Why can't I delete or edit my checkboxes in acrobat 8?

Why can't I delete my checkboxes in Adobe acrobat?? I have created and deleted hundreds of checkboxes all with different functions. I have never run into this problem. I can't edit, move, or delete a checkbox. Nothing happens when I hover over it. They work just fine when you check them, you just can't edit them. Help!

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I literally just used that to create my form. It's very basic. No - the form is not secured. And I have no idea what enabling a form for extended rights.
It's as simple as this. I have created a form out of a blank adobe acrobat page. I just started a new document. I have created around 200 checkboxes. All of which worked up until yesterday. They still check and uncheck. I just can't edit them. When I hover my mouse over the checkbox, it doesn't light up red anymore (which means you're hovering over an editable form) it is just the cross; the same one you use to create a checkbox.
I'm using no special program. Simply Adobe Acrobat 8 professional

  • Why Can't I Delete or Edit a Calendar Appointment on My iPhone?

    Why are my only choices "Accept" "Maybe" "Decline" for all calendar appointments pushed in from my Outlook calendar? I only have the choice to "Edit" calendar appointments when I create the calendar appointment on my iPhone itself. For all pushed in calendar appoinments, I can only "Decline" the appointment and then recreate it on my iPhone to be able to change it. This is annoying because I don't want to have to go through my calendar and "Accept" or "Decline" all my appointments, especially since this emails me that I have accepted or declined!

    Wienderful,
    Make sure your email address on the iPhone and the Exchange server are the same. This article explains more:

  • Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
    However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
    Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working.

  • Why Can't I Delete Two (daily) History Folders?

    As we all know, in Safari, clicking on History/Show History reveals a list of websites visited with the most recent web visits inside the Last Visited Today folder, beneath which is a historical list of daily folders delineated by day and date. It's generally very easy to manually delete an entire daily history folder, or, click on that history folder and selectively delete any history events inside it.
    That said, I have a couple of older daily history folders, that I've been trying to delete and they're impossible to delete. Curiously, they're both from the Saturday occurring on the weekend of October 18th/19th of both 2013 and now 2014 as seen below. I was able to delete all the history events inside the folders, but I can't delete the folders themselves.
    Why can't I delete these folders and more importantly, how do I delete them?
    I'm running Safari 6.1.6 on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5
    Thanks for any help!

    You saw my pre edited post I suppose?
    But Yes, I agree about the bookmarks. You are right about this I'm sure. I didn't even think about bookmarks.You have to delete bookmarks in order to competely clear all of that out. I have tons of bookmarks in Safari and unless I delete the bookmarks, even if I clear the history, those websites will pop up in the window under the URL field because they are still in the bookmarks.
    Deleting the history just deletes the chronological listing of the sites that you have visited over a period of time. Bookmarks are something totally different altogether.
    But to me - the whole point of having bookmarks is so that you can easily navigate back to this sites.

  • Why can't I delete pictures off of camera roll. I also can't send a picture to a friends phone. One last question.......why do pictures freeze up on the screen and I have to hit the power button to go back to home screen. Thanks for any help.

    Why can't I delete pictures off of camera roll?  I also can't send Pictures to someone else's phone. My picture seems to freeze up and I can't do anything, particularly delete the picture. I'm new to iPhone so I'm really just learning how this iphone thing works :)

    Did you recently start using iCloud to backup your photos?
    Wife had the same problem today.  Remembering that I had recently signed her up for more space on iCloud and started backing up her photos, I decided to roll the dice and turn that off.  Plug phone back into computer and *boom* I now have the option to delete.  Now I just have to figure out how I can do both = \

  • Why can't I do cumulative edits, like in iPhoto 6?

    I've just bought a new iMac (Core i5) running the latest iPhoto (9). It has some useful improvements over iPhoto 6 which was the previous version I used, but one thing has gone - I can't do cumulative edits any more.
    In v6, I could sharpen a soft picture 100% then navigate away so iPhoto saved my edit. Then I could go back into that photograph, click Edit again, and all the sliders would be reset to their default zero settings. I could then add more sharpening to the picture, get iPhoto to save it, return if necessary, sharpen more, and so on. This was a godsend where an edit needed to applied more than once.
    Now, I can't do that any more. When iPhoto saves my edit and I go back into that photo, the sliders are where I left them!!!! I can't ever apply more than 100% sharpening to a picture. That *****, really bad.
    Why did they change that? It seems so unnecessary. The Revert to Original was always there, and it still is - so why can't I apply cumulative edits now?

    Keith Barkley wrote:
    But this allows you to unsharpen without having to go back to scratch.
    It is not a question of treating you like a grownup, it is a question of preventing JPEG artifacts.  In the old way, you had to continually re-JPEG the image, losing quality and detail with each editing pass.  Now it always starts fresh with the master.
    But I am not the engineer, so I don't know if this was a conscious choice or a result of CoreImage.
    I don't ever want to unsharpen (i.e. blur). And even if I did, that was possible pre-iPhoto9 by sliding the slider into the negative band from its midway position. It's extremely difficult to oversharpen in iPhoto, even cumulatively, as the control (IMO) is usually superior to Adobe's.
    I found iPhoto 6 (and now iPhoto 9) had subtle, but high quality edit controls. The chances of JPEG artefacts - at any rate from a keen amateur photographer like me - were around zero.
    I believe that what I wanted could have been implemented with a simple Preferences choice :
    O  Maintain edit slider positions even after Save (non-destructive editing)
    O  Reset edit sliders to default positions after Save (destructive editing)
    That would have made everyone happy. Now, for those pictures which need cumulative sharpening (admittedly, a small number), I may as well do everything in Elements.

  • Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7?

    Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7? I found them and they are not anything that I am familiar with? They are from a t-com.de. I have been to Germany in the last month. Not sure if there is any association. Any thoughts? 

    You found them ... where?  Are they in Safari somewhere?
    If so, do Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
    If that doesn't clear them (and they are from Safari), try Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and clear that area.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

    Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library. There are many books that I want to delete and replace with current books, but cannot remove the old books.  Thanks  Guy

    Hey cjt101,
    Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Why can I not delete any emails on my iphone5?

    Thx. That seems to have solved my problem. I don't know but just all of a sudden when I opened an emal there was no option at the bottom.  After doing as you suggested, now all the options are back. Quite confusing to me. I do appreciate your suggestion and fix.

  • Why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini since iOS 8 update? Every time I try to delete an old mailbox that I added it boots me right out of mIl completely. I want to clean up and get rid of old unused mailboxes?

    why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini after the ios8 update?

    The mail app is crashing on you for some reason. Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't help, you can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
