Help w/typewriter tool PLEASE!!! :(

I have somehow totally screwed up how my pages look when I open Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
I was using the typewriter tool and saw that it gave me options to have different background colors w/different font colors. Well when I made the change to show black background w/green font I assumed it would have a little box of black with green font. But OH NO, it changed the whole page to black and now my typewriter tool types in green.
Well, I thought that this would not keep showing the whole document like that if I closed the document w/out saving the changes. BUT, that is not what happened AT ALL. Now every document I open shows the white paper as black and all of the font on the page is now green. Please see screenshot below:
http://screencast.com/t/YwkcWSYcb
I have been searching for several hours now thru everything on how to change the typewriter tool back to it's default setting and have not been able to find anywhere I can do that.
Now mind you when I noticed that I could change it to black bkgd w/green font I did have to go thru a whole set up wizard. But like I said I thougt that 1, it was reversable and 2 that it would only be for that document and 3 that if I didn't save changes to the document I could close the file & program and everything would be back to normal.
Can someone please assist me in getting this issue fixed so that ALL of my documents look normal when I open them. Meaning white paper with black font.
Please help!!!

HELP WITH 3D TOOL PLEASE!!

I have a movieclip symbol on the stage which I am applying 3D rotations to. When I move the object, the features shift in a 3d environment relative to the stage and its vanishing point.
I am trying to figure out how I can have multiple 3d objects on the stage, all with their own 3d environment and not shifting with the stage when I decide to move the symbol elsewhere.
I've tried nesting movie clips and toggling the global transform to local but still I get no different results.

Dude, slow down! Do not take anything back. I think you made a great choice by getting an LG 3D TV rather than a Samsung. First of all, those four pairs of free glasses? You're gonna love them. Trust me They're lightweight, flicker free and easy to replace. Considering what you said, I don't know if you're already aware about different kinds of 3D TV but just in case, I'll fill you in. There are passive and active 3D TVs. Your LG is a passive model and Samsung TVs are usually active.
Passive models are flicker free (LG's are certified flicker free) so that means no headaches or nausea, no matter how long you view.
Active models require battery 3D Glasses that are heavyweight and usually uncomfortable. You have to recharge them after every viewing because the flicker will get worse if you don't.
I'm not trying to bash Samsung here, alright? I do admit that they've got spectacular HD quality but sometimes, this does add to the flicker (each eye trying to receive such high quality images one at a time, not even together)
ESPN in 3D will look great, I think... I haven't tried it myself but Cinema 3D has a respectable 3D effect... Also, there's that 2D to 3D conversion feature so you can watch any other show in 3D..
i think you're in luck that, after only minimal research, you got a pretty decent 3D TV that will not disappoint!

Typewriter tool Acrobat 9

UPDATE 2:
Please see attached simpl scanned file.
When I first open it Typewriter tool works just fine.
If I extract a page from it, not deleting the page, then the typewriter tool only allows typing text and not modifying anything like spacing, etc.
Update:
Just ran a test:
1) I extracted the entire document to help enable the typewriter tool editi features. Tested the extracted file and everything works as expected.
2) I extracted one page out of this new document. The problem re-appeared.
So what it means is that when I extract a page the typewriter tool gets set to disable editing features.
Strange?
=================
Hello.
My office just upgraded us to Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 on our XP- Pro.
The Typewrighter tool works unpredictably. In some cases you can type text in but you are not allowed to change its size, spacing and so on. The features are dimmed out. I am working on a file with multiple sheets which are originally scanned into pdf. What I found out is when the problem comes up, if I extract all the sheets into another file the problem goes away and then comes back up after a while, requiring me to re-extract the entrie document.
I have checked file settings and the security setting is always set to none.
Some of the things I am doing to these files (engineering drawings) is I am cropping a portion of the drawing and then extracting that page, saving it into its own unique file. Then I am undoing the cropping and moving on to other things. In some cases I am placing annotations on the files. I don't beieve any of these activities should be causing unpredictable performance of the Typewriter tool.
I have searched KB and all over the internet and have not seen any doscussions on this.
I would appreciate any insight that anyone can bring to us.

Hi Anna.
I just updated to 9.2 and the problem still persists.
The test should not be on the extracted page/file. The test should be on the file the page was extracted from.
The bug is that the typewriter tool's features become disabled in a document once a page or pages have been extracted from it. The extraction seems to be causing the problem.
Can you try again to see if you can recreate the problem?
Thanks.

Typewriter Tool Erratic - not precise in placement of Text

Our department has a form that is partially completed from a database program, printed to PDF, and the remainder is filled out using the typewriter tool. After the form is filled, we use the flattenpages.js tool to embed the added text into the form. While I agree this isn't the most efficient way, it is what we have to work with.
Anyway, this works well on all computer except one...... On this computer, using the Typewriter tool produces erratic behavior and you can't position the cursor over the box to type an X. It will go above, below, side, etc. but not in the box. I can take the same generated form on my computer and it works fine.
My question: Is there a setting within Adobe or in the registry that would control how the tool responds? Any help would be appreciated.

