Select and edit text Adobe Reader 8.1.2 & Mac OS10.5

How does one select and edit text in a PDF Adobe Read document with Mac OS 10.5? Step by step directions would be appreciated.

Wasn't sure since this isn't the Reader forum.
No. Can't do that then.

How do I add text boxes that people can edit font type, size, and color in Adobe Reader

How do I add text boxes that people can edit font type, size, and color in Adobe Reader? I am using Acrobat Pro XI.

It is possible. Add your text fields and in their Properties set them to have Rich Text Contents (under Options). This will allow the users to specify all kinds of formatting settings for those fields (by pressing Ctrl+E and using the Properties bar).

Create text editable PDF for client to edit in Adobe Reader

I would like to create a PDF from either Illustrator or InDesign so that my client can edit just the text in the document using Adobe Reader as necessary (for flyers and business cards etc). I want to set the file up in Illustrator or InDesign so all text is laid out properly where I have the proper tools to do so, rather than using the Acrobat form tool and guessing measurement/layout etc. I have tried exporting to PDF from both programs and then using Acrobat Pro's form feature but it won't recognise any of the fields. I am using CS4 and Acrobat Pro 9 and am unsure if my software is too old to complete these tasks or if I am doing it incorrectly. I have seen it done in plenty of places so I know it is possible, I'm just not sure how.
Here are some links showing examples of what I am trying to do:
Using an e.m.papers Wedding Invitation Template.mp4 - YouTube
How to use an e.m.papers printable RSVP template.mp4 - YouTube
So, basically any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated:
How do I make text editable in Adobe Reader (from an Illustrator or InDesign file)?
How can I easily put the same design onto the same page (eg 8 business cards on an A4 page with crop marks) multiple times so that if I need to change the design slightly, it will change the design on all of them?
How can I make the PDF like it is in the YouTube videos, so that when you edit one "product/design", it will edit all on the page?
Or, how can I create a file of multiple business cards on the one page where they can have a different employees details on each card?
This is my first time using this forum so if you require any further information, please let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current edition of Adobe Reader, including the patch. When I open a PDF file, the screen is first grey, then viewable, but the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" comes up. How do I remedy this?

RR,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.

Use Acrobat Professional to make text editable in Adobe Reader

Hello,
I have a .pdf document that needs to be edited.
There are certain fields in the .pdf that needs to be editable in Adobe Reader.
For example; we need information from other companies in that .pdf.
It says "[company name]", can I make it in a certain way with Acrobat professional so that when our client clicks in that field it that he can type there.
Is this possible with Acrobat Professional?
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply! It worked!
One more question (please also check the attached picture for this question): Can I make it in a way that the text moves when I type something longer then the box?
Thanks!

Indesign to PDF, edit text in Reader

I created a 37pg glossary for a client in InDesign CS6. I've been told now that they want the PDF to be editable in adobe reader so that other people reading the document can change as they see fit. I know how to do it for Acrobat but I can't figure it out for Reader. Help!

In acrobat pro you can go to Tools-->Content-->edit document text and change most of the text. The parts that need to be.
The file is a glossary for a jail to use, so it's a list of spanish words and their english translations. They want it to be editable so that if a teacher needs to change the spelling of words, add words, or delte words they can do that. Since most people don't have acrobat pro, the client needs it for Reader.

Column selection and editing

Is there any way to do text column selection and editing with JDeveloper? Why is column selection so often overlooked in editors such as JDeveloper and Eclipse while editors I've used years ago (Brief, UltraEdit, MultiEdit, etc) had great support for column editing?

Editing text. Not HTML, not db columns. The ability to highlight and mark a rectangular section of text. Also known as block editing. The ability to highlight a vectical column as opposed to a horizontal column.

Entering Text Adobe Reader

Help! I made a resume through Adobe Reader and I need to edit the text! No just add text but delete and the retype different text .

You don't need to reinstall Preview. You need to remove the leftover crud and cruft that Adobe Reader dropped on your system. Google for "remove Adobe Reader OS X"

"Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader

Hi all,
Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended has a feature to enable measurements and comments in a file when that file is then subsequently opened in Reader.
It is in Acrobat Pro Extended under Comments -> Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader
My question is, if I convert large batches of files to PDF, how can I enable measurements and comments for Adobe Reader without opening each file and selecting that option from Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended?
Thanks for any info,
Jesse Perry

Try the Batch Process feature in Acrobat Pro Extended. You'll still have to do it after the files are converted, but it may keep you from having to set that feature one PDF at a time. Go to Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing...
This 'might' be able to do what you need.

How to select and search text in this document?

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/manageability/database/pdf/ow05/PS_S003_274003_1 06-1_FIN_v2.pdf
is a document I can read but cannot copy text from. I can't search for any text in it either. Is there a way to convert it to a PDF file I can select and search text in? What did the author do to make it "encrypted"? Thanks.
Yong Huang

I notice Google can convert it to plain text:
http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:e4rkLs8pPekJ:www.oracle.com/technology/products/manage ability/database/pdf/ow05/PS_S003_274003_106-1_FIN_v2.pdf+understanding+shared+pool&cd=1&h l=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
(If that long URL doesn't work, just search for "understanding shared pool" and click "View as HTML".)
For now I'll use that. Thanks everyone.
Also, my local desktop search program Copernic can also index keywords in the article.

Cant select and delete text messages

Since the latest ios7 update i can no longer select and delete text messages. I have to delete the entire conversation. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?

Tap and hold on a text within a conversation. Tap "More" in the pop up menu. Select the messages you want to delete by tapping in the little circles at the left of the messages. Tap the trash can in the lower left of the screen.
Best of luck.

I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

Yes.
If you double click on a PDF and your system uses 8 to open it, you may have to repair (Help>Repair... in Reader) the 9 installation or you could change your file associations to use 9 to open PDF files.
If 9 opens them already, just remove 8 and you're good to go.

Batch file enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader

I have over 18000 GeoPDFs created and want to enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader. Can anyone step me through how to set this up in Adobe LiveCycle?

To enable the Commenting in Adobe Reader you can either use Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extentions.
But, in Acrobat (even in Acrobat X) you cannot enable those Usage Rights via batch.
This means you will have to do this for each file separately.
Attention: The commenting will only be enabled for static forms (PDF-forms), not for dynamic forms (XFA-forms)!
Possible the LiveCycle Reader Extentions can do that, but this product is very, very expensive and I don't have it.
