Solved Cant copy & paste to paint?

[redrooster01]

It was working great until recently. If I can remember correctly I used to go to either file or edit at top left corner and copy the screenshot,schematic,etc. Then paste to paint but it doesnt work any more? Ive run sfc/scannow but that didnt fix it? Any ideas?

What program do you use for this ?

Hi,
Have you tried Paste from in paint if it's a local file.
How about the keyboard shortcut PrtScrn key and paste in paint ?

There's always the windows snipping tool

Acrobat reader DC is the program. When I go to edit to click copy, the copy section is greyed out?

I havent got a PrtScrn tab on my HP keyboard? and I cant copy from with-in paint either. As for snipping I would just like to get my old tried and true method back working again.My 63y/o brain is set in its ways. lol

Hello redrooster01,

Are you using the same method in the tutorial below to copy and paste?

I dont have the tab Prtscrn on my keyboard? Maybe Ive updated the wrong Adobe Acrobat program?

Snipping Tool may be a good option then if you don't want to use a 3rd party program to capture with.

odd, ... in all my born put-together I have never seen a keyboard without a print screen 'key'. Look carefully in the upper-right area of your keyboard.

If it's a multimedia type keyboard for a TV, it may not have a print screen key. I had one that didn't.

Oh yeah! I found it (PrtScr/SysRq) but I dont need it now because I uninstalled the Adobe Acrobat DC update and downloaded the old Adobe version 11.0.10, now its all back to normal again. Thanks for the help anyway fellas because I learned more from this than I had bargained for. LOL P.S. Adobe wants me to update to the DC version again.
