Hi,
I just recently started to get this "Could not import the clipboard because the specified format is not in the edition ", I have never had this problem before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.What versions of Photoshop and Illustrator? What platform?

Have you recently made changes to the programs — installed updates or plugins or something like that? If you’re on Mac OS X, have you repaired permissions recently?

That’s all I can think of right now. Let us know more about your setup.

And hey — welcome to the forum!

I have a mac iBook g4, and use Adobe CS applications. Got tigerX a couple of weeks ago. The problem started this week. I have only updated mac stuff not Adobe.


Thanx

Try this solution:

Check your preferences in Illustrator and make sure the clipboard is set to AICB.

Preference> Files & Clipboard. Under Clipboard, check the Copy As AICB box.http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?13@388.mn6he3EHifV.0@.3bba4501
