https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Copy-a-file-into-the-clipboard/m-p/65350#M17955 Hi there,  I want to copy a pdf-file from the windows explorer into the clipboard (CTRL C) and paste it in another application. "Move File" or "Copy File" from VBO "Utility - File Management" is not working because i have to paste the file in a different application. Is there an easier way to do it instead of opening and spying windows explorer, click the file, send key event CTRL C?   thank you in advance Markus  Fri, 16 Feb 2018 18:34:00 GMT MarkusReich 2018-02-16T18:34:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Copy-a-file-into-the-clipboard/m-p/65350#M17955 Hi there,  I want to copy a pdf-file from the windows explorer into the clipboard (CTRL C) and paste it in another application.

Another idea is to create a new code stage to read a file path and copy the file to clipboard. Then you could use keystroke to past to the app. Fri, 16 Feb 2018 23:17:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Copy-a-file-into-the-clipboard/m-p/65351#M17956 John__Carter 2018-02-16T23:17:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Copy-a-file-into-the-clipboard/m-p/65352#M17957 Hi John,  will try this!
