Can't move text in Acrobat 9

We create a document in Word 2007 and save as
.pdf.  We then use the text touch up tool to edit certain text and to move certain
text.  We used to do this in Acrobat 5 without an issue, but in Acrobat 9 there are no handles on the text
boundary after selecting with the text touch up tool.  Please help.

I upgraded from Acrobat 9 Std to Acrobat 9 Pro and all is well.

  • How can I align text in Acrobat 8.1 Professional?

    Okay this is quite silly, but seriously how can I align text in adobe acrobat? I could not find a way other than creating a new document file which allows me to use alignment options automatically (example below), however does not allow me that when I reopen the same file (alignment and text options just dissapear on the bars, funny). Help anyone please? =/

    Not that silly; but you ideally shouldn't be trying. Although there are some rudimentary (and sometimes unpredictable) editing tools in Acrobat, (I presume you are trying with the TouchUp Object tool as well as the TouchUp Text ?) much better to get it right in the source application and think of the pdf as what it basically is...a print.
    For whatever reason, v5 could edit text positioning rather more easily than the later versions.

  • Can't Move Text Into Vanishing Point Plane

    For some reason, when I select text and attempt to paste it into a vanishing point plane, the selection ends up 200% longer than what it should be, and I can't move the text layer into the plane. Screenshot attached.

    After you paste the text, (or anything previously copied to the clipboard before entering Vanishing Point) into Vanishing Point, there is no reason why you can't use Free Transform to scale it back to your required size, and aspect ratio.  If the text or object is too big, and the FT handles are outside the VP Plane, just drag it down so you can see the upper handles, scale it down, and drag it back into position.
    Note: that when using FT Perspective on any object (I am talking about outside of VP) it tends to exaggerate the 'length' because that's how we would probably see the object in real life.  Perspective I just about the only time I actually right click and chose an option from within FT, because it is so easy and quick to Ctrl (Cmd) drag a corner or center handle.
    Unfortunately you only get the basic FT options of size and aspect ratio from within VP, which is a pity because you can't distort your object to apparently wrap onto a curved surface.  I added some FT warp to this text before applying it from within VP.  I suspect I am missing a trick or two with VP as I don't use it very often, so I'd love to hear from someone who really has it under control?

  • Can't move text in Curriculum Vitae template (Pages 5.0)

    I know it's not a good idea to use a template for a CV, but I need one right away (Thursday) and I really like the Pages 5.0 template.
    The problem is, I'm trying to gain some space moving up the content of the page (and so using all the empty space at the top), but while I don't have problems moving up the table (on the left), I can't find a way to move the text (on the right) accordingly - like if there's an invisible roof. I tried tempering with the settings, but nothing
    Could someone help?

    You haven't said what version of Pages, nor which CV template.
    However I suspect, but can't be sure that it is Pages 5.2.2 and I think I know the CV template. It has a floating Textbox for the titles on the left and the regular document margins for the details on the right. A rather unwieldy arrangement.
    Change the Margins in Document.

  • Can't Move Text Boxes

    I am trying to add mobile pages from my mobile site, but when I copy/paste the text boxes from the desktop version, then try to move them, Muse crashes. It also crashed when I created a new text box, added type, and tried to move that. Here is the error message that I received each time:
    I have the latest version of Muse installed. I cannot move ANY boxes by clicking and dragging, but I can resize them. I have a ton of pages to do and can't spend the time nudging them or typing in values. I have no idea how to fix this, can anyone help?

    Hi,
    Could you please share your .muse file with us to investigate? Please email it to [email protected] If your file is greater than 20MB you can use something like Adobe SendNow or SendThisFile or Dropbox. Please do not forget to mention the link to this forum thread in your e-mail so that we can identify the file.

  • Can't edit text in Acrobat X Pro

    I can't seem to edit text properly in a recently created PDF document, using Acrobat X Pro. I went to the help file, and followed the instructions, but it isn't working right. All I need to do is replace the numeral "8" with a "7" in a paragraph. When I finally get to the point to edit the text, I can delete the "8" but when I type "7', it creates a large space instead.
    The instructions said that maybe I have to do something regarding the adobe font, so I did that, was able to finally enter a "7" but it messed up the formatting of the paragraph. Surely it can't be this hard to revise one character?

    Steve,
    There are definitely folks out there that have had the same problem in Lion.  Just to cover the obvious basics however ... Select the clip with the text in it (we are talking about Titles, right?). Then position your timeline vertical playback marker somewhere in that clip.  Go up to the preview window and make sure the little rectangle icon in the lower left corner is Blue (enabled) ... a little horizontal line will appear near the center of the text area with a little circle on the end.  Then go to a word in your text and double click it.  Does it select the word? Making sure again that the text clip is actually selected on the timeline, if it does not select the text then I probably cannot help you.  There are other discussions on this topic, but I really do not know for sure if there are resolutions.  FYI, I use FCP X with Lion and 16GB on a 2011 21" iMac and use text titles about 20 times a week and do not have a problem at all.  Still I know the problems others are seeing are real.  Best wishes,
    stephen

  • How can I move text onto the following line in CSS without making a new paragraph?

