Clipboard Characters Lost

[Learner]

I am attempting to capture clipboard text from PDF viewer text copies(cntrl c). However sometimes certain characters like ff,ffi and f end up being replaced by a "?" in the string after clipboard capture.
Cannot figure out why this is happening. If I paste to notepad the text is fine.

Code: Select all

ClipData= GetClipboardText()  
Debug "clipdata: "+clipdata

Would greatly appreciate any help.

If you use PB <5.5 try to turn on "create Unicode executable" at Compiler Options... This may helps.
