  • How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?

    How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?   Often I just want to label an item on a map that is in PDF and want to use a simple label rather than a Text Box for labeling, but have yet to find a way to increase the font size beyond 24.   Can someone help me with this? - JML

  • Typewriter tool Acrobat 9

    UPDATE 2:
    Please see attached simpl scanned file.
    When I first open it Typewriter tool works just fine.
    If I extract a page from it, not deleting the page, then the typewriter tool only allows typing text and not modifying anything like spacing, etc.
    Update:
    Just ran a test:
    1) I extracted the entire document to help enable the typewriter tool editi features. Tested the extracted file and everything works as expected.
    2) I extracted one page out of this new document. The problem re-appeared.
    So what it means is that when I extract a page the typewriter tool gets set to disable editing features.
    Strange?

    Hello.
    My office just upgraded us to Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 on our XP- Pro.
    The Typewrighter tool works unpredictably. In some cases you can type text in but you are not allowed to change its size, spacing and so on. The features are dimmed out. I am working on a file with multiple sheets which are originally scanned into pdf. What I found out is when the problem comes up, if I extract all the sheets into another file the problem goes away and then comes back up after a while, requiring me to re-extract the entrie document.
    I have checked file settings and the security setting is always set to none.
    Some of the things I am doing to these files (engineering drawings) is I am cropping a portion of the drawing and then extracting that page, saving it into its own unique file. Then I am undoing the cropping and moving on to other things. In some cases I am placing annotations on the files. I don't beieve any of these activities should be causing unpredictable performance of the Typewriter tool.
    I have searched KB and all over the internet and have not seen any doscussions on this.
    I would appreciate any insight that anyone can bring to us.

    Hi Anna.
    I just updated to 9.2 and the problem still persists.
    The test should not be on the extracted page/file. The test should be on the file the page was extracted from.
    The bug is that the typewriter tool's features become disabled in a document once a page or pages have been extracted from it. The extraction seems to be causing the problem.
    Can you try again to see if you can recreate the problem?
    Thanks.

  • Acrobat X Standard--Typewriter Tool

    I recently switched from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat X Standard.   May those using the Standard version enable the typewriter tool for Reader?  When I select Save As-Reader Extended PDF, it only gives the option for Enabling Forms Fill-In.  When I saved my document, the typewriter tool was not activated for the users having access to Reader only.  Thanks.

  • Acrobat 9 typewriter tool

    In Acrobat 9 Standard, the typewriter tool controls; text
    size, line spacing, and text color are grayed out.
    Although I can use the typewriter tool, the text size and
    color cannot be changed.
    Should these controls be available in the Standard
    version?

    Thank you for your post.

  • IAC Typewriter Tool Acrobat 8

    I am using the function ExecuteMenuItem("ShowHideToolbarTypewriter") and ExecuteMenuItem("Annots:Tool:FreeTextTypewriterMenuItem") to open the typewriter toolbar and use the typewriter tool. This works fine in Acrobat 7 but in Acrobat 8 this does not work. Can someone please point me in the right direction to get this fixed?

    The documentation has a list of every menu item you can execute through IAC (with one exception - even though 'quit' is listed, you can't execute it - that is a bug in the documentation, not the application). If the menu item you want to execute is not in that list, it is security restricted. And it's not to prevent automation, it is for security reasons. They just used the firewall principle - instead of limiting each menu item one at a time, they shut everything out and then whitelisted ones that are not a security risk.

  • Acrobat 8 Standard typewriter tool color

    My IT department had to re-install my Acrobat 8 Std. Before,
    my typewriter tool has been black, now all of a sudden it's RED.
    Help, I need the black back. I downloaded 8.1.1 & 8.1.2 patches
    but it didn't help....

  • Acrobat 9 Editing Typewriter tool

    I can't get to my AA9 right now (recovering the HD), but in AA8 the tools appear to be grayed out, but they are still active. That may be the same appearance issue for you. Have you tried them? Of course, in AA8 only the font size and line spacing can be changed, not the font or color.
    Sorry Bill.. had to start a new discussion because the blue Reply button did not function (any ideas on that?!)
    Yes I tried clicking on the grayed tools but no response. Further to my question, I opened another pdf and was able to use Typewriter to type. However, this time the size and line spacing tools were grayed out, but I was able to change font and font size using the boxes on the right, which were mysteriously active in doc#2... the inconsistency doesn't make sense.. yet
    Just turned up a most bizarre wrinkle to this issue.
    I was using the typewriter tool in another document (Doc#2). This time the tools were not grayed out, and I was able to change the font, font size and font color at will. When I returned to the first document (Doc#1 -where the typewriter is active, but the tools all grayed out) and typed into the document I was very surprised to see that all the Typewriter settings from the Doc#2 were now applied to the Typewriter tool in Doc#1 !!!  Go figure... By the way, this is all taking place in Windows XP 5.1

