Highlighting existing text

After converting a document to PDF, how do you highlight existing text in the document? Found the "highlight text" button under the "comment" section, just can't figure out how it works. Thank You.

Thank you again Pat. I have the feeling I am not running the same version. What I got from the first link looks completely different than what the second link pulled up. I mean , it was the same words but it was two different formats. The text in the first and second links said, “Adobe Reader XI Help and Tutorials”but the first was just the text on the screen not contained in any window., or box, whereas the second link said the same thing, but was in a window in the middle of the screen. There were option buttons or tabs present in the second at the top of the box or window, running horizontally along the top edge. The second had no tabs, or options, just a zoom. I am happy to send a document. Do you want me to convert it to Pdf first? These are just what they call Gedcom files for a genealogy project I am working on. They are just basic source citations for events such as birth, marriage , deaths, burials, stuff like that. They are specific to ancestors of mine, however some have ben deceased for300 years so I am quite sure they would not mind. lol There is nothing sensitive about them in the least. So how do I send and do I convert first? Do you want more than one? Perhaps from different types like jpeg, rtf, odt? I see a set of instructions below for imbedding an image which is sent to the forum. Want me to do that?
Remember, converting the files does enable me to interact wit the text, to change it, delete it. erase and replace text. It lets me perform basic word type functions, just not tools. There are other forms that I work with, however, where I can use some tools, basically the insert text function, in order to fill out forms. I don’t do anything real complex. I’ll await yourm response. Thanks,

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
http://www.adobe.com
Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

Highlight existing fields in pdf XI

Dear Sir / Madam,

Regards,
Raghupathi

Don't worry I lose myself sometimes....
In the first pic the radio buttons look like Squares because of the "Highlight Existing Fields" is active....but my reset/återställa and send/skicka are still their original artwork...
In the second pic the "Highlight Existing Fields" is turned off and the radio buttons look like I intended. I was wondering if the buttons were on a separate layer they would retain their artwork?
I don't know how the send and reset button differ in their function from the radio buttons...
Just not sure why the send and reset buttons retain their artwork and not the radio buttons....Must be missing something here....lol
I could live with the red highlighted text feilds as long as my artwork remains intact...

How can I type over existing text on a web page?

I would like to be able to type over existing text on a web page. This can be done by hitting the "insert" key in several applications; however, it does not work in Firefox.
I'm running Firefox 31.0 and Windows 7.

Unfortunately that is not possible in Firefox.
The insert key is not supported (i.e. Firefox is always in insert mode), so you will have to delete the old text and type the new text.

I keep getting this error message as soon as I open Facebook [Textarea Backup] Existing text detected in 'xhpc_message', overwrite with this backup?

I received an update and the error message went away, I went to load Facebook today and the error message [Textarea Backup] Existing text detected in 'xhpc_message', overwrite with this backup? is back and when you click on cancel or ok...Facebook freezes up

It is the Page Tweak Add-on... It is what has the Textarea Backup. I removed it and my facebook works fine now.

TS3899 I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What should I do to correct this issue?

I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What have I done to create, and what should I now do to correct, this issue?

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

How to change display type of an existing Text field to a Picklist

I need to modify an existing Text Field in the Expense report page to a Picklist and associate values to that picklist. Is this possible through Personalization ? If not, can someone let me know how this can be achieved.
Thanks

