Question about editing text for Acrobat 9 pro...

I recently switched to Vista and Acrobat 9 pro and everytime I go to edit my PDF I use the "text touch-up" tool just like I should yet the tool just shifts and distorts the text without actually replacing or deleting any of the text.  Has anyone encountered/know how to fix this problem?  Thank You.

Such problems are not new with AA9. Editing has always been hit and miss. It may be that if you tried to edit one of the files you used to work on, things would work fine and it is simply the particular file at hand. I will not deny that there may be changes to the methods in AA9 that make things worse, but it never was great.

  • Can't edit text in Acrobat X Pro

    I can't seem to edit text properly in a recently created PDF document, using Acrobat X Pro. I went to the help file, and followed the instructions, but it isn't working right. All I need to do is replace the numeral "8" with a "7" in a paragraph. When I finally get to the point to edit the text, I can delete the "8" but when I type "7', it creates a large space instead.
    The instructions said that maybe I have to do something regarding the adobe font, so I did that, was able to finally enter a "7" but it messed up the formatting of the paragraph. Surely it can't be this hard to revise one character?

    Steve,
    There are definitely folks out there that have had the same problem in Lion.  Just to cover the obvious basics however ... Select the clip with the text in it (we are talking about Titles, right?). Then position your timeline vertical playback marker somewhere in that clip.  Go up to the preview window and make sure the little rectangle icon in the lower left corner is Blue (enabled) ... a little horizontal line will appear near the center of the text area with a little circle on the end.  Then go to a word in your text and double click it.  Does it select the word? Making sure again that the text clip is actually selected on the timeline, if it does not select the text then I probably cannot help you.  There are other discussions on this topic, but I really do not know for sure if there are resolutions.  FYI, I use FCP X with Lion and 16GB on a 2011 21" iMac and use text titles about 20 times a week and do not have a problem at all.  Still I know the problems others are seeing are real.  Best wishes,

  • Editing text in acrobat xi pro

    I had to reinstall acrobat xi pro but now I am unable to edit any text or images.
    Can anyone advise me?
    Many Thanks
    sean

    Hi iseanwm,
    Please let us know what you mean by "unable to edit." Are you getting an error message? Does Acrobat freeze?
    Please provide the following, so we can get to the bottom of this frustrating issue:
    Are you on Mac OS or Windows?
    Have you installed the latest Acrobat update (choose Help > Check for Updates).
    Does this problem occur with just one file, or with any that you open in Acrobat?
    What happens when you try to edit (error message, freeze)?
    We look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Editing Text Boxes, Acrobat X Pro

    2 Questions.
    1.  I would like to change the fill/background colour of a text box but can't find where to do it?  Can someone point me in the right direction.  Right now, my text boxes are all white.  I would like them to be a different colour with white text.  I can select white for my text, but can't seem to change the background.
    2.  I would like to merge all my text boxes so that if opened by Acrobat, people don't see hundred of text boxes when they click on an area that has text boxes.  But they should be able to see the text.
    Thanks.
    Stan.

    Figures I figure out how to get MORE back after I post, but still no properties.  This is what I get now.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Question about Creating Forms in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I designed an invoice form to send to my clients that allows me to easily fill out form data and automatically email to my client. Everything works great, but when I send it, the form is still active and I want the fields to be closed for alteration. How can I make this happen?
    many thanks!

    What I would do is flatten the form, which converts the form fields to regular page contents so that they are no longer interactive. There are a number of ways to do this, including JavaScript, PDF Optimizer (Discard Objects > Flatten form fields), and Preflight (Flatten all form fields fixup).
    Edit: I did not see the previous responses when I posted this, due toforum wierdness, so sorry for the duplication.

  • Editing Text in Acrobat Pro 9.

    I have been trying to edit text in Acrobat Pro 9 using the touchup tool. Nothing happens when I try to type text or replace existing text. I have read that the system font must match the text in the PDF in order to change the text. According to the properties the text is curier a standard Windows font. Any suggestion?

  • Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

    Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
    I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now.  I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf.  At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
    This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
    I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
    So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
    Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software?  If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
    Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
    Any experience with this?  Should I leave well enough alone?  Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
    Thanks
    Steve

    The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
    I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
    If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
    Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

  • Need for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 64-bit Add-on

    Can anyone tell me if this 34 KB add-on is necessary for Acrobat Pro Extended version 9.5.2? Can find no infomation on Adobe's website about it. It was installed with original software on 8/2011.

    All I can tell you is it's title in the "Programs and Features" tool of Windows 7. To whit: "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 64-bit Add-On."  It has an installation date of 8-30-2011 and is only 34KB in size, according to Windows. It is listed below the Main Acrobat 9 Pro program, which doesn't give it's size, but does give the current version of 9.5.2, which is the latest for Acrobat 9 Pro as far as I know.
          The one thing I want to establish is whether this add-on is necessary for the current version of Acrobat 9 Pro to function or not. I can find no guidance on Acrobat's website; at least a search reveals nothing anyway. And it is not referenced in their update site at all. If worse comes to worse, I will call them for guidance because our security types are listing it as a problem, and I am wondering if they are confusing this add-on with the main program.
    Hope this helps with your knowledge, and thanks for replying.

  • Need install iso for acrobat 9 pro extended

    We have our key, but have lost our disc.  Anyone have the ISO for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?  All that is listed on the website is the upgrade.  We need the full version installer.
    Thanks.

    Some of the older products used to be at ProDesignTools: Adobe® Developments in Focus, but apparently that has ended. If you know of someone local who has the product, you could probably just make a copy of the CD and use that. You will still need your S/N for the install. If you are installing on Win 8, then good luck if you can get a copy of the CD. AA 8 apparently does not work on Win 8 and I don't remember any comments about AA 9 on Win 8 either.

  • Cannot export text using Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hello all,
    I have a .pdf file that I want to export as text using Acrobat 9 Pro.
    File / Export menu appears to offer this,  as does the help.   But mousing over the arrow to the right of the Export / Text menu
    brings up no options.  I can export as .ps if I want to,  but not text,  or html.
    Is this an installation option (I checked,  and I didn't see any option for this)?
    Or does the program refuse to export files with certain attributes?
    Or is my installation likely to be broken in some way?
    Best Regards,
    Adrian Stephens

    You can typically use the copy&paste or use Save As. I am not exactly sure what you mean by export other than one of these two options as suggested in the complete help (I am on AA8 here). It may be that there is no text to export. A lot of the older IEEE pubs are simply scans with no text. You would have to OCR the paper to get the text to export in such a case. If you posted a sample file, maybe we could be of more help.

  • All of my documents are black with green text in acrobat X pro, how do I correct this?

    all of my documents are black with green text in acrobat X pro, how do I correct this?

    Hi there Doug,
    It sounds like you've enabled the High-Contrast Color option under Edit > Preferences > Accessibility (Win) or Acrobat > Preferences > Accessibility (Mac). Uncheck the 'Replace Document Colors' checkbox, then hit 'OK' to turn this off.
