fictionalbeing Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 After taking a snapshot in Foxit PDF Reader, the clipboard content does not paste into Photo or Designer. Nor does it show when "Create from Clipboard" is used. It creates a layer, but the layer is empty. The snapshot appears in other software. If you copy the original snapshot in other software and then paste into Photo, it appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee_T Posted May 14, 2023 Staff Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hi fictionalbeing, It sounds like Foxit PDF reader is copying to the clipboard in a format incompatible with our software. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fictionalbeing Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Understood, but it copy/pastes into Photoshop and other software? See the results of a Create from Clipboard in Affinity 2, 2.04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Free Clipboard Viewer one of the formats Foxit PDF Reader puts in the clipboard is Bitmap, or Bitmap DIB, or Bitmap DIBV5: But it shows up in Photo 2 (Beta) as a transparent image with a standard Paste (Ctrl+V). Paste Special shows Device Independent Bitmap DIB and Device Independent Bitmap DIBV5, but both also show up as transparent image layers. fictionalbeing 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Turcotte Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I see the same issue with a snapshot freeware i've been using reliably forever (prtscr) Worked flawlessly for all affinity photo 1.x version It pastes... nothing (on initial V2 or newer v2.1.0) :( Solved the issue by uninstalling prtscr and opting for greenshot screen capture freeware.
