adobe reader XI--cannot edit document scanned in from cannon pixma nor from email

Correct. Reader can't edit PDF files. It can't even create PDf files, so you must have used the software that came with your scanner to do that.
You should scan your documents to another format, like PNG or TIFF, edit them in a photo editor, like Photoshop, and then convert them to PDF using an application like Acrobat.

  • Earliest Adobe Reader Version with Editable Text Field Functionality

    Hi all,
    Can someone inform me of the earliest version of Adobe Reader with which you can edit a document with editable text fields? I've designed a form using LiveCycle and, prior to distributing it to customers, would like to determine the minimum spec for Reader.
    Thanks, JB

    Editable fields came in with 3.0, but if you use LiveCycle Designer,
    which is new technology, it's 7.0 or so.

  • Cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box

    I cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box after saving and closing the pdf file and then reopening it.  I go to add additional text in the Text Box, and nothing happens.
    Hope you can lend me a hand,
    Richard
    Adobe X Pro 10.1.4

    In the previous print screen, the layer icon has a paintbrush in it. In the new menu page I cut and pasted the text is still 'text' layer. I am not able to format it other than change font color. I want to make it two columns of text like the original pdf, and change the font.

  • I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

    I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
    When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
    If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
    I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
    Thanks

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
    Of course, I have done all the steps you mention,  but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
    I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
    Mode color: black on white
    Resolution: 600 ppp
    As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
    Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
    And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
    Are these values congruous or compatible?
    Thank you

  • Does Adobe Reader have a "recognize text" tool?

    Does Adobe Reader have a "recognize text" tool, or do I have to buy a version to get this feature? What is the least expensive version that offers this feature? My goal to have PDF version text documents that can be read by a text to speech application, like EZ PDF Reader.

    Definitely not in Reader. I believe (though cannot personally confirm) that Acrobat Standard has it.
    Bear in mind that you need good quality originals, well scanned, to get any kind of decent result. Computers are way worse at this than humans.
    Bear in mind too that Recognise Text is only applicable to scanned documents NOT those made from Word or whatever. So if you are making the documents, it is rarely relevant.

  • Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Hi Steve,
    Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
    I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
    Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

  • Installed Adobe Reader X Cannot print. All Fixes futile!

    Have OS Windows XP Installed Adobe Reader X and cannot print. Documents open properly and can be manipulated according to their limitations except I cannot print. Printer is HP Officejet 4500 Wireless. Have converted back to hard connection for this process. Connection not an issue. Everything else except the pdfs will print normally. Printing a pdf elicits no response from the printer. Does not show in queue. Hard attached another older HP printer. It does respond by pulling blank paper thru machine. Have full warranty on HP printer and have been thru detailed process with them. Does not appear to be a printer issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Tried all the same fixes. Still does not work. Connected to old printer. 
    Printer responded, but did not print.

  • Adobe Reader X cannot respond to printer properties number of copies issue

    Hi to all!
    I have an issue using Adobe Reader X 10.0.1, 10.1.0, 10.1.2, when select File > Print > Page Handling: Copies = 1, click Printer Properties > Page Setup, specify eg. Copies : 5, it print 1 copy only instead of 5 on Windows platform.
    Happen to a number of printers, eg. HP, Epson, Xerox, Canon, Brother printer, etc.
    For some reason, Adobe Reader X cannot respond to the No. of copies specified in the printer properties.
    Anyone have any solutions or workarounds to solve this issue besides specifying Adobe Reader X : File>Print>Page Handling: 5 copies?
    Is there any website, forum, supporting documents, with regards to above scenario?
    Please kindly advice, thank you in advance!

