Advanced Editing Tool

I am using the thouchup text tool (I use Acrobat 9 Pro) to edit the color of words in a pdf. This problem occurs when I have saved the changes and closes down the pdf, and the reopening it. What happens is that document gets distorted, words suddenly gets large empty spaces inside them. Sentences is moved from the orignal postion and is shifted to left or right. This of course makes the document look really wierd in the readers eyes, and I can not really send them to other people to read.
Any ideas?

Acrobat is not really an editing application. If you want to edit things in your file you should do it in the original and then re-create the PDF.

Advanced editing tool not working in Acrobat Pro 9.0

I created a fillable form in Live Cycle ES 8.2 and the recipient wants to add a hyperlink to a website in one of the text field areas of the form but it won't work.
I tried to do it for him in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I go to the Advanced Editing tool it is greyed out. Can anyone tell me how to get the advanced editing tool to work or why it may be disabled?

Thank you but if I put it back into LiveCycle everything that has been inputted by the recipient is lost. Do you know if there is a setting in LiveCycle that allows hyperlinks to be entered in to the text area by the recipient of the form?

Making the form "Unsecured" for advanced editing tools in PDF?

I have a Comment Card or Customer Satiscation Survey form that I created through Adobe LiveCycle Designer and I need help... I want to use the "Submit By Email" button BUT I don't want it sent back to me in data form... There is a buttons they click for 1-5 satisfaction and a comment area at the bottom of the form but I want the full form back, not the xml data...
So my plan was to use the Advanced Editing under the Tools tab on Adobe Acrobat Professional... Then use the Link Tool I believe it is to put a mask over top of the "Submit By Email" button and have it send me back the form filled out... I haven't tested this theory yet because the form is "Secured" while in PDF and I don't know how I can get my idea to work...
Can anyone help?

Hi,
I suspect that the form is "secured" when viewed in Acrobat becuase you have set an open-password for when the formed is opened in LC Designer. This applies security to the form (which also prevents a user from printing to PDF).
Even if the form does not have the security, you will not be able to use AcroForm tools on an LC Designer form. They are different animals!
There is a solution, which is in plenty of posts to the forum. If you use a standard "button" instead of a "submit by email" button, you can have JavaScript in the click event which would look something like this:
var vEmail = "[email protected]";
var vSubject = "Customer Comments";
var vBody = "Put some nice customer focused text in here and it will appear in the body of the email for the customer.";
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: "+ vEmail +"?subject=" + vSubject +"&body=" + vBody, cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
The submit as PDF command will ensure you get the form and not just the XML.
When developing in LC, it is best to do all of the scripting in LC, rather than trying to adapt parts of it in Acrobat (imho) ;-)
Good luck,
Niall

What happened to my editing tools from iPhoto?

What happened to my editing tools from iPhoto now that the iPhoto app does not work with iOS 8?

Unfortunately, the advanced editing tools from iPhoto have not been migrated to Photos. There are no brushed adjustments in "Photos".
Send feedback to Apple, that these tolls need to be added to Photos:

How to get a true "full screen" view without the edit tools? The help manual promises such a view.

How do I get a true "full screen" view in the new version of Iphoto without the edit tools showing? Weirdly enough, the help manual promises such a "full" view, which was always available in my earlier version of Iphoto.
Thanks, in advance.

Click on the Edit button to get into Edit mode. Click on it again to come out of edit mode.

Security for Advanced Editing Options

I work in a regulated environment and need to remove the ability for all end users to access the TouchUp Text Tool in the Advanced Editing Menu. NOTE WE ARE USING ACROBAT STANDARD V6.0.1.
Can I make a change in the registry to remove this option? Any suggestions are appreciated.

This is provided by a plug-in, not sure which one. You could remove
the plug-in.

How to reactivate editing tools iMovie 09 8.0.6.(821)

Final stages of edition of 20 minutes and all editing tools, including advanced, ceased operation.
Got the "QUIT UNEXPECTEDLY" notice.
Tried restarting
Tried shut down and rebooting to no avail.
Everything on the project panel is frozen.
Cursor works and shows a photo cutaway insert that can't be seen as a thumbnail.
All photos inserted at 0.5 when the events setting is 4.0. I could not extend photos from 0.5 so used video as a platform for expanding them, which required frequent use of the slider at the bottom of the project panel.Most photos in png format and inserted from folders
48.5 gb available.
Event library for edition is 1.56.00 and held in External HD, so I don't think its a space problem.
We had a 6.7. quake yesterday in Mexico City but everything worked okay after that.
It seems to be an expanding problem as the Preferences shows a blank frame when opening.
For my son's birthday in Australia, and there's just the final polishing to complete it.
I have just paused to recheck the system by moving the cursor over both the events and project frames.A little more responsive than when I started this essay of dismay and frustration....and then the QUIT UNEXPECTEDLY notice.
I send my second report to Apple.
I hope for some help from the community.
Thanks for your attention.

