Cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box

I cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box after saving and closing the pdf file and then reopening it. I go to add additional text in the Text Box, and nothing happens.
Hope you can lend me a hand,
Richard
Adobe X Pro 10.1.4

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 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…

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

Create editable text boxes in pdf

How do I create editable text boxes in a pdf that I uploaded to Acrobat? I can only fill and sign at this point (but have a subscription to Adobe).

You need Acrobat, either Standard or Pro, either as a full license or a
subscription.

EDIT TEXT BOX IS GRAY. CANT EDIT DOC. THAT I'VE CREATED

THE EDIT TEXT BOX I GRAY. I CAN'T CHANGE THE TEXT ON THE DOC THAT I'VE CREATED.

I will assume that your are talking about PDF files. Does your document contain real text, and not just images of text? Are you using Acrobat, or another program with PDF editiong capabilities? The free Reader has no editing capabilities.

Apple Preview: While moving/editing text boxes created by others in a PDF, font color of that text changes for some reason and I don't want it to!!

I have a project where I've given about 10 people 50 PDF files each to mark up in red text, and send back to me. When they send them back, I in turn need to move or edit some of the text boxes they have created in Apple Preview. For about 8 of these 10 people, when I edit their text boxes and/or move them, Apple Preview immediately changes the text color of the red text to black, or to white. How do I get it to stop doing this? Is this a setting I need to have them change on their end? Or can I fix this on my end (preferable)?
Here is a link to such a file:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/rlemQEcJ/_online.html
When you try to move or edit the text "Sollazzo", it changes to black or white. I need it to say red. Thank you for your help!

It doesn't go anywhere in that: that isn't a feed, it's a web page. A feed is a text file in XML format.
Would you like to post the URL of your iTunes Store page?
This page about podcasting includes a basic sample feed so you can see what one should look like, and at the bottom of the page is the method for redirecting iTunes to a new feed.

How to edit text box in Acrobat XI, created by prior versions of Acrobat

Hi, I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to edit a text box that was created in an older verison of Acrobat and used to fill out a form.
In my case, I've added text boxes over pre-existing text using an older version of Acrobat.
When I try to click on the text box, however, it seems to pick up on the pre-existing text and not allow me to edit the text box that I created in the past.

Try to edit the text with the 'Add Text Comment' tool which resides in Comment pane. The text used to fill the form may have been written as annotation, hence when you are trying to edit those with editing tools, original text is being edited.

Editable text box on each page, but generated from Master Page?

I want to create a blank text box that lives on the Master Page so that it shows up on each page in the document, but I then would enter custom text into the field on each page ( or just leave it blank).
I know, I know, I can do simply copy a text box from one page, and paste in place on all subsequent pages... or set it up once on a page, then just keep duplicating that page... or some other work around. But simple as those work arounds are, I'd just like a blank text box show up automatically on each page as a master page item, then I can enter text as a see fit and not have to do any duplicating tricks. I've looked up a few tutorials, but none solve for my need.
So I guess the real question is, does InDesign allow the content of a master page text field to be individually edited on the pages of the document itself?

It's bet to NEVER use the override master page items command since it overrides ALL master items. That's like using a wrecking ball as a flyswatter. And you don't need to put random text in the frame either (especially since you said you don't want to use it on some pages, though it might be best for those if you create another master without the frame). To override any master object hold Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) + Shift and click on it with the selection tool.

Cannot edit text in Master Page

I don't work in InDesign often. I had created a template file for a book back in December of 2011 (originally created in CS3). I opened this file in CS6 today and did a Save As. Now it's time to edit a few things to customize it for this new book. So, I went into the Master Pages to tweak some things. But, I can't edit any text. I can click on some photos (not all), but no text is selectable or editable. What in the world has happened to my file?
I also went back to the final files for the book I did in December (not the template file, the actual working files). Those give me the same behavior. Text that should have been editable is not even selectable. Again, some photos can be selected and moved, etc. but no text/text boxes.
Is there some conversion that takes place opening a CS3 file in CS6 that is causing this to happen? How do I fix it?
Thanks,
Matt Tyree

The corrupted ID CS2 document has now been rebuilt using tagged text conversions, and is now only 3Mb, with .INX > .INDD conversions appearing to reducing the .INDD file size, rather than bloating each time.
However, the Acrobat X Pro 'Compare Documents' feature is less helpful than before (v6 Pro), e.g. showing spurious differences such as:
[Old text]: "personally-addressed"
[New text]: "personally-addressed"
and oddities like (perhaps flagging ID tagged text problems):
[Old text]: " METHODOLOGY"
[New text]: " MetHoDoLoGY"
[Old text]: " [?993 ]"
[New text]: " [?993]"
? = 'box corner' symbol. As this unanswered forum poster from 2011 says, 'Compare Documents' is too sensitive:

My ID report co-author is not interested in 'style' differences, only word/alphabetic variations.

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 resize text boxes or shapes

I have done something, somehow and can't figure it out. When I draw a text box or a shape I am unable to resize with my marquis tool. I have to use the transform tool or the group marquis to grab individual points. I was able to before but must have hit a quick key by accident and can't figure out what I have done. Any help would be appreciated!
CS1 for Mac.
Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
Try View > Show Bounding Box.
You probably mistakenly hit the shortcut key to turn it off at some point.
And just for future reference, they are Selection tools in Illustrator, not Marquis tools. Someone may be confused by your terminology and it'll help to use the proper names.
Hope that helps.

Cannot Edit Text

I am a Rasmussen online student with an assignment due!!! I create a text box, double click on the text to highlight it, I then move up to change my font style, or anything on the top editing tool bar and it will not let me change anything.

Version of InDesign? OS?
If you are using Windows 7, see InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)

I cannot link text boxes in Pages 5.0 like I could in previous versions. Solutions?

In previous versions of Pages, one could create text boxes and then link them. This was very useful for creating multi-page booklets with proper pagination, without having to use an expensive publishing software. Linking of textboxes is no longer available in Pages 5.0. Does anyone have a work-around for this problem?

Pages 5 has over 90+ missing features.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Trash or archive Pages 5 (after exporting any documents back to Pages '09 format) and review it in the App Store.

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.
