How to edit text box in Acrobat XI, created by prior versions of Acrobat

Hi, I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to edit a text box that was created in an older verison of Acrobat and used to fill out a form.
In my case, I've added text boxes over pre-existing text using an older version of Acrobat.
When I try to click on the text box, however, it seems to pick up on the pre-existing text and not allow me to edit the text box that I created in the past.

Try to edit the text with the 'Add Text Comment' tool which resides in Comment pane. The text used to fill the form may have been written as annotation, hence when you are trying to edit those with editing tools, original text is being edited.

  • How to edit text in a form edited in LCD / Acrobat 9?

    So I have a few minor edits to a form that was created in LCD 9 and Acrobat Pro 9.  Apparently this seemingly simple task is now impossible with the latest versions.  When I try to edit it in Acrobat XI I get the message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat" but I have no way to edit the text in LCD.
    Are users of forms from release 9 really stranded?

    I may still have a version of AA9 available to play with. If so, I will try to check things out and see if there are alternatives. Of course, you could recreate the form in Acrobat XI (that is where printing to a new PDF or extracting the info would be useful). You could also try Forms Central that is part of XI. It may be that Forms Central can deal with a LCD form, never tried it (but I tend to doubt it). If you did not use any of the fancy features of LCD forms, you might be better off just transferring it to AcroForms in XI.
    OK, I opened an AcroForms file in Designer for AA9 and saved. I then opened the file in AA9 and was surprised that I would edit the text of the form. When I went to edit the form fields it took me to Designer as would be expected. I played around in Designer a bit and could not find a way to edit the text, but the text could be edited in AA9. I think this is what you had described.
    I then opened the LCD form in AA XI and found the same result that you did. I was not able to edit either the text or the forms. However, I was able to export the form with most fields to DOCX. The result was pretty good for the form I was working with (suggesting it had reasonable tagging -- but that may also have been done by Designer, I am not sure). There were a few form fields that did not seem to come out, but most did on the 4 page form. I then used PDF Maker to create a new PDF and the result gave most of the form fields, similar to the docx file. It may be that this conversion process might be the most useful, unless you possibly have a form with dynamic fields that is unique in Designer.
    Hope that at least clarifies a few things for all of us and gives you some ideas. You might find additional input from the folks in the forms sub-forum.

  • Create editable text boxes in pdf

    How do I create editable text boxes in a pdf that I uploaded to Acrobat?  I can only fill and sign at this point (but have a subscription to Adobe). 

    You need Acrobat, either Standard or Pro, either as a full license or a
    subscription.

  • EDIT TEXT BOX IS GRAY. CANT EDIT DOC. THAT I'VE CREATED

    THE EDIT TEXT BOX I GRAY. I CAN'T CHANGE THE TEXT ON THE DOC THAT I'VE CREATED.

    I will assume that your are talking about PDF files. Does your document contain real text, and not just images of text? Are you using Acrobat, or another program with PDF editiong capabilities? The free Reader has no editing capabilities.

  • How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader

    How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader

    You don't.
    Adobe Reader is a reader application. You can't use it to do editing.
    If you have Adobe Acrobat on Mac or Windows, you can add pages.

  • Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad? It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad. It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • In my application I am using input type = "time" but in Firefox 30.0 its showing plain text box. Can anyone tell me which version of Firefox supports it.

    In my application I am using <input type = "time"> but in Firefox 30.0 its showing plain text box. Can anyone tell me which version of Firefox supports this feature?
    <input type = "time"> is added in HTML5.

  • Combine several pdf that were created by different version of acrobat

    Tried to combine several pdf that were created by different version of acrobat (i.e. 9, 10 & x). Keep getting missing letter on random pages. anyway to avoid that issue?

    If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
    But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

  • How to edit text in the yellow text box of a URL-link?

    Hey guys!
    I´m currently working on a website in Iweb.
    My current challenge is the following:
    - I´ve made a marked text a hyperlink. But when I rollover it, a yellow text box appears and shows the entire URL.
    Now, I want it to show a custom edit text.
    example:
    the link is: www.domainpage.com/home/subfolder/page1234/sweet.html.
    the yellow text box SHOULD SAY (example):
    "Sweet" tattoo
    How do I rename the text in the yellow box?

    This is a screenshot of what text boxes affect the page title.
    If you can't change the necessary text box to reflect the title you want you can add the title via an HTML snippet and the following code:
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
    </script>
    Apply the code via snippet to each page you want to change the name to.

  • Editing Text Boxes, Acrobat X Pro

    2 Questions.
    1.  I would like to change the fill/background colour of a text box but can't find where to do it?  Can someone point me in the right direction.  Right now, my text boxes are all white.  I would like them to be a different colour with white text.  I can select white for my text, but can't seem to change the background.
    2.  I would like to merge all my text boxes so that if opened by Acrobat, people don't see hundred of text boxes when they click on an area that has text boxes.  But they should be able to see the text.
    Thanks.
    Stan.

    Figures I figure out how to get MORE back after I post, but still no properties.  This is what I get now.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Apple Preview: While moving/editing text boxes created by others in a PDF, font color of that text changes for some reason and I don't want it to!!

    I have a project where I've given about 10 people 50 PDF files each to mark up in red text, and send back to me.  When they send them back, I in turn need to move or edit some of the text boxes they have created in Apple Preview.  For about 8 of these 10 people, when I edit their text boxes and/or move them, Apple Preview immediately changes the text color of the red text to black, or to white.  How do I get it to stop doing this?  Is this a setting I need to have them change on their end?  Or can I fix this on my end (preferable)?
    Here is a link to such a file:
    http://www.4shared.com/dir/rlemQEcJ/_online.html
    When you try to move or edit the text "Sollazzo", it changes to black or white.  I need it to say red.  Thank you for your help!

    It doesn't go anywhere in that: that isn't a feed, it's a web page. A feed is a text file in XML format.
    Would you like to post the URL of your iTunes Store page?
    This page about podcasting includes a basic sample feed so you can see what one should look like, and at the bottom of the page is the method for redirecting iTunes to a new feed.

  • How to center Text Box on Web Page? -- Web dev with Word 2013

    I'm trying to assist a user who wants to use Word 2013 for simple web page development.
    There are many tools but they want to use Word 2013.
    Actually have it working by saving the Word 2013 files as web pages... like index.htm, about.htm, etc.
    The problem is when we use the "Insert" tab in Word to create a "Text Box" or a "Shape" ...
    And align it centered on the page... it looks fine in Word but when we open it with a web browser the "Text Box" or "shape" are no longeer centered.
    We thought we had it fixed by making the "Text Box" Layout Options "In Line with Text" but again... looks fine in Word but not in a web browser.
    The question: How can we get a "Text Box" in Word 2013 to appear centered on a web page?
    thanks for any help.

    Hi:
    For webpage design, I would suggest customized form under develop tab on the Ribbon over insert object directly. I tested from my side, using customized form will lock the object position on the
    page.
