Editable Text

I need to create PDFs with text content editable by others.  The text needs to conform to styling created in the Photoshop document. For example, other users need to be able to change the heading on a page, but retain font color and size.  How to I export from Photoshop to allow this?  Or do I need to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and save it with different settings?

Sounds like you need to save the Photoshop PDF with "Retain Editing". Collect all fonts being used and send those along with the PDF. The next user activates the fonts, opens the PDF in Photoshop and makes text edits.
Be aware that if the fonts have faux styles applied they will not output as vector.
The Photoshop PDF format can become wrought with complications because the file result is a dual file. If you have questions please ask.

  • How do you edit text that is in a text box?

    How do you edit text that is in a text box?  I just want to change the font color of the text.  Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
       Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
       Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
    This is what the help files recommend

    When I try the above solution I don't have a  "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
    Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

    Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
    If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
    It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.

  • Add or Edit Text Dialog Box Disappeared

    I am attempting to add text to my pdf using the add or edit text tool in Acrobat Pro X. However, the dialog box that allows me to change fonts, size, color, etc. has disappeared. Does anyone know how to make the dialog box come back?

    Hi,
    This is a new problem. It started about 2 days before I posted the question. I have not updated my Acrobat recently and I was previously able to use the dialog box with no problem. I have tried in several different documents and the dialog box is not showing up.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Remotely editing text files in Windows WinRM/PSExec/Powershell/cmd

    Hi!
    How can I remotely edit a text file in Windows?
    I am running and administering a number of Windows 7 workstations and Windows Server 2012 machines. I would like to be able to remotely edit text files on any of these machines. I can connect to any of these machines via psexec or powershell remoting. I
    can also connect via rdp, but for the workstations I would rather not kick the user off unless I absolutely have to.
    For example, we manage state configuration using
    Salt. Local configuration files are stored in C:/salt/conf. I would like to be able to edit these config files on the fly.
    This question on Stack Overflow covers the same topic, but none of the answers are particularly satisfying. Some of the possible solutions
    are:
    Remote Desktop: as I say, I would rather not have to kick a user off their workstation
    Edit a file over a UNC path: this only works for files on a share, and setting up arbitrary shares for quick edits seems like a bad idea.
    Install some manner of ftp or ssh server on all the target computers. This would certainly work, but it is it necessary with WinRM already active? I feel like installing and configuring extra software across all the machines in my organisation would be
    a last resort.
    Edit with a command line editor (e.g. vim, emacs) over a remote powershell session. This doesn't work. I don't understand the technical details, but a powershell remote session isn't interactive in the same way that ssh connections are.
    Edit using powershell's -replace operator, out-file and add-content cmdlets. This works, but is hardly the same as a fully featured text editor.
    Retrieve content from the remote, edit locally, and post back to the remote. This works, and is arguably the best solution I've found. Code sample from SO:
    PS C:\Users\Meredith> Invoke-Command -Session $ps -ScriptBlock {get-content c:/inetpub/myapp/web.config} > web.config
    edit web config
    PS C:\Users\Meredith> get-content web.config | Invoke-Command -Session $ps -ScriptBlock {set-content c:/inetpub/myapp/web.config}
    The last two options are the workflow that I've been using for now. Regex replacement for very simple changes, and copying to local and editing there for more complicated ones. Neither is ideal, but they work. It just feels incredibly old fashioned.
    I'm considering writing a plugin to my editor of choice (vim) to perform the remote fetch and save, to make my workflow a little bit smoother. Before I try that, I just want to know if there's anything that I've missed, or misunderstood.
    Cheers

    What is the "redirector"?
    I posted the same question to Stack Overflow, and was told about administrative shares. I wasn't aware of this, and it's exactly what I wanted. I can open the filetree of a remote machine with the path \\machinename\c$\. Perfectly simple, now that I know
    the answer.

  • Editing Text in Acrobat Pro DC

    I've followed all the instructions for editing text but when I go to select a text box the entire area is selected and the only choice is to move objects on the page (flip, left/right, etc).   I'm unable to click on the blue box to select that specific text box I need to adjust. There is no option for me to select Tools to follow the other help instructions  "If a bounding box doesn’t appear, choose Tools > Recognize Text > In This File."
    I'm trying to work on a PDF that someone else created (who is on vacation, lucky) and of course the client needs it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I don't have Acrobat DC here right now, so I can't give you step-by-step instructions for text recognition.
    But have a look at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/how-to/edit-scanned-pdf-files.html?set=acrobat--fundamenta ls--edit-pdf

  • How do I leave editable text and images in a PDF?

