Acrobat Pro 9 added text to headers

Creating a PDF from a Word 2007 file. Acrobat prepended text in one cell of a table in the head. The text added is not in the Word doc anywhere.

Hi ,
This seems to be an issue specific to the file you are using . Does it happen for any file with tables ?
If possible can you please share the file converting which you encountered such behavior . Please also mention your OS ,version of Acrobat and MSOffice version .
Thanks,

  • Acrobat 8: Adding text to a pdf and finding that text with ocr

    I have some documents in German. They have been OCR'd with German. I also translate a few words into English and place those words on the Document page using the Typewriter Tool to get those words onto the Document page. In my current document, the words have disappeared.
    Using Note software (Evernote), the words added by Typewriter Tool are not found by indexing in the Note software.
    I would like to know:
    1. Is the Typewriter Tool the best tool for the purpose of adding words?
    2. How do I keep the words on top of the image?
    3. Is there a way to get those words found by OCR?
    Thanks for your help.

    1. Is the Typewriter Tool the best tool for the purpose of adding words?
    No.
    2. How do I keep the words on top of the image?
    Add words with the touchup text tool.

  • Why can't I search/find text I added in a PDF with the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X?

    If I use the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X to modify a text, the program can't find the added/changed text. But when I just delete letters/words in the text, the rest/changed words can be found. Is that a known problem? Is there any fix or workaround?

    Fantastic. There is all sorts of nonsense out there on how to fix this problem, but your simple suggestion works perfectly. Thanks!

  • Adding alt text tags in InDesign (and Acrobat Pro)

    I am having real difficulty adding alternative text tags. I created an INDD doc with rollover buttons linked to URLs firstly in InDesign CS4. I couldn't add alt text tags in CS4 so I then tried to add them in Acrobat X Pro but failed. Acrobat keeps wanting to class the PDF as a form. I then installed InDesign CS6 from the cloud and added alt text to the rollover buttons via object export options. However, these do not show when I export to PDF.
    Can someone help me add alt text to my rollover buttons in my interactive PDF either in InDesign CS6 or in Acrobat Pro after I export it?

    In InDesign CS6, you just need to add descriptions to buttons. This is done in the buttons and forms panel:
    This is the alt text in Acrobat when you roll over the button:
    Hope that helps!

  • Unable to print added text only in Acrobat Pro XI

    User is trying to print added text that's been added to an existing PDF page.  In Acrobat X she chose "Form fields only" under Comments & Forms from the Print menu.  In XI it produces a blank page.  The added text only shows up if she chooses Document or Document and Markups, but then she gets the entire document.  She only wants the added text to print.

    Thanks to all who commented here.  I found that adding text using Tools>Content Editing>Add Text will not allow the user to print solely the added text.  As everyone responded here, that's as designed.  However, using Comment>Annotations>Add Text does allow the user to print solely the added text as she was used to doing in Acrobat X.  I thought it was the same tool under two different headings, but obviously they interact differently in the print menu.  Choosing Form fields only from the Print Menu's Comments & Forms panel will produce solely the text added under the Comment panel's Add Text tool without printing the rest of the document page.  And the user doesn't have to turn the document into a form to do so.

  • When upgrading from Abobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI, is it possible to save Headers and Footers in documents?

    I support a law firm that users headers and footers in their documents.  They are upgrading from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to XI.  when they did an install on one PC, the headers and footers in a PDF did not show and had to be recreated.  Is there a way around that?  I's appreciate any input.
    Thanks!

    This is a work around. Bring the pdf into Illustrator. Go to Select >Object>Text.  In the attributes panel, deselect Overprint. In the Transparency panel, select Knockout Group. In the Appearance panel, check to make sure the black is not overprinting by clicking on the Character entry. If not, try clicking "Clear Appearance" (here I got a little lost.
    Resave the pdf file. Your black text should now knock out. You may have to retrap, unless your RIP does that for you.
    Hope this helps. (I had to keep trying to get it to work, but I finally did.

  • Can I get the summary of added and deleted words in two compared documents in Acrobat Pro XI as it was in Pro 6?

    I want to be able to estimate the amount of words that change from one document to another. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to compare two documents. The summary says "Differences exist between documents" and lists the amount of pages in each one. Then it goes on to the report and highlights insertions and deletions.
    I would like a more informative summary. Previously, in Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.0 (I don't really know after that), the summary I got after comparing two documents contained how many words had been added and how many words had been deleted.
    I have checked the configuration of the new Acrobat but I have not been able to find the same functionality. Is there something I am missing? Is this feature not supported anymore?
    If so, is there a workaround? I have been looking into using JavaScript but I cannot access properties of words that the program highlights as having changed. Thank you very much for any insight you may have.

    OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
    Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image  or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
    When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
    When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
    If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
    Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
    OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents". 
    Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
    Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
    Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
    being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
    But - well you've described what can be observed.
    Be well...

  • Acrobat crashes whenever adding text

    This occurs whether there is a text box to be filled in or using the add text function. There may be other things also crashing it but this is the biggest issue for me on my Mac host system. If I open the same documents in a Windows VM using Reader, I can enter text without difficulty.

