Copy text with quotes - both ' and "

Post by lbdyck »

When attempting to copy text to the clipboard that includes any quotes the quotes are lost on the copy. Both single and double quotes (' and ") are lost.

Is there a setting for this?

(btw. this also occurs in the acrobat reader 8)

No such problem here. Can you attach a sample PDF where this happens?

Hi,

I was able to copy :

/* SAY ESAMON: Displays arbitrary performance data fields */
Parse Upper Arg fields ’/’ parms
’EXTRACT’ parms ’FIELDS’ fields
Do While RC = 0
Do i = 1 To WORDS(fields)
field = WORD(fields,i)
Interpret ’Say field ”=” ”’VALUE(field)’”’
End
’RETRIEVE’
End

hows that ?

although I am now using the latest V2.035 release :

app specific

It seems that I can copy and paste as well into other applications - I have an issue with my tn3270 emulator.

I should have tried it with other applications before posting.

Thanks
