Can't see text to edit in CS5

Hi all...
I feel extremely stupid asking this question, but using the trial of CS5, when I open a CS4 project I am unable to see the text which I want to edit.
I can highlight it (select), and view it in the other compositions but when i go to edit the text layer itself there is just the grey area (workspace) with no visable text, when i guess where it is and highlight it all i get is a shaded area.
I have to go back to the main composition to see the changes.
This did not happen in CS4.
What stupid mistake am i making?
Many thanks in advance

You edit text in the Composition Panel (comp window). Always have. You don't edit text in a Layer Panel. I'm not even sure how you would open a text layer in a Layer Panel. It would really help if I new a little more about your composition.
It sounds like the Text layer may be in a pre-comp and that the text may be the same color as the pre-comp background.   A screenshot of the project or a screenshot of the project flow chart would help.

  • I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. In Acrobat 9 Pro

    I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. I can do this in Acrobat 9 Pro with the Document pull down menu. Did they take this away in Acrobat X?

    Whether it's maxed or not doesn't make any difference.
    The bottom part of the image/scroll bar is always under the Windows taskbar any time the URL is opened.
    It is always fixed by doing something, either switching to and back from another window, or turning on and off one or more toolbars.
    That shouldn't be necessary. The bottom part should be visible when the URL is opened.

  • How can I see previously ViewNX2-edited photos (raw) in Lightroom 3?

    I recently bought Lightroom 3, and after importing my previously ViewNX 2-edited photos (in RAW, NEF), I saw that Lightroom doesn't show those changes. I can only see the photos in its original form.
    Is there a way to import them to Lightroom 3 and see the changes made in ViewNX 2?
    Thanks.

    If you want your VNX2 adjustments to appear in LR, you'll have to export as TIFF or JPG from VNX2 and import that file into Lightroom.

  • I can't see text when I open my .fla files.

    Open any file with text in Flash, I can't see it. The blue selection squares appear, and I can highlight the text, copy it, and paste it somewhere else, but I can't see it in Flash, even when it's highlighted or I change the font color. I am using Windows 7, and this problem came up yesterday. I could see all my text just fine before. Thanks in advance.

  • Can't See Text Usage Details On Old Bills

    I need to review text messaging details on bills from 2010. I can access those bills online and see summary information for both voice and text (and yes, text messages were sent/received each month), but I can only see usage details for voice usage. When I click on the Usage Details tab for any bill in 2010, and then click on the "Messaging" link, I see this message: "You do not have any Text & Picture Message Details for selected Cell Phone Number and Statement Date" -- even though text messages were sent/received on each cell phone on our account during that particular billing period. How do I fix this or get the text messaging details for my account otherwise?

    Is there a way to delete all details of calls and text messages? Even from online reports? I don't need them and don't want anyone to access them. I consistently chainge passwords but I am having a problem with an ex accessing my account. I have tried the lega route and they don't have laws etablished for a lot of things online. I am trying to protect myself. I need none of my activity displayed. Can someone please help me? 
    Thank you so much!

  • Can't see text on a PDF that has text and graphics.

    I create a monthly newsletter for a small non-profit and we send it out via email.  The original file is a publisher file then saved as a pdf.  When I tried to read it on my iPad, I couldn't see the text - only pictures.  However - everything is clear on my computer screen in the sent and received inbox.  I've never had issues with my newsletter being able to be read on an iPad before.  I want people to be able to read it on their phones, iPads, tablets....thoughts?

    Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.
    So, you are on the right track: if it can be edited, you need LiveCycle Designer. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it in this forum, so please try posting here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es

  • How can I see, use and edit contacts on PC without...

    Now I finally worked out how to sync my contacts to my N95 8G (see earlier posts), I would like to use this data, plus the calendar data on a daily basis on my PC and update it where necessary, before finally synching back to the N95 at the end of the day.
    Has anybody any ideas how this can be done ?
    With my old Palm-based system I would use the Palm desktop but the PCSuite (v. 7.0) doesn't seem to offer this functionality.
    Now the contct and calendar data must be copied there on the PC as I've performed a back-up via the Suite, but how do I get to see and edit this data (or a copy thereof) on the PC ?
    If Nokia can't be bothered to work out how to do this, has anybody come across any third party vendors who have ?

    Hi - sorry for the tardy response.
    When I saw that my Palm device was fading rapidly and that it was no longer supported by upgrades to new versions of Windows (a Sony Clie of 2002 vintage that I used for everything bar phone calls), I backed up my palm desktop contacts, calendar etc. to my Yahoo account with no problems.
    My other posts on this forum described my frustration at not being able to simply export a file back out of Yahoo that the N95 would understand, without losing bits of the contacts (e.g. all the telephone numbers). In the end I had to go via Outlook - my other post (copied below) describes how I did it.
    The approach is not perfect and I intend it to be a once only thing. I will still suffer the hassle of entering new contacts into both my N95 and my online address book as the Nokia PC Suite does not appear to accurately read csv files created by Yahoo.
    My poor user experience with N95 will make me think seriously about going back to a Palm-based / Blackberry device when upgrade time comes around again.
    1: Open Outlook and back up the existing contacts (that you wish to keep separate from your N95 contacts) by exporting them to the desktop in a .pst - "outlook.pst"
    2: Once they are backed up to Outlook.pst, select all these contacts in Outlook and delete
    3: In Yahoo, export all contacts to an Outlook format .csv file (note, Yahoo offers different .csv formats) - "Personal.csv"
    4: In Outlook, import the new Personal.csv file you have created. Check contacts. Delete duplicates, and check/update errors (i.e. use Outlook like the PIM that PC Suite ought to be and isn't !).
    5: In Nokia PC Suite, use the Synchronise function to synchronise the N95 with Outlook
    6: Select all personal contacts in Outlook that you just imported via persoanl.csv, delete them to clean out Outlook.
    7: Re-import the Outlook.pst file you originally created above to restore your original (work?) outlook contacts.
    Thanks for taking the time to share "our" frustrations. As you've indicated, after enjoying the ease of managing Palm data both on the device and on the desktop, the Nokia N95 simply falls flat on its face (despite the shopkeeper's assurance it was far and above better). I have found that at least the generic PC Suite has a means to view the calendar and contacts on the desktop provided the phone is hooked up by USB. I still had to manually enter everything onto the phone to get it all as I want it, and have decided to only put the stuff I truly need to have with me at all times. I also tried to download an MP3 program but it won't accept the format (and I thought Sony had the wrap on exclusivity!?). When Nokia or another company comes up with a truly do-it-all-right format, I'll be first in line. Meantime, I will take my Palm on trips, and will tuck the MP3 player in a side pocket. This was an expensive mistake that I won't make again.