    I recently bought a flyer template and it came as an editable PDF.  Here is one of the templates http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
    Every field, both text and graphic object, is fully editable in the free Adobe reader.  I have Acrobat X and have tried all the methods of producing something like this but nothing has worked.  I wish to produce not just one page template PDFs that can be edited like the one above, but I also have a 20+ page magazine, which currently is distributed in PDF form and I wanted certain image and text fields within the magazine to be customisable too. 
    I design the magazine using InDesign and the exported pages are composed of 1 large background image with text fields laid over the top.  I have tried exporting it as an interactive PDF, ticking the layers option for Acrobat, but when I try to create an editable form (Tools>Forms>Create>Open file) it does not recognise any of the text fields at all.
    Can someone please help me before I slam my head repeatedly in a door?  I have been searching for a solution for so long and I'm getting rather frustrated.
    Thank you in advance
    Wendy-G

    Thanks for the replies I've had so far, but I really need some detailed help to sort this.
    I want to be able to create a PDF that has editable text and editable graphics over a background image, that can be edited in the free Adobe Reader, as per this item - http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
    I know this was designed in LiveCycle and I have LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but LiveCycle is new to me.  I am a quick learner (I use Photoshop, InDesign, etc) and need help in getting started.
    I am willing to work with someone to help get this sorted but it is urgent that I get to grips with this.
    Thanks so much for helping

  • How do I edit text in a fill-in form?

    How do I edit text in a fill-in form?  I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.8 in Mac OSX.  The document was created in Word, saved as a pdf, opened in Acrobat, and form fields added.  Now I need to change some of the text on the original form (mostly just dates).  Ideally, I wish there were a way to edit the forms overall - add or delete lines, edit text, etc.  I've done this before, but I always seem to need to go back to Word, edit the original document, and then re-create the form fields... it takes me a huge amount of time, making sure each field is formatted correctly (font, size, wrapping, text resizing, etc) so it looks ok when the user enters their data and prints it.  Please, tell me there is a better way!
    If the solution is upgrading to a higher version of Acrobat, I'm listening... but ideally I can get this batch done in the software I have, then worry about learning the newest version.

    Fonts are Licensed asset's subject to single user use. They are not intended to be exchanged, redistributed, etc.
    As part of the PDF standard they included in a document so that the document can be viewed reliably without the font be installed on the viewing station.
    To edit you must have the font installed on your computer. The ability for second parties to use the font would violate font licenses.

  • How can I edit text in a tagged PDF?

    I have created an accessible test form in Acrobat Pro X.  Now that it has all been tagged and reading order touched up, the client wants to change the text.  Is there any way to edit text at this point or do I have to create an entirely new tagged accessible form (very time consuming)?
    I have tried:
    TouchUp Reading order - when I select the block of text, nothing lights up on the TouchUp window
    Form > Edit Document Text - I can place a cursor but it won't do anything.
    Thank you for any help!

    For Tagged PDF the replace page approach ought to be avoided.
    The behavior seen when replace page is used for an existing page having annotations is not present.
    Insert of a tagged PDF into another PDF can be a problem as well. The "incoming" structure tree is always placed at the end of the existing structure tree.
    Manually remediating this can become nasty very quickly.
    Using the Touchup / Edit text tool on a 'good' tagged PDF ought to be avoided as well.
    Be well...

  • My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

    I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
    My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
    In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus."  As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
    Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

    There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues? 
    I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
    Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
    All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

  • Is there a way to edit text in a smart object brought in from illustrator?

    Is there a way to edit text in a smart object brought in from illustrator? Many thanks for the help!
    And can anyone recommend learning resources for someone (me) who is an AI user for a decade who needs to work in PS for web mockups? Something other than a basic PS tutorial. Something geared towards that specific task. I'm not a PS beginner - but have mostly used it for photo correction until now.
    Truly -- thanks! BTW - I'm in the CS 6 Suite and CC will not be available to me.

