No v9 properties toolbar access except in last document opened

Has anyone else noticed this in v9.0 or 9.1 of acrobat?
You want to change the properties of an object such as the text format in a comment/markup text box and, even though you can select the text, "No current selection" is reported where the properties would normally appear.
This seems to only happen when the document being edited is not the last one opened by acrobat. It seems to hold true for shapes and other items that could otherwise be modified using the properties toolbar. Disabling and re-enabling the toolbar does not help. Closing the document and then re-opening it does fix the problem for the one document because now the document is the last document opened, but now the prior "last document opened" no longer works in this respect, even if it had been working.

Still not fixed!
Assumptions for this test:
1. Acrobat has been configured so that the "Text Box Tool" (part of the "Comment & Markup Toolbar") is visible on the toolbar.
   (Tools --> Customize Toolbars... may need to be used to se this up)
2. The "Properties Bar" is visible (a Ctrl-E should bring it up if it is not already so)
If you had to make changes to get this configuration set, close all Acrobat windows before proceeding so that the settings will be remembered and used when new windows are open.
******BUG******
Text box TEXT PROPERTIES only accessible in most recent file opened.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open a 1st PDF
2. Open a 2nd different PDF
3. Arrange so both are visible.
4. in the 1st PDF create a text box and notice how the window for the 2nd PDF gets the TEXT BOX PROPERTIES BAR
5. notice how there is no way to change the text box properties in the first window.
Results: Text box properties can only be changed in the most recently opened window.
Expected results: Text box properties should work for all windows!
Note that no properties (color, fill, font, ...) of any object (line, rectangle, callout, ...) can be changed using the Properties Bar if the properties bar is not part of the last window opened.
The only kludgy workaround I've found is that if I need a working properties bar in a particular window I can:
1) save the file to capture any outstanding changes that might not have been captured (this is an optional step)
2) make a throw-away minor change to the file (I usually draw a short line segment)
3) Go to File --> Revert (& Confirm)
The file will close and reopen without the throw-away change and it will now be the last file opened so it will now have a working properties bar.

  • Application it starts the the last document opened instead a new one

    After I upgraded to 10.7.2, When I open an application it start the the last document opened when I closed. This is for all MS Office (Word, Excell, PPT), Safari (opens the last tab and not the home site). Any solution to this?

    Doesn't this happen to you too?
    Not any more.
    I unchecked the dialog in System Preferences.
    I properly quit (Command + Q or File > Quit) every application before shutting down. It has always been the default OS behavior that whatever window you had open at shutdown or restart will open when you boot up - that behavior is not new.
    I also uncheck the dialog window before/while shutting down.
    And, I went a step further (this will stop all):
    Open your now hidden User Library folder by holding Option key and going to Go in Menu.
    Scroll down to "Saved Application State" folder.
    Select all content and drag to trash.
    With that folder highlighted, hold Command + I keys.
    In the resulting window (you may have to unlock the lock at the bottom and input your admin password), check the box next to "Locked".
    Lock the lock at the bottom.
    Doing this will prevent any files being written to that folder which means there is nothing "saved". My folder has been empty since I locked it.
    P.S. The macworld article works as well.....

  • Last document opens on startup

    Hello, I've been running InDesign CS6 and every time I launch the program the first thing it does is open the last document I was working on (which I did close before quitting the program). This is extremelly annoying. How can I disable it?

    Yeah I bet you are working on Lion.

  • Page totals not printing on any pages except the last

    How do you get page totals to display one each page and "float" with the output? I created a summary object for the column with reset at page and put it in a frame that is displayed on all pages. There is, of course, a repeating group above it. But the repeating group clobbers the page totals on all except the last page. Shouldn't there be an implicit anchor that prevents this? that's what the Oracle documentation says anyway. This is probably real simple, but I find nothing in any documentation, white papers, or anything.
    Will somebody please, please help me?

    Hi,
    Step 1: Select the parent frame of the summary column.
    Step 2: Open properties of that frame
    Step 3: Set the property "Print Object On" to "All Pages" value.
    (Default value for this property is "Last Page"

  • Properties Toolbar not displaying in Acrobat Standard 9.0

    In editing an Adobe document the Properties Toolbar does not display even though the Toolbar is checked.     The Toolbar will not display unless the document is exited and all Adobe documents are closed and Adobe is opened again.    Is this a known bug or has anyone else run into this?

  • Properties toolbar not responding

    I am running Windows 7. I have a copy of Acrobat Pro 9 on my machine, as well as Reader X, with the latest updates.
    I only noticed this recently, but in Reader X, the Properties Toolbar isn't responding to anything...like if I select a highlight (text that has already be highlighted), the Properties toolbar doesn't respond or change...it's like it is unlinked from whatever actions I am performing. The Properties Bar in Acrobat Pro 9 works fine.
    Any ideas?

  • Exception aggregation - Last Value

    Hi,
    We are having requirement where we have a table in non R/3 system for SKU - Customer level closing stocks on particular day are maintained. We want to create a cube for the table in BI. This table contains entries for SKU + Customer for diff days. We want to show the closing stock of last(/latest) day for which Customer+ SKU record exists. To achieve this we have used Calculated Key figure on Closing stock with Exception Aggregation - Last value with ref to Calendar Day.
    It woks fine only if I have Customer & SKU both used in query. But we have to show these stocks aggregated on Plant level. (Customer are linked to Plants and it is directly avbl in our cube). In this case aggregation does'nt work.
    Lets say following are the closing stocks for SKU- M1 & 3 customers from Plant = 1101
              date-> 1/1/2007  2/1/2007  3/1/2007
    Cust1             10                           15
    Cust2                            20
    Cust3             25            
    In above case if i have to see closing stock on 3/1/2007 for SKU-M1 @plant 1101 (sum of latest closing stock @ all customer sites under plant 1101), i should get = 60 (152025). But it gives me 15 only.
    Could anyone explain how to design a query for this? Or in cube design/uploads it can be managed.
    Regards,
    Vikram.

    Hello Vikram
    One possible solution I can think of is to use an extra ODS in order to hold your data in an aggregated form that suits you. Unfortunately the exceptional aggregation behaviour does not work outside reporting thus in the transfer rules from your data provider to this new ODS you should add a formula checking whether the new record to be transfered to the ODS has a date newer than the ones already transfered in the ODS. Else it should skip the current record and proceed to the next one.
    Another possible solution would be to use the APD and transfer the results of the query you are already playing in an ODS (this way you take advantage of the exceptional aggregation behavior) and by transfering your records to a second ODS you can achieve the aggregation you need.
    Assign points if any of the above helped
