Entire document momentarily flickers white when editing/adding text

Using Adobe Illustrator I exported an Adobe PDF. Back in Adobe Acrobat Pro -> content Editing -> I select some existing text and as soon as I type a single character, the entire document momentarily flickers white. Afterwards, the character I entered is visible. This happens each and every time I try to type. If I try to type a full sense, the screen is basically strobing until I stop typing.
This also happens in Acrobat Acrobat Professional.
I have Acrobat Pro 11.0.06
thanks!

You really should update the source document in Illustrator and generate a new PDF. If you need to retain any links, fields, etc. that you added in Acrobat, you can replace the old pages with the new in Acrobat (Tools > Pages > Replace).

Track changes when editing pdf text?

Is it possible to track chnages when editing the text of a pdf?
If so, how?
And if not, is it possible to make all edits I do on a document in another colour to differentiate the original text from my editing text? (Without pressing a colour swatch every time of course...?)
Many thanks,
Wendy

OK, thanks. Now, can I change the colour of the text on all the changes I make then? In the Edit Document Text tool, if I right click, then I get the choice of font and colour. I have changed the colour to red so my edits will stand out and yet when I make a change the text colout does not change.
Can you help?
Thanks,
W

How can I enable the ability to create links when editing site text in BC?

I am about to launch my first BC site for a client. I built the site using Muse. The client needs to update text and pics on their own using BC, which is fine, but when editing text, they are unable to create a link to another page. How can I enable the ability to create links when editing site text in BC? I can apparently do this in this post, but I don't see a way to do this for their site.

Grid control should be used if you have multiple dbs to manage.
But if you still want to install dbconsole, you can use dbca as already mentioned. it's much easier to do that using dbca.
With the manual method, you create the repository via emca -repos create.
Then you configure it using emca -config dbcontrol db. This will ask for sys passwords, ports setting etc...

Crash when editing URL text stored in dictionary

I sent a series of crash reports through ID to Adobe on this, I thought I would share it here as well:
Whenever I type into a text frame in an InDesign CS3 document a URL that has been stored in the spelling dictionary, such as "www.yahoo.com", and then try to select or edit that text, InDesign instantly crashes. I have tried it with new and existing documents, and several different fonts, including Type 1 and OpenType fonts. If I type a URL that is not in the dictionary, the crash does not occur.
When I remove the matching entries from the dictionary, I can type and edit those URLs without crashing. When I re-add them to the dictionary, the crashes resume.
The workaround is pretty simple, but I thought I would ask if anyone else has seen this.

On first attempt, I was unable to repeat this bug after installing the 5.0.4 update, so it appears to have been fixed.

Premiere Elements 7 crashes when clicking/adding text.

First post after being an Adobe user for several years so I can't complain. :-) I purchased Premiere Elements 7 a couple months ago and it has worked very well.
I am now having a problem when attempting to add text. I tried adding text to a new project and get the message, "Adobe Premiere Elements has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I then opened a finished project and clicked the text on the screen and got the same message. So it occurs when trying to add new text or editing existing text. I have tried everything outlined in a post on what to try when you are experiencing problems.

Sam,
When something works one day, but not the next, I look for what has changed. More often, than not, it's some program updating. Windows is famous for this, but then you can't update Windows, so that might rule it out.
First thing I'd look into would be Restore Points. I always run a Restore in Safe Mode, and when there is a problem, will go quite a ways back, then work up to the present.
If none of this works, then the virus/Trojan problem might loom more likely. Many of these can reside in Restore Points. When removing one, turning the auto Restore function OFF is usually advised. If you can locate such a nasty, then Google it. Chances are good that Norton, or others, will have a step-by-step way to remove it. It also seems that about 60% of all sites try to upload something nowadays, and much of it is not good. If you suspect any sort of infection, run your virus/Trojan sweeps from Safe Mode too. It will be slower, but more likely to uncover some problem. AdAware Search & Destroy offers a free version, and I usually keep it around, though I have many others. It seems to discovery things, that most other programs miss, with few false-positives. Even though I keep Norton, SpySweeper and StopZilla up, except when I am actually editing, and there is no Internet interaction, I'll do a Norton sweep in Safe Mode about once a week, just to be sure. Unfortunately, evil lurks right outside our door and some of it is tough to stop, find and disarm. The most benign sites often have little payloads, that can cause problems, if left "untreated."
Good luck,
Hunt

Content of linked files in a inDesign-document refuses to update when edited.

The problem:
I have a question about linked files in an inDesign-document.
We have a indesign-file (indd) wich contains text, linked map-illustrations and ads.
One of the linked maps gets changed by an external map-producer via an VPN-tunnel. He works directly on one of the existing linked files (a map), and does not change the name or location of it after editing.
After the change, we open the indd-file again, but no dialog-window appears telling us that a link needs to be updated. So we do it manually, but the changed content doesn't get updated in inDesign.
If we target the linked file and choose to open it in illustrator for editing, all of the changes that was ment to be there, still is. It just doesn't show up in indesign. This also shows that the linking isn't the problem.
The file is only placed at one spot in the document.
Workaround:
1. If WE (not the external map-producer) open the linked file and save it again (same name, same location), inDesign instantly promts us to update the link and the graphics updates without problem.
2. If we place the file in a another location of the same inDesign-file, the correct content shows. (But still, the existing one does not update.)
Question:
Is there any way you can think of that could make this happen?
If so, How can we solve it without having to use the workarounds?

This will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files.

