Randomly Misplaced Advanced Editing Marks in Acrobat Pro 7?

After I generate a PDF using WebWorks ePublisher 2010.2, advanced editing marks are randomly misplaced in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. The first highlighting mark, for example, works without problems. The next time I attempt to highlight text, the highlighting appears at the end of the page (rather than the text I am trying to select). When I attempt to make text edits (cross out/replace), the edits do not appear in the PDF.
I am able to successfully print to PDF directly through FrameMaker without this issue occuring, which leads me to believe it is an issue with ePublisher, but I'm not confident. Any ideas?

Thank you but if I put it back into LiveCycle everything that has been inputted by the recipient is lost. Do you know if there is a setting in LiveCycle that allows hyperlinks to be entered in to the text area by the recipient of the form?

How do i turn on advanced editing in adobe acrobat pro 9

my icons are dimmed out

Thank you. These are documents I have created my self, either by scanning in or saving as pdfs. I checked on of the documents and it says No Security. And Allowed is listed for all the Document Restrictions Summary choices.
Some background. I first purchased Adobe Acrobat 5 which I used for years. For reasons unknown to me I then purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. It has never allowed me to do anything with the text so I've always ended up with the 5 and only used the 9 to read pdfs sent to me that were newer versions and would not open in 5.
I have just purchased a new computer, Windows 7 OS and now my 5 will no longer work and I am stuck with 9. I have searched the Adobe website to find out how, if one owns the software - paid cold hard (and a goodly amount) cash - one turns on the editing function and have failed miserable. I did try support, but they pretty much hang up if you say the word "9". A couple of techs did try to steer me in some direction which ended up being this forum so....long story short, when one purchases the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 software, where does one go to turn on the advanced editing capabilities so that the icons are not dimmed out.
Many thanks!!!!!

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't edit PDF in Acrobat Pro 9

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed on two workstations. On one workstation we cannot edit a particular PDF. It gives an error first about missings a system font and won't allow edits. On the other workstations, we get the same error but CAN edit by going to Tools -> Advanced Editing -> Touch Up Text Tool. Both workstations are Windows 7. Is this a permissions issue? Thanks for any guidance.

If you want to edit text in a font that your system does not have, you will need to install the font in order to edit the text. Acrobat should tell you the name of the font that you are missing.
That should solve your problem, let me know if it doesn't.

Editing text in Acrobat Pro doc using Reader

I've created documents in Acrobat 8 Pro for a client who needs to be able to add a few lines of text in Reader, then re-save and email the PDFs. Each time they try, though, they get the message telling them that they can't save the PDF and should print it out and fill it in.
Is there any way round this, other than my client buying Acrobat Pro?

I'm not talking about "major" edits either. If you have the original document, you always want to edit it first. It's just silliness to do anything else. Editing the PDF is asking for problems in many different forms.
That's the ideal but what if you do not have an original. Suppose the pdf was sent to you to correct.
I've been there. Also if a PDF is not been setup for Reader User Rights, by an individual, if you have a Pdf that has small defect, there is a tendency to to use touch up text. I've done that myself.
But if I find more than one or two items , I do as you. I just go back to riginal if I have it, and create a new one.
The above was to caution that if you hvae minor defects , you've either got to create a new version or create a copy with usage rights disabled, then work on that. You methos is the best.

How to save an edited PDF in Acrobat Pro without any compression

Hi,
I just edited an existing PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 - actually I inserted some high resolution images in TIFF via the Touchup tool.
What do I have to do to save it without any compression of the TIFFs - I tried a lot, but the outcome is always compressed, showing artifacts.
Thanks

First, editing PDFs is really only for minor fixups. There is generally no word wrap or such when doing such editing and often then seem to go downhill fast. To edit text, you have to have the font available. If the file was scanned and the OCR applied was searchable text, the only option to edit what is displayed is with a graphics editor, typically PhotoShop. PhotoShop allows Acrobat to have edited graphics and then be reinserted in the file (I don't do it, so can't give details). ClearScan replaces what is seen on screen in the graphic with the text. In that case, you see all of the text and the corresponding errors (often many). You may want to load a graphic (bitmap) with text showing or use a scan and try the various versions of OCR to see what I am talking about. That may help you see the options. Searchable PDFs is more useful if an original is critical, such as in the legal profession.

Advanced Index Search Crashes Acrobat Pro and Reader

I have a problem of which I've not been able to find a similar past experience. Acrobat Pro 9.5 and Reader X both crash on a Windows 7 PC whenever I initiate a search using our Adobe-created index files. These index files work for every other computer on our Network and all relevant users have the same permissions to access the indexes. I've trashed the preferences folder and even uninstalled and reinstalled both programs. The functions are not relegated to a particular user on the machine as the problem is the same across the board, so I've narrowed the problem down to being on the PC itself. I've not seen this as a known issue anywhere nor seen people write about this as a past issue. Any and all help appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Bump. Y'know, for kids.

