Filled in text disappears under blue highlight

I can fill out a form, save it, but when I open the form again my text is covered by blue hightlights unless I click in that field. How can I see my filled in text permanently?

I did not even think about the rich test, I guess I was thinking to hard of a fix to look at this.
Thanks....

Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13. I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight. I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).

What does blue highlighted text mean?

We are working on a legacy file created in Design CS. We recenly converted to CS4 and the entire file is okay except for the body text. It has blue highlight on it, much like the pink that appears when fonts are missing. We cannot get rid of it. We rebuilt the praragraph style and applied it clearing overides, but it is still there. The only thing I found was possibly overprint? Can anyone help me? The preflight is green with all my normal selections.

The funny thing is, ID help says custom kerning/tracking highlighting is green, but it often appears blue, or greenish-blue. Then occasionally you can get both blue and green on the same screen. If anyone can tell me what's going on, I'd be grateful!

Why Does my text disappear when filling a text box?

I am trying to fill a text box a little larger than a sheet of paper (8.5x11). I have typed my statement and copied and pasted it end to end so that my text box will be filled with a repeating statement. When the text box gets about 1/5th full I get a little red plus sign in the lower right corner to indicate overflow. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The box is only 1/5th full and should not be rendering an over flow. Even if it was an over flow the text in the box should remain visible. Hyphenation is on. Dragging the corners to resize the box is not helpful.
I have drawn many text boxes and used various size fonts and leading, nothing seems to help.

Something is definitely corrupt here. Not only does the text extend beyond the displayed bounding box, but double-clicking on the Characters line in the Appearance panel shows "No Selection," even though the bounding box still shows, and the text vanishes. Attempts to edit the text on the artboard also cause it to vanish.
When I create a new type object in your document and follow your described procedure, the result is the normal, expected behavior. Have you tried to repeat this in a new document? After restarting Illustrator? After rebooting your computer? After deleting the preferences?

When using Typewriter tool, text disappears when I click out of box...

Hi!
I'm sure I've seen this question addressed here before but I cannot make the "Search" work. Every time I search I get "no results" even when I search for something as obvious as PDF.
So please forgive me posting a question that I'm pretty sure has been answered in the past...
When I use the Typewriter tool to type some text, and then I click out of the text box that the Typewriter tool created, the text that I typed disappears. If I double-click on the typewriter text box then the text reappears. Then if I click out, the text disappears. And so on...
How do I make that text stay "viewable" even when I click out of the typewriter text box?
Thank you so much!!
Diane

Hi Larry!!
Here is an image where the box with the Typewriter text (the word "test) is "activated", with the comments list showing down below but without the "test" comment in the comment list being highlighted. At the green "plus sign arrow" in the upper-right corner is the word "test".
Now below is an image where the box with the Typewriter text (the word "test") is not "activated" (but you can see the blue box where the word "test" should be showing), with the comments list showing down below, with the "test" comment highlighted, and the "Comments" dropdown menu so that you can see what's black in the dropdown menu.
When I clicked on the "test" comment in the comment list, the word "test" went away in the upper-right corner and the blue box showed up instead.
Am I showing what you need to see or should I show something different?
Thank again so much!!
Diane

Text disappearing in pdf file

I received a word file that was converted to pdf using "pdf maker". In the word file there is "shading" behind the text. In the pdf file if I select portions of the text and try to "highlight" it to make comments, some of the text disappears. (The text actually goes behind the "shading" so that you can't see it). If I use the "touch up object" tool in Acrobat professional, I can select the "shading" and delete and see the text underneath. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks

I have run into this problem myself. I have been able to use the object selection tool (In Acrobat 8 Pro) to select the box in front of the text and delete it without also deleting the text.

