Preview issue: can't change the text of annotation taken in PDFs.

With Preview you can annotate PDFs (highlight or underline text, taking notes). It is a nice feature, and I use it a lot.
I've notice that after saving the changes made on a PDf, I can no longer modify the text in the notes (I can change the text, but these changes are not saved). To me it is a terrible limitation, I would say it is a BUG.
The workaround is to delete the note, and create a new one with the new text, but it's time consuming.
I hope this behavior will be changed soon.
Bye,
Giorgio

PDF documents were really never meant to be editable, especially not with a program named "Preview". Use a different format or some specialized software such as PDF Clerk Pro or Full Acrobat.

  • Can i change the text colors in the app store

    Can i change the text colors in the App Store as i find it very difficult to read the grey text on a black background?

    No, you cannot change.
    The only thing you can change as a whole:
    SETTINGS/GENERAL/ACCESSIBILTY/ turn on WHITE ON BLACK.
    You can test to see if this one fits you.  If not change it back.

  • How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

    How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
    I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
    I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

    Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
    I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

  • How can I change the text in toolbars ("Forward" to "Fwd", etc)

    I want to shorten the text for items in my toolbar because the address box is way too short. I know how to change the items for items on the second row toolbar (right-click>properties), but I want to change the text for items in the top row. Right click does not show a property option for the items in the top row. For example, I want to change "Back" to "Bk", "Forward" to "Fwd". Two of the items are way too long ("Google Shortcuts v" and "Downloads"). I want to change these to "Gogl extr" and "DnLds". I want both text and the icons.
    By any chance, if the above can not be done, can I create custom icons? I'd take the current icon (where are they stored?) and add my own text into the icon, then tell firefox to show the icon.
    I'm using Firefox 22.0

    Have you considered using Icons ''(only)'' instead of Text and Icons in the Customize Toolbars dialog box?

  • How can i change the text of inbox?

    Hello SRM friends
    I use SRM Server5.5. (Classic scenario)
    I want to change the text of inbox.
    We have the following process for GR.
    1.     Vendor request confirmation (GR) in SRM.
    2.     Approver approves the confirmation on approval menu.
    As you know that standard text is “Approve Confirmation no. 1000000166 from Local vendor test “ in approval list. 
    “Approve confirmation no. <Confirmation number> from <vendor name>.”
    I think that confirmation number and vendor name are variable.
    I want to change this text such like “Approve GR for PO no. <PO number> from <vendor name>”
    How can I change this text of inbox?
    Is there any BADI or function?
    Thank you
    Best regards,
    SH

    Hi Andy
    2) Enter Worklfow: WS10400020 ( check whether this wokflow is active for GR )
    --> Yes.
    3) Go to the Task TS10407924 and double click
    or 1) Go to pftc_dis - > give task TS10407924
    --> Yes. I changed text "Approve GR For PO number &PROCCONFIRMATION.PURCHASEORDER&from&DOCUMENTCREATOR&
    But Approver can see the text " Approve GR For PO number"
    But i go to BBP_PD, I can see the worlflow text " Approval GR for PO number  from VENDOR2"
    Is there additioanl step to activate the changed text?

  • Can we change the text in PanelCollection --   default toolbarItemDisplay ?

    Hi ,
    In the Panel Collection, we have a table inside. The panel collection provides the default icons like a search button and a Detach button.
    By default the text in Detach button is appearing as "Maximise" always. Even when the screen is maximised the text is the same.
    I want to change the text to "Minimise" when the screen is maximised. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    E-mails generated with that function module are created in plain text format.  The font that would appear when reading the e-mail would be dependt on the user's setting for the e-mail application (e.g. Outlook).
    To my knowledge, the font cannot be affected during it's creation.
    Hope this sheds some light on your issue.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors and check the default colors.

  • How can I change the text layers to a specific color at the same time and in the fast way?

    Dear all!
    I am using Photoshop CS5. I typed 65 text layers in my file and wish to change their colors to a specific Black Color, but I don't know how to select all the layers at the same time so that I can change all the text layers from Red Color to Black Color in the fast way. Now I only select one layer and then change. It means I must select and change 65 times for the text layers. Hope you can understand what I mean.
    Thanks a lot.
    My Kindest Regards,
    LUCK

    One way is to select all the text layers, select the type tool in the tool box
    and set the color from the tool options bar.
