How can i edit text on a pdf document on acrobat i professional

can anyone please help me, I've got acrobat 8 professional and i'm trying to edit text, can i do it and how can I do it?

You wrote: I have tried creating the background image as a pdf . . .
The whole thing is already a PDF.
What application are you using to try and make changes?
Are you now using InDesign to recreate the gift voucher?
Or are you opening the Photoshop PDF and trying to resize the live text layers?
There shouldn't be any issue with making 120 pt text. I just created a 250 pt text layer in PS as a test.
Have you enlarged the text box? If the text box isn't that big. making the text larger make cause it to overset and no longer be visible.
Grab the corner of the text box and drag it to enlarge it.
If things aren't working correctly, it would be faster to recreate the gift voucher in InDesign.
You mentioned having the background image, just add the text are you are ready to print.
After rereading your last post it is unclear who will be adding the text for the money amount.
Are you adding this yourself before printing, or are you hoping to give a PDF to the client where he can add/change the money amount?
Things like this need to be mentioned upfront.

  • How can I copy text from a PDF document in bb pbk?

    I've tried to copy a text from a PDF document but adobe reader doesn't give me that option. How can I do it? or there is a better reader for PDF that allows to copy, make bookmarks, to highlights?

    If the PDF is not an IMAGE, you can using a free program called PDF-XChange Viewer from Tracker Software. If the PDF was done as an image then you will not be able to select the text.

  • Can not edit text in a PDF with Adobe acrobat professional version 8

      I have a PDF doccument that I can not edit any of the text on. all it lets me do is slide the pages around like images but dose not allow me to delete or add any text. It is not password protected at all.
    Any ideas on why this is and how to fix it so I can edit this 40 page pdf?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR
    In the Recognize Text dialog, click the "Edit" button.
    In the Recognize Text - Settings dialog the middle entry has a drop-down menu.
    From this menu you can select one of three PDF Output Styles.
    --| Searchable Image
    --| Searchable Image (Exact)
    --| Formatted Text & Graphics
    These output styles are discussed in Acrobat Help.

  • How can I edit text tabs in Photoshop...?

    how can I edit text tabs in Photoshop like in Illustrator that I can choose to view the tab rulers and edit the alignment on the tabs?
    is it possible? otherwise I can't understand why I can use the tabs at all...
    thanks!

    No, tab-formatted text is not editable in the manner you desire. As for your question - tab is just a character like any other. You are simply taking a given kind of implementation for granted, nothing more, but that must not necessarily be the case for all programs. An evil programmer just could assign the tab key to forward delete or any other fancy function just as he could make your space key draw funky symbols from a different Unicode range, if you get my meaning... so simply take it the way it is. If editable formatting is high on your wishlist:

  • How can I edit text in pdf?

    newbie here to editing text in a pdf. I make a document in InDesign and exported it into a pdf. I tried to change the text in the pdf, using the touch up tool but it won't let me change it. What am I doing wrong?

    That depends on what type of edits you want to do.
    You can use the touchup text tool to make some changes to text (this assumes that the person on the other end has the exact same fonts installed). The touchup object tool can be used to remove images...Have them look under the "tools" menu to see what is available. Different ones are there depending on their version of Acrobat.
    Why are you having them make edits (just asking to see if there is a better way of doing this because really, you don't want to go down this road)?
    Do they really need to make edits or are they just marking up changes they want done in the document so you can do them? If that's the case, have them use the comment tools.
    There are way too many things to go wrong when you start editing PDF's. They really should be considered simply a digital piece of paper and nothing more.

    Hi iggybuskus2,
    If you want to edit text in a PDF, you'll need to use Acrobat. You can download a free trial of Acrobat from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html, if you'd like to give it a try.

  • How can I edit texts in ipad letter by letter.

    I frequently write in Spanish and English, i have to change the keyboard from one language to the other but when i forget i get unexpected results. I decided to disable the automatic spelling correction. But there is still a problem. I sometimes miss a single letter to correct in a word but ipad forces me to rewrite the whole word again, or to use the delete key to delete all the letters until i get to the one I need to correct. How can I edit letters from inside a word without the need to rewrite the whole word. Does ipad support this?
    Thanks for your comments.

    Yes.  You can tap near the letter you want to edit to place the cursor near by.
    For more accurate selection if you hold down where you want to edit a small magnifiying glass should appear. You can use that to move the insertion pointer to wherever you want to edit.
    Page 24 of the User Guide describes this feature.

  • How can I transfer a docx. or pdf. document of microsoft word to the ipad?

    Hello
    How can I transfer my docx. and pdf. files using the newest edition of microsoft office word from my Laptop to the program "pages 09"?
    It seems that pages can only import doc. files? To convert my files makes no sense because the whole layout will be messed up.
    Hope someone can help me with this, or maybe apple is currently working on that behalf

    Are you sure your posting this in the appropriate forum? you mention "Pages 09", but this is the iPad pages forum. (I know the link above does not say "IPad", but it is).
    If this is on iPad:
    Word doesn't open pdf files, only outputs them. Use Goodreader on the ipad to read any pdfs, or other pdf reader that is free.
    I just tried opening a docx file on my iPad and it opened fine in Pages. Just had to replace a font that wasn't on the iPad that I apparenlty had used on the document.
    If not on iPad:
    Desktop Pages opens docx files fine, it did it before MS published the Mac version that saved as docx.
    PDF's should open in Preview.