Acrobat 5.0.5 text disappears in Free Text Tool

Ok it's an oldie, but it's a goodie. I love my Acrobat 5.0.5, and never had any reason to upgrade. Well once. From 5.0 to 5.0.5. I have used my license on three different machine builds. 95, 2K and now XP Pro 64 bit and it still works great. (Yes, this program has outlived 2 older computers!) Well. Until yesterday. Suddenly when I create a free text box, and type in there, the text disappears. This happened once before a few years back, and I have forgotten what the fix was, but I do believe that was why I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.5. Now it is happening again.
Now for the real kick in the pants. I tried to reinstall my product, thinking to correct the problem, and all of a sudden Adobe doesn't like my several years old serial number. I get the error message that it isn't valid. And it IS a valid license, just a really OLD one. I only used it for the latest install of this, my same program, about a year ago, maybe a little more than a year.
I tried to just run the 5.0.5 update program again and it says the program isn't even installed to update. What the heck? OF COURSE IT IS.
I'm very frustrated and disappointed, as this is an old favorite of mine and I hate to think that Adobe has rused it so that it just won't work anymore to force me to purchase a newer version, when I didn't need a newer version.
If someone familiar with this old version of Acrobat could help me resolve this issue, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

The 64 bit OS can run most 32 bit applications just fine if you set it up right, and as I stated, this issue is not a compatibility issue, but a recurring issue within the application itself that also plagued me once upon a time when I ran it under Win 2k. Apparently an Adobe bug, and I suspect it is more related to the forced download of an updated version of the basic acrobat reader (due to Adobe inflicted browser issues) than it is with a Windows update. In my case, I set all of my old 32 bit applications up on a separate drive. I never default install programs on the main OS drive if it can be helped. Some of them I have to click the actual application *.exe or shortcut, because "open with" absolutely will not work, even if it is set as the default application for certain extensions. You will get an error message about it not being a valid Win32 application. From the program itself, however, once it is launched, it is never a problem to browse to and open the correct data file.
I even went so far as to install the Adobe basic reader when I was forced to do so, on a completely separate drive from my Acrobat 5 because I am well aware that previously caused problems as well, and never EVER let the application make its automatic updates from Adobe.... EITHER of them, actually. I suspect it was one of those snuck through and not a Windows update that caused it, although the possibility exists, I suspect Adobe does whatever it can to sell more software.

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

[SOLVED] Text disappearing in GTK applications

Here's a screenshot of what I'm describing: http://i.imgur.com/chJ1V.png
Text disappears from labels, lists, textboxes and tooltips. I've noticed I can copy and paste text from GTK textboxes into Qt applications but if I copy text from one GTK textbox to another it still won't appear. When typing in a textbox I'll be able to see it (most of the time) but then one keystroke will make the whole text disappear, pressing backspace does not make it reappear.
Also, some text reappears when reducing the size of a list horizontally: http://imgur.com/a/LvBJ1 -- Increasing the width causes more text to disappear.
I can't seem to find any solution through google and I don't think it's a font issue since I'm having no problems with Qt applications.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks

This issue is also occurring in terminal emulators that use vte or vte3. This includes Lilyterm, Sakura, etc (you can see the list under VTE-Based Terminals in the list of Common Applications on the Arch Wiki.
I wanted to point this out because I don't use any GTK applications, hopefully this should be helpful for lilyterm users who are searching for this issue.
Also, updating to [testing] didn't work for me. Downgrading to xorg-server 1.12.1-1 works for now

Text disappearing off page.

While working with Pages, whether with a text box or with a table I find that when I get to the bottom of a page the text disappears - it does not appear on the next page. Help!

Jerry
If all it is is a list, why bother with the table?
Come to that why bother with Pages 5.2?
What happened to all the fixes we were promised in 6 months? Times up.
How's Pages 5.2 rating in the USA App Store?
Reality is starting to bite for the rosy eyed. Here the numbers of 1 star raspberries are inexorably creeping up, and the 5's have fallen behind yet again.
Time for Apple to bring out Pages 5.3 to sweep it all under the carpet again.

Why, after selecting it as a link to an external website, does the word disappear under a black box

I would like to create a link to an external website. But when I select the words and then type the url containing http:// in the "Link" field, the words disappear under a black box. How do I correct this?

