hello - am using acrobat X pro - i am not able to edit text

So, what exactly do you do? What do you try, what exactly do you click, select etc. There are many things you might try, and we can't see over your shoulder so I'm afraid it has to be detailed this way.

  • If I use Acrobat XI Pro, will I be able to save the document in Word?

    If I use Acrobat XI Pro, will I be able to save the document in Word?

    The answer is maybe. A lot depends on how the PDF was created and what is there. If it was created using PDF Maker in WORD, you can probably recover it almost perfectly. If it was a scan that has been OCR'd, it may depend on the fonts that are used with the OCR. So the answer is generally yes, but the quality of the result can be anywhere from great to pitiful.

  • I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on my Mac and Cannot edit text?

    Hi,
    I am trying to edit the content of a document that I scanned into a PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9. How do I delete and retype the text?? Please help.

    You would first have to perform OCR on on the scanned pages. Personally, I think if you really want to edit scanned pages, you are better off using a dedicated OCR program rather than Acrobat.

  • Reducing size of a PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hello, I want to reduce the file size of a large number of pdfs which will be available for download on a website I'm building. These pdfs were created a few years ago and in most cases the fonts were converted to outlines. I want to reduce the size of the pdfs using Acrobat 9 Pro. I tried one and the size went from 2.3 Mb down to 156 Kb when I saved as an Acrobat 7. Will these be able to be viewed by anyone using Acrobat Reader. The end users will only be viewing and reading the pdfs. Thanks in advance for any responses.

    If you are familar with the PDF Optimizer and how to go to it, open PDF Optimizer.
    First images for a website should never be more than 150dpi.
    Go to images and set, for DPI  150  for color images Grayscale and Monochrome.
    Next open fonts in optimizer and look for duplicate fonts.
    example:
    Ariel
    Ariel Bold
    Ariel Bold
    Ariel Italic
    Courier New Bold
    remove the duplicate Ariel Bold.
    Many times there are 5-10 instances or more of the same Font/Font style.
    Remove all duplicates.
    Save as a new file you never want to save over your original in case what you end up with doesn't turn out.

  • 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,

    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.

  • How can I edit large amount of data using Acrobat X Pro

    Hello all,
    I need to edit a catalog that contains large amount of data - mainly the product price. Currently I can only export the document into excel file and then paste the new price onto the catalog using Acrobat X Pro one by one, which is extremely time-consuming. I am sure there's a better way to make this faster while keeping the accuracy of the data. Thanks a lot in advance if any one's able to help! 

    Hi Chauhan,
    Yes I am able to edit text/image via tool box, but the thing is the catalog contains more than 20,000 price data and all I can do is deleteing the orginal price info from catalog and replace it with the revised data from excel. Repeating this process over 20,000 times would be a waste of time and manpower... Not sure if I make my situation clear enough? Pls just ask away, I really hope to sort it out, Thanks!

    Hello, I have Acrobat XI Pro for which I pay by monthly subscription. Each month, for the past three months or so, at renewal time, I receive a note stating that my trial period has expired and I cannot open my Acrobat Files. I have telephoned three or four times each time this happens and have been told that the matter has been resolved - it has not! At one time I had paid inadvertently for three account for Acrobat XI Pro running at the same time - I only need 1. I'm afraid that I may have just opened a second account by mistake in order to open my files. I repeat, I only require one account. Would you please advise and assure me that this matter has finally been resolved and that I will no longer receive these notifications each month..

    I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.
    Check the Adobe ID you use in Acrobat.
    Check this Adobe ID on Adobe's to make sure that it has an active subscription.

  • How do I create a check-box matrix question using Acrobat XI Pro?

    I would like to insert a question that is a 10 x 10 matrix that allows respondents to select multiple boxes in each row.  For example, the "add item > rating scale" feature formats a matrix the way I would like, although it only seems to allow for radio buttons.  With this feature, respondents can only select one item per row.  Is there any way to use this feature with check-boxes rather than radio buttons?  Or a different feature to create a matrix that allows for multiple selections per row? 
    Thanks so much,
    Andy 

    I created a 30 page Form in Microsoft Word with 20 to 30 check boxes on each page using the Zapf Dingbats Font.
    When I used Acrobat XI Pro to automatically convert the form it fails to create usable check boxes.
    It worked properly about 3 times on test pages but it will not do it again.
    Manually inserting check boxes one by one on 30 pages is mind numbing to say the least.
    Why doesn't the software work properly anymore?

  • How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

    How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

    PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro and tried to install the current update. I got this error message: "Error 1328.Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\pT64b3.tmp It has probably been updated by other means1 and can no longer be modified by this patch. For more information contact your patch vendor." tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still get the error. Searched for C:\Config.Msi\pT64b3.tmp and cannot find the path or the file

    For AA XI, you only need the 11.0.09 patch. Download from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows (Use "MAC" if a MAC is used).

    If you have Acrobat Pro Extended that is a PC Product. You've clicked on wrong Forum. Go back to main page the click on Acrobat and choose PC forum. Extend has such features as XML based PDF Forms which Acrobat Pro Mac can't handle.

  • Can I auto-populate fields in a pdf form based on responses in other fields (using Acrobat XI PRO)?

    I am creating a fillable pdf form using Acrobat XI Pro and would like to be able to auto-populate text fields in one section of the form based on responses entered by respondents in an earlier section.  Is this possible?  If so, would it function for respondents using Adobe Reader to complete the form?
    Many thanks,
    Andy

    Thanks, George!  In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with.  For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10.  I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization.  I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written.  Does that make sense?  Will this require JavaScript?  My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form.  Thanks again,
    Andy

  • Can I edit anything in a pdf using Acrobat XI Pro?

    Can I edit anything in a pdf using Acrobat XI Pro?

    And the degree of effective editing may be an issue. Editing is not a recommended task in Acrobat, but instead edit in the original doc and recreate the PDF.
