Adobe Hangs using measure tool

I am using Adobe reader ver 11.0.09 and my computer freezes for about 30 seconds when I use the measure tool after I select the first point, and this is only the first time using after I use it once it works fine.

Hello Emma,
It works ok for me here. Where are you reading the measurement? (Info Panel? Ruler Tool Option Bar?)
Is your Photoshop up to date?

How to have measurement tools in a 3D pdf in acrobat reader ?

hello,
I have the trial version of acrobat 9 pro extended
I work with 3D content in pdf file
I try to use measurement tool in adobe reader 9 but is not activated.
When I create my pdf 3D file in acrobat 9 pro extanded, I have the measurement tool but not with adobe reader with the same pdf file
I find nothing in help file
could you help me ?
regards

You can extend some of the PDF capabilites, such as 3D Measurement and Commenting, by using one of the following methods:
With the PDF open, go to Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader...
-or-
With the PDF open, go to Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader...
Either one of these will make the PDF behave the way you want it to. I'm not sure exactly what the differences are, but my impression is that the latter gives the Reader user a few more priveleges. I could be wring. This can probably be clarified by the Help system.

I have Elements 12. It's an upgrade in most respects from the old CS2 I used for years. Except there is apparently no measuring tool. How can this be; is there a plug-in, or will Adobe fix the problem?

Hello again. When I said PSE 12 was an upgrade on CS2, I meant that simply from an informal point of view - and it is: it's better software in most respects. In expert mode, the features and functions are much the same as in the CS2 I had before, but enhanced and slicker. Less 16 bit colour depth and a few other things of course. Unfortunately, as it now transpires, the "few other things" has turned out to include the measuring feature.
Thanks for the work-around - only problem is ... to what Info Panel are you referring when using the line tool? I've looked around but can't see the line length being shown anywhere. Thanks in advance for any light you might be able to cast on it.
Incidentally, I upgraded my written-off Canon D5 MK II with a D6. To me it's an upgrade - it's a much better camera - though by the letter of the law, the strict upgrade path would be to a 5D MK III. One can use the word "upgrade" in this informal (but entirely meaningful) sense, I hope, without being sent to prison!!

Enable Measuring Tool for Use in Reader X

I created a Geo-spatial PDF using ESRI's ArcGIS. I opened the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro X and made some minor cosmetic changes. In Acrobat Pro X I was able to use all the geospatial tools including the measuring tool. I saved the changes to the PDF.
I now want to send the PDF to another person who only has Adobe Reader X and want them to have the functionality to use the measuring tool to measure buildings ect. Currently they can see and use the object data tool, and the geospatial location tool, but not the measuring tool. Is there anything else I need to do in Acrobat X to allow a Reader user to access this tool?
Thanks

Yes, you need to save the PDF as Reader Extended PDF in Acrobat X. This can be done from File>Save As>Reader Extended PDF>Enable Commenting and Measuring. This file will give the Measuring Tool option in Adobe Reader X.

Where can I find information about using the measurement tool and log?

Am try to use the measurement tool to measure perspective plain; any ideas?

No one can remotely have "any ideas" to help you when you don't even mention what your problem is nor what your system and workflow are like.
Of course, when you post here,one assumes you have done your due diligence, read the documentation, the user guide, the Help files in the Photoshop Help menu, as well as done Google and forum searches, etc, and we would expect some sensible, detailed information from you.
Teaching someone Photoshop from scratch, step by step, exceeds the scope of this forum—or any other forum.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Adobe Elements 7 have a Measuring Tool?

Just installed adobe elements 7 and am looking for the measuring tool that in previous versions was located with eyedropper. We use it for making angular measurements between two intersecting lines. While Elements has a straightening tool, this will automatically reposition my image depending on what line I draw, but will not allow me to make my measurements. Does anyone know where measuring tool is now located?
Thanks for your help.

A workaround in Elements is to use the line tool with the info palette open. As you draw the line, the info palette will display the line's length and angle. (Make a note of the angle/line length before releasing the mouse button as this info disappears once you release the mouse button.) Edit: Alternately, you could drag out your line at the desired angle and use it as a guide.
If you only need the length and height, drag out a rectangular marquee around the object to be measured. The info palette will display the marquee's width and height.

I have designed a report using IReport tool with some text as BOLD, which generates report in PDF format. when i open the file with Adobe Reader IX it opens perfectly.

