Adobe professional 8 "White out unwanted text"

Hi,
Need a little help, I have a receipt for something that I need to forward to another person and want to just "White out" the dollar amounts. I can't figure out how to do this without it showing me as editing something or it being a fill in text box. Is it my settings? Any help would be appreciated.

Use the Redaction Tool.

Filling out pdf forms using adobe professional 6.0

I am trying to complete a form that is only available in pdf format. The form has lines where you are supposed to enter your information. I am using Adobe Professional 6.0. The "touch up text tool" allows me to add the text, but it removes the lines on the form. Using the line tool, I am able to underline the text I enter, but the line doesn't print out. If I try to printing with the "print with comments" option, it prints the line, but it also includes a comment with each of the lines. I read that the later versions of Adobe Professional have a "typewriter tool"--which seems like exactly what I need. Is there anything similar to that available for the Adobe Professional 6.0. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your input. I found the best way to enter the information into the form was to use the "text field" tool(under tools, advanced editing, forms). I had to change the properties for the text field a little, so that the information would show up correctly on the form. Thanks again!

Adobe Acrobat. Change "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, ..." also for highlights made before changing the setting

I am looking for a solution to apply the "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" setting to highlights that I made before I changed this setting.
Someone wrote a batch for this which costs 60 dollar and this seems to do what I am looking for: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Retroactively Copy Highlighted Text into Comments
Where can I find Adobe's solution for this problem? I do not want to buy external batches for a professional software suit.
I expect that this is a common problem for people who start to organize a large literature base with many pdfs and must keep track of highlighted text. I was not previously aware of the "Copy selected..."setting, but I need to change it now for all my pdf files to make them compatible with a reference manager that I want to use. New comments are now compatible, but the hundreds(!) of pdfs that I worked through before are not, so copy pasting the highlighted text into comments is not an option.

TouchUp Text Tool on Adobe Professional 8.0

I am trying to add text to a document using the TouchUp Text Tool on Adobe Professional 8.0. When I go to "Help" to get directions on performing this task, it say to select the TouchUp Text tool, then Ctrl-click where I want to add text. A "New Font dialog box" should appear.
The problem is, when I Ctrl-click where I want to add text, nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong, and what should I be doing instead?

Trying to reorder text so that an Indesign created PDF reads correctly on Adobe Acrobat's Read Out L

I am trying to get a document to be read in the correct order by Adobe Acrobat's Read Out Loud function. I am using Indesign CS2 and creating a PDF file to be read by Adobe Acrobat Version 7.
I followed directions from sources online. I added all untagged items into the Structure window. I added alternative text to all the graphics fine. And the text areas are tagged as story. I then created a PDF used the Read out loud function, and it reads it all wrong! I then thought that by changing the hierarchy order of the tags that it would follow that list. But no! it still reads the same. I have tried a lot of things to get it to read right. I fiddled around with the acrobat preferences and now it just reads the alternative text?
I need help.

I haven't used it, but I think you need to use Acrobat's TouchUp Reading Order tool. I think that existed in Acrobat 7. Here's the accessibility page for Acrobat 9 on Adobe.com:

If necessary, it might be necessary to upgrade to Acrobat 9 Pro.

Again: How to fade in and out a text in a loop?

Hi, you all,
with a little help from my friends I could get a text fade out with jQuery. Once the animation is complete, the text should fade in again and then fade out and so on.
Whatever I try, I get syntax errors. So finally I did not get any further than that: http://www.3amdesign.de/Unbenannt-8.html
Thanks for your help,
Alex

Hi Brad,
look at this page: http://www.3amdesign.de/en/index.html
It looks like a chess-board with a menu bar on the left and and 20
"empty" fields . The white fields show text only on mouse-over.
The results of google analytics suggest that our homepage is not
attractive enough. Unless you start to move with the mouse over the
page, nothing happens.
That is why we want to put some animation to the page by fading in and
out text in different rectangles at different times. The ideal case
woud be to be able to link each word if necessary to a different page.
The other goal to reach would be to substitute the images that show
the text with "real" text in order to be "readable" for the search
engines and thus reach better ranking positions.
I hope I could get the idea clear and would be happy if there was a
solution suitable for someone basically unexperienced in coding...
Thank you a lot,
Alex

How to create form fields in Adobe Professional version 8

Hello,
I have been trying for some time now to get a form in place. I have used an existing form and I am working in Adobe Professional version 8.
I went to tools, forms and than I thought I had to click on text field tool. But than it asks me to name the text field. I want to keep the name fields blank and have them completed by the persons I will send it to (or actually this form will be posted online). The other persons should be able to open, complete, save and return it by email.
please advise me what to do.
Your help section brings me all the time to the Life Cycle which I think is not appropriate for the purpose I need it.