  • Can't see original and edited Pic in My Catalogue

    I started using Photoshop Album Starter Edition yesterday. And I'm pretty sure that when I edited a picture, the catalog would insert the edited version right next to the original.
    Now, I cannot see both the original and the edited version. I see in the catalogue only originals I have not edited and the edited versions of all the others.
    In Windows Explorer it is clear that the original picture is there. Also, I can click on it and open with Starter Edition (Viewer), but that only lets me see a slide show version - no editing.
    I've tried reconnecting and finding (using menus and buttons) and I get an error message that the file(s) is/are already in the catalogue.
    The Show All option is on in the catalogue, BTW, and I have tried this on two different computers with separate downloads of APA SE (downloaded at separate times) with the same result
    If I change the filename slightly - e.g. file001.jpg => file001a.jpg, then I can import the picture, but renaming all the files would be a burdensome process.
    How can I view and edit both the original versions and the edited versions right next to each other?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm glad I wasn't going crazy, and there's a reason the originals weren't viewable. If I understand you correctly, the original can come back into view in PSA SE if I choose to "revert."
    Question:
    Does "Revert" mean that (1) the edited image disappears altogether - i.e., is deleted - or (2) the image doesn't show up in PSA SE's catalog any more, but still exists physically on the drive?
    As to why I'm trying to fight PSA's help: Sometimes I just want to see the original and the edited versions to see if I really prefer the edited version better, or want to try different editing options. I know you can do this side by side in the "before & after," but the images there are not very large.
    And I guess you're right about duplicating if I want to do different things with the same image, but that requires planning ahead, a trait which I ....
    So, Question:
    Is there some way to fight back and win, i.e., get the catalog to show both the originals and edits, other than individually renaming each original file and importing it again?
    If not, then I'll have to look at the images side by side in windows explorer or do the duplicate option.
    Thanks again!

  • Can't see "Add or Edit Fields" menu in Acrobat 9 Standard v9.5.2

    I am trying to edit the fields of an Adobe form from one of my co-workers.  We both are running Acrobat 9 Standard v9.5.2.  She is able to see the Forms-->"Add or Edit Fields" menu, while I cannot.
    I cannot get this menu item to show?  Can someone tell me if there is an option or setting to enable so that I can get to this menu item?
    Here is a screenshot of the form:
    Here is a screenshot of the Adobe Acrobat version we are running:
    Thanks,

    Finally found a work around to my problem.  Here are the steps:
    (1) The original form.  Note missing "Add or Edit Fields" menu item.
    (2) Click on Document-->Extract Pages
    (3) The following dialog pops up.  Since I am only working with a 1 page form I accept the defaults and click OK.
    (4) The following window is launched.  Now I just save the newly generated form:
    (5) Now when I check the Forms menu, I finally see the "Add or Edit Fields" item:  Yay!!!!
    (6) In checking the Document Properties of the new form, the Application (PScript5.dll)  and PDF Producer (GPL Ghostscript 8.15) metadata is still the same as before:
    Still don't know why I couldn't get to the "Add or Edit Fields" menu item in the original form.  After doing the Extract, now I am able to get to it.   At this point that's all I care about right now.
    Thanks George for helping me investigate this issue!

  • How can i recognize text and edit (highlight) it in a pdf without converting it to a word document?

    PDF scanned as an image , want to recognize text and highlight it in the pdf format

    Hi lateefa_k,
    Adobe Acrobat lets you perform OCR (optical character recognition) on scanned documents: Acrobat Help | Scan documents to PDF.
    If you want to give it a try, you can download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat and give it a spin: PDF creator, edit PDF | Adobe Acrobat XI subscription.

  • Can't see text in blank document

    I am new to macs and am having trouble using Pages '08. Whenever I try to write in a blank document I do not see a cursor. If I write click type appears highlighted in pink, but when I try to type over it, the text disappears. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I am using Word Processing rather Page Layout, so it's not that. Any help would be much appreciated

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Two things you may not have done.
    First, use the Mac OS 10.6.2 combo update. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
    Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. iWork '09 has since had update 3. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Flash Pro CS6 can't see a font Flash Pro CS5.5 CAN?

    I just downloaded and installed the trial for Flash Pro CS6 so that I can use native extensions when exporting to iOS.  When I open my project, the "Font Mapping" pannel opens up and complains that "the document contains one or more fonts currently not available on your system".  The font is installed.  When I open the project in CS5.5 there is no issue.
    I have tried delete to the fontlist.txt in the configuration folder but that didn't work ...
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Could you try and recreate the whole of your preferences folder (and not only your fontlist.txt file) to see if it makes any difference?
    Here's how you do it:
    1. Launch apps
    2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt immediately before launching the first screen
    3. Pop up would appear to delete the prefrences
    4. Select  yes  from pop up
    5. launch again.
