Can't edit text using "Add text" tool

Hello, I click "Add Text" in "Content Editing" and add some text into a PDF document. Then, I save the pdf. Then, I re-open the document and I can't edit the same text using the same "Add Text" tool OR delete that piece of text.

by the way, when you said

What you are doing is adding comments, in the Acrobat sense, rather than text (which is part of the original page). Comments are separate. So try the commenting tools.
did you mean something like this: http://www.nitropdf.com/pdf/EN/Nitro_Pro_8_User_Guide.pdf under "Annotation layer and content layer" pages 251-252. Also, when I added text using "Add Text" did it go into content layer so that I was unable to edit it after saving using acrobat ?

  • How can I edit text labels in a numeric display?

    I have this numeric display, type U16, that displays specific messages, for example 'PASS' when the input is 1. I need to add another message.
    I added a placeholder, for input = 3 (verified by the digital display) for the new message by rightclicking/'Add After' but I'm not able to add the new message. I can't edit the text (can't select it) for the existing messages either so I know I'm on the wrong track.
    The G programming reference for LV 5.1 (page 9-17) says to use the labeling tool so I tried the 'Edit Text' tool on the tools palette. Is there another labeling tool? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Jeff,
    It sounds to me as if your U16 ring control is, or is linked to, a typdef (Type Definition), which LabVIEW programmers can employ to impose sharp constraints on the way a control looks or behaves. This would explain why you can't edit the text items, or add one. The bit about adding an item for '3' is confusing, but maybe it has to do with the ring being set to allow undefined values.
    I can't recall how to manage these things under LabVIEW 5.1, but in 7.x, I would right-click on the control and see if "Open Type Def" was one of my options; if so, this diagnosis is correct, and you can make your changes only be editing the actual type def. The changes would then automatically be applied to any other control or indicator that is linked to the same type def, which is a very powerful programming technique.
    Your best move might be to read up on Type Definitions in your LabVIEW User Manual, or in Application Note 159, and then proceed.
    Hope this helps,
    John

  • How can I edit text in a tagged PDF?

    I have created an accessible test form in Acrobat Pro X.  Now that it has all been tagged and reading order touched up, the client wants to change the text.  Is there any way to edit text at this point or do I have to create an entirely new tagged accessible form (very time consuming)?
    I have tried:
    TouchUp Reading order - when I select the block of text, nothing lights up on the TouchUp window
    Form > Edit Document Text - I can place a cursor but it won't do anything.
    Thank you for any help!

    For Tagged PDF the replace page approach ought to be avoided.
    The behavior seen when replace page is used for an existing page having annotations is not present.
    Insert of a tagged PDF into another PDF can be a problem as well. The "incoming" structure tree is always placed at the end of the existing structure tree.
    Manually remediating this can become nasty very quickly.
    Using the Touchup / Edit text tool on a 'good' tagged PDF ought to be avoided as well.

  • Header and Footers don't delete with edit text tool!?

    On certain pages I try to delete the header and footer and they won't delete with the edit text tool. I have to go and update the header and footer on certain pages and correct that way...there has to be an easier way, it worked on the adobe's in the past. I'm about to down grade to a older version of Adobe reader because of this!

    You can downgrade to an older version of Adobe Reader but it won't help since Reader cannot edit PDF files.
    What application are you actually using?

  • How can I edit text tabs in Photoshop...?

    how can I edit text tabs in Photoshop like in Illustrator that I can choose to view the tab rulers and edit the alignment on the tabs?
    is it possible? otherwise I can't understand why I can use the tabs at all...
    thanks!

    No, tab-formatted text is not editable in the manner you desire. As for your question - tab is just a character like any other. You are simply taking a given kind of implementation for granted, nothing more, but that must not necessarily be the case for all programs. An evil programmer just could assign the tab key to forward delete or any other fancy function just as he could make your space key draw funky symbols from a different Unicode range, if you get my meaning... so simply take it the way it is. If editable formatting is high on your wishlist:

  • IBooks Author - can't edit text on customized template

    I've created a template and saved it to My Templates. However, when I select a layout (a chapter or section) and place it into my book, I can't edit the text. Where am I going wrong?

    I tried the above but still can't edit text.
    I'm inserting a page and then changing it to 2 Column.  It is linked to the first page.  If the first page has enough text, it overflows into the new page and I can edit it. 
    However, I want the new page to be stand alone.  So I remove the link to the first page.  The text disappears.  When I double click into either column, I can't add any text to this page.  I have to add a text box into the column, which of course isn't going to overflow into column 2.
    The strange thing is that I have another page a little further up that is also 2 Column.  It is not linked to the first page but I can type text into it.  This text will overflow from column 1 into column 2.
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

  • Can we edit Text ?

    I - for the life of me - can't find a way to edit text on it's layer once the check box has been clicked and the text layer is made...
    We can transform, size, skew etc., using the tools under the move tool icon but I can't seem to find a way to actually EDIT text or change fonts once the layer has been created.. I am missing something ??
    It's a pain to think that every time I want to change a word ( read make a spelling mistake ) or want to try a different font I have top delete that layer and start again ??
    Thanks in advance,
    Edit - Should also add that I am using the iPad version of PST....

    svik12,
    Understood this already it's not just a Android thing - - - the text is editable up until you click "OK" and create the layer...
    After that point it is rasterized and no longer editable - meaning can't enter the layer and select the text, change font or change spelling...
    The double edge of that sword of that process is that even if you export the file to your Photoshop via a PSDX file transfer - that same text layer is ALSO no longer editable in PS either....
    Essentially once you have clicked OK and created the "text" layer - if you find you need to change spelling, add words, change fonting - - you have to delete the layer and start all over again...

