Cannot Edit Text and No Answer Here Fits

I'm trying to edit text in a doc I created some time ago in ID CS6. I can't access it to edit. The layer is not locked, and the text is not on a master page. I can access text on some pages but not others, and I can't figure out the difference.

I have the frame edges visible option on, so there's no problem when I can see the frame. In other cases, I can only see the frame of an image on the page, and trying to select another object (where the text is) above or below doesn't work. I just don't understand why all these frames are no longer visible like I left them.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to unlock the frame; and I don't know what a reveal triangle is. I'm working in Windows, by the way.

  • How do I leave editable text and images in a PDF?

    I recently bought a flyer template and it came as an editable PDF.  Here is one of the templates http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
    Every field, both text and graphic object, is fully editable in the free Adobe reader.  I have Acrobat X and have tried all the methods of producing something like this but nothing has worked.  I wish to produce not just one page template PDFs that can be edited like the one above, but I also have a 20+ page magazine, which currently is distributed in PDF form and I wanted certain image and text fields within the magazine to be customisable too. 
    I design the magazine using InDesign and the exported pages are composed of 1 large background image with text fields laid over the top.  I have tried exporting it as an interactive PDF, ticking the layers option for Acrobat, but when I try to create an editable form (Tools>Forms>Create>Open file) it does not recognise any of the text fields at all.
    Can someone please help me before I slam my head repeatedly in a door?  I have been searching for a solution for so long and I'm getting rather frustrated.
    Thank you in advance
    Wendy-G

    Thanks for the replies I've had so far, but I really need some detailed help to sort this.
    I want to be able to create a PDF that has editable text and editable graphics over a background image, that can be edited in the free Adobe Reader, as per this item - http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
    I know this was designed in LiveCycle and I have LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but LiveCycle is new to me.  I am a quick learner (I use Photoshop, InDesign, etc) and need help in getting started.
    I am willing to work with someone to help get this sorted but it is urgent that I get to grips with this.
    Thanks so much for helping

  • I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

    I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
    When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
    If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
    I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
    Thanks

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
    Of course, I have done all the steps you mention,  but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
    I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
    Mode color: black on white
    Resolution: 600 ppp
    As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
    Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
    And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
    Are these values congruous or compatible?
    Thank you

  • Cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box

    In the previous print screen, the layer icon has a paintbrush in it. In the new menu page I cut and pasted the text is still 'text' layer. I am not able to format it other than change font color. I want to make it two columns of text like the original pdf, and change the font.

  • Taking data from a edit text and placing it in a matrix

    Hi all, this is most probably a silly question and simple as pie for everyone on this site, but i just can't get it to work .
    Im trying to take data from a edit text and then place it into the matrix.the matrix has been added to the form already. my code looks like this
    dataSource = oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("MyData", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT, 20)
    oColumn = oColumns.Item("ItemC")
    oColumn.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "MyData")
    dataSourceED = oEdit.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("MyDataED", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT, 20)
    oEdit.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "MydataED")
    dataSource.Value = dataSourceED.Value.ToString(oEdit)
    oMatrix.AddRow()
    Please can someone show me how it should be actualy done because i think the above is totaly wrong.

    I thought it was wrong Alexey Grebennikov because it wasn't doing anything.  I original said
    If (FormUID = "UidFrm") Then
    If (pVal.Before_Action = False) Then
    If (pVal.ItemUID = "Add") And (pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED) Then
    AddToMatrix()
    end if
    end if
    end if
    then in AddMatrix() it had the code listed before,it was in a try block but i was not diplsying the error in the catch part,my bad/fault   but i've added it to a try block with it displaying the error in the catch block and i'm getting the error
    "Object Variable or block variable not set" when it gets to the line
    dataSourceED = oEdit.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("MyDataED", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT, 20)
    any ideas what this error means, if i know that i think it will then work.
    Thank you to both of you Auzillaud Antoine and Alexey Grebennikov for helping. Auzillaud Antoine i tried loadfromdatasource and the other code but it obviously picks up the error before getting to the code you supplied. If i can figure out the error i'm sure it will all work.
    So please, any ideas why i get the error
    "Object Variable or block variable not set"

  • Installed update (11.0.08). App still crashes if I try to edit text and images. Any help?

    Installed update (11.0.08). App still crashes if I try to edit text and images. Any help?
    1)Specs:  Alienware M17 R4 (laptop)
    GPU: GeForce GTX 675M
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)  i73840QM CPU @ 2.80GHz
    Memory: 16GB RAM (15.89 GB available)
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080, 60Hz
    OS: Windows 7 home premium
    2) There is no error message. Acrobat simply closes on me without warning. The program stays open for a brief time, but then closes at random.
    3) I have tried running it as an admin, but it does not change anything. The program still closes without my consent.
    4) I have tried installing and reinstalling multiple times. It does not work even if I do not get the update (11.0.08)
    Thanks,

    In that case we might want to have a look at the crash logs to check what is failing.
    How to create a user-mode process dump file in Windows Vista and in Windows 7
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931673
    Also please be aware that if you are using a 64-bit system you need to follow a different procedure to collect the DMP file to avoid us getting  this error from the IDE when attempting to view the file “Debugging a 64-bit dump of a 32-bit process is not supported, please collect a 32-bit dump of a 32-bit process."
    You can get the correct dump by going to the location referenced in this blog excerpt:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amb/archive/2011/05/12/do-not-collect-32bit-process-dumps-with-64b it-task-manager.aspx
    So, you need to use 32bit debugger, if you would like to collect a dump of a 32bit process. So, if your process is 32bit, then you need to run 32bit version of the task manager on a 64bit OS. 32bit task manager is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and the name of the file is taskmgr.exe.

  • Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
    It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
    My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
    Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
    Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
    Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
    All of these options do not seem too great to me.
    I am open to any ideas.
    Thanks,
    Rob

  • Cannot edit text sufficiently within the Photo E-mail service (Elements 11)

    Greetings to all, a little help required please....
    Just purchased Elements 11 - excellent product at the price and am having a great deal of fun using it.
    One frustrating flaw within the Photo E-mail service....
    I've been using the Adobe e-mail service and it sends e-mail just fine having set up the account as required. 
    Each new e-mail appears with the text "Here are the files I want to share with you."
    Now I'd like to replace that with some different text.  I can delete it and replace it on the first editing page, and it stays there after I click 'Next' to the following 'Customise Layout' section.
    Clicking on 'Next' after this page, we have the final e-mail page, and the text has reverted back to 'Here are the files I want to share with you' again......
    I can delete it again, but cannot type in any further text anywhere on that screen.
    Any help on this??
    Shame, because the programme generally is superb.  Have transformed a number of pics already, and it would be nice to use the e-mail prog that's built in as I'd like to use it, adding text as required.  Otherwise, why have all the font and layout choices available if not??

    I tried the same and its changing at my side.
    Try to reset you preferences :
    Open PSE just to the Welcome Screen and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Mac: Cmd + Opt + Shift) and keep pressing.
    Click on organizer from the Welcome Screen but keep pressing the keyboard keys - don't let up.
    You will get a little dialog box asking if you want to delete the settings file. Click "Yes."  You can let go of the keyboard keys now. 
    This will rebuild the file for you and often solves the issue.
    Try to send the email again.
    Thanks

  • Cannot Edit Text Box

    I have opened a file that I wish to edit. I cannot edit the text within one of the text boxes. The text box is not locked.
    Any insight?

    Chuck
    Any hints as to what actually happens when you try and edit it?
    We try and not play 20 questions, but here goes…
    1. Is the text actually in a textbox, ie is it possibly a graphic like a .tiff or .pdf?
    2. Is it under something else?
    3. Is it a master object? +Menu > Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects selectable+
    4. Is it bigger than a breadbox?
    5. Is it animal, vegetable or mineral…

  • Cannot edit text in Mac Mail

    Just updated to Mavericks (10.9.4) on my MacBook Pro, and among many other annoying issues, when I type out an email I cannot easily edit the text once typed. For instance if I misspell a word, I cannot click on it with my cursor to edit; I have to click at the end of the line of text and delete all the way back to my error. Has anybody heard of this and know any way to resolve? Thus far, my experience with Mavericks has just been a slow rollout of odd issues

    What about other applications, such as TextEdit?

  • Cannot edit text in menu page

    I cut and pasted from a pdf to a menu page. I want to work with the font to make it more readable, but I can no longer select the text. What did I do wrong? I can't edit in Encore or Photoshop. I can select the layer, but not the text.
    I am trying to reproduce the page by duplicating it and adding the text again, but I cannot figure out how I got it there in the first place (to appear as it did in the pdf) It keeps pasting as an oversized text block in one column.
    In other words, How do I edit text that has been pasted onto a menu page? Seems it keeps wanting to create another text layer - in Photoshop as well

    In the previous print screen, the layer icon has a paintbrush in it. In the new menu page I cut and pasted the text is still 'text' layer. I am not able to format it other than change font color. I want to make it two columns of text like the original pdf, and change the font.

  • Cannot Editing Text in Acrobat 8

    I opened customers pdf in Acrobat 8 Mac. Went to properties and found font name and opened it. Was able to edit Optima fonts but was not able to edit any of the Avante Garde fonts. I changed the avante garde text to times and arial, and still got an error message: "All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font." Seems like it will only accept a few fonts and Acrobat's font list is different than my Suitcase Fusion list - even if I have them open if Suitcase.
    How change I change fonts to MY fonts and EDIT them?? Thanks

    Have a PDF Form created in Photoshop and converted to a PDF. Would like to edit text in the form but the TouchUp Text Tool won't work. It is as though it doesn't recognize the text. Any ideas as to how I can edit text in the form. I need to delete text, add new text and move existing text.

  • Cannot edit text or any command other than print in Adobe Acrobat 9.0.1 Pro. Receive error message

    I just installed adobe acrobat 9.0.1 Pro and it opens up pdfs and prints fine but when I try to edit text or enter any other command I get an error and it gives the option of cancel to debug or to exit program.
    Error message:
    The instruction at “0x2b806327” referenced memory at “0x00000348”. The memory could not be “read”.
    Click on ok to terminate the program
    Click on CANCEL to debug the program
    At first it stated that it did not recognize the font but when I looked it up under file, properties, fonts. The font was helvetica (embedded subset) for all the fonts on the pdf file. I have also checked the sercurity tab as well and there is no security on the file.
    When I choose cancel to debug it just terminates the program. When I choose ok it terminates the program.
    Please help.

    Maybe your installation is currupt (scratched CD)
         Reinstall on another maschine (and clean CD) to validate this case.
    Update your Acrobat, maybe the corresponding files are replaced or the error is fixed.

Maybe you are looking for
