Entering Text Adobe Reader

Help! I made a resume through Adobe Reader and I need to edit the text! No just add text but delete and the retype different text .

You don't need to reinstall Preview. You need to remove the leftover crud and cruft that Adobe Reader dropped on your system. Google for "remove Adobe Reader OS X"

Select and edit text Adobe Reader 8.1.2 & Mac OS10.5

How does one select and edit text in a PDF Adobe Read document with Mac OS 10.5? Step by step directions would be appreciated.

Wasn't sure since this isn't the Reader forum.
No. Can't do that then.

Selecting Text - Adobe Reader 9

Hi there,
On older versions of Adobe Reader, I used to be able to scan a letter received in a foreign language as a PDF, then select the text from it and paste it into a Language tool and convert it into English. However, in Adobe Reader 9, I can scan the letter as PDF but it will not allow me to select the text, it will only allow me to make a selection as an image or picture. Any ideas as to how I can get around this?
Many thanks for your help,
Jay.

Something other than Reader must have been involved in the process. You'll need to look in to whatever application is being used to create the PDF since Reader can't even do that.
If you want to post one of these problem PDF's that would help but it'll probably be the same answer.

Is Adobe Reader really this bad?

Hi,
I've been working on a PDF for a while now, but I have found Adobe Reader to be completely useless. In fact it has hindered my progress greatly. I have to ask if anyone else has found this or if for whatever reason I have just been cursed with these issues. I find many Adobe products useful, but this is too much.
The biggest problem is that while editing text Adobe Reader will often crash and everything I have edited to that point is lost. When this happens I get an error saying,
|The instruction at 0x3a32333a referenced memory at 0x3a32333a. The |
|memory could not be written.                                                             |

I have no idea what that means and I have not found anything mentioning it. I have tried re-installing Adobe Reader but nothing changed.
Other problems I have -
     The program constantly seems to be updated information even when I haven't edited anything; the cursor is always flashing between the pointer arrow and the windows blue loading circle, and the program is slow as molasses. when I enter text it takes up to 6 seconds for it to appear on screen. Not to mention the terribly unreliable and glitchy scrolling. I have to spend multiple minutes scrolling up and down hoping that it will stop on where I need to edit.
     Whenever I am attempting to edit a text field and I scroll up to find the information I need that is earlier on the PDF it sucks my view back down to the text field. I recognize this may be an intended feature but with my other problems it is extremely irritating.
I don't know if my version of Adobe Reader is corrupted or something. It's been doing this since I installed it, and I'm just trying to fill out my Eagle Scout workbook. I am extremely frustrated and tired of using this program, but it doesn't seem there is much of a choice when it comes to editing PDFs.
I can't imagine that this is the experience most other people have with this program because I know that Adobe is very proud of their software's quality.
I'm using an HP ProBook 4545s running Windows 8.1 Pro
System Specs -
     Processor: AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 2.70 GHz
     Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.45 GB usable)
     System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
I can't imagine it's a hardware problem because I can't imagine that Adobe Reader with it's homely GUI and seemingly simple construct is very demanding on a system, but it seems good practice to include all the information I can.
Thanks for any answers that can be provided, I really need this program to be able to work because I have to complete this workbook and time is running out.

Well if that is the case then it certainly answers my question. Although it raises another, I'm using Adobe Reader XI and I can most definitely open, view, and edit a PDF... well that may be saying a bit much since it does allow for entering text, exporting, and things such as that, but it doesn't do it real well..
If the answer really is I'm trying to use it for something it's not meant for I can accept that.
So I'd ask, what can I do in my situation then? I don't need a program for a very long. I only have about 24 days until I can't even work on this project anymore. Is there another program I can use that can edit a PDF that's free?

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

Adobe Reader XI, Comments, Comment Dialog, when multiple paragraphs entered causes comment to rapidly flicker when mouse hovers over comment icon. Unreadable. Can still right click and open the icon to edit text. Windoes 8.1. Repeatable on two identic

Adobe Reader XI downloaded to my wife's laptop tonight. Windows 8.1. Open PDF, select Comments > comment dialog, then place icon on PDF and start editing. Small edits work fine. Large amounts of comment text, once you move off the icon and come back and hover over the comment icon, causes the full size comment window to flicker rapidly (5-10ms between on and off) until you move the mouse away from the icon. Unreadable. Tried on my identical model laptop and happens there too. What's going on?

How do I increase the text size when I click the T button in Adobe Reader

On some documents in Adobe Reader when I wish to enter text using the T button, I am given the option of the font and size of text. However, on other documents, a very small text size is used with no option to change it. How can I change the text size or bring up the option window?

Press Ctrl+E to open the properties bar, where you could set the font size.

Adobe Reader preferences issue, text stretched and zoomed in.

I have a user with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 installed and cannot change his preferences and always receives a "Screen reader" prompt when opening a PDF. The window is stretched accross the screen and the only way to close it is Tab - Enter. The preferences are the same way, theres no way to check the settings because the window is too zoomed in and the text is too large. I have already tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, deleted all the folders and reg keys to do a clean install as well as under multiple profiles. Same issue each time. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Any advice would be great.

