I copied some text from a pdf document and tried to right click paste it into Writer. However there is no paste option in the context menu. I am using the French language version if that matters (paste is "coller" in French).
it works for me under Win8.1 with LO 4.3.4.1 are you sure it was not a protected PDF?
What was the PDF reader you used? What is your operating system?
Windows7 64 bit Adobe Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 LO 4.3.4.1 Note that CTRL-V works to paste the text, but the context menu has no paste opeion and the main menu (Edit->Paste) has it greyed out. While on the topic of paste, is there any way to do a paste without the formatting? I always have to paste into Notepad then copy from there to lose the formatting. Would be nice to have the option :)

Press Ctrl+Shift+V for quick access to it.
Hi, could you attach the .pdf you used so we can try to reproduce the problem. Thanks - Sophie

Created attachment 111770 [details] Example pdf file Copy a line from the pdf and try to paste into LO. You can do it with CTRL-V but not the menus.
still not confirming I can paste anything from that pdf into LibO 4.3.5.2
Created attachment 111835 [details] Missing paste option in context menu - screenshot I installed LO 4.3.5.2 and still have the same issue. Just to confirm: Win7 64 bit pro LO 4.3.5.2 Acrobat 11.0.10 Uploaded a screenshot of trying to paste with right click.
try resetting the user profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) I confirm the "paste" item exists in my LibO 4.3.5.2 under Win8.1 x64
I renamed my profile user-old and a new one was generated. Paste is still missing from the menus. Thanks for your suggestion tho.
Have you tried a different pdf reader ?
No.
Hi, tried with your pdf sample and was able to paste without problem from the contextual menu. I'm using a French version too. Sophie
Sounds like this has been a stickler to reproduce: Summary -> (hard to repro) (In reply to 2460acc from comment #9) > Win7 64 bit pro > LO 4.3.4.1 (or 4.3.5.2) > Acrobat 11.0.10 And: French language localization Tommy/Sophie: How close are our test setups to that configuration? - Windows version: - LO Version: - PDF Viewer + version: - French language?
No repro. Adobe Acrobat 11.0.1 Win 7 64-bit, LibO Version: 4.4.0.2 Build ID: a3603970151a6ae2596acd62b70112f4d376b99
Hello, Same problem here, but with 'copy source' inside the odt document itself (but also with source copy from pdf). - Select some text - Copy selection with Ctrl-C or menu Edit -> Copy The only option to paste text is Ctrl-V, no context menu option 'paste' and 'paste' and 'paste special' options grayed out in menu. If I quit LibO and reopen the same document, options and entry menu are back. Win 8.1 pro LibO 4.3.5.2 french I'm unable to give an obvious / certain way to reproduce the problem. It occurs sometimes, but perhpas it's the same problem, and this copy / paste bug isn't linked to pdf copy source.
OP here. I just switched to LO 4.4 and the problem has gone away. So I guess this bug is obsolete. Thanks for all your work guys.