How to trash iMovie pref. file? Went to Preferences pressed delete with no result. (It's display screen is still blank) Is the idea here to find out if the problem is with the iMovie system or with the data for edition?
• Delete iMovie pref. file
iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD) / Users / "Your account" / Library / Preferences (User-Library)
- NOT THE LIBRARY on first window when opening Start-Up hard disk. This is the Root-Library.
and the file is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
and find this too
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( This can be done by: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library (EXACTLY THIS - notice the Space sign)
Then press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. A bit of brain surgery so take care or find someone that are familiar to this to keep in hand.)
Not using iPhoto when problem I described occurred. Transferring photos from files.
Has nothing to do if it is in use or not. When iMovie starts IT USES the iPhoto Library - and if this is corrupted then iMovie get's problem.
3 ext HD in operation:
1. E315SU31 by AZio superspeed usb 3.0 - Format: MacOS Extended (journaled). Sharing permissions Read Write.This one holds the Event Library for the edition and copy of the Project and Photo file.Cap. 232.57 Available. 12.78
Low but OK
2. Iomega i usb - Format: Windows NT Filesystem. This one holds copy of Project Sharing permissions Read Write
Will be a very risky Storage with high risk of Project break down - Can be hard to impossibly to repair. Not recommended at all !
3. My Book - Format: MS-DOS (FAT 32) Holds copy of Photo file. Sharing perm. R&W.
OK for all but NOT FOR any Video at all
I have my wife's Mac (same model) and could transfer data to it and complete current and urgent project...or might I be transporting the problem?
Should work if You do
• Use an external hard disk that is Mac OS Extended formatted - NOTHING ELSE
• DO NOT MOVE any folder named
iMovie Projects - or -
iMovie Events
on DeskTop/Finder - as iMovie will get lost and can not reconnect in a secure way
BUT
Connect external HD and in iMovie Application - move in resp. window from one hard disk to the other. If done so it will be safe.
Yours Bengt W

When i click the edit tool on iPhoto, iDVD opens up every time. Now i am not able to use my edit tool. Why is this happening?

I cannot edit any of my photos in iPhoto. When I click the edit tool on iPhoto, iDVD opens up every single time in my iMac toolbar. I cannot edit, crop or make changes to my photos. Is anything corrupt in my computer? Thanks in advance..

Check the Preferences settings in iPhoto. You may have set iDVD as external editor.
Set "Preferences > Advanced > Edit Photos" to "In iPhoto".

Form - Can not use the Text Edit Tool in Adobe 9

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could please assist me, I have created a form but the text editing tool is coming grayed out, how am I able to get this function back?
I simply need to remove one word and am unable to do so. It tells me that some functionality is restricted for extended features and to save a copy. but when i save a copy I am still unable to use the touch up tool.
My Thanks in advance for your assistance.

My guess is that you did use LiveCycle Designer and are not aware of that. Designer is accessed from Acrobat in the forms menu and may have come up even if you were not aware of it. If that is indeed the case, you can only edit the text in Designer.
If it is an AcroForm, then it may be that you have activated Reader Rights or such. To remove Reader Rights, there is a specific procedure to use and unfortunately I do not remember it. If you have Reader Rights activated, indicate that and someone should be by that remembers how to remove the feature so you can edit the document. The removal is not as simple as one would think, but is rather straight forward. It involves saving or such -- I just don't remember and it is not something I am finding in the help menu.

