Acrobat 9 typewriter text doesn't show

Acrobat 7 made me a big fan of the typewriter feature. Now that I've upgraded to Acrobat 9, I'm having problems with it. Suppose I add some typewriter text to a .pdf and save it. When I reopen the file, the typewriter text doesn't show. My text is there, but I can't see it. If I click my mouse in an area where I typed, the text comes up. I can double click it and edit it as usual. Then if I click elsewhere, the text I was looking at before disappears. So I can only look at one text entry at a time. The typed text does come out on hard copies.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
In case it matters, I'm running Acrobat Standard 9.0.0 under XP Pro SP3 on an HP Notebook with 4GB of RAM.
Thanks,
Herb

No luck but thanks...

  • Text doesn't show when I embed

    Hi, thanks for taking the time to look at my problem.
    I have Flash CS3, and I just downloaded the Pirulen font. I
    played my movie and it works. When I tried to embed the font, the
    text doesn't show up at all.
    Also, I have a tint on my text on a keyframe, and if I click
    on the timeline, the text shows up black like it should, but when I
    export it, the text stays red. I tried different fonts, but none of
    them work.

    and are you embedding the needed characters? if yes, are you
    embedding the needed characters?
    are you referencing your textfield with actionscript
    anywhere? if so, post (only) the code that references your
    textfield (using the attach code option in this forum).

  • Text doesn't show up after exporting

    When I export my file, the text that I put in the file with the text tool doesn't show up. Everything else is fine though. Someone please halp!

    If you are using dynamic textfields then it is likely you need to embed the fonts/characters for them.  This is most likely the case if you happen to be masking, animating, or otherwise manipulating them.  To embed the fonts/characters you select the textfield on the stage and in the Properties panel you click the button labeled "Embed..." and then select the character sets you need to embed.
    Another cause could be that the textfields are assigned the same font voor as the background such that they do not seem to appear, but if you see the text before you publish the file then this is less likrly to be tyhe case.

  • Alt text doesn't show

    Hi Creatives,
    it's a simple question? How can I add an alt text to images?
    Right click image properties doesn't show.
    Thanks,
    Rado

    You can only use Alt text, if you place an image. Alt text is not available, if you fill a box with an image.

  • Text doesn't show up in PSE8

    This is so weird! After moving action files to the appropriate folder, an
    d viewing them in PSE8, I can no longer view (on screen) the horizontal text in text box.
    It's set on: Jester/Regular/60 pt and white is set for background and foreground.
    I've created a new layer, and type in the text (altho it doesn't appear on the screen),
    but it does appear on the Text Layer in Layers.  It also does NOT show up in Print Preview.
    Any suggestions?
    I was working earlier, today. I've restarted pse8 over and over..same results. (Tried different
    fonts, diff. sizes, etc..no luck)

  • Text doesn't show, scroll bar does? using Flash CS3 Please help!

    A little background:  I made text box, typed some text, converted it to a movie clip, named etc.  Used a purchased and proven scroller component ... followed directions to the letter, including referencing/linking the files. However, when I tried to test the scroll bar .... the scroll bar appears, scrolls and works perfectly except the text does not appear.  I have tried making a scroll bar with the UIscrollbar same thing happens. I made an other attempt and put pics along with the text in the movie clip ... this time the pics appeared and scrolled, but the text still would not appear.  PLEASE HELP. I am on a deadline and can't get past this scroll bar issue. THANK YOU!

    Hi
    Thanks for the tip. I did embed the text, but still not showing. Currently, I have the text  box set to the following: Dynamic Text, Multiline, Border Around text, Anti-Alias for Animation (but I have tried all choices and embed the text each time).
    Here are the original instructions with the FTscrollbar which I followed exactly.
    1. Drag the component (FTscrollbar) from the components panel to the stage.
    2. Create a new movie clip to be scrolled:
         a. create a textfield on the scene and type in a few lines of text
         b. select the text fields and covert them to a move clip symbol having the registration point top left. (I did top right since my scroll bar is on the right).
         c. give the new movie clip an name in properties panel.
    3.Select the component of the stage and configure its parameters in the parameters panel or component inspector panel.
         a. Instruc the component to scroll the new created movie clip as the targetMovieClip
         b. Set the viewAreaHeight and viewAreaWidth
         c. set snapMode to snapToView value
         d. leave rest of parameters unchanged unless you want to adjust.
    4. Test Movie (contol/test movie)
    On the FTscrollbar, I have the targetMovieClip set to the movieclips name the only other parameters the instructions said to change were veiwAreaHeight=100 veiwAreaWidth=150 which were the defaults.  When I change this numbers the scroll bar goes away and the text still doesn't appear?  The scroll bar is 16 x 140, the text box to be scrolled is 130 x 143 and the entire flash page is 500 x 550. I am not sure what the viewAreaHeight and viewAreaWidth are for ... or if that could be the problem?  I have never had problems with scrollers but I used MX. I just recently purchased the CS3 and I am not sure what I am not selecting or not selecting but if feel it's probably something simple I am overlooking.  So any more ideas are MOST APPRECIATED. If you need more info from me to help solve, please feel free to ask. THANKS!

  • Converting Word to PDF: text doesn't show on top of image

    I have a word 2013 document with text on top of an image. When I convert to PDF with Acrobat Standard XI the image covers the text.
    Here is the page in Word:
    and here in Acrobat:
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I have only used Acrobat Pro, not Standard. Does Standard have a Content Pane? If so, I would try selecting each content element on the page till I found the image, and drag it above the text elements in the content order.
    Hope this helps.

