Preview: Adjust Color greyed out for PDFs

Just scanned a bunch of pages as a PDF and opened it in Preview. The levels were off so I wanted to Adjust Color, but it was greyed out. Am I correct in assuming that this only works with image files, not PDFs?

A PDF file cannot be edited like a document file except using Adobe Acrobat. You can edit the original document, then create a new PDF. This is also true of image files if they have already been made into PDFs.

  • Mountain Lion purchased from Mac store will not download. 'Downloading' simply stays greyed out for hours.  Nothing I do changes it.  I am running OS 10.6.8 on a 2010 Mac Mini.  What do I do now?

    Mountain Lion purchased from Mac store will not download. 'Downloading' simply stays greyed out for hours.  Nothing I do changes it.  I am running OS 10.6.8 on a 2010 Mac Mini.  What do I do now?

    If you are looking at the front page of the App Store and you are seeing the "downloading" message on the right under Quick Links.
    Try this... Go into the "Purchases" section in the top bar of the App Store find ML in the list you are presented with. Does it say Resume? If so click the button and it will change to Pause. You may have paused it previously and forgot.
    If not then do as Csound1 suggested and simply wait for it to finish

  • Preview slow & Adjust Size greyed out

    Preview has started running slow and I can't adjust the size of a jpeg file - Adjust Size is greyed out. I'm running OS10.9.1 on a MacBook Air.  Never had this before.  Any ideas please?

    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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • Acrobat 9 Properties bar greyed out for highlighting

    I have posted on this issue last year, and also wrote to one of the admins -- all without any solutions, and the problem remains as bad as ever.  I imagine there are a lot of other people running into this.
    Acrobat 9 Properties bar greyed out (or disappears entirely) when text selected: it happens to me CONSTANTLY, using both Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat 9 Pro, all fully updated.  Tech support is useless and refuses to acknowledge or solve this extremely annoying problem.
    I need to highlight text (using different opacities of highlighting) in a variety of PDFs: scanned-ClearScan OCR, ebooks, downloaded journal articles, etc.  None of them are "restricted" in any way for security, commenting, etc.
    Within a few minutes of editing, when I go to highlight some text or change opacity, one of two things will happen spontaneously.
    1) Properties bar disappears entirely when text selected (erroneously changes to "No current selection")
    or
    2) Properties bar suddenly greyed out when text selected
    It is absolutely inconceivable that Adobe is unaware of this absurd defect -- and is unwilling or unable to fix such a simple functionality so that it works consistently and correctly!
    And no, this is not a matter of "turning on/off" the bar using <cntrl-E> -- that's irrelevant to this defect.
    And furthermore, commenting text formatting changes are not retained when set as new default (e.g., opacity of highlighting changes randomly from 20% > 60%, etc.)
    And I don't want to reset all toolbars, because I have them customized just-so.
    Can someone with more expertise PLEASE, PLEASE explain this problem or suggest a fix?
    thank you,
    calguy2010

    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.
    Go here and report it and perhaps if they hear from enough of us they will take the time to do something about it.

  • Adjustment Layers Greyed Out

    Hello All,
         I keep having the same problem, just a few times a month... I'll start work on an image and I'll strike up an adjustment layer, I'll post a image of what I'm talking about at the bottom, because it's actually happing to me as I type this... I was using levels, but it could be any adjustment layer, it's done it on almost every type of adjustment layer I've used... The AL will be completely greyed out... For instance, I can adjust the whites, greys, and blacks on the RGB AL for Levels, but I can't go any deeper than that, I usually do individual adjustments to the Red, Green, and Blue channels, then to the whites, greys, and blacks respectively... I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or knows how to solve it... If I'm making a double post here I'm terribly sorry and please take your time getting back to me... I'm not one to rush anyone, and good things come to those who wait... take care...
    http://yfrog.com/mwgreyedoutlevelsj

    Thank you both for the quick response. Zeno, I had just somewhat noticed that when I made a text layer that the adjustments panel would become greyed out... I can't seem to find a simple way to fix it, and it seems to stay around on the image even after I close it. If I close the image and reopen it, it doesn't go away, but if I save the image with a different name and then go back to the Adjustments panel I can then edit the levels adjustments for instance... I'll try your two methods the Help->System Info and going to Free Transform... Also thank you for reporting the bug to Adobe... Take care..

  • Select option greyed out for fields of custom DataSource (rso2, rsa6)

    Hi
    Why are several fields, in my custom DataSource (created in rso2) not available for select?
    I do not think this is a permission issue, since several fields are selectable, but not all fields.
    It is not the data type, since I see other custom DataSources that have the same data type, and it is selectable as a select option.
    This is not a DataSource that was provided by SAP, it is completely custom, and uses a custom data definition (defined as a structure via se11), and a custom function.
    I have read the responses to similar questions, but have not found an answer that explains how to make the field selectable for select.
    What determines which fields can be selected for selection, and which fields have this option greyed out (not selectable)?
    I have come across multiple answers, for similar questions, that suggest an abap program to directly update table roosfield.
    Is this safe?
    IF I choose this route will I need to run the update program on production, or will the change it makes to my dataSource transport with my transport?
    (I can test this).
    What I most need to know is If this suggestion is safe, or if it has side effects?
    Thank you

