for shortcuts and also when using the organize pages method. using acrobat standard DC.

If you wish to Copy & Paste pages, you do that from the left side-panel. [Note: be sure to select a page before looking for Copy or Cut. To Paste a page, it should be available AFTER you cut or copy a page.

Try restarting Acrobat. This worked for me.

This is the only fix I have found but the problem persists, sometimes not long after restarting it. If anyone has a permanent solution, please post.

This is absolutely a bug that needs to be fixed.   The copy and paste mechanism in "Organize Pages" only works once or twice, and then I have to restart Acrobat Pro in order to get it to work again.  This is VERY frustrating when working with large documents that need a lot of restructuring.

Agreed. If this has been a problem for more than a year, Adobe should have fixed it by now. Is this due to overwhelming the clipboard buffer? I noticed that it happens more often when I copy larger numbers of pages.

This is absolutley clownish. Copy and Paste are foundational functions for any application that manages text and they need to be simple and intuitive. If they aren't, why am I paying to use this product? Fix your tech, Adobe and invest in some HCI classes for your designers.

Just bought a license after years of using open source pdf editors to more easily combine pdf files and immediately ran into this. So dissappointing...

[Jasmine36615653fktv]

Having the same issue. Very clownish indeed.

I am also having trouble copying pages. The copy and paste functions are greyed out and unusable, and there don't appear to be any security settings that would prevent page copying.
