Acrobat X Standard--Typewriter Tool

I recently switched from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat X Standard. May those using the Standard version enable the typewriter tool for Reader? When I select Save As-Reader Extended PDF, it only gives the option for Enabling Forms Fill-In. When I saved my document, the typewriter tool was not activated for the users having access to Reader only. Thanks.

I have the Acrobat X Standard, the tool box no longer gives me the options I had before like splitting documents. Please help!

I have the Acrobat X Standard, the tool box no longer gives me the options I had before like splitting documents. Please help!

Was it AA X Std that you had these options in (sorry, I only have Pro)? If it was the trial (that is Pro), it may be that Std does not have to feature. Under XI at the Adobe site, there is a comparison of features between Std and Pro that might give you a hint.
There is also an option to turn on or hide many tools. For me there is a small icon just above the tools...comment titles. If you select that it give a list of tools you can display. Often, several are not displayed by default. How you lost them is another things, but it is getting them that is the basic question.

I have a Acrobat X Standard.
When I open the documents, I can't click the tool box. but when I don't open the documents, I can use the tool box.
To solve the problem,
1. reinstall the menu.
2. reboot the computer.
But, It still didn't work.
Plz help!!

Acrobat 9 Editing Typewriter tool

I can't get to my AA9 right now (recovering the HD), but in AA8 the tools appear to be grayed out, but they are still active. That may be the same appearance issue for you. Have you tried them? Of course, in AA8 only the font size and line spacing can be changed, not the font or color.
Sorry Bill.. had to start a new discussion because the blue Reply button did not function (any ideas on that?!)
Yes I tried clicking on the grayed tools but no response. Further to my question, I opened another pdf and was able to use Typewriter to type. However, this time the size and line spacing tools were grayed out, but I was able to change font and font size using the boxes on the right, which were mysteriously active in doc#2... the inconsistency doesn't make sense.. yet
Just turned up a most bizarre wrinkle to this issue.
I was using the typewriter tool in another document (Doc#2). This time the tools were not grayed out, and I was able to change the font, font size and font color at will. When I returned to the first document (Doc#1 -where the typewriter is active, but the tools all grayed out) and typed into the document I was very surprised to see that all the Typewriter settings from the Doc#2 were now applied to the Typewriter tool in Doc#1 !!! Go figure... By the way, this is all taking place in Windows XP 5.1

You may be viewing the document in PDF/A mode which turns off Typewriter and Forms editing. Don't ask me why; I just discovered it. Go to Edit --> Preferences on the tool bar and select the "Documents" category. On that window is PDF/A View Mode. Set the view mode to "Never" (view documents in PDF/A mode). See screen shot below. That fixed the problem for me; hope it works for you.

Acrobat 9 typewriter tool

In Acrobat 9 Standard, the typewriter tool controls; text
size, line spacing, and text color are grayed out.
Although I can use the typewriter tool, the text size and
color cannot be changed.
Should these controls be available in the Standard
version?

Thank you for your post.

How do I get more drawing tools for editing in Acrobat 9 standard?

I have Acrobat 9 Standard, and I am trying to edit architectural PDFs with the editing tools available. What I need is a way to create and save symbols, draw simple revisions, and generally apply a layer to indicate changes (a red line plan) for the architects and engineers I work with. They utilize this PDF to modify their DWG files and produce revised drawings. I do not want to train in Autocad if I can continue to utilize Adobe products to achieve the same goal. Acrobat gives me a lot of tools to work with, but I need more related to architectural drawing. I will upgrade or purchase another program if need be.

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac? Often I just want to label an item on a map that is in PDF and want to use a simple label rather than a Text Box for labeling, but have yet to find a way to increase the font size beyond 24. Can someone help me with this? - JML

Hi,
It appears that this was a bug that was introduced in the latest update. Others have been able to resolve this issue by using the Acrobat Cleaner tool to uninstall and then reinstall Acrobat. You might try this if you have a few spare moments.
And can you please share the problem PDF which was working correctly in the earlier version.
Thank you

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

Typewriter tool Acrobat 9

UPDATE 2:
Please see attached simpl scanned file.
When I first open it Typewriter tool works just fine.
If I extract a page from it, not deleting the page, then the typewriter tool only allows typing text and not modifying anything like spacing, etc.
Update:
Just ran a test:
1) I extracted the entire document to help enable the typewriter tool editi features. Tested the extracted file and everything works as expected.
2) I extracted one page out of this new document. The problem re-appeared.
So what it means is that when I extract a page the typewriter tool gets set to disable editing features.
Strange?
=================
Hello.
My office just upgraded us to Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 on our XP- Pro.
The Typewrighter tool works unpredictably. In some cases you can type text in but you are not allowed to change its size, spacing and so on. The features are dimmed out. I am working on a file with multiple sheets which are originally scanned into pdf. What I found out is when the problem comes up, if I extract all the sheets into another file the problem goes away and then comes back up after a while, requiring me to re-extract the entrie document.
I have checked file settings and the security setting is always set to none.
Some of the things I am doing to these files (engineering drawings) is I am cropping a portion of the drawing and then extracting that page, saving it into its own unique file. Then I am undoing the cropping and moving on to other things. In some cases I am placing annotations on the files. I don't beieve any of these activities should be causing unpredictable performance of the Typewriter tool.
I have searched KB and all over the internet and have not seen any doscussions on this.
I would appreciate any insight that anyone can bring to us.

Hi Anna.
I just updated to 9.2 and the problem still persists.
The test should not be on the extracted page/file. The test should be on the file the page was extracted from.
The bug is that the typewriter tool's features become disabled in a document once a page or pages have been extracted from it. The extraction seems to be causing the problem.
Can you try again to see if you can recreate the problem?
Thanks.

Adding interactive buttons in Acrobat X Standard disables the Commenting and markup tools

Why does adding interactive buttons to PDFs in Acrobat X Standard disable the Commenting and markup tools in the PDFs, but only when they are viewed in the Reader, not when opened in Acrobat? When the buttons are removed, the Commenting and markup tools are re-enabled in Reader.
Thank you.

Which version of Reader are you testing with?