    Hi Eileen,
    In Least case to enable the selection for the fields with the below program:
    Below code is for your reference which will use to unhide objects in RSO2 or RSA6 for Data source( in code for BELNR, KUNNR, VBELN, BUDAT fields are unhiding for 0fi_ar_4 data source selection option) . Still need any clarifications let me know.
    SE38: Create a program for ref below code.
    REPORT ZNP_SELE_DS.
    tables: ROOSFIELD.
    UPDATE ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'P'
    WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_AR_4' AND   OBJVERS = 'A' AND FIELD = 'BELNR'.
    UPDATE ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'P'
    WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_AR_4' AND OBJVERS = 'A' AND FIELD = 'KUNNR'.
    UPDATE ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'P'
    WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_AR_4' AND OBJVERS = 'A' AND FIELD = 'VBELN'.
    UPDATE ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'P'
    WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_AR_4' AND OBJVERS = 'A' AND FIELD = 'BUDAT'.

  • ITunes 11 - Get Info greyed out for movies on external drive

    With iTunes 10, my itunes movies and TV shows grew to about 1.2TB of data, and I shifted them to an external drive.
    I was able to edit the information via 'get info' until upgrading to iTunes 11.
    Now all the information, bar the 'five stars' field are greyed out. If I shift a particular movie back to the internal drive, I can edit (genre, for example). Shift away again, get info greys out.
    Any advice? It feels like iTunes thinks it has the wrong permissions.

    When you add a movie to iTunes you have to make sure it makes a copy of the file in the iTunes Media folder.  Otherwise, you can't edit any of the information on the movie or video.
    In iTunes 12, go to Edit-->Preferences
    In Preferences, go to Advanced and make sure the "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library".
    Unfortunately, you will now have to re-import the movie files into iTunes using "Add File To Library..." Once imported, the movie will sometimes appear under "Home Movies" instead of "Movies" but if you right click on the movie file it will list a menu item called "Get Info" where you can change the "Options" to "Movie". 
    Hope that helps.

  • Photoshop CC tools not accessible & drop down menu commands greyed out for no apparent reason.

    Hi... I've been having this issue with Photoshop CC recently where in the middle of editing an image file all of a sudden none of the tools work.  When looking at the drop down menus most of the commands are greyed out, except for a few.  When looking at the image box, the filename at the top is greyed out.  I can't even choose to quit photoshop as this option is greyed out. I can do things like toggle through the "Change Screen Mode" (F Key), and when i select a tool it's icon appears on the screen, but I can't apply it.  After about 5 minutes it seems to correct itself & I can go on working with the image.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Well, that could indicate a dialog box appearing somewhere in the background or off screen, not even necessarily from PS itself. Also of course check the option for the restore data and incremental saving. Perhaps you are just seeing that...

  • Selection Steps greyed out for a Union Query - OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    I did some research and could not find possible solution/explanation for the issue I am facing.
    For one of the report which is based on Union of 3 queries in OBIEE 11g, I recently added a calculated item which now I would like to remove. The best way to achieve this was by removing respective step in selection steps.
    However I could not see complete list of steps in this Union report and also cannot modify or remove the selection step for calculated item (2 below). Also Selection steps on task bar is by default greyed out
    Below is what I see when I select selection steps
    1. Start with all members
    2. Then Add Average
    Any ideas or workaround.
    Thank you,

  • Stationery Pad option greyed out for iWork 08 files

    When you do a "Get Info" on files in Mac OS, you're supposed to be able to designate any given file as "stationery pad" - so when it opens, it automatically creates a copy, and your modifications go on that copy, not the original. This checkbox is greyed out on all my iWork 08 files. Yet it's available on, say, MS Office files. What's with that? I've checked out all the prefs I can think of for iWork 08, repaired permissions, etc. Yet no fix. Is this a defect of iWork 08? I want this feature!

    You can't do it in iwork because a pages file isn't a file; it's really a folder. You do it in iwork by saving your pages document as a template instead.

  • User Defined Fields greyed out for one user

    Hi Experts,
    One of our users is a Super User but on the Business Partner Master Data screen, the User Defined Fields are greyed out.
    This is user specific as the issue is happening for the same user on 2 seperate PCs.
    Other users can update these UDFs - any suggestions?

    Other terms
    UDF, user defined field, sbo-udf, settings for UDF are inactive, the settings for the udf are greyed out.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Need to use the Settings option to order the udf.
    In Tools -> User Defined fields -> Settings the option 'Settings' is greyed out and inactive.

  • "Use RAW files with external editor" greyed out for Photoshop CS2?

    I've just upgraded from iPhoto 5, and the "Use RAW files with external editor" option in the advanced preferences is greyed out when I select Photoshop CS2 as my external editor (back in the General pane).
    It works fine when Preview.app is selected. I can understand that pre-CS2 Photoshop wouldn't be available, but CS2 is capable of editing RAW images.
    Has anyone been able to get iPhoto 6 to send a RAW image to Photoshop CS2 using this preference? I've written an Applescript to do it in iPhoto 5, but I'd rather use something cleaner...
    15" PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Works great with Photoshop Elements, opens with Camera Raw. The issue is you can't save it so that iPhoto gets the changes.
    You have to save it and then re-import. I tried all permutations of saving it in originals and modified folders in the library. No luck. The only thing I didn't try is to save it as a jpeg over the top of the full sized one iPhoto created on import.
