Add Text grayed out

Why is that in some pdf the add text under sign is grayed out and you can't add text, but others it works fine.  If I open the same PDF in acrobat the add text works fine.

Which version of Reader? If not XI then you can only add comments if the author applied the right to do so in Acrobat. But if you have Acrobat, why bother with Reader?

  • Add row grayed out

    Hello,
    I have a numbers spreadsheet which I created by importing a .CSV file . All the options to "add row" are grayed out. How can I add a row?

    Perhaps grayed out like this case with unselected table...

  • Edit User profile Property - grayed out buttons

    I am trying to change the mapping for the Work email property in the User Profile but when I edit the property on the "Edit User Profile Property" page, the Property Mapping for Synchronization's "Remove" button is grayed out as well
    as Add New mappings "Add" button. I am logged on with the Farm account which has admin rights to  the UP.

    Hi ,
    For the Add New Mapping's "Add" button grayed out, when I change to another/second "Synchronization Connection" from "Source Data Connection" dropdown, then "Add" button will be available.
    For the Property Mapping for Synchronization's "Remove" button grayed out,
    please make sure your Farm account or user account has the following permissions, then check results again.

  • Gray out or disable text box

    Hi,
         I have a drop down menu called CN_Entry_Initials that has options of a "C" or an "N". I also have a text box called Part_Number to enter a part number into. I want the Part Number text box to be grayed out or disabled until either a "C" or an "N" has been chosen out of the CN_Entry_Initials drop down menu. I have this working, except that I cannot get the Add button to do anything. I think it’s something to do with the way I have the If statement for this disabled text box, or do I have to change the button to a submit button. Does anyone know how to fix this? Below is the javascript and the drop down menu and text box code along with the Add or submit button. There is extra stuff in the Javascript that I have on the page, but I don't need to worry about those things since they are working correctly. I have the disabled text box code at the top of the javascript under the function verify() code. Thanks.

    I don't understand about using the alert box to output the variables. I know that everything was working with alert boxes, etc. before I added the code for the disable text box code. The difference I see is on the disable text box code I use document.getElementById and on the other code I use document.AddECNumber. Could this cause the Add button to not work? If so, how do I change this code to make it work? I tried just changing it be like the document.AddECNumber code, but that didn't work.

    Use graphics apps for images only.  DO NOT export HTML from Photoshop or Fireworks.  The result is table based code that precisely fits the image slices and nothing else.
    When you try to edit graphics app generated code in DW, your page layout will fall apart.

  • So, I have had the Ipod 4th generation for about a year now, and I have never had any trouble adding music onto my ipod until this latest version of itunes came out. Now, I cannot add any more music onto my ipod! I Have grayed out songs that I can't play

    So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

  • "Recognize Text Using OCR" Option Grayed Out in Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.1)

    Running Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.  I'm working with electronically filed court documents.  I regularly use the OCR tool (Document -> OCR Text Recognition -> Recognize Text Using OCR...) on these court documents.
    Problem is, every once in awhile, I'll run into a document where the "Recognize Text Using OCR" option is inexplicably grayed out.  I have no idea what is causing this.  I have checked the Document Properties and confirmed there are no security restrictions for the document.  It happens inconsistently, in that OCR will work with a document filed by an attorney in one case, but it won't work in the same kind of document filed by the same attorney in a different case.
    Any help getting OCR to work on these few rogue documents is appreciated!

  • Enable hyperlink grayed out for text in stand-alone text box

    I need to create hyperlinks to several webpages in my book.
    I am able to do this by selecting a few words of text in chapters that were "inserted from a Word document," but when I create a separate text box, the menu is grayed out. I have tried selecting the whole text box as well as carefully selecting just the text. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    You're right dabienwa. If you select the text and it has a tight box around it inside the text box, then it's a box within a box. You can't hyperlink these. Deleting all the contents and entering them again solved it for me.
    I discovered this when creating a new text box for a template, and entering some default text that I knew I wanted on every corresponding page. In my case it was "www.domain.com/" allowing me to fill in the remainder on each page and then hyperlink it.
    I ended up deleting the text from the template so I wouldn't get the box-within-a-box problem, and pasting the common text in on every page. I could then actually make the hyperlink text a hyperlink.

