Client wants to edit text

I have a Flash site that currently uses static text fields.
My client has now come to me saying he wishes to be able to make
changes to the text content on a regular basis.
He does not own Flash or wish to buy/learn it so what would
be the best way I can offer him this control please?

Hello there,
In Flash, you can turn the static textbox into a dynamic one
and then load the text in from an external .txt file. That way,
your client only needs to change the .txt file.
Here is a good tutorial on how to do that.

Want to edit text, but do not have the font

Hello:
I have a certificate in a pdf file, and I have Adobe Acrobat XI. The file contains the fonts Shalom Old Style (only a couple of Hebrew words) and the font Sanvito.
Since I have neither font in Windows 7, I assume (also after having tried) that I cannot edit/change text in the pdf file. I converted to Word 2010 and made the changes, but, of course, it selected other fonts, and I could not convert back to pdf with the correct fonts.
Seems one can download fonts for free on the Web, but I am leery for two reasons: they usually are not free (and I am willing to pay) and the risk for malware is, I believe, high.
I would greatly appreciate your comments and assistance, esp. some source for not too expensive fonts (If I need them).
Regards,
Hans L

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Editing text module in pdf forms

i want to edit text in footer window.
how can i edit text in Footer text.

Hi,
Usually footer texts are displayed in Master pages.
If you don't see the tab in the Designer, display it by right-clicking on the Body page tab and start editing your text.
If you need dynamic content in your footer, use the floating field text inside your static text.

Viber: Editing text is hard to impossible - cursor jumps always to the end

Hi all,
everytime I want to edit text I'm entering into the message box, I'm not able to do it, since the cursor always jumps to the end of the text.
This makes it impossible to mark & copy some or all text, as well as rephrasing or correcting typos.
The only 'workaround' I found is to keep the finger on the target position (and having the looking glass active) and then type one character (or delete on).
I'm a little bit curious since my friend and me are experiencing that issue for a long time now though I found no reference on the net for it yet (except one to a wordpress app).
It happens on a 3GS as well as on a 4, at least all 6.* versions of iOS, with the previous (2.3.1) as well as with the current Viber version (3.0.0).
Also experienced on iPad (3rd gen, cellular edition) with 6.1.3 / 3.0.0
Any hints or tipps are very welcome!
Thanks in advance &
cu,

This is the forum with the most hits on viber topics, as well as they lack a forum at their site (or I did not find it).
You may want to point me to a place you think it is more appropriate and where I can post the issue (deeplink please, since I searched intensively before.)

Can my client add a link when editing text with the content management of Business Catalyst?

I created a site using Muse. My client chose to host with BC and take advantage of the content management option. She has edited text to include her email and wants to create a hyperlink from that text to her actual email. Is this possible and if so, do I need to change the user Permissions to allow her to do this?

Yes, she is editing content in the admin panel, but when she edits the text, she just gets the option to change text and update. There is not a button for hyperlink and then email. It seems like linking, something so simple, should be allowed. What do I need to do to allow this to happen for her?

Can't edit text in a client's file... Wisdom appreciated!

A client has sent me a file (PDF) that contains various elements: typography that's editable, illustrations that are editable, and some typography that does not seem to be editable in Illustrator.
The apparently non-editable type shows up each character as an individual element, but not as outlines; the characters are in a bounding box but if I click View>outline, I don't see the character's outlines I just see an empty rectangle.
The file came from an artworker and I don't know if he's got a different version of illustrator to me or what...
Keen to sort this withough having to re-type out all of the detail...
Any suggestions?!
Thanks

Likely a different version. Since you don't see the outlines OR the editable text in "Outline" mode, that tells me the text is embedded as a graphic or Symbol. Look in the Symbol panel and see if there are characters there.
Can you "Jump into" an individual character by double-clicking?
What do you see listed in the Layer panel for each element?

I want to edit the text within Captivate after importing slides from PowerPoint

Hi,
Background: I import slides from a .pptx file. Once the slides are created inside of Captivate, I want to edit the text on the slide, but I can't; it's all become part of the background. So, I am left with two options: 1) open the .pptx file, edit the text, and then re-import the slide 2) Manually create everything on the slide inside of Captivate. This is so labor-intensive. I was hoping Captivate 7 would address this, but what seemed could possible address it - High Fidelity - isn't available for mac. I'm sure others have this problem too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you'd better look at Adobe Presenter if you need only to convert a PPT to an eLearning course?
Captivate is much more powerful, but its principal goal is not to convert PPT's. Each PPT-slide is converted into a movie slide so that all animations will be transferred properly. Personally I never create presentations in PPT but always directly in CP. You could import only the backgrounds, and create the other objects in CP. Images can be imported into the library, audio as well.

OOPS..... Editing a 720p project... now client wants SD instead... Help?

