Line Tool in Adobe Acrobat 9.0

The line tool is permitting only horizontal and vertical rules, and it attempts to join these as 90-degree angles. Is there a way to adjust this so that I can make diagonal rules?

I can draw lines at any angle with the line tool. Just keep your finger off the shift key.

  • Why can't I search/find text I added in a PDF with the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X?

    If I use the TouchUp Text tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9/X to modify a text, the program can't find the added/changed text. But when I just delete letters/words in the text, the rest/changed words can be found. Is that a known problem? Is there any fix or workaround?

    Fantastic. There is all sorts of nonsense out there on how to fix this problem, but your simple suggestion works perfectly. Thanks!

    How do you increase the font size to bigger than 24, using the typewriter tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac?   Often I just want to label an item on a map that is in PDF and want to use a simple label rather than a Text Box for labeling, but have yet to find a way to increase the font size beyond 24.   Can someone help me with this? - JML

  • Enable Commenting Tools in Adobe Acrobat under Browser Plug-in in Internet Explorer using

    We have a problem in showing commenting tools in Adobe Acrobat under browser plug-in in Internet Explorer.  Adobe Support cannot answer my question and refer me to Devnet here.
    Our system is using browser plug-in to display PDF file by Acrobat under > > Internet Explorer (document viewer). The PDF documents have reader extension enabled.
    We supposed that if a PDF page is viewed and I customize the toolbar, the same toolbar and icon will be displayed next time when I retrieve a page, only if I select "Review and Comment" icon, and it only applies for v8.0.0. If I do not select review and comment icon, or I have selected review and comment icon but > > use other version of 8.x, my selected toolbar and icon cannot reappear next time.
    If my selected toolbar and icon do not appear, I can press F8 to hide the icons. If press F8 again to unhide the icons, all my selected icons can be shown this time. But it does not automatically re-appear if I open another documet viewer.
    Kindly note that all PDF files have reader extension enabled, and only Acrobat 8.0.0 Professional is used in client PC. There is no Adobe Reader in the PC. The PDF version is 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) or 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x). The user has comment rights since the PDF file has reader extension and Acrobat 8.0.0 is used. User has no problem in mark-up the PDF files, but has problem in showing the selected tools.
    OS: Windows 2000 SP4
    Browser: IE 6.0 SP1
    Acrobat version: Acrobat 8.0.0 Professional
    PDF version: 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) or 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
    Steps to produce the problem.
    1. Scan paper document and create a batch of PDF files (one page per file)
    2. Enable reader extension for all PDF files by LifeCycle.
    3. Put the PDF files into a web based interface, entering a page number will open a new web browser which interface the browser plug-in and display the content of the imaged PDF file by Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0.
    4. Open a page. It only show a few icons on toolbar (see a.png).
    5. Select the commenting icons to be shown (do not enabled in "review and comment)".  The icons will be shown.
    6. If the browser is closed, then use the web interface to open another page, the selected tools cannot be shown (same as a.png attached in my previous email).
    7. Select "review and comment" tool. (see b.png attached in my previous email)
    8. The selected tools are shown again (see c.png attached in my previous email).
    9. Close the browser, use the web interface to open another page, the selected tools are still here.
    10. Unselect "review and comment", the selected tools will be hidden next time when a page is opened by the web interface.
    11. Close the browser, and open a new page in web interface, the PDF file will be shown, and the selected icons are hidden.
    12. Press F8 to hide icons, all tools are hidden.
    13. Press F8 to unhide icons, all selected tools that are not shown in step 11 are shown again
    14. If Acrobat 8.0.0 is patched or updated, "review and comment" tool has no effect in "memorizing" the selected tools.

    That option is nothing to do with the PDF being editable, it's to control the display of the toolbars. "Reading Mode" is when the toolbars are hidden and the black head-up display navigation bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
    PDFs displayed within a web browser with Acrobat/Reader X are not editable, nor can you apply markups, unless you're within a browser-based-review workflow. You have to save a copy locally and open it in desktop mode to make any changes.

  • Defaulting Bold in Text Tool in Adobe Acrobat 8

    Good Afternoon,
    I have a user who has Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.  She wants her default text tool to use a bold font.  I was able to figure out how to change the default color of the text tool (and keep it), but bold does not stay.  Does anyone know how to set the default font to bold in the Text Tool.
    Thanks!

