Hello,
        Thanks for your response.
        I have implemented the function for AVToolRec as follows.
        AVToolRec AVRect;
        AVRect.size = sizeof(AVToolRec);
        AVRect.GetType = ASCallbackCreateProto(GetTypeProcType, &ToolGetType);
        AVRect.DoClick = ASCallbackCreateProto(DoClickProcType, &DoClick);
        AVRect.AdjustCursor = ASCallbackCreateProto(AdjustCursorProcType, &AdjustCursor);
        AVAppRegisterTool(&AVRect);
        ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 AdjustCursor(AVTool tool, AVPageView pageView, Int16 x, Int16 y)
               AVSysSetCursor((AVCursor) LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_CROSS));           //Works fine for cross
   I want to develop the cursor as acrobat provides.. "Selection tool for text and images"
   I tried to change the cursor to IDC_BEAM, But it's not useful. Is it possible to create the cursor as acrobat provides and get coordinates for the text selection.
Please help me to solve this.
Regards,
Shilp

KdeGraphics-Okular - How to change the color of Text Selection tool

Hello All
I'm trying to know how to change/fix the color of the Text Selection Tool (Ctrl + 4). Because when I highlight the text, it's only one color (Dark Blue) that make me could not read clear.
---- My OS Configuration
OS : Arch
DE: LXDE
WM: OpenBox

The highlight color is determined by the system-wide color scheme that you're using. There's no way to change it only for okular.

Skipping to the top of the document when text selection tool selected

This may be difficult to explain. But often after I click in the toolbar to switch over to a specific Adobe document (in windows 7) that I previously opened and that is open to a page other than page 1 and with the text select tool has been selected, if I click into the text on the page (say page 4) and then scroll down with the mouse wheel to get to page five, the program will jump back to the beginning of page 1. (display is set at single page - fit page). I like Acrobat very much, but I find this to be extremely irritating and wasteful when trying to select text from and navigate a large document. Can you please tell me why this occurs?

I READ the user guide, which told me view>format bar>show format bar. I am talking about the bar that shows how to set the format-- font, spacing, etc. That has gone gray, and eliminated all the settings so I can't alter the settings or print.
Mari,
We're here to try to help you; we get some satisfaction out of helping folks to get along with their Apple Pages software. If you just take this one step at a time, I'm sure we can sort it out.
Thanks for clearing up what your primary issue is. You had Fruhulda all confused with your complaint about printing. I sort of glossed over the printing issue because you seemed to be more focused on the formatting.
Please re-read my first post - the part about the Format Bar being contextual - and let's go from there.

Text select tool not working properly

When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.

Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

How can I disable Select Tool & enable Hand Tool using Adobe JavaScript ?

How can I disable Select Tool & enable Hand Tool using Adobe JavaScript ?
I want wherever the PDF opened automatically preferrence changed, default HAND TOOL remain selected. I want to do it using Adobe JavaScript.

You are correct in that it's not functioning, however I do not have that option under the "online and adobe online" section in Adobe Customization Wizard XI. I have the following boxes that can be checked:
"Disable initiating shared reviews and data collection via distributed forms using Adobe online services (does not affect non Adobe online services reviews and forms).
"Disable the Tools pane in Reader"
"Disable file storage on Adobe online services"
"Enable file storage even when all other services are disabled"

How to recover the selection tool?

Acrobat XI. The selection tool (arrow only - not the one that's an arrow with a text-insert cursor next to it) disappeared from the ribbon on my Acrobat. How do I get it back?

How do I go to Tools? I don't see that anywhere. And everything I've tried with the word "Tools" in it doesn't bring up anything that says "Interactive Objects".
Here's what my interface looks like:

Use the select tool which is the arrow as I show in this movie. You can copy and paste into another document.
Now if you want to edit text that another subject altogether.

Text selection tool is completely missing

Hallo,
I newly bought Adobe Acrobat XI. It's running on Windows 7. Unfortunately the text and graphic selection tool (the small arrow) is missing in the toolbar. It's not possible to select it to the toolbar - it doesn't appear anywhere. We installed Adobe on another PC (Win 7 as well) and the symbol appeared next to the free-hand tool.
Since the selection tool is quite important for me I'd be glad if somebody coul help me.

Are you talking about the Select Object tool, which is a small black left pointing arrow, or the Edit Text & Images tool, which looks like a pencil drawing on a piece of paper, or something else?

