Now unable to use Touch Up Text Tool

Since 2007, I've used a mac laptop for creating invoices in Quickbooks and saved them as pdfs. They are saved to my 2009 IMac as acrobat (9.4.1. version) pdfs. Over the years I have, on occasion, made minor edits using the edit text tool.
Beginning yesterday, I am no longer able to use the text edit feature (system font not available?!?). See attached. It appears fine.
When I go into properties it say font not available
Can someone offer some guidance? Happy New Year!

It is a good practice to embed fonts if Touch Up Text is a tool you often use.
Is the person creating the pdf the person who is editing the created pdf? If not, my guess based on the exclusion list in your post is that the users have different versions of the Arial font installed. There are small, but significant, differences in kerning and line height between different Arial versions.

Touch Up Text Tool

Hi,
I ran OCR on a document and wante to play with the touch up text tool. The issue is, I don't know how to view how acrobat has interpreted the words, so how can I figure out what it has got wrong or right without converting to word etc first. I can type touch up text, but its as if I'm using white font and I can only see what I've typed after I put it into word.
On a separate note, how can I get Acrobat to recognise tables so that it can display these tables in a word export?
Thanks

Hi,
Last first. Tables - OCR provides a "best-estimate" character output of what it 'sees' of the discrete image of the text characters.
It does not interpret format and layout.
Higher end applications ($$) provide additional functionality that may output a reasonable "best-guess" of layout/format (of which tables are a subset).
However, the OCR provided with Acrobat only does the character image recognition.
Acrobat's OCR output is dictated by which of the three modes you use.
These are Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact), or ClearScan.
The first two provide a layer of "hidden text".
Use Examine Document to view this Hidden Text.
There is no practicable way to edit this hidden text in a PDF (keyword is "practicable").
However, you could try selecting PDF page content (a page at a time) and, via TouchUp Text tool's context menu go the Properties of the selected text.
In the Text tab, change selected hidden text to a font installed on the local machine. This may be sufficent to support what you want to do.
ClearScan output is where you can work "suspects".
Selecting each PDF page's content in turn, you can use the TouchUp Text Tool to get into the properties of the selected text and change the font to something available on the local machine.
To edit ClearScan post Suspect cleanup you will need to do this.
ClearScan output is an Adobe font created specifically for ClearScan.
Be well...

Touch-up Text Tool and Fonts

We are on Windows 7, Office 2007 and Acrobat 9. We have recently discovered that when you pdf a Word document, open within Acrobat, then try to use the Touch-Up Text Tool, it changes the kerning/character spacing of the text upon saving. The only fix we have found for this is within Word, choose Acrobat Preferences, under Advanced Settings, click on Fonts, and REMOVE the fonts from "Never Embed Fonts" pane. You need to ensure that any font that is in the Word document is removed from this area. This seems odd to me. Can anyone enlighten me on this? See below screen shots of text spacing changes as well as Font Menu.

Possible to modify blocks of text as defined by Touch Up Text tool?

I have scanned a document and OCRed it. Using the Touch Up Text Tool, I can approach the text, but the text areas are not as defined by the tool. Is there a way to modify a block as defined? I.e. There is a heading over 2 columns of text. The OCR process defined this as one block of text.

Thank you very much for your input.
I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible because I don't want to have to crunch the data manually myself later on, instead just teach someone else how to do it.
The first search and replace action seems basic enough but regarding the second one I would have to manually assign that paragraph style to the line where the data would break because one can only assign character styles in nested styles, right?
Also I've heard that ID CS5 automatically creates new pages based on a template when you paste information inside the first page, is that so? That would be great because that way the person wouldn't have to manually create pages and link the contents throughout the document but instead simply open my template and paste the information within the first master page. That's not possible with CS4, is it?
Thank you very much!

Scanned pdf - touch up text tool - upside down text

Have a few pdfs created with Acrobat, scanned with a Canon 7080.
When opening the pdfs and using the Touch Up text tool to add text, the text is upside down.
The pdf is oriented correctly.
It does the same on a few other machines so it seems to be something specific the documents.
Most other pdf files are fine.
I have printed to pdf and it fixes the problem (added text is right side up) but I'd like to know how it got messed up to begin with.
Any ideas?
TIA

Sounds like you used the searchable text form of OCR. Thus the text is hidden and that is what is happening. To see the text, you would want to use the ClearScan form of OCR. At this point I don't have any good suggestions. A lot depends on what you are trying to do. In any case, trying to do major editing to a PDF with the text touchup tool is not recommended. Not the name of the tool is touchup, not retype. The method you are using will not make any change to the appearance, only to the hidden text.

HT1414 I attempted to update my iphone 3 through I tunes - I think I did a back up on my pc - I am now unable to use the phone at all - it cannot be turned off and seems to be syncing all the time, even when it is not connected to itunes.

I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes. I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first. I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive. I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc. I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?

Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it. If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup. They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

After downloading new version of Firefox 4 I am unable to use touch pad for scrolling. I have tried installing and uninstalling the new version but this problem has always been occuring.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Return key not creating a new line when using the horizontal text tool

Going through the adobe after effects 'classroom in a book' examples - when writing a line of single line using the horizontal text tool pressing return does not create the next line underneath, the cursor stays on the same line?
Anybody out there had this problem?

