Acrobat Pro 9.4 and Touchup Object Tool

Working on PDFs that were printed from AutoCAD. I am trying to select an area to delete but it will not allow me to drag my selection box. . If I try to select a much larger area it will allow me to but this ends up selecting too much. This is not consistant either. I have done a couple of operations in the document (nothin specfic) and it will then allow me to select the small area. When I try to repeat the same thing again it won't allow me. I am running out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's interesting that this problem only manifests itself in certain applications. A friend installed a program called CuteWriterPDF and the applications that I was having difficulty with writing PDF files are taken care of perfectly with this small program. It was just an experiment but it worked. This is not a perfect fix as I would prefer a solution from Adobe but at least I'm back up and running.
Thanks much for taking the time to reply!

Hello Petros,
I figured out how to make this work, at least on my computer. Hold CTRL key and hit ENTER. This leaves the space. Hope this works for you.

Touchup Object tool not available to colleague with Acrobat 9

Is the TouchUp Object tool only available in Acrobat 9 Pro? A colleague who has Acrobat 9 Standard doesn't appear to have it in his Advanced Editing options. Is there something that can be done to make that option available? I looked at the comparison chart and it didn't indicate there was any difference.
Thanks in advance.

It is not available in Acrobat Standard:

TouchUp Object Tool Help

I'm trying to fill out a job application, and the instructions say to go to Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Object Tool to insert a picture of myself onto the application form. That's all well and good, except I don't seem to have an Advanced Editing option at all. It's not even a greyed out option under Tools on my Adobe Reader. I wasn't sure I had the most current version, so I downloaded Reader 10 to be sure, but it's still not an option under Tools. It is the free version, not the paid version of Reader. Is that my problem? Is there some other way to add my picture without the TouchUp tool?

Like Bernd mentioned, you need Acrobat to do that.
The good news is, if you only need it this one time, they offer a fully functional trial version (good for 30 days) on the Adobe website.

Touchup object tool will not load Photoshop

I am running Acrobat 7.0 Professional on Mac OS 10.4.11. When I attempt to use the touchup object tool, Photoshop will not activate. It is chosen as my touchup object tool in touchup preferences. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat and Creative Suite (my version is CS2). The problem is unique to a single user on my Macintosh. When I made a new account, it all works fine. There must be a preference file or library file, etc. that is corrupted within my user account. Has anyone encountered/solved this problem?

I've fixed similar problems by moving the Home> Library folder (and all contents) to the Desktop and renaming it Old Library. Then restart into the same account and OS X will build you a fresh Library folder with default folders and settings. See if the Acrobat/Photoshop problem is gone. If it is, then you can continue working, dragging over essential files from the Old library into the new (like saved workspaces, fonts, etc.) as needed.
I usually immediately replace the default Keychain with the one in my Old Library folder.
If anything goes glitchy, you can always replace the (New) Library with your old one and restart.

TouchUp Object Tool

Hi Sir/Mdm,
I have a pdf file where all texts are created in image which I believe I cannot edit it. I tried to touch up it by using TouchUp Object Tool. When I right clicked to "edit image", my photoshop pops out with error opening the image. Pls help and advice if there are other options erasing the text or cut and paste functions. Really appreciate for any tips and help. Thank you.

How do I get a pdf document already on adobe acrobat pro to scan and make it into a scanned document?

Acrobat Pro only. I have a document which I am try to convert into a scanned document. I am trying to find out if it can be done on Acrobat Pro

I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help! Chris.

It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

Unable to install updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and MS Office 2008

This is a followup post to a nagging problem last fall that prevented successful installation of product version updates for Acrobat Pro 9.0 and Microsoft Office 2008 running under OS X v10.6.5. Days of fruitless, circular pursuit of solutions from both Adobe and Microsoft tech support provided no recognition of the problem…let alone an answer.
Fortunately, a few helpful techs at a nearby Apple Store yielded results. They were initially as perplexed as their counterparts but it gratified to this customer when each recognized the problem was real and was sufficiently motivated to track down a solution.
By process of elimination it was suggested: i) reinstall the original Snow Leopard 10.6.0 upgrade disk; ii) download the v10.6.5 combo update to bring the OS current; and iii) download and install the Acrobat and Office updates. It worked—perfectly—the first time.
The consensus seems to be that a combination of many successive installations of OS and product version updates eventually produced conflicting instructions resulting in stalemate.
Remarkably, it hasn't been necessary (or appealing) to perform a clean install since some point prior to the introduction of OS X. Nor has it since. A 'rollback' to the original Snow Leopard version with one subsequent update to the current OS version appears to have cleared out a nest of remnant conflicting instructions. Kudos to Apple's tech support and Occam's Razor.