    Hello there,
    I want to do the follow:
    Name of company,
    Address of company 1,
    Address of company 2,
    Address of company 3,
    When I press enter to move the text underneath the previous text, it starts a new paragraph which I don't want. How can I simply get it to flow onto the next line without creating a new paragraph?
    Thanks so much in advance.

    You can use <br />
    <p>
    Address 01<br />
    Address 02<br />
    Address 03<br />
    </p>
    I'd probaly type it out in Code View but I think you can use shift+enter

  • I can't move text boxes out of box at top of page

    I am using the iWeb SEO program to optimize my site for search engines.  In so doing I created my own hyperlinked page names in individual text boxes and then placed them at the very top of the page.  The trouble is that they will not show up when I update the site and I cannot move them out of a box at the top of the page.
    There is a thin, wide rectangle sitting atop a thin line that runs all the way across the page.  I cannot delete that thin rectangular box and if I try to drag it down it hits the line and just pushes the line further down.  The same thing happens if I grab any of my navigation boxes (Home, etc.)  If I attempt to move them down than that thin line moves down as well pushing the rest of the content down as I go.  How do I rescue my navigation boxes from this area and why in the world are they locked in there in the first place???????

    Hold the command key to dag textboxes from one layer to another.
    And the default navigation links are locked in the naviation layer by design.
    To add your own custom navigation, have a look here :

  • I can't move text on top of an object

    Hi there. No matter what I do with "send to back" or "bring forward," or text wrap or the Ctrl+B function and check the little "ignore text wrap" box, I cannot get my text to show on top of a picture I imported. The text will appear in the text box to the left of the picture, but then runs right under the picture.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks!

    When you check "ignore text wrap", are you sure that it's the text frame with the errant text in it you are selecting?
    If you want the text to overprint the picture, you probably don't need text wrap applied to the picture. So check it's
    turned off, and then check there isn't another frame there with text wrap turned on.

  • Can u move text messages to a folder?

    i have a iphone 4, is there any way to keep or save text messages u get or to put them into a new folder on your phone?
    also when i search on my phone for texts by certain people is there a way to delete all the results/texts in one go?

    The answer to your first question - there are apps that will allow you to extract your texts and save them.   Try a google as there are many different ones both free and paid that you might want to peruse.    A lot of people will offer up opinions on which is best but there are many different choices.
    You can delete an entire conversation by right swiping on the person in Messages then hitting Delete.

  • Can I move text messages between 2 handsets?

    If I upgrade my iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4 / 4S, will it transfer all my text messages over to the new handset?

    so your saying if we sync our 3gs before syncing our new phone, it will transfer all text messages to the new device?
    what about voice mail? will those get transfered too or is there a way to get them off the 3gs?

  • Can't move layers in Mac Acrobat 9 Pro

    I can't move layers in Acrobat 9 Pro, even though Adobe says it's possible. All that I get is a circle wih a slash at the cursor on clicking and holding the mouse, indicating that moving the layer up or down in the stack is not possible. No key presses help either. Four attempts to get a definitive answer from Adobe Support yield only that they said it was possible. They also admitted that even if you did move a layer, it would not affect how the layer objects display, ie. whether above or below other layer's objects!
    Has anyone been successful in moving a layer?
    Relatedly, one (Windows) respondent says she can "position" a new layer upon Layer Import, but the Mac dialog makes no mention of the layer stack, just the X-Y coordinates on the PDF page....
    Thanks for any help or thoughts,
    fss

    Thanks guys for responding. I went through the usual steps of trashing preferences, shutting down the computer, going home, and drinking a beer. I got in this morning and booted her up, and now everything works just as it should.
    No idea what it was. I'm positive that the tracks weren't locked, and I'm 95% sure that I was in arrow mode (I was selecting the layer right before trying to move it.)
    I don't know what it was, but I hope it never happens again.
    Thanks again,
    Nathan

  • Animation: how can I move objects (and their transform keyframes)?

    Hi,
    I have created a project with a group of layers which all move (have transform keyframes set up).
    Now I want to move the group, but when I do this and then run the animation, the position of all the transform keyframes I have set up remain in the same place.
    Is there some way to move a group of objects and the location of their transform keyframes at the same time, or will I have to go through each keyframe and move them individually?
    Thanks!

    You need to get some understanding of HTML and CSS to know
    why building a
    web page is not like using a page layout program or even a
    word processor.
    Unfortunately that will require some effort on your part.
    You cannot just place things on the page in HTML - you need
    to build an HTML
    infrastructure to hold the elements you want to appear on the
    page, and to
    hold them in the location where you want them to appear. As a
    simple
    example, consider a 1 row by 2 column table, where each
    column is set to 50%
    width, and the table itself is 800px wide. An image placed
    into the second
    column will be located exactly 400px from the left margin of
    the page
    (assuming a) the image is less than 400px wide, b) the table
    has zero
    borders, cellspacing and cellpadding, and c) there is nothing
    wider than
    400px in the first column.
    Make sense?