  • Can't edit text field after grouping

    Hi Folks,
    I have 3 single-line text fields and a logo combined by using "Add Parent".  For some wierd reason, I cannot select any of the fields to make a text change.  I can select them in the Elements Panel, and make layout or style changes, but as soon as I double-click to edit the text, my selection switches to the parent div instead of the text field.  I tried using the text tool as well, but it always switches selection to the parent.  This isn't a big deal since I can edit the text later in an editor, but it is a bit frustrating.
    FWIW, I ran this morning's upgrade before starting, but I doubt that caused this problem(?)  Thanks for any help
    --Kevin

    So sorry Chris, in my frustration, I removed the parent and group so I could get at the element I wanted to edit, then re-created the parent.
    However, your description of the differences between Group and Add Parent in this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1361983?tstart=0  probably explains why I was having trouble.  I beleive I had GROUPED the 3 text fields, and then wrapped both that group and the logo image in another div by "Add Parent".  I probably was not clicking successfully through the Parent to the Group and then to the Text Field.  Basically, I was clicking like mad, but probably not on the correct spot for each level.
    Thanks for clarifying how these items work.

  • Can you edit text after saving your file as pdf

    I have recently created a letterhead in Illustrator.
    Is there a way to change a person name and title after saving it as a pdf file? I heard something about creating a form in Acrobat professsional.
    I need to print out a letterhead with different peoples name and title. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Can you edit the text in Acrobat Reader?
    Yes, if you use Acrobat Pro to save the PDF as a Reader-enabled form.
    1. Create your letterhead in Illustrator (or whatever). Leave design space for, but do not create text objects that you want to be editable.
    2. Save as PDF.
    3. Open the PDF in Acrobat Pro. Use Acrobat's Form tools to add text fields whereever you want the end users to be able to key text.
    4. Select the Enable Reader Usage Rights command in Acrobat to make the form fields edtiable in Reader. Save the file.
    Recipients of the PDF can now open it in Reader, edit the content of the fields, and save the file with their edits.

  • How can I edit text in a copy of a document on my home PC?

    A document created in Acrobat XI Std is on the server in the office.  I had the document emailed to me which I downloaded to my home PC.
    I cannot edit existing text or images in the downloaded document.
    I can do the following to the downloaded document:
       Add new text boxes and images
       Delete existing text boxes and images
       Move existing text boxes and images within the document
       Copy existing text boxes and images from the downloaded document and paste them into another document
       Edit new text boxes and images that I've added to the document.
    Both the office server and my home PC are running Windows and Acrobat XI Standard.
    I've checked security and protection.  These do not apear to be a problem but I'm not absolutely certain.
    Why am I unable to edit existing text and images in the downloaded document?
    How can i remedy this problem?
    PS.  The reverse is true also.  The office cannot edit text and images that I've added to the document.

    Hi Bill@VT,
    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.  I caught the flu.
    I just went to work for this company.  The company has been creating and maintaining these documents with Acrobat for may years.
    I live 75 miles from the office.  The company has agreed that I can work from home.
    The first attempt at this was emailing PDF documents back and forth.
    I may need access to the company network via a VPN.
    I have a lot experience doing these types of documents with MS Word and MS PowerPoint.  Then creating a PDF document from the docx and pptx.. 
    The company wants to continue creating and maintaining the documents in Acrobat because everyone in the office knows how to do it.
    So at this time I'll try to use  Acrobat.
    Thank you for all your help.
    Frank

  • Can't edit text in PDF

    Hi,
    Using Acrobat Pro 8.1.7 intel mac plenty of ram. I've got a PDF from a client that comes with areas that I can supposedly change. However I get this message:
    All or part of the selection has no available system font. You can not add or delete text using the current selected font.
    The font is Helv Neue Roman TT. I have every Helv Neue but that one. If I buy it can I edit it?
    Would Acrobat 9 do it easier?
    Thanks

    You've ran in to one of the problems with editing PDF's. They really aren't intended for that type of editing.
    You would need the "exact" font on your system and even then, it may not work.
    If the creator of the file used say and Open Type Font (works on Windows and Mac) and you had the same one, that would be your best bet.

  • Can not edit text in a PDF with Adobe acrobat professional version 8

      I have a PDF doccument that I can not edit any of the text on. all it lets me do is slide the pages around like images but dose not allow me to delete or add any text. It is not password protected at all.
    Any ideas on why this is and how to fix it so I can edit this 40 page pdf?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR
    In the Recognize Text dialog, click the "Edit" button.
    In the Recognize Text - Settings dialog the middle entry has a drop-down menu.
    From this menu you can select one of three PDF Output Styles.

    --| Formatted Text & Graphics
    These output styles are discussed in Acrobat Help.

  • How can i edit text on a pdf document on acrobat i professional

    can anyone please help me, I've got acrobat 8 professional and i'm trying to edit text, can i do it and how can I do it?

    You wrote: I have tried creating the background image as a pdf . . .
    The whole thing is already a PDF.
    What application are you using to try and make changes?
    Are you now using InDesign to recreate the gift voucher?
    Or are you opening the Photoshop PDF and trying to resize the live text layers?
    There shouldn't be any issue with making 120 pt text. I just created a 250 pt text layer in PS as a test.
    Have you enlarged the text box? If the text box isn't that big. making the text larger make cause it to overset and no longer be visible.
    Grab the corner of the text box and drag it to enlarge it.
    If things aren't working correctly, it would be faster to recreate the gift voucher in InDesign.
    You mentioned having the background image, just add the text are you are ready to print.
    After rereading your last post it is unclear who will be adding the text for the money amount.
    Are you adding this yourself before printing, or are you hoping to give a PDF to the client where he can add/change the money amount?
    Things like this need to be mentioned upfront.