    OMG! When I went back into the ai file and made sure that the text was on it's own layer (which I had not originally done) I could indeed edit the text in the file when exported to ps! This is a perfect solution for this situation. As far as the person I'm working with  - who fears ai more than anything - I can work in ai - which in many ways is so much less cumbersome than ps - and just export - clicking "preserve" layers & text editing! I hope this helps someone else! Sisham - many thanks for your help!

  • Text continues moving horizontally rather than starting a new line in editable text field

    I am trying to make a feed backbox for visitors on my website. I have made the editable text field and scroll bar and set all of my preferences, but when the typing reaches the border on the right of the text field it just continues to type further horizontaly. I can start a new line by pressing enter but I would like it to start a new line on its own when it reaches the boundary. Any help is appreciated.

    assign your textfield's wordWrap property to true.

  • I have upgraded to Pages 5.0.1 and now I cannot print or pass along "comments" in the text of a document. I previously was able to convert the Pages document, with comments, to a "Word" document so that others could view the edited text. How do I do that?

    I have upgraded to Pages 5.0.1 and now I cannot print or pass along "comments" in the text of a document. I previously was able to convert the Pages document, with comments, to a "Word" document so that others could view the edited text. How do I do that?

    When you installed Pages v5, it automatically moved the older Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09 folder. If you want normal comment interoperability, you are advised to resume using the older version of Pages. Newer, is certainly not better with Pages v5.

  • How can I edit text labels in a numeric display?

    I have this numeric display, type U16, that displays specific messages, for example 'PASS' when the input is 1. I need to add another message.
    I added a placeholder, for input = 3 (verified by the digital display) for the new message by rightclicking/'Add After' but I'm not able to add the new message. I can't edit the text (can't select it) for the existing messages either so I know I'm on the wrong track.
    The G programming reference for LV 5.1 (page 9-17) says to use the labeling tool so I tried the 'Edit Text' tool on the tools palette. Is there another labeling tool? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Jeff,
    It sounds to me as if your U16 ring control is, or is linked to, a typdef (Type Definition), which LabVIEW programmers can employ to impose sharp constraints on the way a control looks or behaves. This would explain why you can't edit the text items, or add one. The bit about adding an item for '3' is confusing, but maybe it has to do with the ring being set to allow undefined values.
    I can't recall how to manage these things under LabVIEW 5.1, but in 7.x, I would right-click on the control and see if "Open Type Def" was one of my options; if so, this diagnosis is correct, and you can make your changes only be editing the actual type def. The changes would then automatically be applied to any other control or indicator that is linked to the same type def, which is a very powerful programming technique.
    Your best move might be to read up on Type Definitions in your LabVIEW User Manual, or in Application Note 159, and then proceed.
    Hope this helps,
    John

  • How can I edit text tabs in Photoshop...?

    how can I edit text tabs in Photoshop like in Illustrator that I can choose to view the tab rulers and edit the alignment on the tabs?
    is it possible? otherwise I can't understand why I can use the tabs at all...
    thanks!

    No, tab-formatted text is not editable in the manner you desire. As for your question - tab is just a character like any other. You are simply taking a given kind of implementation for granted, nothing more, but that must not necessarily be the case for all programs. An evil programmer just could assign the tab key to forward delete or any other fancy function just as he could make your space key draw funky symbols from a different Unicode range, if you get my meaning... so simply take it the way it is. If editable formatting is high on your wishlist:

  • Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

    Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
    I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now.  I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf.  At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
    This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
    I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
    So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
    Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software?  If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
    Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
    Any experience with this?  Should I leave well enough alone?  Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
    Thanks
    Steve

    The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
    I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
    If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
    Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 18.0.1 on my Mac Pro, I often can't edit text, instead getting dreaded 'chirping'.

    This is the wierdest thing - when I click in a text box the first time, it usually works. As long as I only use arrows to move text, it seems OK. When I try to click in a text field to edit text, or try to highlight text, both inside and outside text field, I get the dreaded chirping sound and can't edit, copy etc. After clicking a few times on the page outside the text field, I can again access and edit the text field. Does anyone else have this problem? It only happens in Firefox and only in the latest upgrade. I don't have this problem with Safari or Google Chrome.

    Hi,
    I'm encountering exactly the same issue as described by redcat01.
    Hope someone could help :-)
    Thanks in advance, and best regards.