  • Acrobat X plugin doesn't show up in Chrome

    On mij PC (Windows 7 Pro) I have installed Acrobat X Standard 10.1.7. 
    Today (20130608) I installed Chrome, besides Chrome I use Internet Explorer 10.
    The Acrobat Toolbar appears in IE, as it always did. However the Acrobat Toolbar does not appear in Chrome.
    The toolbar also is not present in the list of plugins of Chrome, in the list there is a Adobe Reader plugin version 10.1.7.27.
    In the list of extensions the Acrobat plugin doesn't appear either.
    I tried a repair installation of Acrobat, without success.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi race2000,
    Acrobat X plugin is not compatible with Chrome. Acrobat XI is.

  • Acrobat Preview mode doesn't show PMS spot colors

    Out of the blue, the preview mode in Acrobat 9 is showing PMS spot colors as black, CMYK colors show up fine. The actual pdf itself is fine. This happens when I make pdfs "High Quality" or "Press Quality" from Indesign 6. Curiously, it does not happen when I make a "Smallest File". However when I attach these pdfs to email, the spot colors appear black.
    I've been using 9 for a long time and I've been using Indesign 6 for a few months now. I'm on a Mac Pro, OSX 10.6.8. I can't figure out if there is something that was unchecked or checked that is causing this problem to come up seemingly out of nowhere.
    Any advice is much appreciated,
    Thanks!

    It was correct for Adobe to use the Lab alternate color space for display of Pantone spot colors. Why? Two reasons:
    (1)     InDesign and Illustrator are now consistent with Photoshop's behaviour with non-process color channels. This interoperability issue has been complained about for years.
    (2)     When one referred to the CMYK alternate color space values of Pantone colors, the question naturally comes up as to which CMYK color space those deviceCMYK values represent. Are those values for SWOP or Gracol or what? According to what Pantone told me personally years ago, they were SWOP, but not so-labelled. Thus, unless your output CMYK color space is SWOP, use of those CMYK colors is simply wrong!!! Using Lab alternate colors will allow whatever renders those spot colors in either RGB or CMYK to properly render them in the actual final color space!
    Unfortunately, there is nothing that Adobe can do to cause Apple's preview product to properly display these colors. By the way, this problem also afflicts the built-in PDF viewer in the iOS products as well as MacOS X. Fortunately, under MacOS, you can easily download and install the free Adobe Reader and have it do all the PDF display in lieu of Apple's preview. Although we do have Adobe Reader available for iOS, Apple does not let us replace preview in iOS for PDF preview. You must view in preview and send the file to Adobe Reader.
    Of course, if enough Apple users complained to Apple management about the numerous anomalies of its preview program, maybe after all these years, they might actually fix it to properly handle Lab colors (as well as transparency).

  • Place panoramic window in Acrobat but it doesn't show if converted to a page flip brochure

    Hi there
    I am using Acrobat to insert a swf file of a 360 degree window so a user can view a room all around.  This can be added to a PDF document no problems but I would like to convert the document to a page turning brochure.  I have tried converting the document with the swf file in the PDF but it is not showing in the page flip brochure.
    Does anybody know if this is possible or reasons why it is not working or can be corrected.
    I look forward to hearing from you

  • Text Caption Doesn't Show in Edit

    Has anyone else had this issue, it has happened a few times
    for us: A Text Caption can not be seen, accessed or updated on the
    Edit Screen .. But, it is visible on the Thumb Nail, Timeline, and
    Storyboard. When a Preview is run, it also shows up as it should.
    However, if you run it from the Timeline is doesn't show up.
    At first I thought it was a layering issue, but bringing the
    text to front doesn't solve it. Any ideas? Thanks!!!!

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

  • In Acrobat 8 Professional, how can I change the typewriter text color?

    I tried selecting the text then pressing Ctrl-E but the text properties toolbar that appears says, "No current selection." I tried this method another user suggested:
    "1. Use the text box tool to type some text, then select the text
    2. Use the properties bar, ctrl-E, or View > Toolbars > Properties Bar, to change the color of the font
    3. Highlight the text, not the text box and copy the text.
    4. Click on the typewriter tool and type some text.
    5. Click on the comments menu and select "Show Comments List", in the comments list you should see the typewriter entry from step 4 above.
    6. Highlight the typewriter text in the comments window then paste the copied text from step 3 above.  It should paste with the color selected in the properties bar.
    7. Right click an area of the typewriter entry in the comments list, and choose properties.
    8. On the General tab check the "Make Properties Default" Check box and click OK.
    All new typewriter entries should now use this new font color. "
    But when I get to STEP #2 the text properties toolbar that appears has all the options to edit the text shaded so I cannot select the option to change the text color. Any help would be appreciated!

    There really aren't default outgoing font settings. They are only there for viewing. A workaround I have seen mentioned is to start you signature with the font style you want to use. When you start your message, click in that first part of your signature.
    Something like

  • ICal doesn't show all text for the activity

    When I updated to iCal version 8.0 i noticed that when I am in week-view, iCal doesn't show all the text for an activity, although there is plenty of room. For example I have a lecture from 9 am - 4 pm and in the activity I put down all the things I have to do, but it only shows the first line for my activity. I need to drag the box or double click on it to see all the text. Can I change this?

    Gabriella,
    Sometimes making the Calendar window bigger, or using full screen allows additional text to be displayed.
    View>"Make Text Smaller" is also an option for those with Eagle Eyes.