  • How can I edit text in a tagged PDF?

    I have created an accessible test form in Acrobat Pro X.  Now that it has all been tagged and reading order touched up, the client wants to change the text.  Is there any way to edit text at this point or do I have to create an entirely new tagged accessible form (very time consuming)?
    I have tried:
    TouchUp Reading order - when I select the block of text, nothing lights up on the TouchUp window
    Form > Edit Document Text - I can place a cursor but it won't do anything.
    Thank you for any help!

    For Tagged PDF the replace page approach ought to be avoided.
    The behavior seen when replace page is used for an existing page having annotations is not present.
    Insert of a tagged PDF into another PDF can be a problem as well. The "incoming" structure tree is always placed at the end of the existing structure tree.
    Manually remediating this can become nasty very quickly.
    Using the Touchup / Edit text tool on a 'good' tagged PDF ought to be avoided as well.

  • How can I edit text in a copy of a document on my home PC?

    A document created in Acrobat XI Std is on the server in the office.  I had the document emailed to me which I downloaded to my home PC.
    I cannot edit existing text or images in the downloaded document.
    I can do the following to the downloaded document:
       Add new text boxes and images
       Delete existing text boxes and images
       Move existing text boxes and images within the document
       Copy existing text boxes and images from the downloaded document and paste them into another document
       Edit new text boxes and images that I've added to the document.
    Both the office server and my home PC are running Windows and Acrobat XI Standard.
    I've checked security and protection.  These do not apear to be a problem but I'm not absolutely certain.
    Why am I unable to edit existing text and images in the downloaded document?
    How can i remedy this problem?
    PS.  The reverse is true also.  The office cannot edit text and images that I've added to the document.

    Hi Bill@VT,
    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.  I caught the flu.
    I just went to work for this company.  The company has been creating and maintaining these documents with Acrobat for may years.
    I live 75 miles from the office.  The company has agreed that I can work from home.
    The first attempt at this was emailing PDF documents back and forth.
    I may need access to the company network via a VPN.
    I have a lot experience doing these types of documents with MS Word and MS PowerPoint.  Then creating a PDF document from the docx and pptx.. 
    The company wants to continue creating and maintaining the documents in Acrobat because everyone in the office knows how to do it.
    So at this time I'll try to use  Acrobat.
    Thank you for all your help.
    Frank

  • I can't edit text on a pdf file in adobe acrobat

    I need to edit the text on the pdf file but I can't and this message keeps showing up: " This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
    There are no security on this file. The only thing that is not allowed is to create templates. When I check the document properties description, on the PDF producer it says adobe distiller 7.0.5 (windows)
    I downloaded the adobe livecycle designer but I couldn't edit the text there either... When I open the file it says the text is not downloaded so it replaced it with another text, I clicked ok but then the text didn't change, This message showed up:
    I really need to edit the text on this pdf file because it's important. Can anyone help? Greatly appreciate it. By the way, this is a pdf fillable form that you can fill out on acrobat and that is the only thing it seems like it will let me do this file. I don't want to fill it out, I want to edit whats on it. It's one of those forms that you get from NJ courts.

    Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.
    So, you are on the right track: if it can be edited, you need LiveCycle Designer. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it in this forum, so please try posting here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es
    If the form is publicly available, it may help if you include the URL (web address) when you post.

  • How can I edit text labels in a numeric display?

    I have this numeric display, type U16, that displays specific messages, for example 'PASS' when the input is 1. I need to add another message.
    I added a placeholder, for input = 3 (verified by the digital display) for the new message by rightclicking/'Add After' but I'm not able to add the new message. I can't edit the text (can't select it) for the existing messages either so I know I'm on the wrong track.
    The G programming reference for LV 5.1 (page 9-17) says to use the labeling tool so I tried the 'Edit Text' tool on the tools palette. Is there another labeling tool? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jeff Bledsoe

    Jeff,
    It sounds to me as if your U16 ring control is, or is linked to, a typdef (Type Definition), which LabVIEW programmers can employ to impose sharp constraints on the way a control looks or behaves. This would explain why you can't edit the text items, or add one. The bit about adding an item for '3' is confusing, but maybe it has to do with the ring being set to allow undefined values.
    I can't recall how to manage these things under LabVIEW 5.1, but in 7.x, I would right-click on the control and see if "Open Type Def" was one of my options; if so, this diagnosis is correct, and you can make your changes only be editing the actual type def. The changes would then automatically be applied to any other control or indicator that is linked to the same type def, which is a very powerful programming technique.
    Your best move might be to read up on Type Definitions in your LabVIEW User Manual, or in Application Note 159, and then proceed.
    Hope this helps,
    John

  • How can i copy text from a pdf while in firefox?

    i no longer seem to be able to highlight and copy text from a pdf, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view pdfs.
    how do i turn on the select tool, so i can do this?

    When viewing a PDF with a browser you are using a browse add-on (Adobe's, Firefox's, or some other provider).
    An add-on is not the desktop application; add-ons do not provide the full functionality of the desktop application (Reader or Acrobat).
    To have full use of all Comment and Drawing Markup tools save the PDF to the local machine's HDD.
    Launch Adobe Reader XI (pre-XI releases do not have the full set of these tools).
    Open the PDF. Annotate as desired.