Thank you for your advises but I have the impression my initial question is still not being answered.
I have tried to create the fields in Adobe Pro 8 version, via forms, text field tool and named all the fields.
Than I saved it and enabled the usage rights for Adobe Reader but opening this file from another computer in Adobe Reader, it allows me only to add comments and markups in the document, not filling out the form in the form fields I thought I created before?
Now what to do? Did I do something wrong with the creation of form fields, can you please describe the exact path/steps to take?
Appreciate your prompt reply.

White out? Cut? Hide?

I work with a lot of Cad files. Recently we have been scanning the old hand drawn drawings into PDF format. On occasion we have to do simple editing on them and I do it in AutoCad. Usually the edit is just to hide a part or update some text. I insert the pdf and use AutoCad's "Wipeout" to cover the area or text, then insert the vector changes. However, Inserting these scans into AutoCad really bogs down the software. Is there a similar tool to wipeout in Acrobat? Or is there any way to cut out or hide and area of a document so the edit just make white space?

Acrobat Professional includes a Redaction process. This is not erasing or white out is is complete removal of the item. But the entire process needs to be completed.

My "select, edit.."are white out and how can I get to reset them back so I can edit my photos?

Issues with Adobe Professional 9

Hi
We are facing some issues with Adobe Professional 9,
The problems are as follows while converting the DOC file to PDF using Adobe Proff 9.
1) Bullets are missing
2) Crossreferences are not working
3) adding junk characters in header.
Can you please help me on this.
We need to understand the issue.
Manohar S S

Just some stray thoughts on the topic:
Use Adobe PDFMaker to create the PDF from the MS Word file.
When a MS Word cross-reference is inserted, ensure that "Insert as hyperlink" is ticked in the Cross-reference dialog.
In the configuration of Adobe PDFMaker's Preferences, ensure "Add Links" is ticked (under the Settings tab).
Ensure that the installed Acrobat (and associated Adobe PDFMaker) is working with a compatible version of Office.
See: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html
For all characters used in the source MS Word file; ensure that the characters used provide proper mapping to Unicode.
Do not use characters that rely upon a restricted character value.
When using Word Headings/Styles that incorporate the bullet character, ensure you work from those that are "built-in" to MS Word.
If you are working out of Windows 7 / Office 2010 you need to move up to Acrobat X.
Be well...

Lightroom 3 - The worst program Adobe has ever put out...

