Copy and Paste from Excel

Post by anitawildman »

We have upgraded from V6 to V8. Previously we copied from xls and pasted into pdf xchange and it pasted beautifully. It now pastes terribly (I see there are various options for how to paste and none of them work as it did previously). It needs to have the same alignment as it did in xls and be able to edit the content - this worked previously. Any suggestions?

Hi, anitawildman

This was due to a change in the handling of pasting content, we now offer multiple different formats to past in, and the default is "rich text" which cannot contain all the complexities of XLSX, previously we would past this content as either an image or metafile. If you right click and select the "metafile" option (shown below) it will be remembered for future pasting and properly retain the details you need.
