In Acrobat XI, how can I select and move multiple text/image blocks simultaneously on the same page?

I work with student-generated PDFs that require all content to be within a specific margin range. Occasionally tables and figures are indented or otherwise spaced incorrectly so that the content violates the margin requirements. In Acrobat X, I could use the select tool to draw a select box around all of the text and lines within a table, for example, and just slide the entire table over a bit to meet the requirements without sending the PDF back to the author for a correction. This didn't always work, but often enough that I was able to use it on a daily basis.
Is there a way to select multiple (but not ALL) text blocks and image pieces on a page, so they may be moved simultaneously? If I have to select every text block and line (or every point and line within a graph) and move them each individually, this is going to be a nightmare.
I have Acrobat XI for both Mac and Windows, but tend to use the Windows version more often.

Hey, I'm using Acrobat XI and I can't multi select like I use too do with shift as always. Now I get a green note every time I want to multi select with shift + click as always. I also use Pitstop and I get the same green notes.
Can someone help me ?

  • How can I select and move half of my timeline content  to the right without altering anything?

    I am having trouble selecting a good portion of my timeline (including everything, transitions, music, etc) and moving to the right without having some parts to be shifted to wrong palces. A lot of times the end of certain movies get cut off, so I have to strech the clip again and find the right spot I had before than I end up creating a much bigger mess. I cannot find a way to select all the clips I want to move and have them freezed until I drop the click of the mouse. I am new to this and have been watching tutorials at lynda dot com to keep up with ny learning. Any help would be very much appreciate it. Thanks.

    Select the Track Select Tool (A). Place it over the clip from which you want to move everything.
    For multiple track hold down Shift. Hold down the mouse and drag to the right.
    Quick way is to lasso all the clips you want to move and drag it to the right.

  • How can I load and process an HTML5 file with Javascript in the same way as an XML file?

    I maintain a diary in local weekly files that I am converting to HTML5 from XHTML. I wish to extract all the "articles" about particular topics from these files and display them in different orders. It is possible to load an XHTML file using the loadXMLDoc function described at http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_loadxmldoc.asp but the same function detects a parsing error when it reads an HTML5 file. (For example, the parser expects an empty element's tag to end with />). How do I persuade Firefox 16.0.1 to use an appropriate parser?

  • How can I quickly and easily make Firefox on my newest computer the same as all my others (add-ons, extensions, etc.) without individually adding each one?

    I have several computers throughout my house and work, but mainly use my "Desktop-MAIN. " I frequently add different add-ons, scripts, extensions, etc. as the need for one arises. When the time comes that I am using my laptop in bed, or my sons computer in the den (whatever) I find that they are missing many of the cute doodads I have become accustomed to on MY desktop computer. In Firefox I used FEBE backup, which would backup EVERYTHING, including extensions, add-ons, etc. I just had to take it to my other computers and run FEBE, import the backup file and "whala!" My browser had all of the add-ons and things that my main computer had - w/o having to manually add each one.

  • How can I read and display data with OR without recording at the same time?

    Hi all,
      This forum has been of much help to me, but I have a rather specific question I can't seem to find an answer to.  I am new to LabView, educating myself with tutorials, trial and error, and this forum. 
      Attached is what I have so far.  I would like to read data (three voltages) and write it to an excel file.  As written below, it will do nothing until I click the "Record" button, when it then takes data, displays it on the gauges and waveform chart, and writes it to a file.  What I would like it to do is display the data at all times, and record when I click the record button (while still displaying data being read).  I have tried to do this by moving the DAQ Assistant VI, gauges, and waveform graph outside of the loops, but when I do this, it will read until I press record, and then it simply records whatever value it's stuck on.  Sorry for the long post, thanks for any help.

