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?....

  • 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,

  • 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 XI - Hightlight text tool not working

    Just downloaded adobe XI and the hightlight text tool not working.  How can I get this to work.

    I guess you can always use the box tool in drawing markups to draw a box around the text then play with the colors until you get close to what you want.
    The only thing I don't like about that (besides it being a PITA) is that it covers the text with color as well where the highlight tool does not.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 w/ Autocad in XP Mode- not working

    I'm running Autocad Arch Desktop (ADT) in Windows XP Mode within Windows 7, and have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed in Windows 7.  Unfortunately, no "Adobe PDF"  pulldown was created within ADT once Adobe Pro was installed, and there isn't any sign of Adobe in ADT (normally, Adobe automatically installs pulldowns within ADT once installed).  Adobe and ADT function normally otherwise.  Does anyone know how to get Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 to recognize and work with ADT in Windows XP Mode?

    Can you tell me how to set the defaults to Courier 10pt font?  I tried select all and it's grayed out, but that was after the
    fact.  Where are the original default presets?
    Thank you in advance.

    but at this point if I try to manually uninstall (with add/remove program) i get an error message saying "cirtical errors during installation: program installation database is incorrect, reinstall from original support" (maybe not accurate as it's in french)
    same thing if i run manually the cleaner tool and go through the dialog.
    I don't know what else I can do, I've already spent a couple of hours with this issue.
    Any help / suggestion would be appreciated, thanks.         

    hi, thanks for your answer, actually this is what I have to do:
    I have to uninstall cs4 english to install it back in french. If I try reinstall with the french licence over the existing install, it starts in trial mode and ask for the licence.
    So if I follow your advice I should reinstall, uninstall, then reinstall ( and I have to do that on 30 computers, through SCCM, not manually)
    As you see it become quite complicated.
    An other suggestions?
    thanks    

  • How can I deactivate Adobe Acrobat 8 on a laptop with a monitor that does not work?

    Or is there some work-around I can use?  I got a new laptop and have reinstalled the program but I keep getting a pop-up that wants me to register it again.  I have but it keeps popping up.  I read in the user's guide for this version that "Note: If you want to install the software on a different computer, you must first deactivate the software on your computer: Choose Help > Activation > Deactivate."  I figure that that is what the problem is.  So now what do I do? It is a little hard to "choose" when the monitor is black.
    As an added complication I am now getting an error message on the pop-up that tell me "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet."  Help!!!
    I am currently using a Sony Vaio T Series Ultrabook now with Windows 8. My old laptop was a Compaq and was using Windows XP Home Edition.  It was about 10 years old.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Aimee

    Can you plug in a remote monitor? You may have to use the Fn key with the screen icon typically along the function keys to change to the external monitor. If that works, then do what you need. You might also try putting the HD in another machine and see if it works there.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 and new Canon 9000F Scanner Not Working

    Hi, folks I am pulling my hair out trying to get Acrobat to recognize the Canon 9000F scanner. I have downloaded the latest driver and still I am unable to get to see the darn thing.
    The scanner works great in the Canon scanner software and other devices but not Acrobat.
    When you go into Acrobat and do a Create a pdf and select scanner all are greyed out except custom and profiles, I have fiddled here with no luck.
    I had a HP scanner before and all options where there and worked great.
    Anyone know of any fixes for this?
    Cheers

    The scanner is just a few months old and it has never worked with Acrobat. The scanner works great with other apps like Photoshop CS5 as a WIA device, it also works in Windows native apps like the Windows Fax and Scan application but not under Acrobat 9.4.2. I use Win 7 64bit system.
    There is the WIA Canoscan  and a Canoscan 9000f listed and when you select either of these you get these messages.

  • 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,

  • Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

    Hi,
    the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
    Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
    Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

  • Downloading Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Student and Teacher Edition

    Hello! I just purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Student and Teacher Edition. I don't know how to find the product to download on my account, it seems not to be there. So I tried to license the trial version I have on my computer with the product key I got in the email. But then it is not possible because I tried a Swedish version. The version I bought was only possible to buy in English so there is a mismatch between them and nothing happens. The service is terribly bad, I have been in phone que both yesterday and today for one hour, it seems impossible to come through.
    Can someone help me?