Hi Bill
Thanks for replying!
My OS is windows 7. I think it is the first time I have needed to put more than one line of text in an after effects layer. I am new to CS5.5 - after effects and I'm going through an adobe tutorial 'classroom in a book' series book.
I thought about using a paragraph text box as you suggest but could not find the function in the tools menu.
I have since tried clearing the cache out and restoring default layout but with no joy.
I have used the return key for multiple line text in premier pro and it works perfectly ok.
Cheers,
Alan

Preventing third parties from using the TouchUp Text Tool on generated documents

While perusing the options of Adobe Acrobat at work I had the good fortune of finding the TouchUp Text Tool. Now I am trying find a relatively simple solution in order prevent third parties from using this same tool to easily modify pdfs we create from Mac Word 2011. My research has come up with applying a password/certificate/security policy but I have been unable to figure out how to apply one of these solutions automatically to all newly generated documents.
Is there a way to automatically apply a password/certificate/security policy on every pdf that is converted from Word 2011? Preferably one that does not involve additional investment in software. Or another similar work around.
Thank you in advance!

Please try to re print the document using Adobe PDF printer and make sure you embed the fonts during the conversion to new file.
Can you also upload few sample files for further investigation ?

Using speech to text tool

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro.
I’m trying to use OS X Mavericks to dictate a note to my laptop.
I clicked System Preferences from the Apple icon, then Accessibility button and then Speakable Items.
After that I clicked Settings, but I don’t know how to TURN ON Speakable Items, which I see selected.
I went on to press Listening Key on the Feedback window and said, “Hello, what’s happening?” I didn’t see it as typed text anywhere, as I expected to. I also selected “Open Speech Commands.” Again nothing happened!
Could you tell me what I did wrong?
Thank you.
Mustafa Malik

Hello Eric,
Thanks for the tip. I clicked a couple of tabs after clicking Speakable Items. Can't tell you now which ones. But I see now that when I speak two arrows - from the left and right - are hitting the Speakable Item bug. I guess it's responding to my talk. Where should I be looking for the text, if it's creating it?
Thanks again.
Mustafa

Verizon Reps incorrectly led us to sign up for edge, now unable to use more everything plan

I have a family of 5, 3 people on one account and 2 of us each with our own accounts. We have all been loyal customers for 5+ years. With the data pricing changes and new plan options being rolled out, we decided we wanted to take advantage of the More Everything Plan. We also wanted to use Edge plans to upgrade our devices while getting the most cost effective discounts to make the plan work for everything. The main key to the plan is you pay ~$25 a month for your edge phone but your monthly line cost per phone drops from $40 to $15. This main all of our bills more economical.
Sounds great right? So we are in the store, we go through all the options and the rep edges up all of our phones and tells us to call next billing cycle during the week (not open on weekends) the "Transfer of account liability" line to then combine everything into our 10GB shared data plan on one account.
So we all left happy with our new phones and the 2 of us on our own accounts called the "Transfer of account liability" line when our next billing cycle began. We were then told YOU CAN NOT TRANSFER AN ACCOUNT WITH AN EDGE AGREEMENT
Wow...completely misled by the reps in the store. Now we are all stuck with double sized bills that would make no sense for us to ever sign up for on our own. The store has said this issue has been raised up to corporate since it was fully their fault but it has been over a month now and they still say they have no answer for us. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.
The only option they suggested is maybe we could pay off our edge agreement in full (~$600 each) and then do the transfer. But the one question they can't even answer in this scenario is will we still receive the $40 ---> $15 discount on the monthly line cost for having an edge plan phone. If not, this would not make any sense and we would still be paying double what we signed up for.
This issue needs to be resolved ASAP as we have already paid multiple months since this started of exta high bills. I used to speak highly of Verizon but this has changed my mind completely. I'm coming to this forum as a last means of help as no other person in store or on the phone has been able to help.
Thanks

Unable to use B2B Document Editor tool to create guideline from data file

Does anyone successfully used the B2B Document Editor tool to generate the guideline doc from an HL7 data file ?
I attempted to use the SpecGenerator feature of this tool to create a guideline from the "a01.xml" sample file in the HL7 tutorials (came with the B2B installation" and the wizard kept on giving me "parsing errors" message below
"The data in the file could not be parsed. Please check the file to verify that it is valid and formatted correctly. This error can occur for one of the following reasons: A) The data file may be a Word document or have some other binary format. B) The envelope data may not be formatted properly. If this is an X12 data file, please verify that the ISA segment is the correct size (exactly 106 characters). If this is an EDIFACT data file, it must have either a UNA or begin with UNB. For other standards, verify that the envelope segments conform to the specified rules. C) The segment/record delimiters in the file are incorrect."
Any idea why ? I did not alter the sample file in anyway -- its format is exactly the same as when it was installed.
Any helps are appreciate !!

Hi,
I would suggest that you learn the B2B product starting with the HL7 tutorial. Start by importing the export files and follow the instructions to make the system work end to end.
Next, you want to configure for the HL7 tutorial manually using the ecs and xsd files provided in the HL7 tutorial directory. Again, ensure that the system work end to end after you have done the manual configuration.
Next, you create a new ecs and xsd file using the Document Editor from scratch and use them in your manual configuration. You can use the same doctype and version as in the tutorial so that you can be familiar with the Document Editor and at the end of this exercise, you know you have done things properly if the system works end to end. The documentation for Document Editor is mainly in the Windows Help section.
After the incremental steps above, you will have the knowledge to implement the document type and version of your project. Going straight into the requirements in your project makes it difficult to debug because they are too many moving parts.
Hope this helps,
Eng
