Cannot get Typewriter tool to work correctly

i have acrobat professional 8.2.6 When filling in forms I have always had to click on the Typwriter for each line of text to be completed. PDF documents that I receive via email and open with following text above form :" Please fill out the following form" (with instructions for distribution for form author) I am able to fill out in a breeze, type is adjusted automatically for width of form field, etc. For PDF's that I have with the following message above form "This PDFcan be completed using the Typewriter Tool" I have a terrible time completing. As stated above I have to click on the Typewriter tool each time I want to fill in a new line of text; the cursor will open at new lines too low or high on page so I have to create text box and drag (each time I want to fill a new line) and I am unable to change font style or size. I am sure there is something I am just not accessing but I am mystified what it is. I am on macbook pro running OS 10.6.7
Thank you

Good day,
When you recieve a form that has already had fields added to it, filling it out is, as you said, a breeze.  The typewriter tool is a commenting tool and wasn't really designed to be used for filling out forms, though admittedly, a lot of our users do just that.  Unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of customization options available to make the tool easier for you to use when filling out these forms.
It's simply not what the tool was designed for.

  • I cannot get epson workforce to work correctly on imac mountain lion

    I have not been able to get the epson workforce to work on imac mountain lion.  I first tried using the epson software.
    Then read that I should do it from the mac's " printer/scan".
    Unfortunately when I get to the screen that says --add printer--- i cannot get workforce to appear.
    Can anyone walk me through it?
    I have it connected to my  netgear wireless router which is recognizing it on their management page?
    Help!
    Mahalo,

    First check to see if the device is compatilbe with ML, you can find that information at Mac Basics: Printing in OS X Mountain Lion & OS X Lion

  • Cannot Get Fade Tool to Work in LogicPro X

    Is it me or some obscure setting I've got?
    I cannot get the fade tool—formerly the corssfade tool—to create a crossfade between two adjacent audio regions in LP X, or create a fade-in or -out for a single region. I've followed the instructions, tried various zoom levels: nada. When I drag over a region, the icon turns into a grabbing hand and moves the region.
    Anyone else?
    If this is a bug, it's a bummer of one.

    Ah, it's regions I've been Flex-pitch editing. Hm, any way to get back standard editability for these regions, I wonder?

  • Need Help!  Cannot get SourceControl3.1  to work correctly.

    We are using RH8.  We have a project that needs updating to be current with newest software release.  There is a project manager in the home office and a technical writer working remotely in another state.  Our IT staff followed all the steps listed on setting up the SourceControl and this is what is occurring:
    I've tried it both as file system and as full embedded database solution. For files based solution I did create a history path. This is what I was working on Friday.  I had to set up another test machine here with RoboHelp in order to test it.  Same problem.  I can check out from either machine and checkin in. However the changes never get propagated to the other instance, even if you do a Get All. 
    Not sure if this is related, but the open project from Source Control does not work from within Robo Help 8 either. When I try to open a project that way, it just sits there on the open file dialog box.  From what the tutorial showed, it should start downloading the files and then you select the project file to open.
    Here's a sample screen shot. 
    I setup a brand new test database and project
    This one is using embedded database, not stored as files.
    Files are set to single checkout
    I modified on one machine
    Checked in ALL files
    Open project on other machine and get all files
    Changes not reflected
    Forced Get All
    Changes not reflected
    Here it is in the project directory... note the mod dates... the file is not updated.
    I would be so very grateful if someone could help figure out what is going on.  Thank you in advance.

    I Cannot get my organizer to work for Elements 13. "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program......" is the error I get. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program and tried various other things based on the MANY other complaints with this same issue and nothing is working. How can this problem be corrected?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Are you upgrading from a previous version of Photoshop elements or is this your first?
    Are you trying to load the organizer or the editor or do both fail?

  • I cannot get the subtitles to work no matter how many times I set it up and I am doing it correctly, what is wrong?

    I cannot get the subtitles to work no matter how many times I set it up and I am doing it correctly, what is wrong?

    if the material don't state there is subtitles in your language it don't include it
    and if will only show subtitles if the language you choose in the atv settings so if you have it set to french
    and the material only have subtitles in English and not french they will not display

  • I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.

  • I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off).  Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

    It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off).  Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi,  it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)?  Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

    Roger that.  Thanks for your time.

  • Cannot Get Animated Buttons to Work in DPS (InDesign 6.0) Help Please!!

    In DPS tips, using the iPad app, some of the navigational buttons appear like SWF buttons, but, I cannot get SWF buttons to work in DPS. I have been trying with Multi-States, but, cannot get that to work either. Can you tell me how to get a SWF like button to work in DPS - I'm working with ID 6.0.
    Do you have an eaasy answer? Is there a tutorial out there I can view? Is their a step-by-step I can read?
    BTW, I do understand how buttons work and the types of events that work in DPS.
    Thank you
    Lain Kennedy

    Hi Uwe,
    First, let me say "I cannot even believe all the wonderful information I have recieved from my original post," and, I want to thank you for your understanding.
    I have been a designer for many years, working before the computer, and, since the mid 80's working with a variety of software to produce both print and web projects. I must say, I am biased on the Adobe Creative Suite, and, have had amazing success with these tools.
    Nonetheless, I have been working with DPS for about a month now (and a month does not make a career), and, have to admit, I am looking at DSP as a Hybrid between Print and Web. Yet, it is neither print or wed, it is it's own element, and, I'm just having growing pains learning, especially the terminology.
    Yes, I am trying to explain SWF Buttons, when in reality, it is DPS Buttons, and, my thinking is based on print and web. Now, it is - in some ways - like going back to school learning DPS and DSP terminology. It is a bit frustrating, but, I know I will get it.
    Now that I have looked at my first MSO test, I followed the instructions in DPS Tips, I realize that the Button is in the "Normal State" as I (interact, this is my terminology) touch or hover to make the button work. It is in the "Click" state that the Button triggers the MSO to work, and, I finally get that now - okay, I'm slow to learn. And, I will be building a complex MSO to prove the point to myself.
    I was wondering, besides DPS Tips, are there any books, apps, specific sites that are very specific on "ALL" the things one can do with DSP? 
    Again, thank you and, all the folks who have taken their time to respond to my post. All the information is truly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Lain Kennedy

    I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.1 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

  • Ran Malware ANTI Malware on windows 7 64 bit PC now cannot get my tools menue on home page

    I am getting a lot of survay's popping up on my PC so I downloaded the free version of Malware Bytes Anti Malware, it took out my tools menue from my home page and adobe air aswell as HP smart web print along with some other programs, I have most back now, redownloaded windows
    photo gallery and movie maker and adobe air but I cannot get my tools menue back or HP smart web print, I do not think smart web print could be a virus as it was downloaded from HP web site.
    Using IE 9, can anyone help please.

    A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
    When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I cannot get airport extreme to work. Can you help me?

    I have a G5 Power PC. I recently purchased a macbook and an Airport Extreme. I cannot get the airport to work. Can somebody help me please??
    G5 Power PC and macbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   new OS X on Macbook

    I plug the ethernet from the airport to the back of the modem (a Webstar unit) from my cable provider. Then I plug the other cable from the back of the airport into my G5. Then plug in the power cord. I get lots of flashing lights - "thinkin & blinkin", but then I get a message that it cannot locate the server. Even rebooted. I've been waiting for the IT guy to call/email me back me back but no response yet. I'm guessing I may just need a new location, but I'm not wired to think IT-like (I'm a very right brained graphic designer), I I don't want to screw anything up.
    Do I need to just go through a new internet setup?