Hello,
You can download the Acrobat 9 updates manually by following link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
However, PDF Maker plugin would not be enable in Outlook, as Acrobat 9 is not support with Office 2013.
Please refer to following compatibility chart:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
You need to have Acrobat 11 to get PDF maker plugin in Office 2013.

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files...

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files, when I click on icon I get this message: the last time you opened Acrobat, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the window yourself. There are 2 options: Don't Reopen or Reopen Either choice leads to a window that pops upend says please wait while we launch Acrobat and then window just closes quickly.

Hi mbt6833,
You may goto control panel and then go to program and features.
Select the Acrobat pro and chose the option change from the top. Fallow the onscreen instruction a windows will pop up where you need to choose repair.

PDF file displays different number of text blocks in Acrobat Pro CC 2014 and CS6 versions

Hi,
I've inherited a file at work that displays different numbers of text blocks, depending on the version of Acrobat Pro used to view the file. Here's the specific issue:
As viewed in CC 2014:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as two text blocks -- one for "Chapter 1 - " and one for "Chapter One Title"
As viewed in CS 6:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as a single text block -- "Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title"
This occurs only with regard to single-digit chapter numbers that are whole numbers. So:
Chapter 1, Chapter 5, and Chapter 7 entries appear as two blocks in CC 2014, one block in CS6.
Chapter 2.0, Chapter 6.1, Chapter 10, entries appear in single blocks in both CC 2014 and CS6.
The PDF file was created -- I believe -- through the save-to-PDF feature in Word 2010.
Any idea what's happening here?
Thanks.
David

First of all, there is no such thing as Acrobat CS6 or Acrobat CC 2014. We assume you are referring to Acrobat X and Acrobat XI respectively.
Secondly, how are you determining how many text blocks are in the PDF file? By use of the text touchup/edit function in Acrobat? If so, how this edit function displays text doesn't necessarily correspond to the actually underlying text fragments in the PDF file. In fact, sometimes it combines fragments based on heuristics. Those heuristics have varied with different version of Acrobat.
PDF as a file format doesn't know the context of the graphical objects such as text. There is no concept of a line, a sentence, a paragraph, a column, etc. in terms of text. Runs of text are context-insensitive. You will get “breaks” when switching between regular and italics or when unusual paragraph justification is involved.
Is the actual problem in trying to edit the text or something else?
If you post a file, and indicate what text we should look at, we can confirm what is actually going on in your file.

Acrobat Pro X crash and file corruption

I'm having an issue with Acrobat Pro X. While I was using the touchup reading order tool to select a form field, Acrobat crashed. Now, when I attempt to open the file, I'm getting a message that states "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I'm not sure how this occurred and I don't believe it was something I did since I was not doing anything out of the ordinary when it happened.
Is there any way around this issue that would allow me to open this file?

The file is corrupt. Either it was corrupt which caused the crash or the crash caused the corruption. But your file is toast. Best solution is to restore the file from backup.

Acrobat Pro 9 - Comments and Stickies vanish and reappear when clicked!

Very strange problem, I'm having. If I add comments, stickies or callouts to a PDF, everything is great UNTIL I click off of the item being created. The item immediately disappears with no indication that anything is there (ie: a sticky "bubble" icon).
I know these items are still in the file because if I click in the area where a sticky was created, it instantly reappears, but only temporarily. But the minute I click again on something else or off the sticky itself, all comments and stickies disappear again. Same thing with callout objects.
So they ARE in the file - I have verified it. I can save and reopen the same PDF in Adobe Reader, and everything appears as expected - all of these elements are visible all the time, and respond as expected. Just absolute wackiness in Acrobat Pro 9.
This was never a problem in Pro 8 or earlier. I don't have Pro X to try.
All preferences for comments have been checked and tested. All comments were set to "show". Toggling the settings does not help. It happens in any pdf file being modified in Acrobat Pro.
The comment List does show me the full list and contents of the stickies, but in the main window - nothing shows up until I blindly find the right spot and click!
Very frustrating, indeed!
Working with a relatively new 27" Core i5 iMac with 8GB RAM running OS X 10.6.6.
Any ideas?

Try using a program like Onyx or Applejack to clean all user caches. You can also try to remove the Acrobat 9 preference file. It may have become corrupt.

I subscribe to Acrobat Pro XI online and my computer is not recognizing it

I've subscribed to Acrobat Pro XI and pay $21 and change monthly. Currently Acrobat does not recognize my subscription and keeps asking me to purchase Acrobat Pro to export PDF to Word, Excel to PDF, etc. In other words, I'm not able to use any of the tools I'm paying for since my Acrobat keeps asking me to purchase monthly subscription I'm already paying for.