ACROBAT XI Pro -EDIT TOOL SET - POP-UP WINDOW IS TOO LARGE

Good Day -
I've been experiencing very nagging problem since installing recent Acrobat Xi Pro uodate (on windows 7 system):
Specifically - I cannot edit/change the TOOL SET to include needed TOOLS (i.e., that were all previously in my Tool set) as the EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (i.e., pop-up
window) is TOO LARGE and does not allow scrolling/ or moving down to SAVE any tool sets and or tool set changes. Very frustrating as all attempts (and recommendations from reviews/support) for decreasing the size of EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (popup) in order to save (i.e. include ANY) tools have been unsuccessful. So for past week I've been unable to include/use any TOOLS for working in (i.e., editing/commenting etc) pdf's. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Would greatly appreciate any / all steps & recommendations for fixing.
Thank-you!

First, make sure you are on the latest update 11.0.09. Help->check for updates should get you there.
If check for updates says that you have the latest, see if the setting: Edit->Settings->General->Basic Tools->Scale for screen resolution and try various options (you'll have to restart Acrobat with each selection)

How does one tell if they have full access to page creation/editing tools?

I have an application that was built by someone else. The pages link via parameters to PL/SQL Packages/Procedures/Functions. Now I need to do minor enhancements/corrections and am learning Oracle and OAS as I go. I have read parts of Oracle OAS Portal Handbook from Oracle Press among many other things.
Providers have queries, Portlets use Providers. Creators of pages make the connection from Portlets to information if they have permissions.
The base application in question uses almost exclusively Dynamic Pages. There are no forms. These pages contain all possible manner of item content. I get the idea that editing is possible using only the portal tools but I am unsure. A PDK is not an option unless it is part of the OAS tool we currently use. I need to stay pure Portal and PL/SQL.
I suspect the 'portal' user does not have all rights on my system because I do see an over abundance of editing Icons as shown in the OAS Portal Handbook. Is there a website, book, or simple explanation of how/where to access the editing tools for individual items such as creating/editing/deleting a drop-down box from a dynamic page? It seems that Portlet items just 'appear' in the examples, and nothing I've read really talks about how to specify what you want to see on a page or how to edit a page that already exists.
Any enlightenment appreciated,
Rick

Just out of curiosity... Is there something you do
like about Mac/Apple?
To answer your question: no, not really. However, the points that I made here were about Safari and accompanying utilities, not about Apple in general.
If it makes you feel any better, I am just as, or even more, critical of Micro$oft as the occasions arise...Windoze Vista is the most recent occasion and has given sufficient reasons and opportunities to vent my spleen that I actually have eased up on Apple, politicians, nut-case religious extremists, cell phone owners, and the Department of Homeland Paranioa, etc., due to an exhaustion of creative energy.

Need help with imovie photos extension. I am not able to view the editing tools no matter what I do!!!! Help please ASAP

I Have read a lot of tutorials or whatever but Im not able to view the editing tools from imovie in the photos app. I have tried the trimmer thing and the yellow outline does appear but the only options available are "play, trim or cancel". I really really want to use the filters and stuff so please help me if you can!
Thanks!

Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

Acrobat 9 Pro Portfolio Editing Tools Disappeared?

Hello, I created a portfolio in Acrobat 9 Pro. I saved the file. When I reopen the file, all of my editing tools which are usually in a menu bar on the top of the document, are no longer available to me, ie. the "form", "multi-media" tabs. There is only one tool menu with a "modifiy" tab, which I set to "edit", but the only tools that become available to me are the "edit portfolio tools" that show up on the right hand side of the screen. How do I get back to a point where I can edit this document and add multi-media files?
I attached a pic of what the program looks like now, without the tools I need.
Please help
Robyn

What you are seeing is correct. The tools you are looking for (form, multi-media, etc) are all PDF document editing tools. However, a portfolio file isn't actually a document. It's a collection of files pulled together in a sort of a PDF wrapper.
The official definition from the help documentation:
A PDF Portfolio contains multiple files assembled into an integrated PDF unit. The files in a PDF Portfolio can be in different formats and created in different applications. For example, suppose you have a project that includes text documents, email messages, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, and PowerPoint presentations. You could combine all of these documents into a PDF Portfolio. The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. Users can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio.
You can add multi-media files to the portfolio a number of ways, most commonly this is done via drag/drop, clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the portfolio window when it's in edit mode (what you have pictured), or selecting those same options (add files, add existing folder) from the modify menu in the portfolio toolbar.

Photoshop and elements 13
Working in iPhoto
Want to edit image using photoshop elements
Did the following
IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
Also control click and chose edit in external editor
Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
Go to to the image I'm working on --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
I spoke with application technical support. There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto. However there is no support from Adobe. I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:
