Acrobat 9 Pro: Cannot copy highlighted text unless I un-highlight the text

I have highlighted text in a document. When I go to copy that same text, it selects the entire sentence. I right-click, the menu starts with "Set Status." There is no "copy" option. Neither is control-C successful. When I next paste, it pastes a previously selected text, not the text I am attempting to copy in Acrobat. The only way I have found to copy the highlighted text is to un-highlight it, and then copy it. Are there any other solutions?
Thanks!

Thank you! This works. I pressed "shift," then highlighted the text I want to copy, and right-click (while still holding down "shift" key), and "Copy" finally appears in the menu.

  • I purchased Adobe CS4.  I am now being asked for my serial number and when I put it in the program does not recognize it for Acrobat Pro 9 though it does for PhotoShop, Bridge and the rest of the suite.  What can I do?

    When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.

    Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

  • I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code  what can I do?

    Hi,
    I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code . What can I do? I purchased CS5.1

    You can get the updates for the MAC from Adobe - Acrobat : For Macintosh, but apparently you already found that. Two possibilities that I can think of: 1. You have anti-virus enabled and that is causing the failure or 2. You are trying to install an update and skipped ones before it. If you start with the latest update, the download indicates the previous version required for the update. It looks like 10.1.12 can install over any previous version, so I would go for broke and install the latest.

  • When I select a title or lower thirds and try to enter text by double clicking on it I cannot enter any text at all. Also the text area box does not show up at all where you can enter text also.

    When I select a title or lower thirds and try to enter text by double clicking on it I cannot enter any text at all. Also the text area box does not show up at all where you can enter text also.

    It's a bit hit and miss, Walter. Sometimes the box to enter text shows up straight away in the inspector under "text". Other times, although you click "text" in the inspector, there's nowhere to actually write anything.... then what you have to do is move the trackbar over the Title Box until you see the text boxes in the main Viewer. In the Viewer, double click a text box.... you can enter text there, but it's a bit flaky, but when you've clicked in it, you'll find that under "Text" in the inspector, the box for inputting text has magically appeared!
    I'm not sure if anyone else has this trouble, but it is a bit of a pain!

    Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

  • Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project.  I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box., Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project.  I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box.

    I'm am having difficulty editing text in the iphoto book project.  I have a text box that is pre-populated with text.  I can edit the text once, then if I need to change something, it won't let me delete anything, only add to it.  Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks!

    You should be able to double click in the text box and add or delete text. First  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos, create a book  and check to see if the same problem persists. Post back with the results.

  • HT3529 When texting with other iphone users, the text used to be in a blue bubble. Now it's green. What happened? Am I being charged for these text messages now? I'm with Verizon if that matters.

    When texting with other iphone users, the text used to be in a blue bubble. Now it's green. What happened? Am I being charged for these text messages now? I'm with Verizon if that matters.

    Thanks for the help, Allan Sampson.
    I updated itunes, shut the phone off and on, it still didn't give me blue bubbles. Kept following the suggestions on the page ...  I didn't know there was an IMessaging switch, but, shoot, it was OFF. Anyway, I toggled it on and now the text bubbles are blue again.

  • PDF files created in Acrobat Pro X for Mac will not print correctly on Windows - text is missing

    I recently created a PDF file with pictures and texts in Acrobat Pro X. However, when I send it to my coworkers (who work on Windows computers), the printed file contains only images, and no text. I am using Century Gothic - a font that is installed on these Windows computers. When they open the files, they can see the text and everything exactly as it is meant to be. However, upon printing, the text disappears completely.
    We are using a Konica Minolta Bizhub printer to complete these printouts. When I print from my computer (the Mac), the files print perfectly on this printer. However, when using the same printer, a Windows user cannot print the text in the PDF's.
    Has anyone else run across this problem? I am thinking of trying to embed fonts, however it doesn't seem like it would make much of a difference (since the fonts show up fine on a Windows computer anyways). Is there a known issue with printing PDF's on a Konica Minolta printer?

    The archive format you used embeds all fonts, as does Press and Print type job settings. The standard job settings does not embed all fonts and that might be where the problem was.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot save as word doc

    Adobe Acrobat Pro - Save as failed to process this document. No file was created.

    The File
    (1) The file has to be a PDF.
    (2) The file has to be a PDF that is adequately ISO 32000 compliant (a 'good' PDF).
    Number (2) is why, for most PDFs - most times, the export process chokes.
    (& no being of file extension "pdf" does not mean the 'good' PDF was created)
    The application.
    Consider a cold reboot.
    Ensure Acrobat is fully updated.
    Ensure Acrobat version is compatible with OS
    Consider doing an Acrobat "repair".
    If one goes the deactivate/uninstall route consider using the "cleaner" tool.

  • I updated to Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, now I want to delete the bad update.

    I updated to Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 and it won't print a pdf, all it does is stall at the very beginning of the printing and hangs up. Adobe: How Do I Delete this bad update? I need to use this as a pdf maker. Thanks for your help.

    It deletes the entire program (just click on the link and that is what it tells you). The only way I know to backup is to reinstall. When you say it will not print a PDF, I assume you mean create one from some other application using the Adobe PDF printer. It is probably worth trouble shooting the issue a bit as it may be a simple problem.
    First, what os are you running, and if Windows xx is it 32 or 64-bit? Have you tried to print to file with the printer and then opening the file in Distiller to complete the creation? If that works, is AcroTray running in the background? You may actually have to stop it if it is and restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder).

  • I cannot use my arrow keys to navigate in the text using firefox 4.0 beta fo mac OSX. Is this a setting I can change somewhere?

    Also the tab key ti jump from one form window to the next to fill them in, does not work anymore.
    It is especially annoying typing emails using webmail. I can only navigate trough the text using my mouse.
    I am sorry to post in here but I was not able to give feedback on the blog. Maybe I need to be logged in??

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Changing a PDF with a text box, and then flatten the text box onto the underlying PDF before sending the document out.

    I download PDF documents from municipalities, often and from numerous municipalities.
    They have a scanned image of a form that I need to fill out,
    I enter my contact info as a text box onto the form, along with other information,
    but when I save the document, there seems no way to flatten the fields so that the person I send the document to has a true PDF and cannot change the document.
    They could delete one of the text boxes or change the text in the box (by mistake),
    which could case some major complications.
    How do I flatten the document, so I can send it back to the municipalities as a PDF that cannot be changed.
    I am using Acrobat X Pro, on windows XP machine

    I doubt you could fix this. Generally a "garbled" file is considered unusable for copying, and that's that. If a PDF uses random mappings instead of standard ones it looks fine on screen, but text extraction is impossible.
    Short of converting every page to bitmap and OCRing again.