If anyone cares to read this, I will be the first to say DO NOT UPGRADE!!
I am spreading the word - facebook, word of mouth, every professional photographer in LA I know, blogs, etc.
You gotta raise hell to get changes.
Lets see if Adobe will do anything about these issues...
I thought that Adobe created "beta" for a reason - to smooth out all the kinks before they put the disk out. Nope.
I have been waiting for them to put out updates on many issues since I purchased the disk a month ago.... Still waiting Adobe!!!
It is excruciating to watch my photos take literally 4-5 minutes to open. Even worse, is the time it takes to save from Photoshop CS5 back to Lightroom - I timed 14min. FOR A PHOTO!
I feel like the old days when I rendered video - went out to get a coffee, and came back to find the spinning of wheel of death still spinning.
Oh, and I got to talk to India today too! for 3.5 hours - with no resolution to my problems.
Susheel accessed my computer remotely - saw my catalog - sees 73,000 images, and asks "are you a photographer?" REALLY?! DId you REALLY just ask me that Susheel??
Why I HATE Lightroom 3 - let me count the ways:
1. Adobe closed their tech support in Portland (whom I have spoken to many times, and ALWAYS got my problems resolved. They always went above & beyond the protocol - and we sit here and wonder why the US economy is crashing), now you get a no-name person in India or in the philippines (who have no extension, no email, not even a direct line so when you sit on a call for 3.5 hours and need to call back you are starting all over again.. Dear Adobe - do we live in 1980?? You are suppose to be a LEADER in technology.
I am morally against outsourcing, my artwork is all about the death of american industrial capitalism. In a time when the US is in crisis, Adobe works on moving things out of the US. I'm outraged - You can't get someone in the US EVEN IF YOU TRIED! The best I could do was talk to someone in sales about this - wow. What does that say - American's "look good and sound good to sell our product, but when it comes to something advanced in technology like using the product and trouble shooting, we prefer to use someone with no extension in another country"
2. They don't offer support for anyone who is running off a network (they expect professionals to be working off their local "c" drive or Mac internal hard drive. HA!!
3. They continued to blame my network - even though my network is running smoothly, has no limitations on access, will open directly into photoshop just fine (and quick!), worked absolutely perfectly in Lightroom 2.... Yeah, it's the network, riiight.
4. Lightroom 3 is corrupting files when opening into Photoshop CS5 - if I'm lucky enough to open them
5. When I do get a photograph open, it loses it's filters once saved back into Lightroom (I rate my photos to help me navigate through the masses) - this really is hurting my workflow. When I shoot 800 images in the studio in one day - I DO NOT want to go back and fish around to find the edited version that lost its flag...
6. I have been promised to get a phone call "sometime next week" since there is no extension I can call back on to move forward. I'll keep you updated - let you know if Susheel keeps his word. He couldn't tell me who was going to call me, or when, but he "assures" me it will happen.
I wont hold my breath

Yep, everything is always someone else's fault. It's never because they've made a stupid decision to buy before making absolutely sure that the software will work for them.
Seems like nobody is prepared to take responsibility for their own actions these days.
So, by that logic Adobe does not have to take ANY responsibility for pushing this kludge out the door? Given they had a RC ready almost INSTANTLY after release should be sufficient to show they KNEW they were pushing garbage out the door. Adobe is indeed responsible for their offering a know buggy product, bugs which CROSS PLATFORMS so it has to be the core code design not the user hardware or anything a given user has done. Sure some systems might have setups which help make these issues more apparent, but that is on Adobe to deal with as they should publish limitations and known configurations which can potentially induce greater problems...but these entail an admission and accepting responsibility for the original buggy release...btw, release notes used to be where one would find quirks info and how to work around them post system requirements being carved in stone and set to entice the lowest common denomonator user.
One more thing...LR is marketed not as a PRO TOOL, it is sold as a tool for the average to hobby level photographer. That is also has huge appeal to the pro market is a happy accidentally-on-purpose thing...but to berate people who don't feel it's their job to troubleshoot a commercial app is completely unreasonable...but anymore the US consumer is the largest beta tester group on the planet...I wonder how our EU counterparts are fairing as ironically, they have stronger consumer protection laws...try pushing a crap product out in the German market...heh-heh, yeah good luck with that.
Actually I would say this is not the worst software Adobe has ever pushed out the door but perhaps the worst photography software they ever sent as RTM. Many, many PDF related apps and utils have actually been worse and we won't get into what they have done to Flash and Dreamweaver after that acquisition. The closest analog I can see if that of what happened to Norton products post Norton being purchased by Symmantec.
However, I am willing to give Adobe time to address this because they did have the RC ready almost right away. Should they have done this? No way, but perhaps the marketing wonks put the company in the position where it had to meet the release date even if issues were discovered and fixes in the pipeline already and it was gonna be a 3-9 week delay before the issues were mostly fixed. But they did and well, even those who ran the beta, ran the 30-day trial did not find the issues because they simply did not use that part of the program enough for the bugs to manifest their effects to the degree when you the user, realize something odd is happening.
I too am pissed, beyond belief as I depend on LR for my business, I can, however work around it for a while but I don't make money as a photographer I use photography for my business so the issues, while causing huge levels of frustration, are not fatal....yet...all I know is I don't want to revert to LR2.7 because I have done so much work onLR3/ LR3.2RC already and the tools themselves are indeed superior in LR3.x....when they work and that is the rub. So many here are telling those with these bugs affecting their income/workflow bought into this to save time and leverage the bestter NR/sharpening and I say much improved adjustment tools. I don't use the lense profiles at all really so nothing special for me there.
I would ask a question...I am sure this has been asked and answered but, eh, why not one more time because search is sooooo "haaaard"
but does this issue affect all file types? I am shooting DNG but can switch to PEF if needed and convert on import but would rather just shoot DNG. I am not willing to switch to JPG because if I have to do this I give up too much control on my images, for that I would switch back to LR2.7.
Also, what versions of Camera RAW were used in the beta and what versions are being used with LR3. I know I did upgrade to ACR6.2(?) or whatever the most current version. I understand there are a ton of factors at play in these bugs but I do doubt it's ACR as my old antique PS CS3 version of Photoshop does not have any problems, of course it's using the old version of ACR 4.6(?) again sorry I forget what version exactly but it's trivial and can be determined.
I like LR because I don't need the advanced features of PS all that often, still PS is a fun tool to have as a backup for the complicated shots though I don't have time to really spend in it as I would like to...
But in general I guess I am trying to say, Adobe had to know in advance of the RTM original LR3 because they had the RC ready almost instantly. Of course past releases of LR also had the same experience just the bugs were, well, not as impactful I suppose. I have been happy with LR since 1.x versions but this version is painful to support...and I as I previously posted I won't screw with Adobe's refund people, likely off-shored staff who get bonuses for talking customers OUT of getting a refund, I will simply file a chargeback with Mastercard...that is why I use it, so I don't have to let companies waste my time wading through their red-tape. And btw, Adobe knows the customer will WIN any chargeback because this evidence of a known to be defective product was sold to the consumer and the customer even allowed the mfg to remediate the issue only they failed to deliver in a timely fashion. So, if one is not happy just "go to the mattresses"...use the chargeback hammer. The bonus is every chargeback granted to the consumer costs the retailer, Adobe in my case, $35 when they lose...

