How to type visible text in an Acrobat document?

Hi there.I totally don't know how to use Acrobat and I'd like to know how to fill up an Acrobat document.
Whenever I try to type text in the blank fields, nothing shows and I can't see if there is text or what I'm writing.
It would be nice to know how to make the text appear in black.
I've tried the different tools but can't change anything.
Thanks for any help.

I had the same issue recently. At work, most use is through a terminal server. Not sure if Adobe was updated, or changec, because I never paid attention to the version before. Currently it is Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0. I'm not sure if there are any other numbers to that designation as I cannot find a simple "About Adobe" under help.
In either event, there's no more typewriter under tools. However, it looks like I found an alternative.
Tools > Advanced Editing > TouchUp Text Tool
However, I am noticing it is not as versitile as Typwriter was. For example, I am trying to add numbers in a "Field" on a form, but when I click the document with the tool where I want it, it won't allow me to type where I want. I have to put the text "next" to the field title, and not under the title where you would naturally complete the field. If that makes sense.

  • 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.

  • How do I add text to a secured document?

    In my business I use a lot of e-signatures. When I get an e-signed document (they are secure), I need to add my clients responses to the document, then get my clients e-signatures and then send it back to the other party. How can add my comments to a secured document? I keep getting a pop window saying the document is secure and cannot be edited.
    Thanks for any help,

    You can't - signatures prevent changes for a reason.

  • 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 to write a text file in Acrobat Javascript?

    I am using acrobat XI I have tried output a text file like this
    var cMyC = "abc"; var doc = this.createDataObject({cName: "test.txt", cValue: cMyC}); this.exportDataObject({cName: "test.txt", nLaunch:0});
    This is working , but I would like to provided a fixed path and no dialog is popup to request the user choose a saving path
    Are there any way to fix the problem? thanks

    Actually, what I am doing is :
    There is action wizard which apply some javascript effect and modify the file one by one in a specific folder,
    And currently I am using PHP to execute command line to run task scheduler,  the scheduler runs a batch program that run the action wizard (named sequence?) so the PDF file is modifed one by one
    Since the batch runs only one time for a folder instead of run each time for a file, I would like to detect whether a file is success or not , so I think of create a text file as detect signal to determine whether the operation is success.
    So , simply, are there any way to check whether a file is success in a batch sequence operation? thanks

  • How to type vertical text

    In numbers, I've merged cells vertically in hopes of typing a word vertically but I can't figure out how to do it.  It's probably an easy process but I can't figure it out. Thanks for the help.

    Hi Tyson,
    Here are some examples.
    A1 contains vertical text. It can be created by making the column narrow enough to accept only a single character width, selecting the cell, and checking the Wrap checkbox in the Format bar. An alternate method that;s more trouble, but also more reliable is to insert a return character after each letter (including one on the empty line between words). Press option-return to insert a return into a cell. (Hint: Enter the first letter, then enter an option-return for each letter and space you want in the cell. Then go back and enter the letters, pressing the down arrow after each to go to the next line.)
    Numbers does not support rotated text in table cells. Cells B1, C1 and D1 are empty. The rotated text is placed in three text boxes, one for each cell. These are rotated (90° for B1, 75° for each of the others), then placed in front of the appropriate cell.
    E1 contains wrapped text. The wrapping in this case is determined by the width of the cell and the text itself, but you can also control what appears on each line by using returns (option-return) within the text. The vertical alignment button on the Format bar was also used here to vertically center the text in the cell.
    Regarding "I've merged cells vertically...," I'd recommend against merging cells where you can avoid it. Merging cells vertically or horizontally has consequences with sorting the table (and I think, other issues as well). Best to leave it undone until the issues are sorted out.

  • How to print certain text on user selected documents?

    Hi,
    This question is related to SD. I need to know whether is it posibble for us to create something like checkboxes for users to choose which document they want the text to be printed onto.
    Example #1:
    As per customer requests on LC, this text "Bank of ABC" must be printed on ALL documents.
    Example #2:
    As per customer requests on LC, this text "Bank of ABC" must be printed on Billing Invoice, Form D & Form E only.
    So here's the problem with Shipping Documents. The output are totally random, depending on customers request (on the same type of form). Can anyone please advice how to handle this case?
    Thanks in Advance!!

  • Do you know how to change the Text Object for Billing Document?

    Hi,
    If you execute Transaction VOTX or VOTXn it will take you to Text Determination. The Billing Doc & Sales Document both has the VBBK as Text Object for me and is it like that for all.
    I need to change the Text Object to VBRK for Billing Doc, which is the ideal because I am using the Function Module READ_TEXT to retrieve text. This work perfectly for Sales Document which has VBBK as Text Object, but does not work for Billing Doc where it through as error message saying “Text 0020000021 ID 0002 language EN not found”.
    Thank You
    Kishan

    Hi kishan,
    For updating these text you can use FM 'SAVE_TEXT'.
    As for your problem, to get the parameter you need, go to the billing document, go to the text, and display it in plain page mode.
    Then you do 'GO TO' -> 'HEADER', and a pop-up window open with the parameters you need Obect type, ID, Name, ...

  • How do I select text in a PDF document?

    I have a text-based PDF document, but I can only select text by restarting the reader. Once I select "Take a Snapshot" I can't select text anymore. How do I switch back to select text? I tried right-clicking on the document but I don't see any "selection" tool. I am using 11.0.3 under Win 7.

    Just tested this (Reader 11.0.3 on Windows XP), and your scenario is exactly so.
    I have been able to go back to get the Select Tool by clicking on the Highlight tool in the Toolbar, then right-clicking on the document.
    But it's definitely a bug in my view.

  • How do i highlight text in a pdf document

    how do i highlight test in PDF document?

    Thank you so much, Bill, for your reply.  My problem was/is that I could
    not get the highlight tool to work.  I tried countless times before posting
    my query on the website.  You assumed correctly; I was/am working with text.
    I was using Adobe reader to highlight text in an Adobe doc I had created
    and need to forward to a third party.  I wanted to highlight that text in
    the document that is salient to the actions I am asking of the third party.
    Perhaps the highlight tool cannot be used in a previously created Adobe
    document.  In any event, I do appreciate your reply.

  • How do you make clearer resolution in Acrobat documents?

    I scanned documents into pdf files inorder to be able to read them from the computer. But parts of the document were not clear and hard to read. I figured out how to get higher resolution by converting it to a word document. But when it converted there were a lot of typos and the format changed.  So I was wondering if there is any way to make the resolution higher, or just the document clearer overall, without converting it?
    Any suggestion would be helpful.

    You need to rescan at a higher resolution. My suggestion is to scan in your scanner's software. Scan to TIFF the import the file or files into Acrobat. The resolution needed depends upon the application. For most situations 300 dpi is more than enough.
