Skipping to the top of the document when text selection tool selected

This may be difficult to explain. But often after I click in the toolbar to switch over to a specific Adobe document (in windows 7) that I previously opened and that is open to a page other than page 1 and with the text select tool has been selected, if I click into the text on the page (say page 4) and then scroll down with the mouse wheel to get to page five, the program will jump back to the beginning of page 1. (display is set at single page - fit page). I like Acrobat very much, but I find this to be extremely irritating and wasteful when trying to select text from and navigate a large document. Can you please tell me why this occurs?

I READ the user guide, which told me view>format bar>show format bar. I am talking about the bar that shows how to set the format-- font, spacing, etc. That has gone gray, and eliminated all the settings so I can't alter the settings or print.
Mari,
We're here to try to help you; we get some satisfaction out of helping folks to get along with their Apple Pages software. If you just take this one step at a time, I'm sure we can sort it out.
Thanks for clearing up what your primary issue is. You had Fruhulda all confused with your complaint about printing. I sort of glossed over the printing issue because you seemed to be more focused on the formatting.
Please re-read my first post - the part about the Format Bar being contextual - and let's go from there.

Text select tool not working properly

When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.

Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

Ravi.

Hello,
        Thanks for your response.
        I have implemented the function for AVToolRec as follows.
        AVToolRec AVRect;
        AVRect.size = sizeof(AVToolRec);
        AVRect.GetType = ASCallbackCreateProto(GetTypeProcType, &ToolGetType);
        AVRect.DoClick = ASCallbackCreateProto(DoClickProcType, &DoClick);
        AVRect.AdjustCursor = ASCallbackCreateProto(AdjustCursorProcType, &AdjustCursor);
        AVAppRegisterTool(&AVRect);
        ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 AdjustCursor(AVTool tool, AVPageView pageView, Int16 x, Int16 y)
               AVSysSetCursor((AVCursor) LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_CROSS));           //Works fine for cross
   I want to develop the cursor as acrobat provides.. "Selection tool for text and images"
   I tried to change the cursor to IDC_BEAM, But it's not useful. Is it possible to create the cursor as acrobat provides and get coordinates for the text selection.
Please help me to solve this.

KdeGraphics-Okular - How to change the color of Text Selection tool

Hello All
I'm trying to know how to change/fix the color of the Text Selection Tool (Ctrl + 4). Because when I highlight the text, it's only one color (Dark Blue) that make me could not read clear.
---- My OS Configuration
OS : Arch
DE: LXDE
WM: OpenBox

The highlight color is determined by the system-wide color scheme that you're using. There's no way to change it only for okular.

Text selection tool is completely missing

Hallo,
I newly bought Adobe Acrobat XI. It's running on Windows 7. Unfortunately the text and graphic selection tool (the small arrow) is missing in the toolbar. It's not possible to select it to the toolbar - it doesn't appear anywhere. We installed Adobe on another PC (Win 7 as well) and the symbol appeared next to the free-hand tool.
Since the selection tool is quite important for me I'd be glad if somebody coul help me.

Are you talking about the Select Object tool, which is a small black left pointing arrow, or the Edit Text & Images tool, which looks like a pencil drawing on a piece of paper, or something else?

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 - Text Free Tool Problem

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 on my office pc.
When I use text free tool to key in the text, the letters are not visible.
Therefore you will not able see letters when you start typing or keying in the text box.
Is there any solution? Pls help......

I was successful in installing AA5 in Win7 Starter as a test. It works except that I changed the printer port to file (AcroTray or the Distiller Assistant of AA5 does not work in Win7). You can open the files that are created in Distiller to create PDFs. You may be able to use watched folders to automate the process to some degree.
I suspect that your question is more of having problems reading PDF files in AA5. That is a different issue. It is not a Win7 compatibility issue, but one of needing a newer PDF viewer. I have AA5 on one XP machine that I use Reader X on for seeing the newer files. I do have to deal with some conflicts between AA5 and ARX, but I can deal with that (many folks lose there minds on that).
There is one other option that might be a major problem. Many folks are getting Win7 on 64-bit machines. In that case, you will have to be sure AA5 runs in 32-bit compatibility.
At least that should give you some ideas of what might work. If a 64-bit machine, you may definitely have a problem -- I never tested that combination.