    You may be viewing the document in PDF/A mode which turns off Typewriter and Forms editing.  Don't ask me why; I just discovered it.  Go to Edit --> Preferences on the tool bar and select the "Documents" category.  On that window is PDF/A View Mode.  Set the view mode to "Never" (view documents in PDF/A mode).  See screen shot below.  That fixed the problem for me; hope it works for you.

  • Javascript Typewriter Tool in Acrobat

    Hi All,
    I am about to embark on a project for Batch Processing using Javascript, I am an extreme novice and do not know whether I am going down the right path.
    Does anyone know if the Typewriter tool can used via Javascript on Batch level, and what Syntax would be required and whether it can locate a specifc part of the document? I will post the finished code (that I have not started to this thread) if anyone can let me know whether I'm wasting my time on this or not?
    Thanks in advance for any pointers
    Joe

    Thank you so much for the advice,
    I obviously was going in the wrong direction, I'll look into annotations
    Thanks so much Try67

  • Stamp and Typewriter tool gone after 9.5.2 update??

    Where did the stamp and typewriter tool go when I updated to Acrobat 9.5.2??

    I found that the Typewriter tool only appears on the Tools menu if the PDF you have open allows it.
    With some PDF forms I open, the Typewriter is missing from the Tools, but when I switch to a different PDF it reappears.
    There must be a permissions setting in each PDF that disables/enables the Typewriter tool.

  • Highlight tool, typewriter tool, etc. disappeared + gone from menu

    I installed Acrobat 9.5.5 Pro as part of the CS4 Suite several years ago.  I'm a casual user of Acrobat 9 Pro.  I have used the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool on many documents over the years.  Many that I have saved on my computer.  They have renderable text!
    Suddenly the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool, and others, have disappeared + are gone from the Tools + its sub-menus.  I'm a pretty savvy computer user.  I don't recall that I did anything to change the Tools menu.
    When I go to View\Toolbars\More Tools... the the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool don't show there either.
    I reinstalled Acrobat 9 Pro from the original CD... the tools menu is still missing the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool, and others. (I say "others" because, although I may not have used them, I sense there were previously more tools visible on the Tools + its sub-menus
    Can anyone advise me how to recover the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool?

    This happens to all PDF's, those created by me or otherwise.  The files are not protected.
    You pointed me to a link as a possible solution: "To use the Typewriter tool in Reader 9 on a PDF opened in the browser, enable this right on the PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional." => "Choose Tools > Typewriter > Enable typewriter tool in Adobe Reader." => I don't have a problem with Reader 9.  I cannot find this option in my Acrobat 9.5.5 Pro.
    Neither the Highlight tool or Typewriter tool exist in the More Tools menu.
    I cannot select highlighted text that I created by itself.  I can select a block of text that contains highlighted text within the block,however I cannot modify it.
    If I try to select a text box that I created with my mouse, it flashes a light blue shade very briefly as I left click on it, but does not actually select the box and allow me to access it.
    This is so strange.   I can't imagine what dumb thing I may have done to cause this.

  • Where is Typewriter Tool?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro- The typewriter tool is missing, it does not show in the Tools menu and it can't be selected from the More Tools menu.  What's wrong?  Should I reload Acrobat?

    Try steps in this screenshot first.
    If doesn't show in this widow you might have a Bad Preference file in which cas you need to look in:
    username > Library > Preferences   anythin associated with Acrobat  ending either in .plist, or Prefrence

  • Typewriter tool in browser?

    This question has been asked a few times already but none of the suggestions fixes make it possible to use the typewriter tool when opening a PDF from a web browser.  I know that it is possible because a colleague has her computer doing it.  Her browser is loading Acrobat Std in a separate window (not a browser window).  So how do you get the browser to launch acrobat.exe instead of the browser plug-in?

    This worked for me:
    Try: Edit > Preferences > Internet > Display PDF in Browser