How to activate the select tool and enter drawing mode in pages

In pages 5.0 if you want a pure drawing document you have to turn off i.e. unclick Header, Footer, Document Body in the document setup and the arrow tool will replace the text curser tool. When you unclick document body you will get "are you sure" and say yes.
first choose a new blank document
click setup in the upper right corner
and uncheck the document body
and when the dialog box pops up choose remove
to avoid any header and footer issues also uncheck the header and footer
Now you basically have the Apple works old draw environment.

That is not necessary at all.
Just click away from all text and objects then select the Drawing tool from the Shapes icon.
It is actually one the distinct improvements in Pages 5 over Pages '09. Not perfect but a big step forwards.

How to implement line selectability for a table control using table Wizard?

Hello SDN Community,
I have created a table control using the Table Wizard. I found my exact question in this forum, but unfortunately it had not been andsered. While I cannot paste a screen-print into this plane-text area, here are the steps I followed...
1) SE51
2) Create new screen 0100
3) Click Layout button
4) Clidk Table Control (with Wizard) and draw box on canvas.
5) Step is "Start" - click Continue
6) Step is "Name of Table Control" - provided name
7) Step is "Table Name" - provided name of dictionary table (AUFK)
8) Step is "Definition of Columns" - selected order numver and order text
9) Step is "Table Control Attributes" - Line Selectability is in display mode - cannot set it.
I would like to have a selectability column for my table. Would appreciate any insight into how to do this.
Thank you,
Dean Atteberry.

This is a puzzling...
For the table control wizard, in the Table Control Attributes step, I was able to get line selectability to open up by declaring a char01 data element at the beginning of my type.
The puzzling is in regards to the "Selection col. fld" entry field.
If I leave it blank and try to go to the next step, I get message "Enter the name of the selection column if you are using a program table"
So it looked like it wanted to know the name of my selection column. So I type in "CHAR1". and got the message "The field "CHAR1" for the selection column is already contained in the table."
Hmmmmm.... don't understand............

How to stop the Selection Tool from selecting effects around objects?

This question is for Illustrator CS5.
I can't seem to figure out how to fix this problem. I vaguely recall finding a solution in CS4, but cannot recall how it was achieved:
Scenario: If I have a number of shapes on top of each other, with, for example, a drop shadow on the top shape, whenever I try and select the shape below it (it is peeking out from beneath the top shape, so I click on this 'peeking' section of the shape to try and select it) I cannot - it just selects the top shape as the top shape's drop shadow is 'blocking' the shape below it. Make sense?
How do I go about about remedying this? I seem to recall being able to tell Illustrator to ignore 'effects' when making selections in CS4, but cannot work out how to do this in CS5. And is there a way to refine the 'sensitivity' or selection radius when clicking to make selections?
Hopefully someone with the knowledge can please advise?
Many thanks.

Never heard of ignore effscts for this.
Couple way to solve this
CMD Click on the already selected top element, to select the element underneath.
You may have used the visiblilty eyeball in the appearance pallette to temporarily hide the drop shadow
You can use CMD 3 to hide selected top elements, make the change you need, then Opt CMD 3 to unhide
For #1 to work, don't click too fast, or else your clicks will register as a double click rather than a 2nd clikc (depending on what you have set in you Keyboard preferences).
I mention #3 cause this is a very useful tool for cleaning up and grouping complex documents, when you want to select multiple elements.

Using text select tool in Preview--pasting into Word

Hi, since the recent updates made Acrobat Pro 7 unusable (installer crashes, Acrobat crashes upon displaying title bars . . . I've posted on this elsewhere), I have been using Preview. I noticed that when I select and copy a piece of text in Preview and then paste this selection into a Word document the selection is unreadable. Is there any way to make the image readable?

Liz,
I have the same problem. Acrobat Reader 7 works well in my computer... I do not know if you can copy/paste into Word. However, I am going to reintall the System X and not do the recent updates (QT7, wireless keyboard and Security from last Friday)

How to implement 'Quick Select' column in a query result table?

Hi,
I have a requirement in OAF to design a search page with 'Quick select' column.
One of the column in the query result table should be a quick select.
Once user clicks on the quick select column, we have to navigate back to the previous page with the row value selected.
Can anyone help me in this.
Thanks.

Also refer the search exercise in the toolbox tutorials.
you can implement the quick search in the same way as update and delete buttons.
