Acrobat XI Pro "add text comment" not working

In Acrobat, my "Add Text Comment" comment feature no longer works. I am using Acrobat XI Pro on Win7.
The property "Locked" vs Make Property Default fix on these forums did not work for me.
When I click on a document to add a text comment,
1. Acrobat creates a small square (uneditable)
2. Acrobat adds a comment to the comments list
I am unable to type any text, nor edit the box, nor change the box's size, nor see the properties.
Any thoughts are appreciated as to how to fix this feature.
Michael

Hi cpa-michael,
If this issue appears in any PDF that you try to add comments to, please repair the Acrobat installation by choosing Help > Repair Acrobat Installation.
If the issue appears only in one PDF file, that PDF may be damaged and you can try Saving As to repair the document, or you can try to "refry" the PDF by printing to PDF from within Acrobat.
Best,
Sara

How is an OCR executed in Acrobat X Pro? Recognize does not work. Third Party OCR works great!

How is an OCR executed in Acrobat X Pro? Recognize text does not work. Third Party OCR works great!

How was the pdf created. When I want to get the best results I scan to TIFF at 300 dpi and then import the TIFF file into Acrobat.
What scan resolution and format for the scan was used?

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Is Installed but Not Working

I installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro about a year ago. It has never worked, and I'm just now getting around to trying to fix it. When I try to open a PDF document with the program, it brings up a window that asks if I'll allow the program to make changes to my computer. I click "yes," and the window goes away, but then absolutely nothing happens, the document never opens, and I have to open it with Adobe Reader instead.
I'd like to be able to use the program that I paid for.
What can I do?
Thanks.

you should open the directory where adobe x pro was installed. find Acrobat.exe, right click it>click "run as administrator".
if that fails, fun the acrobat cleaner: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
restart your computer
reinstall acrobat x pro.

How do I change the font size and color in a text box in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (ctrl e does not work)?

I need to mark up scanned pdf documents with text box comments. I can insert the text box and type text but I cannot change the font or color. When I press Crtl E, no tool bar appears in the menu bar. What does appear in the menu bar is "No current selection". Please advise.

I am already doing that: creating the text box, typing the text, selecting the text i.e. highlighting the text. This morning, for a scant minute, the properties tool bar appeared and I was able to refine the text in a text box. Then it disappeared never to be activated again this morning.
I work half of my weekly hours at this client office and I only have this problem on their pc and adobe software (version 9 pro). When I am home, my laptop and the adobe software (version 10 pro) is fine. I can create the text boxes and refine the format at will with no issues. Could it be a software version and/or update issue? Thanks for any assistance.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text not smooth.

I use tablet pc for education in university and I try Adobe Acrobat X Pro writing text it not smooth text can you have add-in pen input support or support pen writing (smooth)for tablet pc?

If you want to annotate the PDF directly on a tablet, use PDF Annotator. The annotation capabilities of Acrobat are poor. You also have to select the erase tool to erase, rather than just turn the pen over. PDF Annotator works the way you would expect annotation to work with a pen. It is also useful if you grade PDFs on the tablet. The only thing I find annoying with Annotator is that the paging is a bit clunky. You should be able to find an educational price for the package, or possibly your school has it under license. There is a 30-day trial if you would like to try it. Most folks here would not dream of annotating with Acrobat for the same reasons you have found.

Acrobat Pro (V11.0.07) not working as it should

Acrobat Pro (V11.0.07) not working as it should (various aspects) - receive an error 2503/2502 when attempting to run a repair

Hi ferdinando,
Was Acrobat working fine for you before?
Which OS are you using?
Try repairing Acrobat from the Control panel> Programs and check.
Are you getting the error: "Error 2503 called RunScript when not marked in progress"
This is apparently a Windows issue (see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/error-2503 -called-runscript-when-not-marked-in/76e72d98-cbef-432f-8f6f-40417d139bc1

TouchUp Text Tool not working?

I have Max OS X 10.4, Acrobat 8.1.2 and cannot get the TouchUp Text Tool to work? Can select text and delete/copy/paste etc but cannot add/change/modify any text from the keyboard? All keyboard text keys not working or changing data?
Was using Acrobat 7 and it worked great, however this version is just not cooperating.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Ron