Hello Nancy O:
Without the link applied, the page looks fine in the browser. But I am trying to figure out what is going on in the CSS file that would cause this. When I move the mouse over the design view, I notice that outlines forming boxes appear. They overlap the text that I want to create a link with. I tried deleting a box that overlapped the text, but doing so didn't work. I tried increasing the z index, but that didn't work. I tried applying an id instead of a class, but that also didn't work. I'll keep working on the css file. Thank you.

How to disable the blue highlight boxes around links?

I've created a document in InDesign CS5, and when viewed on Adobe Reader 10.2 (on an iPad) all the table of contents links within the document, and all links to external websites have a blue highlight field around them. While I appreciate the fact that it makes it obvious where links are, it looks remarkably ugly to have huge blue highlights all over the document. There must be a way to turn these highlights off, right? Either from the source document within InDesign before the PDF is created, or from within Adobe Reader or Acrobat after the PDF is made? I have all the links within InDesign set to "Invisible Rectangle", and it looks great when viewed on older versions of Adobe Reader or in iBooks. Unfortunately, older versions of Adobe Reader don't support hyperlinks on tablets. So somebody using Reader 10.2, however, is now forced to view this document with ugly blue highlights. Is the only option to avoid the highlights to recommend everyone use iBooks to view the document, or is there a way in Reader 10.2 to disable these?

Thanks, but I already have all the hyperlinks set to "Invisible Rectangle", and there are still blue highlight fields around the links in Reader 10.2. If I view the PDF in other programs (iBooks, older versions of Reader) the links appear without the blue highlights. All the research I've done on this seems to point to the blue highlight fields being a "feature" of Reader 10.2, but I can't imagine that Adobe would create a feature with such a visual impact on documents without offering the option to turn that feature off? In a lot of print, online, and interactive docs both text and images are used as links (icons, buttons, etc) and having an automatic blue highlight around them really takes away from the visual impact that graphics provide. There must be an option somewhere to disable or turn these off, but I haven't been able to find it yet. Any other suggestions/ideas?

HT4623 What causes a blue highlight box to jump around the screen with an audible click?

Today my iphone 5 started having a blue highlight box appear on every screen, jumping from one icon or set of icons to another with an audible click. My iOS is up to date and I first noticed this after receiving a text message (text only, no attachments).

From what you are describing, it sounds like you have VoiceOver turned on and you would need to turn it off. Check out the article below to understand more about Accessibility and links to more about the feature.

How can I make a table cell extend beyond the page? The text disappears when the cell becomes larger than the page.

As a student, you might be able to get Office for Mac from the college bookstore at a substantial discount. Otherwise, I think your best option for documents that need to be shared with Office users is to get one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice.

How to fill Long Text in Accounting document in the item level.

Hi,
I need to fill Long Text field in item level of accounting document from the header texts from Billing header(say billing instructions)
I checked the user exit EXIT_SAPLV60B_008 but it didnt worked in my case. I have read the billing instructions in the Billing header using FM READ_TEXT but I am not able to save this text using FM SAVE_TEXT because for the field Long Text the parameter TDNAME is a concatenation of BUKRS(COmpany code) BELNR(Accounting doc. no.) GHAJR(fiscal year) BUZEI(line item) .
But I am not able to capture this accounting doc. number in the mentioned user exit instead I am getting Sales Invoice number and hence not able to give TDNAME parameter for FM save_text.

Hi Amit,
In application area FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING , go for node LINE ITEM. Here create a step & maintain the prerequisite as per your requirement & in the check you can mention the code or you can direct it to a custom program like ZFI_RGGBR000.
Here while maintaining the check you will get structures BKPF & BSEG in which you will get the desired field you are looking for.
Just try to explore in your system how the other validations are maintained.
After you are done with all your code, you have to run the regeneration program RGUGBR00.
Here utmost care should be taken while running regeneration program, you should select all the checkboxes in the selection screen except GENERATE SETS, GEN SUBSTN ROUTNS IN ALL CLNTS & TRACE PROG. GENERATE CALLS .
Hope this make your doubt clear.
Regards
Abhii