OOPS..... Editing a 720p project... now client wants SD instead... Help?
Hi all,
I am fairly new into the HD edit paradigm. We shot a project in hd 720p to output as a 13 minute HD corporate video. Now my client wants a SD DVD instead. I have already edited the elaborate 13 minute piece in a 720p sequence (Complete with actors, green screen keying, animations from After Effects, and Titles generated in FCP.... yikes.
How can I change the sequence to SD? If I make the straight change in the sequence settings, every image and clip gets short and pudgy. Any pointers how to make this change-over as smoothly as possible?
Thanks a bunch.
Matt
Message was edited by: mabou

No... yes... well...
To MY eyes, I like the smoothness that the bitrate used in the 90minute uses. Again, to me, the 60 seems a bit too harsh.
Of course I formed this opinion on older DVD players and TVs -- but I still stand by it.

Client wants .mov or .avi viewable and editable on a p.c. Ugh!

Sorted out the media drive issue at least. The files are very large ntsc/dv exports.
.avi ntsc/dv codec isn't working, nor the original .mov exports.
I would have thought ntsc/dv would be a pretty standard codec on the latest build of Quicktime for Windows, but apparently not. The client isn't very media savvy. Should we advise him to try downloading any particular codec component packs?
Or do we need a conversion app? QT on mac seems to limit .avi encoding to none, ntsc/dv, animation, and cinepak.
Anybody had any success doing this?

Hi Joey,
DV usually works on both systems...
You need to deliver at the highest res possible since your client
needs to edit this material and the original source would be best.
However, before you start with big exports or conversion try one or two tests
with Uncompressed and Animation.
Yeah you might end up with huge files but what matter first is that
your client can play your delivered material at its best.
If she only needed to preview this you could suggest to download the ProRes decoder for PC.
So in short export a tiny portion of your material in Animation and Uncompressed (I'd stay away from exporting AVIs if possible)and see what she says

Editing text in Acrobat Pro doc using Reader

I've created documents in Acrobat 8 Pro for a client who needs to be able to add a few lines of text in Reader, then re-save and email the PDFs. Each time they try, though, they get the message telling them that they can't save the PDF and should print it out and fill it in.
Is there any way round this, other than my client buying Acrobat Pro?

I'm not talking about "major" edits either. If you have the original document, you always want to edit it first. It's just silliness to do anything else. Editing the PDF is asking for problems in many different forms.
That's the ideal but what if you do not have an original. Suppose the pdf was sent to you to correct.
I've been there. Also if a PDF is not been setup for Reader User Rights, by an individual, if you have a Pdf that has small defect, there is a tendency to to use touch up text. I've done that myself.
But if I find more than one or two items , I do as you. I just go back to riginal if I have it, and create a new one.
The above was to caution that if you hvae minor defects , you've either got to create a new version or create a copy with usage rights disabled, then work on that. You methos is the best.

How can I edit text in a tagged PDF?

I have created an accessible test form in Acrobat Pro X. Now that it has all been tagged and reading order touched up, the client wants to change the text. Is there any way to edit text at this point or do I have to create an entirely new tagged accessible form (very time consuming)?
I have tried:
TouchUp Reading order - when I select the block of text, nothing lights up on the TouchUp window
Form > Edit Document Text - I can place a cursor but it won't do anything.
Thank you for any help!

For Tagged PDF the replace page approach ought to be avoided.
The behavior seen when replace page is used for an existing page having annotations is not present.
Insert of a tagged PDF into another PDF can be a problem as well. The "incoming" structure tree is always placed at the end of the existing structure tree.
Manually remediating this can become nasty very quickly.
Using the Touchup / Edit text tool on a 'good' tagged PDF ought to be avoided as well.
Be well...

Exporting editable text PDF

I've seen this question posed but never saw a fit answer. I'm designing a document (price tags) for a client that needs to be client editable. For the full story, see below.
I've done the layout for the price tags in InDesign CS3 and am wanting to export a PDF that has pre-formatted text that can be edited by the client. I want the client to be able to enter in new information while maintaining the original design so as to be able to print endless new price tags on demand (and without my further involvement). I've tested several exports in Acrobat Pro and while I can highlight and copy the text, I cannot edit. I'm using the Acrobat presets export menu (press quality) in ID and have been unable to figure out how to set editable text.
I'm REALLY wanting to avoid using Word for this.

The controls for type size/style/color are unintuitive (IMO) in acrobat forms, but they are in there.
Open the PDF in Acrobat Professional (my example uses 7, so newer may be slightly different).
Select
Tools > Advanced Editing > Text Field Tool and draw a field on the PDF page. This SHOULD open the Text Field Properties dialog.
Under Appearance tab you can set the following:
(text field) Border, (text field) Fill, Font, Font Size, color.
Under Options tab, you can set horizontal alignment, character limit, single or multi-line, scrolling, rich text formats, etc.
Under format you can set what kind of data is in the field, such as numbers only, percentage, etc.
Under Calculate you can set whether the field is calculated using the values of other fields, etc.
So, you can set up one field and duplicate is as needed.

How do you edit text that is in a text box?

How do you edit text that is in a text box? I just want to change the font color of the text. Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
   Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
   Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
This is what the help files recommend
(Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
   Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
   Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
When I try the above solution I don't have a "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.