I was able finally to delete unwanted text boxes in my document; however, now my second page is missing and there are several following pages in a language that appears to be Latin. What sin have I committed and how do I atone to get my second page back?

I was able finally to delete unwanted text boxes in my Pages document; howver, the result is that the 2nd page of my document is missing and there are now several following pages in a language that appears to be latin. What sin have I committed and how do I atone?

10 marks for recognising the Latin (sort of) that is the placeholder text in your template.
You are using a Word Processing template. WP templates have content flowing from page to page. As one page fills up, a new one is created. If some of that text is deleted or displaced the pages retract.
When you combine text, invisibles like word spaces, returns, tabs, page breaks etc with objects that have text wrap set, the mix can behave in an apparent odd fashion.
Start with showing where everything is:
Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
Start with getting rid of any excess returns you may have used to "position" things. Next cut and paste objects like textboxes, shapes, charts and tables "Inline" ie in as part of the text. If necessary also turn off text wrap on objects or minimise it so that doesn't push text completely out of the way.
Insert Section breaks in the Text where you want fixed breaks in the layout these will provide separation between layout on different pages.
Basically you need to clean up your layout or think about doing it another way.
If there is a lot of layout, you will need to learn Pages methods for doing this in a WP template or do it in a Layout template where each page is individual and all objects are floating with no default text area.

Saving a PDF form with Adobe Professional

I have Adobe professional with LiveCycle. I want to create a simple form that I sent to people. They fill it out and send it back. But the forms I create don't allow me to save changes when I open them in a Reader. This is so basic! I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Hello
When you work with live cycle designer you create your form and you save it. Then, when you want to send it to people you use the assistant with create 2 other different files :
1) A publication form that you will send by mail
2) A blank form that you will fill with information the user sent to you
So, call the assistant create the 2 files but don't send them to people and save them locally. Open the second file and fill it in reader, you will see you will save change.

It´s possible to call to Adobe Professional 8 with Indesign scripting (.jsx) [JS/CS3] ?

Hello, I would like to know if it´s possible to communicate with Adobe Professional through a Indesign script (.jsx). I need to convert the pdf file that I export from Indesign to specific standard type that is only available in Adobe Professional.
I want to save the Indesign generated file with Adobe Professional and obtain the pdf that I particularly need.
I would like to know if there is a way to do this.
Thank u,
Peter

That's nothing!
An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!

Graham