    Sorry, I don't have any DAQ installed, so I won't comment on the DAQ parts.
    First of all, Your VI will do nothing until you (1) first set the record button to ON  and (2) press the start button in the tool bar. It almost seems that you are using the "continuous run" button. (Don't! That's not its purpose. Basically, it automatically restarts the program whenever it finishes). A toplevel VI should never stop during normal operation, so place a big while loop around all code and create a wait state that does nothing until you tell it to acquire.
    You don't need the inner while loop, simply place your code inside the big while loop (and accumulate your array data in an initialized shift register if really needed. Currently you do at the inner loop boundary for some reason). You have a big problem that the array can grow without bounds unless you clear the accumulated data once in a while or place it in a FIFO buffer of limited size. If you let ot grow forever like you do now, the program might run out of resources at one point in the future.
    Since you are appending to your file, maybe yo don't need any shift register, just use the data points of the current iteration. Place your save operations in a case structure and keep appending the new data to your file only if the case is true.
    It is also very inefficient to use highlevel file IO here,because each instance opens and closes the file. I recommend to open the file once outside the loop, then use low level IO to append, and close the file once the big loop is done.

    Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
    Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.

    How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
    Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

    Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
    * one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

  • How do I create and move photos to a new folder on the iphone4?

    How do I create and move photos to a new folder on the iphone4?

    The way I do it is through iTunes.  First you have to have to import or already have the photos in your computer where you have iTunes and sync your phone.  When you have your phone connected and iTunes open click on the iphone under "devices" in the left sidebar list - then over to the right select Photos then Sync Photos and probably best to check selected folders unless you want them all, then choose the photo folders you want.  You have to have your photos in folders for multiple folders to be created in your phone, the names will be the same as the folders in your computer.  Alternately you can sync from one of your photo programs if they are listed as options and they will go to the phone in the structure you have your photos in in that program. 
    Hope this helps... There may be other ways and other third-party programs for doing this but I haven't looked...

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • TS3899 How do I select and delete multiple messages from mail?

    How can I select mutiple messages in my inbox and send them all to the trash without selecting each message and trashing it? Using the "Mark All" command does not give me that option--only the "Flag" and "Mark as Read" options.

    I know there is no delete all option within Mail app but this workaround does the trick
    1. Go to your inbox
    2. Press Edit
    3. Tap any message once to select it
    4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
    5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
    6. Release the Move button
    7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

  • Would like to be able to select and move multiple folders in one operation.

    Unless I'm missing something really simple here, there doesn't seem to be any easy way of selecting and moving multiple folders at once.
    Here's a little example of a simple task I want to do. I presently have a multitude of folders each seperated by the day the photo was taken on. So in my case for a given year I might have maybe 50 folders or so. It's getting a little cluttered, so all I want to be able to do is to take all the folders for one given year and place them in a folder with that year's date. This should be a simple 30 second task, simply select the folders I want moved by either <CTRL> or <SHIFT> clicking them, and then dragging and dropping them into the new folder.
    Right now, the only way I've figured how to do this this is to drag and drop each folder one by one, never mind that this is a slow process in itself, but to add to the slowness, whenever I try to drag and drop more than one folder consecutively, I get a message saying ... "Can not move a folder while another move operation is in progress...blah blah". Not that I want this to be the fix, but haven't they heard of queuing?
    I've seen people on the net suggest that for this type of task, you should simply move the folders in Windows first and then locate them in Lightroom. Again, unless I'm missing something very simple here, there doesn't seem to be a way to locate multiple missing folders at once. If I have to manually locate each missing folder one by one, then I'd rather just do the drag and drop thing as this would actually be faster.
    I've also tried moving the folders from within Windows first and then using the "Synchronize folder" option, yeah sure this works, but I lose any changes that I've done in Develop module. Not what I'm looking for.

    Daniel is right. It´s really strange that I can´t move several folders in one move! When I need more space on my laptop I move a group of folders (one folder for every photosession) to an archive. Therefore I really would like to move them in one click, not "baby-sitting" the move of each folder.
