Lost format after using text editing tool

Using Acrobat 9 Pro and the text editor on a scanned document. The edit works fine but when I save the altered file I lose the page format. The text has unwanted spaces and changes in the indentation. What am I doing wrong?

Probably nothing is wrong, other than your assumption that Acrobat is an editor. The editing it can do is very limited and is not recommended if it can be avoided. You might find it easier to save the OCR'd document to a DOC file and work on that, though you will probably have to fix the formatting and such.

  • Form - Can not use the Text Edit Tool in Adobe 9

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could please assist me, I have created a form but the text editing tool is coming grayed out, how am I able to get this function back?
    I simply need to remove one word and am unable to do so.  It tells me that some functionality is restricted for extended features and to save a copy.  but when i save a copy I am still unable to use the touch up tool.
    My Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    My guess is that you did use LiveCycle Designer and are not aware of that. Designer is accessed from Acrobat in the forms menu and may have come up even if you were not aware of it. If that is indeed the case, you can only edit the text in Designer.
    If it is an AcroForm, then it may be that you have activated Reader Rights or such. To remove Reader Rights, there is a specific procedure to use and unfortunately I do not remember it. If you have Reader Rights activated, indicate that and someone should be by that remembers how to remove the feature so you can edit the document. The removal is not as simple as one would think, but is rather straight forward. It involves saving or such -- I just don't remember and it is not something I am finding in the help menu.

  • What happened to the "Text Edits Tool" in Acrobat X?

    I know the answer is "it went away" but, seriously, please bring it back. In Acrobat 9, when you activated the "Text Edits Tool," it would automatically switch between insert, delete, and replace text in a context-sensitive way. You just had an active tool cursor - if you highlighted text and started typing, it would "replace" the text. If you clicked in one spot and started typing, it would "insert" text. If you highlighted text and clicked the Delete key, it would "delete" text. All this with one tool, that stayed active the entire time you were using it.
    Now, in Acrobat X, you have 3 different tools. You have to click to select the tool - mark the change. Click to select the next tool and mark that change. And on and on. And while you can right-click on any single tool and select "Keep tool selected" - there's no way to make that the default behavior. And that doesn't help when switching back and forth between activities.
    I know that the Selection Tool can now almost serve as the old "Text Edits Tool" - this works quickly with delete, but requires the tilde shortcut for insert or replace. Basically one extra step for each edit than there was with the Text Edits Tool.
    One might think that that little extra click isn't a big deal - but when you are marking up a PDF all day, every day, it adds up.

    I assume you're talking about commenting and markup rather than editing the text of the document itself.
    The keyboard shortcuts are  designed to do exactly what you want. With the multi-select tool active (I beam + black arrow on the toolbar):
    Select some text and press the Insert key - a new Replace text annotation is created and the note panel opened for typing. Press Esc to close the note
    Click to place the cursor within some text and press the Insert key - a new Insert text annotation is created and the note panel opened.
    Select some text and press the Delete key - a strikeout annotation is created (no note this time but you can add one by double-clicking)
    The idea of selecting something and 'just typing' to activate a markup event could not be retained as it interfered with the single-key accelerator mode.

  • Text Edit Tool icon missing in Acrobat Standard X

    Hi,
    In Acrobat 8 Standard, when I click "Text Edit Tool" icon, I can start insert, delete or replce text comments without re-click any  "insert", "delete" or "replace" icon in the Text Edit Tool until I press"Esc" key. 
    I just install Acrobat Standard X these days, It moved the commenting annotation to the right panel with those fancy icons.  Looks great!  However, I have to click on the "Insert", "delete" or "replace" icon on every action.  I am wondering if Acrobat remove the great feature or I am missing something? 
    p.s.  Just found ouy it is called "Text Correction Markup" in Acrobat Reader XI.  I can't image paid Acroabat Standard X has less feature than Acrobat Reader XI.  Hopefully, Adobe can have a Update to add the "accidentally removed" feature back to Standard X.
    Thanks

    Is there no response from Adobe? It's a serious issue that this useful tool was removed (or hidden?) in Adobe X.
    I use Acrobat for collaboration for much of my work, and it's a significant burden to have to click on each tool individually.

  • Why do I get a full screen window of the "Text Edits" tool...?

    I got Acrobat 8 and when I mark some text with the Text Edits tool and afterwards types som replacements, I just get one big pop-up box filling the whole screen instead of the normal sized in the left margin as usual. And I am not able to see what I'am typing since this kinda lies outside the screen picture. Is this a matter of settings - or a bug, or anyone else tried the same?
    Memebers of my work group use the same version with the same updates without problems.

    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select   View ▹ Show Log List   from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • Using text edit to view html code

    Why does text edit open a web page as if it's a web browser??? I want to use text edit to edit my html code and I can't open a web page in plain text view...it tries to render the page. Doesn't Apple have a text only app like Notepad for Windows?

    I searched for text edit, not textedit - until after I posted this. sorry

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

  • Dark path's edges after using shape builder tool or masking objects

    hi,
    i have a problem with path edges after using shape builder tool or masking objects. This problem occurs when i draw bright colored objects above dark colored object. After that i have dark path's edges. Like this: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2051/dlm2.jpg     
    I have one solution (pathfinder->dive objects and delete some dark elements on the bottom) but maybe someone know another solution for this problem?

    Thank you for reply
    Unfortunately, I don't have opportunity to print it, but as you wrote, it must be a screen artifact. I exported this file to tiff, then i opened it in photoshop. Everything is ok. All of the edges are clear.

  • Can I use text edit to build a web page using html ?

    I'm building a website for a class project and am using text edit with html.  I have been successful creating a webpage, but everytime I save and reopen text edit, I am unable to continue working on my original project.  Suggestion?

    You have force TextEdit to append .html at the end of each new file, cause it insists on using .txt if plain or .rtf if fancy. And as for OPENING preexisting .html files, Safari will try and beat you to it. So you either have to control-click the victim and do an Open with... or drag and drop it onto TextEdit on the dock.
    I'd suggest you get a proper HTML editor instead, unless your teacher is a sadist. The Mozilla Project's SeaMonkey browser has a very competent editor to use. And it allows you to upload the results directly without requiring further code.

  • After using various retouch tools, Aperture often returns to the original image and I can't get my retouched image back....any ideas?

    After using various retouch tools on an image, Aperture often (but not always) spontaneously returns to the orginal image and I have to start all over again.....this seems to happen most often after I use the clone tool.  Is this a new bug or what?  It just started happening a few weeks ago. 

    I fond the answer. Inexplicably,some of the song tracks, the 'deepest' files in the structure, had become hidden. There was no clear pattern - most of my music files come from CDs, with a small number of legal downloads (mostly from iTunes). So although the artist and album folders were not hidden, if there were no unhidden song files in the album folder, apparently iTunes skipped the artist.
    Changing the attributes of all music files to unhidden took care of everything.
