Can't editing PDF text-no system font error

Hi all,
I'm trying to edit a PDF containing "Arial+0" font. This is the original font and the editing font. There is no system font for this, so I am unable to edit or delete text.
I attempted one solutioon to edit the TouchUp Properties for highlighted text, changing the font to something my system has. However, when I tried changing the font to "Arial", I got the following error:
The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved.
Is there a way around this error? Any other approaches to try?
Thanks!

If you want to proceed, you will either have to find a version of the Arial font that was used (not necessarily easy) or try each of the fonts on your system until you find one that is compatible. Is the font embedded? If not what font is your system using to display the text?
You might find it easier to get the original document, do the edit in the appropriate software, and recreate the PDF.

I am using CS3 and want to save a file as a pdf where someone can then edit the text. How can I do this please? Thank you :)

You might be able to use the newest adobe reader program/application for that.
You would have to save your pdf out of photoshop cs3 without any text and then add the text to the pdf in adobe reader.
The text added in adobe reader can't be edited in photoshop, so the other people would have to adobe reader or acrobat to edit the text.

Can't edit regular text on a form

I have some boilerplate paragraphs between form fields. When I'm in edit mode I can move the form fields around, and when I'm in normal mode I can click within the paragraphs of regular text. But I can't edit the text, and the touchup text tool is greyed out.
I must be missing something basic. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sounds to me like you may not have the fonts in those paragraphs installed on your machine?
If not, you won't be able to edit. Like Phil mentioned, you'd want to make the changes on the original document, create a new pdf.
After that, so you don't have to recreate all the form fields, simply open the old PDF and use Document>Replace pages. That will replace the old pages with your newly edited pages but leave the existing form fields intact.

How can i edit pdf files ?

how can i edit pdf files ?

What kind of "editing" operations do you have in mind?
You can add/delete/change annotations (such as Sticky Notes or Highlight/Strikeout/Underline text markups) or fill out forms in Adobe Reader. Some people (mistakenly) call it "editing". But, strictly speaking, it is not.
Because Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer, you are not able to edit the content of PDF documents. For example, you cannot
add/edit images or text
insert/delete/extract pages
convert PDF from/to other formats
You need a PDF editor such as Adobe Acrobat Pro or Standard, which is not a free product.

I can´t edit the text files with SAP BODS 3.2

Hello
I can not edit some text files 9-20 megabytes to replace two words in each file, the source is a text file and the same destination but with different name, because with the same name have been unable . My idea is to remove the original and stay with the new performing edition but that if he does , let me file this way:
SALES_ORDERS_FULL_20140223_150051_006.xml ( ORIGINAL )
should leave it with me so : SALES_ORDERS_FULL_20140223_150051_006.xml _OLD (AMENDED )
but strangely leaves me so :
MICROSOFT_SQL_SERVER_KCC-BI_REPO_KHSA_XI_REPO_KHSA_XI_1543_5434_2_3_Long_INVOICES_INCREMENTAL_20140225_034004_001_xml_dat.txt (not deseased)
The type of data you use is long since varchar not allow me because it cuts my data file , use varchar (50000000) but takes the information and short .
I am using long data type , modify the file and I pass the name of the text files of sap bods for global variables. They are a series of files that are called by a while loop
Thanks for your answers
regards

HIr
Yes, first I convert long_to_varchar for edit, and convert varchar_to_long.
I edit before before and later
Thanks

How can I highlight pdf texts in adobe reader 9?

With the commenting tools. But they will only be available if the author of the PDF enabled that option in Acrobat.

Can't edit PDF

I just signed in for adobe and I still can't edit PDF's

Sounds as if you took up a subscription to Acrobat XI.
That, by itself does not put Acrobat XI on your computer.
Yes -- you have to download and install Acrobat XI on a desktop or laptop or smaller (but "real" - e.g., ultrabook, netbook, MS Slate Pro 3, etc) computer.
No "devices" eh.
Once you have the actual application installed you can launch it for use.
Good to do -- Fetch the Help file and study it. Use the available Acrobat tutorials.
Acrobat is a "18-wheeler" so the gearng ain't your 3-speed bicycle shift.
Acrobat Learn & Support
https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials
Products | Acrobat | Adobe TV
The Adobe Press "Classroom in a Book" for Acrobat is available:
-- | as a hardcover book with work files on DVD
--| a PDF
--| a Kindle book
So, some resources to get you started (once you have downloaded and installed the application).
Be well...

How can I edit a text message feed

I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.4 and I can't edit my text message feed. How can I do that?

You can only delete messages frmo a text-message conversation - not edit them . Under iOS 7, you'd need to long-tap on a single message then tap "More...". You will now be able to select multiple messages in a thread and delete them.

How to edit a text with same font in a image in photoshop 7

how to edit a text with same font in a image in photoshop 7

Good day!
The question seems to provide insufficient information for a relevant answer.
Do you have the font?
Is the text a (Type) Layer of its own or part of the image?
Could you please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible?

Can you edit the text of a PDF that is placed in inDesign

I have placed a PDF in inDesign and am curious if I can edit the text of that PDF while in inDesign.

Edit it with Adobe Acrobat Pro, indesign can't. Option for Indesign is:
of course overlay text with new text
There is specialized software for editing PDF files, though the choices are much more limited and often more expensive than creating and editing standard editable document formats. Version 0.46 and later of Inkscape allows PDF editing through an intermediate translation step involving Poppler.
Serif PagePlus can open, edit and save existing PDF documents, as well as publishing of documents created in the package.
Enfocus PitStop Pro, a plugin for Acrobat, allows manual and automatic editing of PDF files, while the free Enfocus Browser makes it possible to edit the low-level structure of a PDF.
In Acrobat you should use the TouchUp Text Tool.
But in the end, PDF-files are not made for editing.

How can i edit the text in a fillable pdf form?

I ve a fillable pdf form that needs to be updated - minor change such as 2011 into 2012. I've tried to type in the new text in but I could not manage to change it.
any idea on how to do it? sorry but i'm not familiar with the abobe x pro at all. Thanks.

Tools > Content > Edit Document Text
Better yet, edit the original source document, create a new PDF, and replace the old pages with the new: Tools > Pages > Replace

Can't edit PDF in Acrobat Pro 9

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed on two workstations. On one workstation we cannot edit a particular PDF. It gives an error first about missings a system font and won't allow edits. On the other workstations, we get the same error but CAN edit by going to Tools -> Advanced Editing -> Touch Up Text Tool. Both workstations are Windows 7. Is this a permissions issue? Thanks for any guidance.

If you want to edit text in a font that your system does not have, you will need to install the font in order to edit the text. Acrobat should tell you the name of the font that you are missing.
That should solve your problem, let me know if it doesn't.
