Why can't I select Text box in Adobe XI?

I am SO frustrated. I can't do something so simple as select a text box in Adobe XI. Whenever I try, all it does is edit the text. I have tried clicking all over in different spots of the object with the select object tool and all it will ever do is edit.

If it is going to edit text, then you have the edit text tool and not the select object tool. However, these have changed in functionality between versions. I just checked AA XI and if you select the edit text and images under the content editing tools, you can select a text box and move it around. I think this is what you wanted. You have to move the cursor to the edge of the box to move it.

  • Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

    HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
    I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
    Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
    Thanks,

    In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
    if (dropdown1 == 1) then
    $.clearItems()
    $.setItems("Year, 2 Year,  3 Year")
    elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
    $.clearItems()
    $.setItems("3 Year,  4 Year")
    endif

  • Why can't I get text on my iPad? Roommate has iPhone and iPad like myself gets text both places. The only difference seems to be her phone number is listed before her email address. Can't get it to add my number.

    Why can't I get text on my iPad?  My roommate has a iphone and iPad like myself and she gets text. Only difference is her cell number is listed before her email address. My cell number is no there and won't let me add it.

    I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
    If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.

  • Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

    Hi Guys,
    I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any change?

    Hi,
    Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
    However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were  Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
    It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

  • Can no longer select text in Preview

    Hello there,
    A very annoying problem: I selected some text in a .pdf file that was opened with Preview and I marked it yellow, however once I saved it I could no longer select any more text, it is like the function has disapeared. I even tried restarting the computer, but I can no longer select text in that file. How odd?
    Funny enough, the phenomenon doesn't occur with all my .pfd files. I guess it is a bug, but quite annoying. Any one else having the same problem?

    Thanks for posting back though i'm sorry it didnt work.
    I believe there are also other dashboard plist files in that folder (i'm not currently at my Mac so can't say which exactly, though i believe one is called "client"). You could try trashing them (or dragging them to the desktop).
    Does the problem also happen if you log in to another account? Create a new account if necessary.
    /p

  • Why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?

    why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?  I have adobe acrobat pro XI.  I can open a pdf in acrobat pro and am able to add text to a pdf, but when I open a pdf in firefox, the "add text" option is not available.

    When you install Acrobat XI you are also installing Reader for use in the browser. Reader is "sandboxed", or as it says in the Preferences, it is in "Protected Mode". Acrobat does not understand the concept of running in sandboxed memory (sandbox is a security feature to prevent the bad guy from exploiting a memory error and getting into a memory address where they can do damage to your computer) so to help protect Acrobat users the same way Reader users are protected we just install Reader along with Acrobat, but it is only used in the browser (part of this is because the bad guys use web sites as their primary method of distributing corrupted PDF files that can cause problems).
    That said, because you are in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled prior to being posted to the web site (or opened in the browser). Once the file is Reader Enabled you should be able to add the text annotations.

  • Why can't I select preferred wifi networks

    why can't I select preferred wifi networks

    I don't know how to block the other wireless access points to show on the list, but from what you said, you want to let it connect to one of your preferred network whenever one is available, connect it automatically.
    before you change anything, let run the following command in Terminal to show your Mac current settings:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort en1 prefs
    copy what it returned.
    mine returned:
    AirPort preferences for en1:
    DisconnectOnLogout=NO
    JoinMode=Preferred
    JoinModeFallback=Prompt
    RememberRecentNetworks=YES
    RequireAdminIBSS=NO
    RequireAdminNetworkChange=YES
    RequireAdminPowerToggle=YES
    WoWEnabled=NO
    That's the default behaviour of OS X, we don't care for what reason it was changed on your Mac. Lets reset it.
    in Terminal, run the following command:
    sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/air port en1 prefs JoinMode=Preferred JoinModeFallback=Prompt RememberRecentNetworks=YES
    it may ask you to put admin password, and do so, press enter to continue.
    Explain a little bit.
    The JoinMode=Preferred means, it will connect your preferred network when it's available.
    JoinModeFallback=Prompt: if no preferred network around, it will prompt you to choose. if you want you can select other options:
         JoinOpen
         KeepLooking
         DoNothing
    RememberRecentNetworks=YES: it will remember whatever network it joined before, put it in your preferred network. If you want, set it to No.
    you can get the details of airport command by run:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort
    Hope this help.