We created an item instead of creating a region and extending it. But here we have one more problem. The item we added is getting displayed at Button Layout section
Where did you create it, you should choose the appropriate region's create item icon to add it. If think you added it in a wrong place.
And one more issue that we are facing is - we are getting an error (No current row for View (<ViewInstance>)). when we clicking the save or next button in that page. Please let us know how to update the existing controller and save the value in that picklist item to the database.
There are two issues here,
- you are trying to replace the messageTextInput with the poplits, so you should get the viewAttribute and viewUsage name associated with the textinput and provide that as part of the messageChoice definition.
- the picklist VO which is the datasource for the poplist is not included in the existing seeded AM since you didnot follow the steps I mentioned earlier to create the stacklayout and add it instead of adding it directly. Probably you are on a version earlier than CU2, in which case you need to follow the additional steps mentioned below.
While adding the poplist donot specify the picklist view definitions,
1. extend the controller on the page and write your controller
2. Call super first
3. get a handle to the root AM and create the viewobject dynamically by using the createViewObject API on the AM.
4. get a handle to the poplist in the controller, you need to do this first before creating the poplist in the personalization(otherwise the page might error out if you created the poplist first without the picklist view definition properties) and set the display, value attributes as well as the picklist view defintions based on the viewobject you created in step 3.
5. Use personalization and add your poplist
6. replace the old controller class with the new one.
You are done.

How do I copy a list from one site to another that has a column that appends changes to existing text?

I want to move a list from one SharePoint site to another, within the same collection. I have created a template and included the content but the column that is selected to append changes to existing text, has not copied in all cases, although it has for
some items.
I have a limited knowledge so won't be able to implement any solutions that require the use of code.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy a list from one site to another that has a column that appends changes to existing text.
I recommend to use the custom workflow activity Copy List Item Extended Activityto
copy list items and files cross site.
You can do this with codeless SharePoint Designer workflows as long as you can install the
Codeplex Custom SharePoint Designer Workflow Activities.
These activities are also built-in to SPD2010.
To install the custom activities, please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form
Useful Sharepoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
Run the command: add spsolution c:\ dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the SharePoint designer, add action from Custom Actions.
Best Regards,

Take an existing text file and modify values

I’m looking to take an existing text file and modify certain values inside of it. Then save it to a new file, with all the same formatting as the original. The file format is not uniform and can change.
Basically the file is:
Random numbers and letters of unknown length for an unknown number of lines.
Label="Test_#"
Description
String
X=123
Y=456
Z=-789
20 lines of strings with numbers in them
Label="Test_#2"
Description
String
X=-1232
Y=4562
Z=7892
Then it repeats a set number of times.
I want to modify the X Y and Z = values for each Test_#.
I’ve managed to import the important values into a numeric array and I have a different array with values that will replace the existing ones. I’m having troubles replacing the existing ones. There are no zeros before or after the existing numbers so they are all different lengths.
If anyone has any sample code that does anything similar please post it. I’m sure someone has done something like this in the past.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just thought I would throw this out there. Can you make the .txt file tokenized? This would make searching for specific parameters much easier.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Cannot copy highlighted text unless I un-highlight the text

I have highlighted text in a document. When I go to copy that same text, it selects the entire sentence. I right-click, the menu starts with "Set Status." There is no "copy" option. Neither is control-C successful. When I next paste, it pastes a previously selected text, not the text I am attempting to copy in Acrobat. The only way I have found to copy the highlighted text is to un-highlight it, and then copy it. Are there any other solutions?
Thanks!

Thank you! This works. I pressed "shift," then highlighted the text I want to copy, and right-click (while still holding down "shift" key), and "Copy" finally appears in the menu.

SAVE_TEXT problem in adding new text identifier to an existing text object

I have an existing text object "ZEANR" which stores 9 long text data with identifiers 1 to 9. I want to add a new long text to that text object with id 10. when I use SAVE_TEXT function (with same parameters as others except the ID is set to "0010"), it throws an exception saying : "0010" text identifier is not defined for Text object "ZEANR". How can we append more long texts to an existing object ? I Have tried to change the insert parameter of the SAVE_TEXT function but it didn't work with both cases. I am getting the exception at perform chech_key --> perform check_id of the SAVE_TEXT function.
if someone knows the answer I will be preciated. thanks in advance.

The text ID specified in the parameter ID or text header (field TDID) should exist in table TTXID. It must be defined there with the text module object.
Go to transaction SE75, select "Text Objects and IDs", Change. Find your text object (ZEANR) in the list and double click. Choose create. Add a new text id (0010) and description. Save.