  • Want to forward ports, but 'add' and 'default host' are grayed out! help!

    Hey folks. Configuring my laptop to access a new airport express plugged in one floor below me. great signal connection works fine, but of course it isn't forwarding ports i want... so I go to set it up... now, the owner of the house set it up first, but he told me the password so I could futz with it... now when i pull up the base station config in airport admin, the relevant options are grayed out! The whole section in which default host option is located is grayed out, as are all the buttons e.g. 'add' on the forward ports tab! I've tried doing all the tricks I can think of; if anyone has any insight as to where to look to fix this, I'd appreciate it enorm.

    Copy these commands into TextEdit, replace the bracketed part with your username and the quoted parts with the ext HD's name, retaining the quotes.
    sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
    sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
    Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities, copy and paste the first one into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key. Copy & paste the other two, one at a time, following each with hitting the return key. You won't get the password prompt, since the initial one's good for five minutes.
    Quit the Terminal app and you should be able to read and write to the ext HD.

  • Add (+) search criteria grayed out

    When searching in a finder window, the normal ( +) button to add search criteria is disabled. I thought maybe I had a corrupt preference file, so I trashed all the .plist files that seemed to relate to the finder. Whe I restarted, the button was back, but only for a few minutes. After that, it went back to being disabled.
    It looks like this attached image, with the button grayed out, and a ( - ) instead of a ( + ).
    The problem is isolated to my primary user account. Others on the same machine are unaffected.
    I looked over the discussion boards, and can't find anyone else with this problem, but maybe I don't know the right terminology. Any help would be appreciated.
    What am I missing?

    I narrowed it down further. This finder bug only appears when I use Command-N or click the Finder icon in the dock to create a new window.
    If I double click any folder icon or drive on the desktop, the finder window that pops up has the ( + ) icon enabled, exactly as it should. What is going on?

  • "Add New Printer" can't finish setup...grayed out

    Can anyone please help me with this?
    I have a Brother MFC-290c multifunction USB'ed into my Extreme Gigabit. It shows up there in Airport Utility.
    Upon printer setup in the Preferences Pane I click the + symbol to add a new printer. The Brother shows up at that point and where it is connected but the "Add" button is grayed out as though I need to select a driver as well yet there is no driver suitable in the drop down list. Do I need to install my Brother driver onto my Powerbook before this will work?
    The setup guide makes no mention of this in the section on adding a printer.

    Congratulations, you have just entered the crappy side of Apple, Leopard. I have the same problem with my HP 5510 attached to my Extreme 802.11n. It works great form my little powerbook running Tiger (the best OS I have ever used), but me and my wife just bought new Macs and of course both have leopard and neither will print. We have the same no river in list issue. I have spent countless hours trying to fix personally and with both Apple and HP. Both sugest that I spent even more money to purchase a new Printer that will work. Yeah so it will no longer work when Sow leopard comes out... Thanks Apple/HP...
    Sorry, to here about the bad luck... I'd like to suggest doing a Google on Cups and Gutenprint although I am not sure if anyone is supporting these anymore.

  • "Create outlines" grayed out for text-- what is the RIGHT option??

    Hey all,
    So here's what happened. I created an image for a print template in PS (which I use all the time) and then used file-place to bring the image into the AI version of the template. (I don't use AI very often...) I knew that it might not be a good idea to bring in the text, so I didn't. Instead, I recreated the text in AI, selecting it with the text tool to change font size, etc. Each of the three pieces of text is on a separate outline. The next step is supposed to be to convert the text to outlines, but you guessed it, the "create outlines" option is grayed out.
    The text is Titre font (I tried a few others and it didn't seem to make any difference.) The version for both PS and AI is CS5.
    I've spent a lot of time searching for the solution online, but the problem is that there seem to be about a gazillion different possible options for what might work. Given the parameters here (created text in AI, selected with text tool, using separate layers), which is actually the RIGHT solution??
    This artwork is for prizes for a writing contest (custom mugs), and it's supposed to be in by Wednesday-- HELP is greatly appreciated!!
    (P.S.: This isn't my first post!! I'm not sure why the forums are listing it that way.)

    Realnise,
    No, if you have three separate instances of Type, as it seems, for each of these you have to make sure it is selected in its entirety.