    I do not know how you created the PDF. You might try going back and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Open AA6 and then select the file that way. Does this work?

  • Where is the TouchUp Reading Order Tool in Adobe Acrobat X

    Hi,
    Our company just switched to Adobe Acrobat X and I'm having issues with some of the tools. In the old adobe acrobat I was able to use the TouchUp Reading Order Tool; does that tool still exist in X? I've tried the Edit Object tool but it's not working for me. I've tried holding down shift and the Edit Object tool but that doesn't seem to work also.
    Please help if you can.
    Mara

    In the Tools section on the right in Acrobat X, not all the possible tools are displayed. From the flyout menu at the upper right select the Accessibility section and you'll find it there.

  • On line versions of Adobe Acrobat

    With Acrobat XI I am able to secure a document with a password.  I would prefer to use an on line version to enable device independence.  Am I able to make a document secure (password protected) with any of the on line versions?  thanks.

    Hi Steve,
    None of the Acrobat online services allow you to secure a PDF with a password. You need Acrobat to apply security to a PDF.
    Best,

  • How to add line spacing on adobe acrobat pro extended

    Hi everyone,
    I'm chaging an abobe form in to dynamic, and i get a problem with the multiline function. I need to have my text field in multi lines, but only 5 lines. I searched all tab on text field properies but seems that there's no way to set specific line numbers on text field. Can anyone help?

    This requires a script that will open the other file (the file has to be disclosed first), read the barcode field value, close that file and then populate that value into the barcode field in the original file. This is not a simple task and there are surrounding issues like the relative location of both files, the trigger for this action, etc.

  • Acrobat pro: how set default properties for arrow and line tool seperately?

    I have a problem with the 'comment and markup' tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    I would like to change the defaults of some of the tools, eg the arrow and the line tool.
    This can be achieved by right-clicking on something drawn using the tool in question and then selecting 'properties' - or by selecting the tool and then press ctrl+E, wich opens a 'Callout Tool Properties', and then change what you want there. The latter option keeps the changes as defaults - the former offers a box to tick in the 'properties' dialogue that opens - or, you can right-click on the object again after having changed the properties, and then select 'Make Current Properties Default'.
    My Problem is now, that, apparently, you cannot choose and save default properties freely and for each tool. I woul like to have the default properties for the line tool set as the following:
    -line color: yellow
    -line thickness: 8pt
    -opacity: 60%
    and fot the arrow tool as this:
    -line color: red
    -line thickness: 1pt
    -opacity: 100%
    This all works fine as long as the program is open. As soon as I exit and start it again opening another document /the same one again, the arrow tool changes to
    -line color: yellow
    -opacity: 60%
    only the line thickness remains at 1pt.
    If I change the properties of the line to the ones I want for the arrow, the arrow properties remain unaltered if I close Acrobat Pro.
    Why do these properties interfere? Why is it "line color/thickness" in both? Why, then, do only the opacity and the color interfere, but not the thickness - even if it's the latter two properties that are bot called "line xxx"? Why does Acrobat not save all properties for these two shapes seperately - even IF the two shapes are both of a line-like kind?
    Is there a way to get around this?

    Trobbel - This indeed is puzzling behavior. Clicking 'Make Current Properties Default' should preserve the default  appearance for each. I don't have a solution, but merely a couple of suggestions:
    1) Make sure you have installed any available upgrade for your version of Acrobat Professional.
    2) Consider using the line tool exclusively - you can add an arrowhead and make one tool perform both tasks.
    Hope this helps. /rmbrown

  • Why do I have two versions of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed on my desktop?

    I have a monthly subscription to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - which I obtained via download.  I am using a desktop running Windows XP (yes, I know, it's time to update).
    When I click on my control panel icon and then the "add / remove programs" option (in an effort to look for old or unused programs to get rid of), I see that there are two line items for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - each approximately 2,000.00 MB in size. 
    I would like to know whether one of these is an unnecessary duplicate and if so, whether I can delete it without that affecting the program.  I'm hoping this will save a little space on my hard drive.
    Thanks so much for any advice.

    Thank you soo much!  I was tempted to delete one thinking it was actually a 2nd version taking up lots of unnecessary space.
    Cheers