I talked to a very helpful person at Adobe Acrobat Tech support yesterday (Tony) and I *think* I have the problem resolved. [BTW, I don't see any definite mentions to this here: during this problem I was able to delete (using either of the delete keys) text and I was able to hit 'return' to get to a new line - while using the touch-up text tool. Also, I was able to create a new blank document and type in next fine too.]
After troubleshooting all the possible causes with Tech support (including manually trashing all the /user/library/preferences/acrobat (folder) and all the com.adobe.acrobat ..(8) preferences in the /user/library/preferences folder - and after reinstalling Acrobat 8 - the issue still wasn't fixed. I called back Tech Support and got the same person (Tony) and with him still on phone, I created a new user on my Mac -- recreated the text touch-up tool problem and Acrobat 8 worked just like it was supposed to do. -- so ... the problem was in my 'old' user account & probably a font problem.
Tony the Tech transfered me over to a Font Tech at Adobe (who was a rude, nasty s-o-b who barely spent 2 minutes with the problem, but that's IMHO) who told me the only resolution, since in his opinion I had a corrupted User account, was to trash my current User account on my system and start fresh -- no alternative! Since that wasn't acceptable to me, and since the Font Tech could or would not give me a straight answer about transferring fonts from my User/Library/Fonts to the computer (root, not system) /Library/Fonts and working on Acrobat that way .... or fixing any font problems in my current /user/fonts -- ..... I hung up the phone and resolved to track this down myself (with the help that was already given to me by Tony the Acrobat Tech.
The first thing I tried this morning was to see if the Acrobat 8 text touch-up 'bug' was still happening -- and it was.
So I spent the rest of this morning validating fonts and deleting duplicates -- (you know how those nasty duplicate fonts just appear even though you think you have them all removed a month or so ago). I also moved all my Adobe otf fonts over to my /Library/Fonts and deleted those same fonts from my /User/Library/Fonts.
I just fired up Acrobat 8 and tried the text touch-up tool --- and it works fine! No problem at all.
Final answer (at least for me) is --> validate all your fonts. I used Font Book (Mac OS) to do this. Delete any major errors on fonts you can live without. Some of the warnings you get (on the critical errors and caution warning both are confusing: 'name' table warning, for example. I did find an Apple Developer document that explains (to a small degree) what these mean: http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/index.html
Definitely delete every duplicate font you find. I kept some non-duplicated fonts with minor warnings, but these fonts wouldn't be used in Acrobat anyway.
I don't know if moving the Adobe otf fonts to my root /Library/Fonts helped or not since I didn't do a test of this prior to any validation on my user/font file. It was just one step in my bug fix.
Let me know if this works for you all too.

I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

Add Row Button Not Working

I've read the threads and done numerous searches. Not sure why the add row button isn't working, other buttons work.
Here's what I've found and done.
Print button subform - positioned (have tried flowed, too) allow page breaks
Table: body rows vary   -    Insert wrap in subform - subform flowed - allow page breaks
     row 1 binding - repeat row for each data item - min 1, max 25 (why won't it keep an initial count when I try putting in 1 or 0?)
Form properties - preview in dynamic PDF, interactive   -   PDF render format dynamic xml, run in 9.0 or later (to remove errors)
Insert Row Button in Subform Row 1 Cell 1 (not counting header row) on click, JavaScript run at client tried table.row1.instancemanager.addinstance(1);   also tried full path
saved as dynamic pdf
My hierarchy looks like:
form1   [autofit]
     master pages
          page 1
               untitled content area
     printbuttonSubForm [flowed, top to bottom, allow page breaks]
          untitled subform [flowed, top to bottom, allow page breaks]
               printbutton1
          tablesf    [flowed, top to bottom, allow page breaks]
               table1    [allow page breaks]
                    headerRow
                         cell1
                         cell2 etc
                    Row1   [allow page breaks, repeat row for each data item, min 1, max 25 (why won't it keep an initial count when I try putting in 1 or 0?)]
                         subform   [allow page breaks, repeat row for each data item, min 1, max 25
                                        (why won't it keep an initial count when I try putting in 1 or 0?)]
                              button1    table1.row1.subform1.instanceManager.addinstance(1);
                         cell2, etc
     Referenced objects
Questions:
I click the Add Row button, but nothing happens, why? The print button works.
Found a reference to def instances of same row, what does that mean?
Is my hierarchy correct?
How to set Form1 to flow? Object says mixed objects with no options
Many thanks for your assistance! Leslie

Hi Leslie,
There could be a few things.
First check that the form is saved as Dynamic XML in the save as dialog. If it is saved as Static the add instance will not work.
Make sure that the object you are targetting is set to repeat in the Object > Binding tab
Check your syntax in the script editor (button above the editor). Some of your post is not camel case. For example addInstance and instanceManager. Note the capital letter for the second word.
If you could share your form it would be easier to track down what the problem is. You can use Acrobat.com or YouSendIt.com or some other file sharing site. Just remember to post the published URL.
Good luck,
Niall

After installing acrobat my Microsoft office package does not work properly, word will not open and in my email i can't select anything with the mouse

After installing acrobat my Microsoft office package does not work properly, word will not open and when I want to write an email in my outlook email i can't select anything with the mouse. so copy past en delete are not an option.@

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

TEXT-INDENT NOT WORKING

Hi!
Please see the below CSS code, why isn't the text-indent not
working? everything else is?
a.quick_link_buttons:link {
color : #004489;
font-family : Myriad, Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size : 12px;
text-indent : 10px;
line-height : 20px;
text-decoration : none;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
a.quick_link_buttons:hover {
color : #004489;
font-family : Myriad, Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size : 12px;
text-indent : 10px;
line-height : 20px;
text-decoration : underline;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
Many Thanks!

You don't need to respecify styles that will inherit or
default styles. You
could achieve the same styles with the following -
a.quick_link_buttons {
color : #004489;
font-family : Myriad, Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size : 12px;
text-indent : 10px;
line-height : 20px;
text-decoration : none;
a.quick_link_buttons:hover {
text-decoration : underline;
As for why the indent isn't working, try 'padding-left:10px;'
instead, when
applied to the inline element. Or, you can have a rule that
will apply to
the container for these links, e.g.,
<div style="text-indent:10px;">
<a class="quick_link_buttons">whatever</a>
</div>
