Continuous Text Edits in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X Pro from version 9 and I'm running into an issue relating to commenting an editing a PDF. In version 9, you could simply select the "Text Edits" button and make continuous edits in a PDF (document created in InDesign) and then send those back. Now with version X, I can't seem to find a way to make continuous edits without having to select the tool over and over again for each individual edit. The "Replace (Ins)" icon works, but again, it takes twice as long. You have to now select the text and then select the "Replace (Ins)" icon and then type your change and then start all over again. Is there a way to enable text editing without having to go back and select the icon over and over again which reduces efficiency considerably?
Thanks so much for your help!

Or, if I knew how to change defaults for add text box, that would wok just as well. Thanks
for any help!

    You can choose multiple files, or a single folder. If you choose a folder,
    though, all of the files in all of its sub-folders will be processed as

  • 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.

  • In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.0 - Flatten file so it is not editable even by Acrobat

    In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.0 I use the Flatten option under Preflight but when I go back into the document using Acrobat and use Edit Text & Images, I am able to edit and delete items in the document. I also tried Flatten Preview -> Apply but this didn't work either. I finally tried to print the document as a pdf but the same thing happens. If a document is flattened, it should not be editable by any software but it seems that if someone has Acrobat, they will be able to edit the pdf I send them. Can you please tell me how I can truly flatten a pdf file so that it is not editable by at all?

    " If a document is flattened, it should not be editable by any software " who as claimed this, and where? Sounds like twaddle.

  • Keeping redline text "red" when Scanning file in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

    The document is a word document that has several "red" color text and "red" color strikethrough words to show that a particular word is being edited/deleted.  The problem/question I have is that the "red" color in the document, when scanned, does not come out "red?"  The color is dark blue/black?  However, if there are other colors in the word document, these colors come out OK?  Not sure why "only" red strikethroughs or text "colored" red in same document does not come out in "red?"  The following info is sent:  I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro; the reader is Adobe Reader X; and the print/scanner is HP OfficeJet Pro 8600.  Any answers/help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Dear user,
    You are getting such output because you have checked ON the setting 'Print to file' in one of your previous prints. For resolving this issue, kindly uncheck option 'Print to file' present in bottom left corner of print dialog and then click on 'Print' (See attached image for reference).
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks

  • Help! adobe acrobat X pro. Cannot edit a pdf.

    help! I have adobe acrobat X pro. Cannot edit a pdf. watched videos, followed directions, nothing. Tried tools, edit document text, recognize text, then tried even to change font, nothing.

    What are you actually trying to do? Don't forget that Acrobat is not really an editor, but provides some tools to allow minor edits. If the file has security set, you may no be able to do anything.

  • How to edit email preferences in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    I have adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    I would like to edit my email preferences so that when I create an email with the PDF as an attachment the name of the file will automatically also be the subject line of the email.
    according to the help instructions, I should find this by: " open the Preferences dialog box, and under Categories, select Email Accounts."
    In my version, "Email Accounts" does not appear in the categories list.
    Where do I go to edit email preferences?

    thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
    Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

  • How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
    So this what I'm trying to do:
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    (     )   |                  |
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    I have a radio button: (     )
    and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
    The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
    Thanks in advance guys

    Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
    I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
    Thanks,

  • In adobe Acrobat X pro, in edit--preferences-identity, it introduces my name which then is on all documents. I want my name to be removed. What do I have to do?

    In adobe Acrobat X pro, in edit--preferences-identity, it introduces my name which then is on all documents. I want my name to be removed. What do I have to do?

    Is this in the signature appearance? If so you can customize signature appearance so that it contains only items that you want. In Acrobat X you do that in Edit->Preferences->Security, "New" in the "Appearances" section.

  • Why can't I search/find text I added in a PDF with the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X?

    If I use the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X to modify a text, the program can't find the added/changed text. But when I just delete letters/words in the text, the rest/changed words can be found. Is that a known problem? Is there any fix or workaround?

    Fantastic. There is all sorts of nonsense out there on how to fix this problem, but your simple suggestion works perfectly. Thanks!

    How do I replace numbers with text in tax return pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro? The tax return was created using CCH software. Thanks for your review.

    Thanks Bill for your quick reply. CCH software is one of the major
    suppliers of tax return software. I found an internal source that helped me
    make the changes from numbers to text i.e. "$123,456" to "See Schedule O".
    I am not sure if I am working in form or final text. Thanks again! Kelly
