Acrobat touch up object tool

I want to edit a page scanned into Acrobat using Photoshop, but when I select the tool from Advanced Editing and click on the page to edit, the page is divided into two portions.  How can I make the whole page be selected as one object?  Select all doesn"t help.

Not if you want to do an in-place edit.

You can also just open the page in question using Photoshop.

  • Is there an "Edit Object Tool" in Acrobat 11?

    Is there an "Edit Object Tool" in Acrobat 11 that is comparable to the Edit Object Tool in Acrobat 10 and earlier versions?  Has it been discontinued, or split into 2 loosely connected tools, the new Edit Text and Images Tool?
    I love the new Edit Text Tool in Acrobat 11, but the old Edit Object Tool in Acrobat 10 and earlier versions was great when I wanted to resize a block of objects.  The old Edit Object Tool would resize both text and graphic objects, but not everything like form fields, although there are limited workarounds like printing the file to pdf to flatten it and then resizing, but doing so will discard the form fields.
    When using the old Edit Object Tool to resize a group of objects that contain text, it will scale the text in proportion to everything else in the selection.  The new Edit Text and Images Tool in Acrobat 11 does not resize or scale the text.  It does change the size of the text containers, but the text does not resize.
    There are situations where it is valuable to resize a group of objects that contain both text and images, but I can't get the new tool to do it, or I'm not operating the tool correctly.  Is this functionality gone in version 11, or am I doing something wrong or using the wrong tool?
    I initially upgraded both of my laptop workstations from Acrobat 10 to 11, but have now gone back to running Acrobat 10 on one machine and Acrobat 11 on the other so I can realize the great new functionality of the new Acrobat 11 Text Tools without losing the valuable functionality of the Edit Object Tool in earlier versions.
    I posted a 5 star positive review on Amazon at:
    http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GAQNISK3WR4S/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R3GAQNISK3WR4S
    but I might have to drop it to 4 stars if the old functionality has been discarded
    Clarification or guidance would be appreciated.

    Dave, Thank you for the accurate and effective information.  I added the icon to my toolbar.

  • "select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

    "select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

    You are correct.
    i was confusing select an object with select tool for text and graphics.  they look identical.
    i always thought it would be a good idea to have some type of explanation that appeared in front of a grayed out option, so the user could understand why it is grayed out
    thank you to all the group that helped

  • Touchup Object tool not available to colleague with Acrobat 9

    Is the TouchUp Object tool only available in Acrobat 9 Pro? A colleague who has Acrobat 9 Standard doesn't appear to have it in his Advanced Editing options. Is there something that can be done to make that option available? I looked at the comparison chart and it didn't indicate there was any difference.
    Thanks in advance.

    It is not available in Acrobat Standard:

  • Adobe acrobat invalid annotation object in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Version 9.3.1)

    Does Acrobat still support "9 Pro"? If yes does Acrobat wish to address the issue? if already did, where?
    I tried the following resolution, but problem is back:
    •         Launch Adobe Acrobat.
    •         Select Edit.
    •         Select Preferences.
    •         Select Commenting.
    •         Uncheck the following boxes:
    Enable text indicators and tool tips.
    Ensure that popups are visible as the document is scrolled.
    •         Click OK.
    •         Select "Select Object Tool" on Advanced Editing Toolbar.
    •         Delete comments on the problematic pages.
    Any help?

    For "1" -
    "Location" merely identfies where the PDF is on the end-user's computer.
    What you see when you view this while a PDF is open on your computer will not be what I see.
    If you come across a technique to hide/remove this for your license of Acrobat on your computer this technique won't be on my computer.
    For "2" -
    Select Advanced > Security > Encrypt with Password
    In the Password Securtiy - Setting dialog locate "Permission" (about half way down).
    Tick "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings." 
    Configure as desired.

  • Touch Up Text Tool

    Hi,
    I ran OCR on a document and wante to play with the touch up text tool.  The issue is, I don't know how to view how acrobat has interpreted the words, so how can I figure out what it has got wrong or right without converting to word etc first.  I can type touch up text, but its as if I'm using white font and I can only see what I've typed after I put it into word.
    On a separate note, how can I get Acrobat to recognise tables so that it can display these tables in a word export?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Last first. Tables - OCR provides a "best-estimate" character output of what it 'sees' of the discrete image of the text characters.
    It does not interpret format and layout.
    Higher end applications ($$) provide additional functionality that may output a reasonable "best-guess" of layout/format (of which tables are a subset).
    However, the OCR provided with Acrobat only does the character image recognition.
    Acrobat's OCR output is dictated by which of the three modes you use.
    These are Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact), or ClearScan.
    The first two provide a layer of "hidden text".
    Use Examine Document to view this Hidden Text.
    There is no practicable way to edit this hidden text in a PDF (keyword is "practicable").
    However, you could try selecting PDF page content (a page at a time) and, via TouchUp Text tool's context menu go the Properties of the selected text.
    In the Text tab, change selected hidden text to a font installed on the local machine. This may be sufficent to support what you want to do.
    ClearScan output is where you can work "suspects".
    Selecting each PDF page's content in turn, you can use the TouchUp Text Tool to get into the properties of the selected text and change the font to something available on the local machine.
    To edit ClearScan post Suspect cleanup you will need to do this.
    ClearScan output is an Adobe font created specifically for ClearScan.
    Be well...

  • Touch-up Text Tool and Fonts

    We are on Windows 7, Office 2007 and Acrobat 9.  We have recently discovered that when you pdf a Word document, open within Acrobat, then try to use the Touch-Up Text Tool, it changes the kerning/character spacing of the text upon saving.  The only fix we have found for this is within Word, choose Acrobat Preferences, under Advanced Settings, click on Fonts, and REMOVE the fonts from "Never Embed Fonts" pane.  You need to ensure that any font that is in the Word document is removed from this area.  This seems odd to me.  Can anyone enlighten me on this?  See below screen shots of text spacing changes as well as Font Menu.

    It is a good practice to embed fonts if Touch Up Text is a tool you often use.
    Is the person creating the pdf the person who is editing the created pdf? If not, my guess based on the exclusion list in your post is that the users have different versions of the Arial font installed. There are small, but significant, differences in kerning and line height between different Arial versions.

  • TouchUp Object Tool Help

    I'm trying to fill out a job application, and the instructions say to go to Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Object Tool to insert a picture of myself onto the application form.  That's all well and good, except I don't seem to have an Advanced Editing option at all.  It's not even a greyed out option under Tools on my Adobe Reader.  I wasn't sure I had the most current version, so I downloaded Reader 10 to be sure, but it's still not an option under Tools.  It is the free version, not the paid version of Reader.  Is that my problem?  Is there some other way to add my picture without the TouchUp tool?

    Like Bernd mentioned, you need Acrobat to do that.
    The good news is, if you only need it this one time, they offer a fully functional trial version (good for 30 days) on the Adobe website.

  • Scanned pdf - touch up text tool - upside down text

    Have a few pdfs created with Acrobat, scanned with a Canon 7080.
    When opening the pdfs and using the Touch Up text tool to add text, the text is upside down.
    The pdf is oriented correctly.
    It does the same on a few other machines so it seems to be something specific the documents.
    Most other pdf files are fine.
    I have printed to pdf and it fixes the problem (added text is right side up) but I'd like to know how it got messed up to begin with.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    Sounds like you used the searchable text form of OCR. Thus the text is hidden and that is what is happening. To see the text, you would want to use the ClearScan form of OCR. At this point I don't have any good suggestions. A lot depends on what you are trying to do. In any case, trying to do major editing to a PDF with the text touchup tool is not recommended. Not the name of the tool is touchup, not retype. The method you are using will not make any change to the appearance, only to the hidden text.

  • Touchup object tool will not load Photoshop

    I am running Acrobat 7.0 Professional on Mac OS 10.4.11.  When I attempt to use the touchup object tool, Photoshop will not activate.  It is chosen as my touchup object tool in touchup preferences.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat and Creative Suite (my version is CS2).  The problem is unique to a single user on my Macintosh.  When I made a new account, it all works fine.  There must be a preference file or library file, etc. that is corrupted within my user account.  Has anyone encountered/solved this problem?

    I've fixed similar problems by moving the Home> Library folder (and all contents) to the Desktop and renaming it Old Library. Then restart into the same account and OS X will build you a fresh Library folder with default folders and settings. See if the Acrobat/Photoshop problem is gone. If it is, then you can continue working, dragging over essential files from the Old library into the new (like saved workspaces, fonts, etc.) as needed.
    I usually immediately replace the default Keychain with the one in my Old Library folder.
    If anything goes glitchy, you can always replace the (New) Library with your old one and restart.

  • TouchUp Object Tool

    Hi Sir/Mdm,
    I have a pdf file where all texts are created in image which I believe I cannot edit it. I tried to touch up it by using TouchUp Object Tool. When I right clicked to "edit image", my photoshop pops out with error opening the image. Pls help and advice if there are other options erasing the text or cut and paste functions. Really appreciate for any tips and help. Thank you.

    We're responding on AcrobatUsers.com where you cross-posted the same question.

  • Possible to modify blocks of text as defined by Touch Up Text tool?

    I have scanned a document and OCRed it. Using the Touch Up Text Tool, I can approach the text, but the text areas are not as defined by the tool. Is there a way to modify a block as defined? I.e. There is a heading over 2 columns of text. The OCR process defined this as one block of text.

    Thank you very much for your input.
    I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible because I don't want to have to crunch the data manually myself later on, instead just teach someone else how to do it.
    The first search and replace action seems basic enough but regarding the second one I would have to manually assign that paragraph style to the line where the data would break because one can only assign character styles in nested styles, right?
    Also I've heard that ID CS5 automatically creates new pages based on a template when you paste information inside the first page, is that so? That would be great because that way the person wouldn't have to manually create pages and link the contents throughout the document but instead simply open my template and paste the information within the first master page. That's not possible with CS4, is it?
    Thank you very much!

  • Report Writer - Converting from MS Access to Business Objects Tools

    In 2008, my company migrated to SAP.  Security has forced all report writing to use business objects (specifically WEBI); however, WEBI is very very difficult to use.  The data in the universe doesn't always match what SAP has and the tool itself doesn't give the robust manipulation that Access does.  I have tried to tell the company I need access to the universes through MS Access in order to create the reports automatically and allow interactive databases; however they refuse to give me ODBC access (against policy).  Right now I have no alternative but to do daily downloads from SAP in order to feed my robust databases.
    Can anyone suggest what business object tool I should use that will replicate what MS Access does for me?
    Easy report writing with robust design (including charts)
    Easy front-end tool for end users
    One to many relationships needed
    Efficient/Automatic (no need for daily downloads)
    End users can interact with reports (enter data for later analysis)
    What about Crystal Reports?  What are the limitations and can it do what MS Access does for me today?
    Should I be posting this question in another forum?

    Hi Amy,
    CR 2008 is the complimentary version of CR Designer when connecting to BOE 3.1. You can get an update to Service Pack 3 and then possible SP 4:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
    But before you do that check with the BOE admin, SP's should match also but not required.
    They should work together, When you use the Report Wizard you'll see an option to connect to Enterprise and then log in using your User account and then the Repository will have the Universes available. Remember this is all set up by the Administrator so you will need the Admin person to grant you access to the Repository as well as anything else you need access to. Once you create the report then you can Publish them to your folder or a common folder and the Admin can then share your reports.
    WEBI is what the name implies, it's a WEB interface to allow you to create reports using it's Report Wizard. It does take some getting used to and you should have training available, check with your admin group again. Same as CRD, it tool allows you to create reports but is much more flexible than WEBI is in a few ways but once you understand how WEBI works it has some very powerful tools also.
    CR allows you to access any database field you have permission to see, it fully supports database permissions. So if you can't see them again you have to ask your DBA to grant you permissions. You can then link tables including your late entry table if it is separate or simply hitting the refresh button in the viewer will requery the DB for new rows of data. All depends on how it's set up.
    As for security, this is a decision your company has made. SAP is just a tool that allows you to be secure. With today's security threats and other privacy laws and hackers abilities to get to and cause personal harm to those affected it's just the way things are these days. Take this up with your Management, it's not something we can decide for you and certainly can't provide you with ways to circumvent the security.....
    There is training available for both WEBI and CR as well as third party Help for books available. Downloading the sample reports is a great place to start, you can switch between Design and preview mode and see what happens when you make changes....
    Thanks again
    Don