Use the select tool which is the arrow as I show in this movie. You can copy and paste into another document.
Now if you want to edit text that another subject altogether.

Using text select tool in Preview--pasting into Word

Hi, since the recent updates made Acrobat Pro 7 unusable (installer crashes, Acrobat crashes upon displaying title bars . . . I've posted on this elsewhere), I have been using Preview. I noticed that when I select and copy a piece of text in Preview and then paste this selection into a Word document the selection is unreadable. Is there any way to make the image readable?

Liz,
I have the same problem. Acrobat Reader 7 works well in my computer... I do not know if you can copy/paste into Word. However, I am going to reintall the System X and not do the recent updates (QT7, wireless keyboard and Security from last Friday)

CS6 Crash on Text Select Tool

So I've just updated to CS6 (8.0.1) from 5, and every time I try to select the type tool and click to drag or click an existing box I get a crash. Not so with the earlier version CS5 (7.0.4).
http://pastebin.com/U6FBw3Gk
I've run Cocktail (permissions repaired) and reloaded the software with no joy.
Anyone?

Try this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
The mistake I made was that I deleted the files, (InDesign Defaults and InDesign Saved Data), what I had to do was rename the folder that contains the file(s) (Version 8.0 folder). Renaming as opposed to Deleting so you can revert back to the originals if needed.
So, for;
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/(Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used) Rename the Version 8.0 folder something else, e.g., "Old 8.0"
Do the same for;
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/ (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used)
Rename the Version 8.0 folder something else, e.g., "Old 8.0"
Now start InDesign. This is what worked for me. You might want to try deleting just the files ("InDesign Defaults" and "Saved Data") from their respective folders before doing the whole folder rename way.

How to recover the selection tool?

Acrobat XI. The selection tool (arrow only - not the one that's an arrow with a text-insert cursor next to it) disappeared from the ribbon on my Acrobat. How do I get it back?

How do I go to Tools? I don't see that anywhere. And everything I've tried with the word "Tools" in it doesn't bring up anything that says "Interactive Objects".
Here's what my interface looks like:

Preview's PDF text select ignores columns and misses word spaces

I have a number of scanned pdf newspaper articles that I was attempting to copy the text from. Preview appears to register the existence of columns, as there is a pale blue background between the columns.
However when I use the text select tool, it completely ignores the column - and just selects across all columns. And when I paste the text into my text editor, it's missing all the spaces between the words, and the font size is always huge.
Conversely, Adobe reader in XP has no problem selecting by column, and the pasted text is also an exact replication of the original content. I don't know why Preview performs so badly in this regard? Anyone else experience any issues with pdf text select?

Anyone else experience any issues with pdf text select?
Yes, and not just recently.
There is a reason Preview is named, well, preview. It is not an authoring environment and PDFs are not meant to serve in that context either...unless maybe you understand all of inherent the font traps, tricks & tips and how to tune your scanning/OCR software to keep rework to a minimum.
Scanning PDFs is always tricky, and without the occasional heavy metal to bring to the task, it just seems to be that more problematic.
Keep trying, but I'd really suggest to look to other tools at this time.

Acrobat X selection tool fails to detect paragraphs of text...

Acrobat X selection tool fails to detect paragraphs of text. Manually selected paragraphs have broken sentences with line breaks. This problem is also noticed when you attempt to triple click a paragraph and only one line of text is selected instead of a paragraph. Can this be fixed?

can't it tell by the visual formatting of indents, text proximity/clusters, etc? if humans can tell, why can't acrobat be trained to tell?

How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

I'm creating reports in Crystal XI. The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser. Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags. Here's that workaround:

QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports? If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

Hi Steven,
To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue
