Acrobat X Pro Ctrl E option for Edit Document Text tool

Hi,
When I use the "Edit Document Text" tool (formerly TouchUp Text) in Adobe X Pro and press Ctrl E, it's saying "Properties No current selection".
However, pressing Ctrl E on other tools such as Comments, Link etc, the Properties toolbar is showing properly. And when I switch back into using the "Edit Document Text" tool, the Properties toolbar will show as grayed out.
I tried using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and it's doing the same thing.
Is the Ctrl E Properties toolbar is not really available for "Edit Document Text" tool? Do I really have to right click on the area and choose Properties?

Hi gracet41265898,
Please refer the page associated with this Link (Unable to access Acrobat's Tool properties toolbar (greyed out, or "no current selection") ).
Please let me know if this resolves your issue or in case your problem persists.
Regards,
Rahul

What controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?

Hi, I have had a student ask me a question I cannot answer: what controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?
I have only seen it appear as a black semicircle over each letter, but at a different computer in our training facility, this same tool appears as an aqua-green highlight.
Is it a preference I never noticed? Thanks for any info.

What version of Acrobat? What operating system?

Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.0 Edit Document Text tool not working

Hi Adobe People
I am suing Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.0. I have a document open and I would like to delete a sentence.
So I click on tools and navigate to Edit Document Text.
I highlight the sentence I would like to delete. I press delete and nothing happens. I go to the tool bar at the top and click on edit and the only option it will give me is to copy.
What am I not getting here. I have no idea what is the problem and I am unsure how to solve it.
FYI I want to edit the content in the PDF because I do not have the original source file.
Thanks

I'm stumped.
I found the original source file. It is a word file. I edited one page in word.
Then I opened the original file and I clicked on Tools, navigated to Pages and clicked on Insert from File.
I got the following message
"This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Adobe Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), Click Save a Copy.
So I do just that.
I try to do the same thing with a saved copy of the document and now it won't give me the option to Insert from File.
I neet to insert a page becuse this is a long document with many text boxes. It was originally created in word. Then converted to a PDF. I do not want to recreate all of these text boxes.
Ugh...
Anyone?....

Embed fonts using the Edit Document Text tool

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7c75.w.h tml

Thanks Steve. I guess it shouldn't be a problem then. Both of the documents would have been created by aperture and therefore be of the same resolution to start with.
One more question if I might: I'm test-driving Acrobat Pro (don't know much about it yet). I've been using Acrobat standard for simple things like adding/replacing pages. Would Acrobat standard save at the same quality of the original document or is there some loss of quality there versus using Acrobat Pro?
Thanks again,
Michael

I have just transferred my iTunes library from a hard drive previously connected to a windows laptop to a MacBook Pro and now all my options for editing info are greyed out. I have seen the answers if still using windows but could find a similar situation

if my external hard drive is not connected to either of my machines, and I download something onto my iMac and then something different onto my Macbook, where are my machines going to be storing the new downloaded media
when the drive is not connected, +iTunes media folder location+ will default back to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)
and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct? I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct? Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?

"I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct?"
We have no idea, and it isn't really our thing.
"I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct?"
Acrobat XI Pro is available for Mac and is an excellent tool for making PDFs. We can't say whether it will work with the scanner. It depends what drivers Epson provide.
"Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?"
That's not what Acrobat is for. It is for making PDFs. To make handwritten documents into Word documents, you'd just scan as graphics, and insert each graphic on a new page of the Word document. They will remain pictures of text, not something you can edit or copy/paste.

How to disable Details option for a Document in KM?

Hi,
   I had created a Folder by enabling Versioning and Lifetime ,under public documents and i had uploaded a word file under that folder.I had given read permissions to the other user .He is able to open the document with read permission and is able to see the version of the document.Now for the user whom i have given read rights should be able to acess only current version document and he should not be able to see the previous versions(Details->Settings->Versions).
     I want to disable the "Details" option for a document for the user to whom i had given read Rights.if possible i want to deavtivate the "Down Arrow" mark which guides the user to see the options like (Details,feedback,rating,send to,create link etc)
    Please guide me in this issue.

Hi,
Let's first create our custom layoutset:
We will duplicate the ConsumerExplorer layoutset.
goto System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management.
Select User Interface -> Settings -> Layout Set.
Find ConsumerExplorer, check it and click Advanced Copy.
Uncheck Collection Renderer Settings and Resource Renderer Settings leaving only UI Command Groups checked.
select Group Levels to Copy: All, Add "my_" As Prefix and execute.
You have created a new layout set called my_ConsumerExplorer.
Now we need to copy the versions command.
Navigate back to User Interface -> Commands -> UI Commands. find the command versions. Check it and click Duplicate. give it the name my_versions, leave the rest as is and add to the Roles with Visibility the roles you want to be able to see this command. for example: "pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role" for super admin role. Save the new command.
Now navigate to UI Command Groups, find my_DetailsSettingsSecondGroup and click edit. in the Command List find versions and change it to my_vesions and save.
Now all you have left is to change the layoutset of the iView.
goto Content Administration -> Portal Content. Navigate to your iView, open it, find the property Layout Set and change its value to my_ConsumerExplorer. Save.
Now test it to see if it works.
Best regards,

Editing document text in Acrobat 10.1.9 - Black boxes!

Thanks!

Hi kasey102,
Possibly the fonts used in the pdf do not exist on your system.
Is the behaviour true for any pdfs?

Best practice: interface for editing documents

Hello
I use IDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.3.0, ADF Faces
I have got a task to create a web interface for editing documents.
Every document have a head and a specification.
Head have a lot of field, and every row in a specification have a lot of fields also.
There are few PL/SQL procedures I need call to save document in the database, and I need to call them in the single transaction for it.
So, I need to fill up all document and only after that save it to the database.
For fill up some of fields I need to use component like List of Values (with autoSuggestBehavior and with selecting value from the list).
There is next question: what is the best practice to develop interface like this?
I had some troubles when I tried to use ADF BC.
May be, there are tutorials?
Will be very thankful for any advices or links.

Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?

Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?
I can deselect it with the magic wand but not with the quick selection. Any ideas?
thanks,

I don't think you can, but in the refine edge dialog you can use the contrast setting to get rid of most of the anti-alias.

'Edit Document Text' in Adobe Reader XI

There is 'Edit document text' in Acrobat Pro X to get the properties of the text like font name, size. Does Adobe Reader XI has this option. If not, how can we get the text properties in Reader XI.

Not available in Adobe Reader.

Cannot edit document text

I selected Edit Document Text under Tools | Content | Edit Text & Objects. I place my cursor on the pdf and nothing happens. I then thought that the problem might be that Acrobat does not recognize the text. So I enabled OCR. I then placed my cursor before the text I wanted to change, typed, and nothing happened. The cursor did move to the right, but no new text appeared and the underlying text remained unchanged.
How can I edit the text?

To see changes, you have to have OCR'd with Clearscan. If you used either of the Searchable Text options, then you would only change the hidden text (I have not tried that) and the picture of the original would remain unchanged.

Acrobat X1 pro 'bought and paid for' suddenly turned to Trial Version

this is what I'm seeing each time I try to open a pdf file or convert a file to pdf. I purchased Acrobat X1 pro Jan 2014 and suddenly today, Aug 9/14 this is what is happening.
Adobe, what is going on? What do I do now?

I'm having the same problem - however I may know a possible cause - otherwise I have no idea how to prevent the non stop requests (OK several per day) to license my already bought and paid for Acrobat Pro 11, some time back without problems - until recently.
The possible cause? For many months - I would have to check - I have been using the test/trial version of the next Acrobat. When a build came along that was not easy to use (M7 icon troubles) I decided to uninstall the test version and reinstall the bought/licensed Acrobat Pro 11, that I had been using before the 'test version' without any troubles.
Alas the problem with having to license the program Acrobat Pro 11 pops up often at the most inconvenient times (preventing saving of edits for example, which I have to do again).
I'm using Windows 8 (not upgraded to 8.1 but otherwise up to date) 64 bits. As mentioned, using the first install of Acrobat Pro 11 (before uninstalling to test the new version of Acrobat) was unproblematic. Thanks for any help.