Pages is not updating documents in the cloud when edited on Mac

I edited a pages document – which was created on my iPhone – on my Mac, but it did not update. It seemed to be stuck on 6.8MB out of 12.6MB. So I deleted it, and reloaded it from my desktop, and now it is stuck on "Waiting" with a little cloud symbol beside it.
The document has appeared on my iPhone again, but it won't download (because it hasn't been uploaded), and it can't be viewed.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Never mind. Although it too well over an hour, it did eventually upload.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

SOFFICEINTEGRATION231 when editing standard text in Recruitment

I'm trying to edit standard correspondence text within the Recruitment module, but instead of getting the friendly Word like editor, I get the standard sapscript editor and the following error message:
SOFFICEINTEGRATION231
"Unable to find template".
I guess it must be some compatibility problem since this happens when working with Office 2010.
Is there any patch to correct this?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

Hi, try this:
Go to transaction I18N, in the tree menu look for "I18N System Configuration" and then double click on "MS Word as Editor".
In the next screen be sure that none of the checkboxes are ticked and then click on "Activate"... answer yes, yes and that's it.

Gradient to white, scaling and adding text help?

Hello, I'm trying to make a composite image for for a class, my idea was to take a side shot of a guy's head, cut it out, shillotte it and fade the back of his head to white. In the dad center of the picture I want to place a much smaller portrait picture cut to an oval.
As for the text I need to place the guy's name across the top and then fill in the area between the 2 oppisite facing shillottes and the central picture with the text about the guy.
I've managed to figure out how to cut the pics tthe way I want them and reverse the one, but how do I size them correctly? The one in the middle is 220x315, it's the only pic of the guy I could find... the 2 shillottes however are from a pic that was 3600x2400.
Here are some screenshots of where I'm at and what I've started with.

You might investigate using java script for your furniture presentation. There are a lot of possibilities out there. Some that I've come across are:
Jalbum a free application that has over 100 different skins/themes. This demo page shows some of them: Jalbum Examples. Most are customizable so that you can hide the control bar, set the background color, auto start, etc.

Unable to print added text only in Acrobat Pro XI

User is trying to print added text that's been added to an existing PDF page. In Acrobat X she chose "Form fields only" under Comments & Forms from the Print menu. In XI it produces a blank page. The added text only shows up if she chooses Document or Document and Markups, but then she gets the entire document. She only wants the added text to print.

Thanks to all who commented here. I found that adding text using Tools>Content Editing>Add Text will not allow the user to print solely the added text. As everyone responded here, that's as designed. However, using Comment>Annotations>Add Text does allow the user to print solely the added text as she was used to doing in Acrobat X. I thought it was the same tool under two different headings, but obviously they interact differently in the print menu. Choosing Form fields only from the Print Menu's Comments & Forms panel will produce solely the text added under the Comment panel's Add Text tool without printing the rest of the document page. And the user doesn't have to turn the document into a form to do so.

Selecting just text fields throughout the entire document when editing forms in Acrobat Pro XI

I edit PDF's all day and it is seriously time consuming to edit the properties of text fields when you can only select a few at a time due to other elements (checkboxes, radio buttons etc.) prohibiting you from simply "Selecting All" elements and editing them all at once. I do not want to change the Appearance properties of all elements, just all of one type throughout the document. Is there a way to do this?
Long story short I would like to just edit all text fields at once, then all checkboxes at once etc.
Thanks for you time!
Sean

In the form edit mode, one can order the display of the fields by "name" or "tab order".
If I sort the fields by name order and then use the control key and left mouse button, I can select various field names and the right mouse click brings up the context menu and I can then select the "Properties" option and I now have the 5 tabs for the common properties for the selected fields. I believe using the control key and the left mouse button is the usual method for selecting specific items in a window listing.

Exporting PDF document to Excel. When I export a PDF document to Excel containing lists of people the Excel page shows all the names on one line several inches deep instead of on separate lines which makes editing impossible. What am I doing wrong?

Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

Pink document when adding text

When I open the document I get a message: "This file was created to be viewed on a television screen, but will appear compressed on your computer monitor. For optimal editing, it is recommended that you use a video monitor to preview and edit this image." I then click OK and open the document, but when I attempt to add text the entire page turns pink. I can add text but it is distorted - stretched in a horizontal direction.
I have read posts regarding this problem but none of the solutions have worked for me. Thanks for any help.

HELP! I saved a document. Copied the document. Went to delete some extra characters. Accidentally deleted the entire document. Now I can't find my document. When I open the saved document, the page is blank. Does Pages save copied text anywhere?

I saved a document. Copied the document. Went to delete some extra characters and accidentally deleted the text of the entire document. I did not save a blank page. I cannot recover the lost text. Please Help. I'm NEW to Pages.

Hi Jan,
Copied text (or other copied material) is on the Clipboard, but only until you copy something else or log out of your account. If you act before doing another copy, you can paste the copied material back into the document. If you don't act right away, you may still have a path back.
One of the most useful keystroke combinations on the Mac is the "Oops! key," as a friend of mine once named it. That's command-Z, also known as "Undo". In some applications it will let you undo only a single step, but in others, including Pages, you can do repeated undos, so it's not quite so essential that you act immediately on making an error. Undo, done via the Oops! key, or via the Edit menu takes you back one change at a time. You can't skip any steps, so to get back to the state before the accidental deletion, you'll have to undo any work you've done since then. The memory of what to Undo disappears when you close the document or quit the application.
At that point you're at the mercy of your backup plan. If you've had Time Machine running, you'll be able to enter Time Machine and go back to an earlier, saved version of the file.
All these are in addition to the steps Ian suggested above.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Best piece of advice I can give a new Pages user (beyond Backup early and often) is to download and read through the first few chapters of the Pages '09 User Guide, available through the Help menu in Pages '09. Mostly pretty easy reading, and will get you through the basics without much trouble.