Problem solved. Believe it or not it was Windows profile related. Logging in as a different user on the same computer - it works fine. Recreated the users profile and it is working as programmed. Who would have figured !!!!!!!!!

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?

How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac? Often I just want to label an item on a map that is in PDF and want to use a simple label rather than a Text Box for labeling, but have yet to find a way to increase the font size beyond 24. Can someone help me with this? - JML

Why does the Typewriter Tool stop working in an enabled Reader document?

I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader (9.4). I use it to complete Adobe Reader - enabled pdf forms. The typewriter tool is available but periodically stops allowing changes in the font and font size. These areas of the Typewriter Tool are greyed out. You can still add text with the typewriter tool but only with the font and size that was last selected. The only way to fix this this is to use the "Repair Adobe Reader installation" under the help menu but this almost always (>98%) requires a complete restart of the computer. This quirk is extremely annoying and no one seems to know what causes it or how to stop it. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a permanent solution for this problem?

Is the damage actual or only display (are the layers complete according to their previews in the Layers Panel)?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
What have you done for trouble-shooting so far? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved mis usually a good starting point):

Acrobat 9 typewriter tool

In Acrobat 9 Standard, the typewriter tool controls; text
size, line spacing, and text color are grayed out.
Although I can use the typewriter tool, the text size and
color cannot be changed.
Should these controls be available in the Standard
version?

Typewriter Tool in Reader 9 no longer allows text styling

In Acrobat 8, I use to be able to right-click with the typewriter tool and choose bold or italic in using "Type Styles." This feature is gone in Acrobat 9. Did Adobe remove it? If so why?
Rob

Hi Rob.
Take a look at this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415470
There are around 40 posts over a year, from others who are finding this problem very irritating. I expect there are other threads too.
It seems that many other people have the same problem, that the problem is inconsistent (some suggested workarounds work for some people, but not for others), that it has been present in more than one version of Acrobat, and that it remains basically unresolved.
My own experience is that although Acrobat 4 worked better for me than any subsequent version I have (6 and 9), Windows 7 and Acrobat 4 or 6 seem incompatible. I now have this same problem with Acrobat 9.
I would welcome any solution that works for all these users, over their several versions of Acrobat, if it is offered by Adobe. If there is such a solution, and if they are monitoring this thread (let's see if this is published in its entirety), perhaps they would post it to the thread, or update the offline/online help topic at:
Adobe/Help/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/help.html?content=WS76F8368A-2F01-421d-9437-06EEB1C68BA4.html
(This is the Help topic on using the Typewriter tool).
If Adobe cannot or will not solve problems like this, we had better vote with our spending power.
If there is no solution from Adobe itself, it seems that in this respect Acrobat is a faulty product.
How about it, Adobe, is this fair comment? Can you solve this problem?

IAC Typewriter Tool Acrobat 8

I am using the function ExecuteMenuItem("ShowHideToolbarTypewriter") and ExecuteMenuItem("Annots:Tool:FreeTextTypewriterMenuItem") to open the typewriter toolbar and use the typewriter tool. This works fine in Acrobat 7 but in Acrobat 8 this does not work. Can someone please point me in the right direction to get this fixed?

The documentation has a list of every menu item you can execute through IAC (with one exception - even though 'quit' is listed, you can't execute it - that is a bug in the documentation, not the application). If the menu item you want to execute is not in that list, it is security restricted. And it's not to prevent automation, it is for security reasons. They just used the firewall principle - instead of limiting each menu item one at a time, they shut everything out and then whitelisted ones that are not a security risk.

Hi guys,
For some reason there is no "Free" option for the Article Access in the folio as per documentation - please see below, only "Metered" and "Protected". What could be the problem?
TIA,

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

Help! My tools have stopped working

I'm on a 2010 MacBook and was merrily creating pages when suddenly the selection tools turned into the Hand Tool symbol, now nothing works. What in the world would cause this? I trashed the preferences but that didn't help. Can anyone please help?

I don't mean to offend you, but I like to check and make sure you really trashed the prefs properly. It's a bit more complex for ID than some other Adobe apps if you are doing it manually.

Cannot get Typewriter tool to work correctly

i have acrobat professional 8.2.6 When filling in forms I have always had to click on the Typwriter for each line of text to be completed. PDF documents that I receive via email and open with following text above form :" Please fill out the following form" (with instructions for distribution for form author) I am able to fill out in a breeze, type is adjusted automatically for width of form field, etc. For PDF's that I have with the following message above form "This PDFcan be completed using the Typewriter Tool" I have a terrible time completing. As stated above I have to click on the Typewriter tool each time I want to fill in a new line of text; the cursor will open at new lines too low or high on page so I have to create text box and drag (each time I want to fill a new line) and I am unable to change font style or size. I am sure there is something I am just not accessing but I am mystified what it is. I am on macbook pro running OS 10.6.7
Thank you

Good day,
When you recieve a form that has already had fields added to it, filling it out is, as you said, a breeze. The typewriter tool is a commenting tool and wasn't really designed to be used for filling out forms, though admittedly, a lot of our users do just that. Unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of customization options available to make the tool easier for you to use when filling out these forms.
It's simply not what the tool was designed for.