Is there a non-confidential example of this PDF that we could view?

Using a javascript to change the font size used by the measurement tool

A couple years ago I saw a javascript written that would allow me to chang the font size used by the measurement tool in Acrobat 9. When the IT department deliverd my new laptop with Acrobat X Pro, they had wiped out the script and I am not expert enough to recreate it from scratch. Any suggestions? I believe it was in an older post by Dave Merchant, but I truly can't find the post or a way to recreate the script. Thanks for any help.

Executing this code from the JS console will change the font size of all the Measurement annotations to 20. You can change the value in the first line to use a different font size:
var newTextSize = 20;
this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
for (var i in annots) {
    var annot = annots[i];
    if (annots[i].type=="Line") {
        var richText = annot.richContents;
        for (var i in richText) {
            richText[i].textSize = newTextSize;
        annot.richContents = richText;

My batch feature in bridge has disappeared completely after update, I uninstalled everything adobe CC using the cleaner tool

My batch feature in bridge has disappeared completely after update, I uninstalled everything adobe CC using the cleaner tool.
I sue the batch feature for my job everyday to batch multiple images with a custom action, I need this feature back ASAP
Iam on a new 27 IMAC OSX 10.9.4
Adobe CC 2014 newest version completely up to date.

The cleaner tool doesn't touch presets, templates or other user data. All it does is flush the installer database to remove blockages. The last time it actualyl deleted any files and folders was with CS3. so whatever you did, you may have hit the wrong button. And while I underrstand your frustration, the download pages states that you are advised to backup your data, regardless...

Hi -graffiti
Thank you again for your 10.24 post. I tried your suggestions today. The university computer lab i use has Adobe Acrobat Pro 6. The OCR function is under the dropdown menu "Documents>>Paper Capture". This permits conversion a scanned page to searchable text. Before beginning it asks you to select 1 of 2 Settings defined as: "Primary OCR Language English", or "PDF Output Style: Searchable Image (Exact)". That is the only choice to be made before conversion begins. After the conversion you can review and correct suspect words on captured pages. I tried both choices and regardless of which ended up with a document that was searchable, but still would not permit highlighting (I selected text with the highlight tool, clicked and dragged over a captured page, and nothing happened, same result as my earlier post). If I search for a particular word, all occurrences become shade-highlighted but if I expressly attempt to highlight a word with the highlighter it won't do it.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I might further massage the data?

How to free rotate an area that has been measured using the measurement tool.

I've measured and area using the measurement tool on one pdf drawing and now want to copy and paste it in to another pdf drawing and rotate it in to position. Is this possible?

Object>Expand Appearance. Then proceed to Ungroup, release clipping paths, etc., to further dissect it. Exact steps will depend upon the specific artwork.

Hi there - I think I am having problems associated withg Cause 9 in that in google mail I have another pop email address associated so that I can send using this email address, but then I have both addresses setup seperately in BIS. When I receive a mail from GMAIL I receive a duplicate with "received by: unknown" in the header. I had gmail setup so that it would send using by pop email address as default.
In your answer the settings for the two filters you recommend creating are broken links and I canot actually see them. What are they?
Also What do you recommend setup wise with gmail and a pop account. Some people say it is better to get gmail to receive the pop mail account and run the whole account from there. Blackberry doesn't seem to like this setup very much. Should I completely dissociate the pop account and to try and clarify the distinction between the two? Or should I setup a second gmail account and have that poll my pop account and then have the blackberry feed off these two gmail accounts? The reason I am considering this option is gmail provides a lot of storage and online continuity and this would effectively persist my account.
Your help would be much appreciated.. I have had blackberry woes now for over a month and I have spent hours with various support personel, tried deleteing and sending down new service books etc etc but had no luck yet.
thanks,
Nathan

I used the tool to take a picture of my adobe document. Where can I retrieve that picture?

I used the tool to take a picture of my adobe document. Where can I retrieve that picture?

Hello adobe191,
In order to take a picture of your PDF document, you might have selected "Edit > Take a Snapshot"
Then, click anywhere on the page and drag a rectangle around the entire content displayed (including both text and images) showing a dialog box:
Once you click OK, your selection gets automatically copied on the clipboard when you release the mouse button.
You can then paste it into another application (say MS Paint) or any other target document.
Hope this information helps.
