    What are you actually trying to do? Don't forget that Acrobat is not really an editor, but provides some tools to allow minor edits. If the file has security set, you may no be able to do anything.

    No. You have to purchase LCD separately now.

  • Cannot edit document text

    I selected Edit Document Text under Tools | Content | Edit Text & Objects. I place my cursor on the pdf and nothing happens. I then thought that the problem might be that Acrobat does not recognize the text. So I enabled OCR. I then placed my cursor before the text I wanted to change, typed, and nothing happened. The cursor did move to the right, but no new text appeared and the underlying text remained unchanged.
    How can I edit the text?

    To see changes, you have to have OCR'd with Clearscan. If you used either of the Searchable Text options, then you would only change the hidden text (I have not tried that) and the picture of the original would remain unchanged.

  • Cannot edit my PDF

    I just bought a yearly membership for $24 to be able to convert my pdf to word.  that didnt work. Is there a way to be able to edit the pdf file?Can

    Hi marina kalen,
    Please give us a few more details about what the problem is. Have you been unable to convert the files? Or to edit the files once you've converted them to Word?
    If you've been able to convert, try triple-clicking in the text block that you want to edit in Word.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, let us know and please provide some more detail about the problem.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Help - cannot edit a pdf containing bridge hands

    I have spent over a week trying to edit the text from a pdf containing bridge hands, similar to what you see when you look at a newspaper bridge column. I downloaded the trial version of Acrobat XI last week, intending to purchase it if I can get it to work, but I cannot. I have attached a jpg of page one. Can anyone help?

    Does that PDF contain actual text, or is it a scanned image?
    If you are unsure, share the actual PDF itself: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
    If the document is a scanned image, you will need to perform text recognition (OCR) on it before you can edit the text.

  • Cannot edit 'print pdf to folder' menu in Lion

    With Lion when printing I am no longer able to edit the drop down PDF menu that resides in the left lower corner of the Print window. This is the menu that contains items such as "Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder". I can go through the process to edit the menu as far as selecting a new folder to save PDF's to but the selection is not retained in the dropdown menu. In the past this feature facilitated paperless sorting and filing of documents.
    Has anyone experienced this?
    Does anyone have a fix?

  • Cannot edit background pdf in designer

    Hello, I am attempting to add some lines of text to some pdfs with forms created in earlier versions of livecycle designer. I am opening the form in designer ES3, but it was created in 8.
    I cannot modify the text of the actual PDF in the background. It will allow me to select it in preview mode, but not in design view. Please advise.
    edit: In addition, I have another PC with Acrobat X and the LiveCycle that comes packaged that is able to perform these edits.
    edit 2: Many options are greyed out. When I hover over them this is the message: "this type of object cannot be used in forms with pdf artwork".

    Umm,
    I don't see how you could do this with Designer.
    A background artwork is a rendered PDF created by Designer's import filter when you build new a form from an existing PDF file.
    Except the tag structure Designer itself does not have any tools to edit PDF's, it creates XML based forms (XPD) which it can be saved as PDF files.
    You may have to edit the orginally PDF file, you used once to create your form.

  • Cannot edit original pdf doc on my Mac which I put into my ibooks library.

    Selected pdfs on specific folders to be placed inside ibook running MacOS X 10.9
    I highlight the doc, but receive a warning: " The original document cnát be changed, so a duplicate with your change has been made"
    How to solve this? Best regards

    I have this same issue. I even created a copy of the original and then put it into ibooks and the problem persists. Ibooks is such a half baked product.

  • Cannot Edit Documents Through WebDAV

    We have recently installed 9ias (infra902 + mid902) on RH Linux AS 2.1, added some recommendated patches, installed mid903 on same server. So far, everything seems to be working fine. I am in the process of building and setting up some portal pages and want to expose the WebDav functionality to our users instead of having them download and upload documents. I connected to dav_portal/portal and was able to successfully see and open the documents. But after editing them, I was not able to save them back because they were read-only. I tested this with text, Word, and Excel documents. I compared the oradav.conf file to the one in Note:207548.1 How to configure and test WebDAV for Portal 9.0.2. I am using a Win2000 machine with Office2000. Is there some
    configuration/setup I am missing?

    Yes, it works fine through copy/paste. But it asks my username and password when I open the Web Folder, even if I have a session opened in the web UI or in my iFS application.

  • Edit documents .pdf to word

    Hello  I have adobe acrobat professional. I need to edit some
    text in some pdfs. When I try to convert the pdf to word, the
    pages are jpeg instead of text. How do I edit the text?

    You can directly edit PDF files in PDF format, it may be unnecessary for you save PDF as word. Anyway, if you want to save pdf as word and found that the text are images, you need to make use the original page is a image, not editable text. Have you checked that in your Acrobat Pro? You can also use PDF OCR to resolve the problem--tranfer images to editable text. Google is good buddy to help you find some free applications. Be well.

  • Signed into my account but cannot edit existing PDF.

    Opened a PDF and clicked on "Edit PDF." It says "Get started now!" I click on that and it tries to sell me a one year subscription for $14.99 a month. Gee...seems like I'm already paying $19.99 for the same thing. There's a big vote of confidence for Adobe. Can't edit a file even though I'm logged into the account that I'm paying 30% more for. Anyone else have this problem

    Hey jdatbs077,
    You might have signed in to your account using Adobe Reader after subscribing to Adobe online service.
    In order to edit PDFs, you might need to purchase subscription for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to access its features and functionalities like editing, commenting, etc.
    Why don't you try downloading a 30-day free trial version for Acrobat Pro DC and see how it goes:
    Refer: Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
    Let us know.

  • Cannot edit embedded PDF file

    Hello,
    I have created a form that is fillable by Reader users (using the "Extend Features..." function in the Advanced menu).  I have attached a file (another fillable PDF) using the "Attach file as a comment" function, but when opened in Reader, the embedded file is not able to be saved/filled in/digitally signed/etc.  Is there a way to accomplish this (or maybe another way to accomplish)?  I need the file to stay attached and filled out while embedded to avoid the need for a senior leader from having to save and reattach.  Thanks for any help available.

    Thanks...do you know if there is something else I can do in place of this?  Thanks for an assist.
