Adobe Reader: "There was an error while copying to Clipboard. An internal error occurred"

[Akul]

Hello,
I'm having one PDF file downloaded from internet , but when i try to copy its contents it gives me the following error:

Adobe Reader: There was an error while copying to Clipboard. An internal error occurred.

What that means? Please give me urgent help, i need to prepare some documentation today only.

Thanks in advance for help.

Does this pdf have security on it?

file > document properties should display what security the pdf has...

...it may not allow copying or editing...

Which version of Adobe reader? Have you tried foxit reader? the 90% chance is its security protected. Its having copyright and you cannot copy its contents.

I don't think so its having any security, see the screenshot of security tab in properties below:

here is the solution : start the clipbook service in the NT service manager. open system32\clipbrd.exe, and delete all the contents. now copy from the pdf again. NO_ERROR : - )
