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.

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.

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:

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.

Can I add a link into a text box with in-browser editing

Is it possible to set up a text box with some text and subsequently change the text to include a hyperlink with in-browser editing with a site hosted on a third party server?
Thanks/Richard

Hi Richard,
You can add the the link to the text using the Hyperlink manager at the top. You can link it with any internal or external URL.

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…

Editing Text Boxes, Acrobat X Pro

2 Questions.
1. I would like to change the fill/background colour of a text box but can't find where to do it? Can someone point me in the right direction. Right now, my text boxes are all white. I would like them to be a different colour with white text. I can select white for my text, but can't seem to change the background.
2. I would like to merge all my text boxes so that if opened by Acrobat, people don't see hundred of text boxes when they click on an area that has text boxes. But they should be able to see the text.
Thanks.
Stan.

Figures I figure out how to get MORE back after I post, but still no properties. This is what I get now.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
Please Help!

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

Set permissions for everyone to edit text on a website (Was: Editi text)

How do i site my site up so any one can editi the text on the site

Are you sure you want just anyone to be able to edit text on your site? That's a little dangerous don't you think?
If what you're really asking for is a password protected online editor, you need a Content Management System or CMS.

Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
in which I've selected 'NO border'
Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
Please fix this Adobe.
and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
Thanks
Hope this is resolved soon.

How do i move the curser in the text box? i cant move it further than the last letter shown in the text box.

when trying to change a search query in the text box how do i move the curser to the end of the query that is off screen.
androids default browser comes up with a little blue arrow that i can drag.
i should ssy this is only a problem when entering text in google search box for example and not in firefox search/address bar.

We don't have a good way to do that yet. We just landed a thumb cursor on our nightly build. Which if all the tests pass it would show up on the Sept 14th [http://nightly.mozilla.org nightly].

Cant Edit Message Body (outlook 2003 and 2007), Cant select text VIA click (word), Cant Edit Advanced Options (word)

A number of my users are having similar problems across the entire network. These issues have started on 8/26/2014
This problem is not localized to a specific outlook version, the problem is happening on 2003 and 2007 alike. Also this problem is starting to move into MS-Word.
In outlook i am unable to click the message body. If i click the message body nothing happens. I cannot select any text, type, or anything in the message body. I am however able to type in the message body if i press the 'tab key' and navigate to the message
body.
I have wiped out profiles. reset all user settings, changed datafiles etc. Nothing i do seems to affect this problem.
On microsoft word i am unable to edit a number of documents. These documents are readable, editable etc on different computers. There are not any protections on the files. The user who reported this problem is however unable to edit the text even though
others are able to. To correct this problem we have protected and unprotected the file checked permissions all with no luck.
On the same computer i am unable to change any advanced options. When i attempt to click the listing nothing happens. Its acting in the same manner as outlook is described above. However i am unable to select anything using the 'tab' key.
These problems started on a few different computers, but is beggining to spread and affect more users across the network.
This also does not seem to be a group policy issue. We have a number of different user groups on the network, and this problem is not isolated to any specific user, or group, group member etc..
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to lend some assistance to solve this matter.

Can I add forms or text boxes to a pdf in Acrobat that can then be edited in Reader?

Hi,
I'm trying to add forms to a pre-existing pdf in Acrobat which can be saved then filled with text in Adobe Reader.
So far, I've managed to add two forms to my document in Acrobat, but when I enter text into one, it automatically copies into the other.
Can anyone tell me if i'm going about this the right way or where i'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

To prevent the automatic copying of the field values, just rename the fields so they are not the same. Any fields with the same name will have the same value.
Note that if the form needs to be saved by Reader users after they fill it in, you will have to Reader-enable the document, unless all of your users will have Reader 11. Do this in Acrobat 11 by selecting (while not in Form editing mode): File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
