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.
Stan.

Can't edit text in Acrobat X Pro

I can't seem to edit text properly in a recently created PDF document, using Acrobat X Pro. I went to the help file, and followed the instructions, but it isn't working right. All I need to do is replace the numeral "8" with a "7" in a paragraph. When I finally get to the point to edit the text, I can delete the "8" but when I type "7', it creates a large space instead.
The instructions said that maybe I have to do something regarding the adobe font, so I did that, was able to finally enter a "7" but it messed up the formatting of the paragraph. Surely it can't be this hard to revise one character?

Steve,
There are definitely folks out there that have had the same problem in Lion. Just to cover the obvious basics however ... Select the clip with the text in it (we are talking about Titles, right?). Then position your timeline vertical playback marker somewhere in that clip. Go up to the preview window and make sure the little rectangle icon in the lower left corner is Blue (enabled) ... a little horizontal line will appear near the center of the text area with a little circle on the end. Then go to a word in your text and double click it. Does it select the word? Making sure again that the text clip is actually selected on the timeline, if it does not select the text then I probably cannot help you. There are other discussions on this topic, but I really do not know for sure if there are resolutions. FYI, I use FCP X with Lion and 16GB on a 2011 21" iMac and use text titles about 20 times a week and do not have a problem at all. Still I know the problems others are seeing are real. Best wishes,
stephen

Question about editing text for Acrobat 9 pro...

I recently switched to Vista and Acrobat 9 pro and everytime I go to edit my PDF I use the "text touch-up" tool just like I should yet the tool just shifts and distorts the text without actually replacing or deleting any of the text. Has anyone encountered/know how to fix this problem? Thank You.

Such problems are not new with AA9. Editing has always been hit and miss. It may be that if you tried to edit one of the files you used to work on, things would work fine and it is simply the particular file at hand. I will not deny that there may be changes to the methods in AA9 that make things worse, but it never was great.

Editing text in acrobat xi pro

I had to reinstall acrobat xi pro but now I am unable to edit any text or images.
Can anyone advise me?
Many Thanks
sean

Hi iseanwm,
Please let us know what you mean by "unable to edit." Are you getting an error message? Does Acrobat freeze?
Please provide the following, so we can get to the bottom of this frustrating issue:
Are you on Mac OS or Windows?
Have you installed the latest Acrobat update (choose Help > Check for Updates).
Does this problem occur with just one file, or with any that you open in Acrobat?
What happens when you try to edit (error message, freeze)?
We look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Editing Text in Acrobat Pro 9.

I have been trying to edit text in Acrobat Pro 9 using the touchup tool. Nothing happens when I try to type text or replace existing text. I have read that the system font must match the text in the PDF in order to change the text. According to the properties the text is curier a standard Windows font. Any suggestion?

The PDF file maybe password protected. Click Secure and Remove Security.

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.

Hi there Doug,
It sounds like you've enabled the High-Contrast Color option under Edit > Preferences > Accessibility (Win) or Acrobat > Preferences > Accessibility (Mac). Uncheck the 'Replace Document Colors' checkbox, then hit 'OK' to turn this off.

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.

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now. I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf. At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software? If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
Any experience with this? Should I leave well enough alone? Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
Thanks
Steve

The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

Cannot export text using Acrobat 9 Pro

Hello all,
I have a .pdf file that I want to export as text using Acrobat 9 Pro.
File / Export menu appears to offer this, as does the help. But mousing over the arrow to the right of the Export / Text menu
brings up no options. I can export as .ps if I want to, but not text, or html.
Is this an installation option (I checked, and I didn't see any option for this)?
Or does the program refuse to export files with certain attributes?
Or is my installation likely to be broken in some way?
Best Regards,
Adrian Stephens

You can typically use the copy&paste or use Save As. I am not exactly sure what you mean by export other than one of these two options as suggested in the complete help (I am on AA8 here). It may be that there is no text to export. A lot of the older IEEE pubs are simply scans with no text. You would have to OCR the paper to get the text to export in such a case. If you posted a sample file, maybe we could be of more help.

Multiple object is not exported while clicking Edit Object in "Acrobat X Pro to Photoshop CS5"

Can you help someone to get multiple object using "Edit Objects" from "Acrobat X Pro" to "Photoshop CS5"? Refer below:
Selecting the multi object (Acrobat X Pro):
Click Edit Objects => Displays below option, click OK:
Opened only one object instead of above multiple selected - in Photoshop CS5
Thanks in advance,

Dear Mylenium,
Thanks for your respond on this. However the same scenario is working perfectly in "Acrobat 6" to "Photoshop CS". Could you please clarify?

Continuous Text Edits in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X Pro from version 9 and I'm running into an issue relating to commenting an editing a PDF. In version 9, you could simply select the "Text Edits" button and make continuous edits in a PDF (document created in InDesign) and then send those back. Now with version X, I can't seem to find a way to make continuous edits without having to select the tool over and over again for each individual edit. The "Replace (Ins)" icon works, but again, it takes twice as long. You have to now select the text and then select the "Replace (Ins)" icon and then type your change and then start all over again. Is there a way to enable text editing without having to go back and select the icon over and over again which reduces efficiency considerably?
Thanks so much for your help!

Or, if I knew how to change defaults for add text box, that would wok just as well. Thanks
for any help!

Editing Text in Acrobat Pro DC

I've followed all the instructions for editing text but when I go to select a text box the entire area is selected and the only choice is to move objects on the page (flip, left/right, etc). I'm unable to click on the blue box to select that specific text box I need to adjust. There is no option for me to select Tools to follow the other help instructions "If a bounding box doesn’t appear, choose Tools > Recognize Text > In This File."
I'm trying to work on a PDF that someone else created (who is on vacation, lucky) and of course the client needs it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I don't have Acrobat DC here right now, so I can't give you step-by-step instructions for text recognition.
But have a look at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/how-to/edit-scanned-pdf-files.html?set=acrobat--fundamenta ls--edit-pdf

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.
