Form - Can not use the Text Edit Tool in Adobe 9

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could please assist me, I have created a form but the text editing tool is coming grayed out, how am I able to get this function back?
I simply need to remove one word and am unable to do so.  It tells me that some functionality is restricted for extended features and to save a copy.  but when i save a copy I am still unable to use the touch up tool.
My Thanks in advance for your assistance.

My guess is that you did use LiveCycle Designer and are not aware of that. Designer is accessed from Acrobat in the forms menu and may have come up even if you were not aware of it. If that is indeed the case, you can only edit the text in Designer.
If it is an AcroForm, then it may be that you have activated Reader Rights or such. To remove Reader Rights, there is a specific procedure to use and unfortunately I do not remember it. If you have Reader Rights activated, indicate that and someone should be by that remembers how to remove the feature so you can edit the document. The removal is not as simple as one would think, but is rather straight forward. It involves saving or such -- I just don't remember and it is not something I am finding in the help menu.

  • Can't find the content editing tool in Adobe Reader XI

    The website lists XI as being able to edit content. I have checked all of the help topics and they say that it should be under tools. But all that is listed is: Export PDF, Create PDF, Send Files, and Store Files. Do I have to download the content editing tool? How/where do I do that?

    you are mixing up Adobe Reader (free) and Adobe Acrobat ($$)

    Does the cursor move as you type?
    Reset the tool by right clicking here to see if that is the remedy.

  • What happened to the "Text Edits Tool" in Acrobat X?

    I know the answer is "it went away" but, seriously, please bring it back. In Acrobat 9, when you activated the "Text Edits Tool," it would automatically switch between insert, delete, and replace text in a context-sensitive way. You just had an active tool cursor - if you highlighted text and started typing, it would "replace" the text. If you clicked in one spot and started typing, it would "insert" text. If you highlighted text and clicked the Delete key, it would "delete" text. All this with one tool, that stayed active the entire time you were using it.
    Now, in Acrobat X, you have 3 different tools. You have to click to select the tool - mark the change. Click to select the next tool and mark that change. And on and on. And while you can right-click on any single tool and select "Keep tool selected" - there's no way to make that the default behavior. And that doesn't help when switching back and forth between activities.
    I know that the Selection Tool can now almost serve as the old "Text Edits Tool" - this works quickly with delete, but requires the tilde shortcut for insert or replace. Basically one extra step for each edit than there was with the Text Edits Tool.
    One might think that that little extra click isn't a big deal - but when you are marking up a PDF all day, every day, it adds up.

    I assume you're talking about commenting and markup rather than editing the text of the document itself.
    The keyboard shortcuts are  designed to do exactly what you want. With the multi-select tool active (I beam + black arrow on the toolbar):
    Select some text and press the Insert key - a new Replace text annotation is created and the note panel opened for typing. Press Esc to close the note
    Click to place the cursor within some text and press the Insert key - a new Insert text annotation is created and the note panel opened.
    Select some text and press the Delete key - a strikeout annotation is created (no note this time but you can add one by double-clicking)
    The idea of selecting something and 'just typing' to activate a markup event could not be retained as it interfered with the single-key accelerator mode.

  • Why do I get a full screen window of the "Text Edits" tool...?

    I got Acrobat 8 and when I mark some text with the Text Edits tool and afterwards types som replacements, I just get one big pop-up box filling the whole screen instead of the normal sized in the left margin as usual. And I am not able to see what I'am typing since this kinda lies outside the screen picture. Is this a matter of settings - or a bug, or anyone else tried the same?
    Memebers of my work group use the same version with the same updates without problems.

    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select   View ▹ Show Log List   from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • Lightroom 5.2 freezes when using the spot edit tool with Wacom Intuos 5

    Hi,
       I've been using Photoshop 6.x with my Intuos 5 for almost a year and it's been great.  I recently purchased Lightroom 5.2 only to discover that when I use the spot edit tool that it freezes when i use this tool as a brush.  It starts off smooth, but after brushing across my area i want to clone/heal, Lightroom seems to freeze up, and the spot edit tool is unusable.  I can lift my pen off the tablet and a few seconds later Lightroom comes back, but the tablet is basically unusable to me.  The mouse works perfectly fine.
      I've read other posts at the end of last year '12, that walks through some regedits and disabling some other tablet functions, but none of those work for me.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks Ed

    I solved my own issue.  I saw an article @ http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?19694-Spot-removal-tool-doesn-t-work-with-Wa com-Intuos-5-in-LR-5 that solved my issue.
    Step 1:
    Walcom Tablet Properties
    Step 2:
    Click on Customize and change the default line graph from this:
    Step 3:
    To this
    Step 4:
    Click OK.
    After that, my spot edit tool stopped freezing in LR 5.2 while i was using my intuos 5 pen.
    Prior to doing this, I also did the procedure listed here:  http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8036
    So it's possible that both need to be done in order for the freezing to stop.  I hope this can help others.

  • Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined

    Freshly installed Elements 10.  Can not use the option-mouse click to define an area for the clone stamp.  The error I get is:
    Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point).
    New Mac Mini.  Had the same problems in Elements 9 so I installed the 10 trial.  Is this a key binding error?  Did not have this issue with Elements 9 on my Mac Air or my Windows 7 system. 
    I'm not a newbie and know how to use the clone tool.  I won't say I'm an expert so if it's something related to layers please throw out some ideas.

    This problem came back up.  I hadn't used PSE since last November and was frustrated to run into it again.  I don't think it's a layers issue afterall.
    I use a wireless keyboard and mouse on Mini and mouse on Air, although keyboard for Air is upstairs at a desk with monitor for occasional use.  Regardless blue tooth is on for these devices.  Problem exists.  Turn bluetooth off on Air and the problem is gone.  It must be related to option key when bluetooth is on, I guess some different mapping.  Even when I have bluetooth on and try to use Option key on the Air keyboard it does not work.
    So now where do I look for configs to check?

    Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point). this is what shows up in the command box when ever I click to start to pick the spot i want to use as the clone. makes my cloning tool useless. can any one help? I have reset the tools restrted my computer. i am at a loss...

    Are you working with more than one layer?  If you are working with multiple layers it makes a difference when selecting source spot and then trying to clone to a different layer.  I find that I have to be sure I am selecting the corresponding layers for source and then for application when working within multiple layers.
    At least for me this is the case when getting that type of message.  I am very new to this program though, so maybe someone else has a more concise answer for you.
    Good luck and write again if this doesn't help.

  • Satellite P200D-134 - can not use the Toshiba DVD player

    I have the Satellite P200D-134 and can not use the Toshiba DVD player.
    It displays an error message.
    "Required modules missing for this application"
    In Vista it worked everything fine.
    Now I upgraded Windows 7 Ultimate and all Toshiba programs are gone.
    And I can not use the Software HD DVD player or other Software from Toshiba.
    What should I do?
    Does anyone have any advice? Is there any help?
    Please write back in German or English.
    Thank you!
    Rob

    Hi
    Did you install the VAP (value added package)?
    If not do that!!!
    Furthermore I recommend installing the DVD Player Update Check Tool which can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
    With this tool, you can check your notebook, if your DVD-Player needs a Upgrade and if yes, it gives you the download link for the needed upgrade version.
    By the way: If you cannot find the DVD Player for Win 7 in P200D section then you can download this from the P500 section!

  • HT203175 I have no problem signing on to iTunes my issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a runtime error R6025 pure virtual function call. Has anyone had this problem and how do I fix it. Thanks

    I do not have a problem getting in the iTunes stores. My issue is once on the site I can not use the "search". It says there is a pure virtual function call R6025. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to create a new account? Do I have to uninstall and re-install? Thanks

    Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate any input here.
    If someone from Adobe could GUARANTEE that this problem would go away if I
    purchased CS4, I would pony up the cash and do it. However, I'm skeptical
    about that because I just saw someone else post a message on the forum today
    who is running CS4 and getting the exact same runtime error as me.
    I'll try un-installing and re-installing as Admin, and if that doesn't work,
    maybe I can find a used copy of CS3.
    In the meantime, I'm also wondering if a Photoshop file can carry any sort
    of corrupt metadata inside it once it has errored out? Reason I ask is, I
    had to port all of my old PSD files to the new computer, and I only seem to
    be getting this error when I attempt to work on one of the files that
    previously got the runtime error when they were sitting on my XP machine.
    When I create new files from scratch on this new computer, they seem to be
    working just fine (at least, for now).
    If so, I would probably be smart to never open those troublesome
    "errored-out" files again.
