clipboardData

[wje123]

I just upgraded to 4.6.1 (from 4.5) and this command no longer returns anything for text copied from a PDF:

put the clipboardData["text"] into me

I use this function to copy data from PDF files into a field.
All was fine before upgrade.
Work around is to paste-special-unformatted into MS Word and then copy/paste into field.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Code: Select all

put the clipboardData["html"] into me

LIST :