    Hi LoriAUC,
    Sorry for the late response!
    The users had a habit of going into the printer properties to specify other printer options eg. 2-sided printing, manual feed printing, heavy paper, etc... besides the number of copies inside the printer properties as well. Therefore, they prefer to do all the various changes in the printer properties instead of changing it at the Adobe Reader dialog.
    The same method were applied by all the users in Adobe Reader 9.4.7 and there were perfectly no issue at all! All the network printers (23 different brands and models in the network) responded to the printer properties "number of copies" accordingly.
    It seems that Adobe Reader X dialog Page Handling: No of copies, cannot synchronise and recognise the "No of copies" specified in the printer properties. This symptom was tested and found to be the same behaviour for different printer manufacturers. Wonder if there is a bug with Adobe Reader X as this issue did not occur for Adobe Reader 8 and 9 versions. The users were using Reader 8 and 9 versions before and there were no complaints until it was eventually all upgraded to Reader X, starting from 10.0.1, 10.1.0 and now 10.1.2.
    What do you think could be the cause?

    I have adobe reader 8 & cannot change to adobe reader X1.Is it OK to stay with 8? Am I missing out?

    The latest versions of Reader have many improvements, including advanced security features. And, why can't you change that old version? Have you tried this?
    Use this tool to remove all traces of all versions of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Cannot edit text or any command other than print in Adobe Acrobat 9.0.1 Pro. Receive error message

    I just installed adobe acrobat 9.0.1 Pro and it opens up pdfs and prints fine but when I try to edit text or enter any other command I get an error and it gives the option of cancel to debug or to exit program.
    Error message:
    The instruction at “0x2b806327” referenced memory at “0x00000348”. The memory could not be “read”.
    Click on ok to terminate the program
    Click on CANCEL to debug the program
    At first it stated that it did not recognize the font but when I looked it up under file, properties, fonts. The font was helvetica (embedded subset) for all the fonts on the pdf file. I have also checked the sercurity tab as well and there is no security on the file.
    When I choose cancel to debug it just terminates the program. When I choose ok it terminates the program.
    Please help.

    Maybe your installation is currupt (scratched CD)
         Reinstall on another maschine (and clean CD) to validate this case.
    Update your Acrobat, maybe the corresponding files are replaced or the error is fixed.

  • Adobe Reader 9 cannot read text, thus can't search

    Just six days ago I was able to search the text on a PDF doc. Starting today or maybe yesterday, I couldn't search the same document with those texts. And I couldn't search that same PDF document online which was where I downloaded it from and could use the search engine before. What is going on??? The Adobe Reader program is only seeing the doc as a picture. But I can search other documents that have highlightable text. HELP! I want to fix this search engine problem! Thanks, much appreciated!

    I'm absolutely positive that I could search text on the PDF before. In fact, I did a lot of searching. Now I cannot do any searches. And yes, I checked the fonts thing and there is none. I'm completely boggled about this. And I used google to find the pdf and could search the PDF while opening it under google. Now, I can't.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Latest Adobe Reader DC cannot render editable forms

    Hello,
    I just wanted to have a discussion on the recent adobe reader DC. Has anyone else the below similar issues?
    I created Adobe interactive formss from WD and triggered it using IE as well as Chrome. I had Adobe reader DC installed. As per Adobe this is a latest product and covers all the features of the previous products.
    But I never got an editable form in Chrome. I somehow got an editable in IE. But when I used my SUBMIT button, the control never went back to SAP WD.
    I struggled a lot and finally uninstalled Adobe DC and installed adobe reader 9.1.
    I was able to successfully generate the form in IE in editable mode and the same SUBMIT button triggered data back to SAP WD.
    But chrome could still not render the output.
    Has anyone faced the same issue? Whats wrong with the latest version of adobe reader DC ? Adobe claims it to be the smartest release with all features integrated.
    Thanks,
    Ags.

    Hey Diego,
    Thanks for the heads-up. You saved me quite a few days of my efforts.
    Its extremely hard to get older versions of reader 9.1 which works fine to my knowledge. my 9.1 got auto updated to 11 and now the app is not quite reliable. Sometimes it opens in IE and sometimes it says 'plz close othr sessions to open here' - strange.
    Another crucial road block is that my app has to be integrated to iphone too, but strangely there is only reader dc available in itunes. So EDITABLE form is not working either in my iphone - safari or chrome
    SAP or adobe must do something on this since its stopping a lot of our PoCs.
    regards,
    Ags.

    Also, has a rule been created in the BeyondTrust Software application you appear to be using to allow Reader X to open in Protected Mode? That application might be interfering with the way Reader X operates.