I believe I have seen this where an essential Windows font is removed.

I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form. However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer. Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

Adobe CS3 Choosing text tool, and attempting to enter text, jumps the Tool Chosen

So, I open a new document, choose the Text Tool, it hiighlights the tool in the left tool palette. The I place the Text Tool icon on the page and start to type. The highlighted box back in the tool panel wildly jumps from tool to tool. This is the ed version, part of the CS# Master Suite, I just it just a few times, it worked fine for a business card just six months ago. The other programs in the suite work find. I have followed the procedure to clear out any preference files. What gives???? I tried downloading updates, it won't let me do that. Has Adobe installed Hal onmy machine?

Before you can enter text you need a text frame. With the text tool, click and drag a frame the shize you want, then the toool will allow you to type inside the frame.

There's no rotate command to rotate the document. Instead, rotate the iPad. If it doesn't rotate, turn off the Rotation Lock switch on the side of your iPad.

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

Can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in iOS 7 Adobe Reader

I have enjoyed using Adobe Reader to proofread clients' documents, but since the last two iOS 7 updates I can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in PDFs generated by the same source that previously presented no problems.
The drawing and insert text functions do work.
I am using an up-to-date iOS 7 iPad 4. The latest Adobe Reader update and a hard reset, as advised elsewhere on the forum, didn't help.
I have read What's New and looked at the Help manual. I am aware of the new long tap to select one word followed by another tap.
What am I doing wrong? Adobe Reader used to work so easily. I won't be paid for the time lost while I try to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Krissy,
I found it extremely frustrating and I don't have a technically sensible answer for you.
Mine started working again suddenly, but slowly, after many hours of not working, and then improved in speed and responsiveness with use.
The conventional wisdom is to ensure you have the latest update of Adobe Reader first. There has been more than one since the iOS 7 change.
The first time it started working again for me was when I was trying in a pdf that I had previously edited in Adobe Reader before the problem began, where I know all the tools used to work (i.e. no problems caused by the file itself) but it is now also working in the new doc that wouldn't work the other day.
Shradha above gave me the clue that triggered it. I usually go straight to the "Pick a Tool" comment/annotate button in the main/first toolbar at the top, then use the toolbar at the bottom, where the highlight, underline and strikeout tools wouldn't work.
These functions started working when I tried selecting text directly from the first screen that has the toolbar for "View Modes" (an eye), save/export options, "Pick a Tool", share options and search, without selecting any of these options.
So, instead of choosing the Pick a Tool button at the top, try just holding down some text for a while, as if to select it (mine wouldn't even select for a long time) and see if the grey tool menu pops up right above that text.
Initially, I only got the options that were already working to pop up ("Note, Text, Freehand and Signature"). I tried a few different spots in the file and eventually the "Copy/Highlight/Strikeout/Underline/Define" menu popped up. The first time it apppeared was after holding down the text selection action for about 20 seconds, and it didn't appear every time, but then it became quicker and more reliable, and then these functions also started to work from the bottom toolbar that I usually use after choosing Pick a Tool.
Even today, checking that it still works, it was a bit stuttery to start with and then it came good.
Perhaps any of the technically-minded members could explain this or perhaps tell us if there is a difference in the action that is supposed to bring up the "Note" etc versus the "Highlight" etc pop-up menus. I'm stumped.
So try holding down text to select as soon as you open the file, and see if that grey menu will start to appear with the "Highlight" etc options after several attempts. I hope it starts working for you soon.

HP Laserjet P1005 print in Text Edit but nor in Word or Adobe Reader

I just bought a HP LaserJet P1005 printer, it does print in all the aplications that camed with the operating system Mac OS X 10.4.10 ( Text Edit, Ical, Iweb, Sherlock, etc) but It does not print in any other aplication ( Open Office, Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader, Freehand, etc).
I have already installed last version of the HP driver and also updated the OS to 10.4.11 but there is no difference.
Because the printer is on guarantee I did call to HP, but they said that if the printer print in aplications lake text edit, the printer is ok, so the would not replace it.
Anyway I do not know if other printer with the same model would work or if it would have the same problem.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.

I see that the original poster has returned the printer but figured I'd post in case others are having this issue.
Same problem here: Intel iMac, latest updates applied (Tiger), brand new printer, Office Mac 2004
Verifying disk, repairing permissions does not solve this problem. Trashing all the Microsoft preferences and reinstalling didn't work. I have a slew of these same iMacs running Office X and they print with no problems so I removed Office 2004 and went back to X and still had the same problem.
It's bizarre. I was able to print an Excel file but when I try to print a Word document the printer window jumps to "Jobs Stopped" a few seconds after receiving the job. Clicking "Start Jobs" results in it jumping back to "Jobs Stopped" I downloaded the driver package from HP thinking maybe it had been updated since the CD that came with the printer was pressed but no luck.
There is another post around here in which the poster said if s/he clicks Print Preview and then clicks the Print icon there the document will print. I'll try that tomorrow. The other post has some quotes from HP support that are not very helpful.