Edit Form in Acrobat Pro 9.4.2

I have a form I created in an earlier version of Acrobat about 12 months ago. I've now been called upon to edit this same form and, surprise surprise, I can no longer edit it.
There are no security settings in place in the file.
Where before I had the option to edit or add fields via the Form menu, this doesn't seem to be available anymore. There's this nifty (note the sarcasm) little Form Wizard which doesn't like this file at all.
From what I'm reading, I'm not seeing any way that I can fix this, short of redesigning the form and creating everything from scratch and hope it works, using some Adobe online form thingy or switching to some form designer thing that comes with the PC version of Acrobat.
Any suggestions?
I love Adobe's stuff as a general rule but I'm not loving this. I'm also not loving the whole upgrade thing - can't upgrade Acrobat in CS5 because it isn't a stand alone product. But you're welcome to buy a whole new copy of it! Wtf? And while I'm ranting, what the hell is up with the difference in upgrade price between Australia and the US? The AU dollar is almost at parity and has been for ages and yet if I was stupid enough to upgrade to Pro X it would cost me over a $100 more to buy it in Australia, even if it's a digital download. This sucks so bad and I hate that we get screwed over down here with stuff like this. How can it cost more for the same product with no actual physical product supplied?
And if I have to upgrade to get my form sorted then I think I'm gonna start looking back at Quark and any other alternative. All the things that we hated about Quark is exactly what Adobe has turned into.

Yeah, I know, but what can you do? Can only try and describe as fully as possible what the problem is and hope for the best!

Editing Text in Acrobat Pro DC

I've followed all the instructions for editing text but when I go to select a text box the entire area is selected and the only choice is to move objects on the page (flip, left/right, etc). I'm unable to click on the blue box to select that specific text box I need to adjust. There is no option for me to select Tools to follow the other help instructions "If a bounding box doesn’t appear, choose Tools > Recognize Text > In This File."
I'm trying to work on a PDF that someone else created (who is on vacation, lucky) and of course the client needs it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I don't have Acrobat DC here right now, so I can't give you step-by-step instructions for text recognition.

How does one create a form with prefilled editable text in Acrobat Pro, such as for fliers or business cards that can be edited and saved by the end user in Reader?

Working on a Mac. Have seen examples so know it's possible.

When I created a new template like you told me, I wasn't given the option to rename the fields. See screenshot below. I'm just given the option to add a new template. Changing it refers to changing the template to a different page.
If you can show me how to have the fields renamed automatically or use the rename parameter, I think that should fix it.
Under Tools>JavaScript>Document JavaScripts, I've added a Script named "PackagingArtwork".
// Here is the code
function PackagingArtwork()
{this.createTemplate({cName: "PackagingArtwork", nPage: 5});
// Here the code that spawns the template
var PackagingArtworkArray = this.templates;
          var PackagingArtwork = PackagingArtworkArray[0];
          PackagingArtwork.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);
This is what the JS debugger said.
Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 10.0
Acrobat SOAP 10.0
var t1 = createTemplate("t1", 0);
var oXO = t1.spawn({nPage: numPages, bOverlay: false});
while (numPages < 50) {
    t1.spawn({nPage: numPages, bOverlay: false, oXObject: oXO});

Selecting just text fields throughout the entire document when editing forms in Acrobat Pro XI

I edit PDF's all day and it is seriously time consuming to edit the properties of text fields when you can only select a few at a time due to other elements (checkboxes, radio buttons etc.) prohibiting you from simply "Selecting All" elements and editing them all at once. I do not want to change the Appearance properties of all elements, just all of one type throughout the document. Is there a way to do this?
Long story short I would like to just edit all text fields at once, then all checkboxes at once etc.
Thanks for you time!
Sean

In the form edit mode, one can order the display of the fields by "name" or "tab order".
If I sort the fields by name order and then use the control key and left mouse button, I can select various field names and the right mouse click brings up the context menu and I can then select the "Properties" option and I now have the 5 tabs for the common properties for the selected fields. I believe using the control key and the left mouse button is the usual method for selecting specific items in a window listing.

Why can't is see captial letters in PDFs edited using Adobe Acrobat Pro

I'm having difficulty seeing capital letters in PDF copies edited

Hi Rebecca Thompson,
Do you mean capital letters are missing from your PDF?
Are you facing this issue with a particular pdf or with all the pdf files?
Could you provide screenshot of the file in which you are facing this issue?

AdobeForms Central - Editing AdobeForms Central PDFs in Acrobat Pro XI, Electronic Signatures

I have an adobe forms central account, adobe acrobat pro installed on my mac. And I want to create an adobe forms central PDF form that I can edit in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and also create an electronic signature. How should I go about this?

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.