    I'm having a similar issue. Every third or fourth time I save after adding text Acrobat crashes with no meaningful reason (at least none in the crash message)...even though the added text is saved. I'm working through trying different text settings to see if there is a problem there. I'll post what I find.

  • I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

    I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

    So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  Results were reproduced.  The verdict is:
    - complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
    - different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
    - using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
    - adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
    - just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
    It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating  the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality.  It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some  improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and  whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet.  But  unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was  getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

  • Fuzzy text Acrobat Pro

    Hello,
    I was trying to create a PDF with very clear text. So I did the following, rather simple:
    1. New file in Fireworks
    2. Added some text and made text Arial
    3. File export save as PDF with no compression for the options
    Yet when I preview the PDF that I just created, the text is somewhat blurry compared to say
    a PNG file that I could create directly from Fireworks.
    Any thoughts?
    Jim

    Hi Test,
    Keep in mind all snapshots were taken on the same system, each window side-by-side. So, it is not a matter of turning smoothing on or off, since this would affect all documents at the same time. In fact, I tried different smoothing settings (including off), and this was not a viable solution.
    I can clearly see a difference between the three examples. Text in Apple Preview is extremely clear. On Adobe Reader 9 it is quite clear, even if a bit heavier. In Acrobat Pro X it's even heavier, and very hard to read. More than text, I start to see confused ink stains (and have problems forming the sonic image of the words in my mind).
    As for color, I guess you are right in suspecting there is a different interpretation of the embedded color profile. Acrobat Pro X (and Apple Preview/ColorSync) might correctly translate it (being a prepress settings), while Reader could be confused. I don't know where to choose a color profile in Reader 9, so I cannot test it.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13.  I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight.  I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

    It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).

  • Editing text in Acrobat Pro doc using Reader

    I've created documents in Acrobat 8 Pro for a client who needs to be able to add a few lines of text in Reader, then re-save and email the PDFs. Each time they try, though, they get the message telling them that they can't save the PDF and should print it out and fill it in.
    Is there any way round this, other than my client buying Acrobat Pro?

    I'm not talking about "major" edits either. If you have the original document, you always want to edit it first. It's just silliness to do anything else. Editing the PDF is asking for problems in many different forms.
    That's the ideal but what if you do not have an original. Suppose the pdf was sent to you to correct.
    I've been there.  Also if a PDF is not been setup for Reader User Rights, by an individual, if you have a Pdf that has small defect, there is a tendency to to use touch up text.  I've done that myself.
    But if I find more than one or two items , I do as you. I just go back to riginal if I have it, and create a new one.
    The above was to caution that if you hvae minor defects , you've either got to create a new version or create a copy with usage rights disabled, then work on that. You methos is the best.

  • Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 crashes when displaying pdf made from Word doc containing url text

    Hello,
    I and a few others in my workplace have a similar issue.
    Acrobat crashes when they scroll through and view a pdf file that was created from Word.  The Word document contains url text in its header to the effect of "visit us at www.blah.com ." They're running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 and Office 2K Pro SR-1 on XP Pro SP2.
    Even though the link is not an active link, (i.e. clicking on it does not open the web page), if I convert a document containing this header to PDF, Acrobat will not allow me to manipulate the file and will crash. When I take the same document and remove the web address, then convert from Word to PDF, I experience no problems with Acrobat (note that this is the identical file, but with the web address removed).This does not explain why Acrobat will work for awhile even with the web address in the header, then stop working. But it does appear to fix my problem with creating a PDF from Word, then manipulating it further.
    Does anyone know how to allow for this text to exist in the header and still have a stable pdf file/acrobat behavior?
    The pdf is attached.
    Thanks....

    To sum up, I've found that if a url beginning with www is in the Word document and then created to pdf Adobe will crash when viewing that pdf.  If it is deleted from the Word document before creating the pdf, Acrobat will not crash when viewing that pdf.

  • Acrobat pro 9 - How do I reference the text in another textbox on another page?

    Near the top of each page on my form I have a text box that users are to enter their company name.  Unfortunately, there is the same information requested on each page in the form.  It is too far down to use a header, but I don't think you can place a field in the header.
    I know that you can use the Calculate tab to reference the numeric values of other fields, for mathematical purposes.  What I would like to do is: Have the other company name fields in the rest of document reference the first one so the user only has to enter it once.
    I have been searching and googling without success, and I even checked the manual but found no reference in the logical areas.  Can this be done with Acrobat Pro 9?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Gregory

    Huh.  Whaddya know, it does.  Such an easy solution.  And it is probably documented somewhere.  I guess I should have done more than skim through the manual.  Thanks Gilad.

  • Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

    When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
    in which I've selected 'NO border'
    Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
    I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three  - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
    Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
    On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
    Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
    I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

    This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
    We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
    This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
    Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
    Please fix this Adobe.
    and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
    If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
    Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
    I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
    Thanks
    Hope this is resolved soon.
