Rotation Tool in Acrobat 3D v. Toolkit

Notice the Rotation tool in Toolkit works intuitively as compared to that in Acrobat 3D, which seems to require one analyizes the ortho movements. I'm planning to use for end-users, which renders the rotational tool in Acrobat 3D pretty useless for them (it's like floating in space w/no controls). Wonder why/if Adobe couldn't have put Toolkit's version in Acrobat 3D. Maybe it'll be in version 8.

Geoffrey,
during embedding of the 3D object using Acrobat you can attach a JavaScript to your U3D file. It is on the same dialogue window that opens after drawing the rectangle with the 3D tool.

  • Rotate button in Tools in Acrobat pro 10 is not working?

    Hi All,
    I am a user of Acrobat pro 10  and I have been using the rotate button in tools to rotate objects in any direction (Clockwise, anticlowise and 180 clockwise).
    Just recently, I notice that I can't rotate objects to any direction.
    When I click the rotate tool, it wo'nt rotate at all.
    How can I get this working as I work with lots of documentation that invloves inserting one pdf onto another.
    Any help to restore this tool is greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks!

  • I cannot find a means to disable the rotation feature in Acrobat XI and it is driving me crazy.....it rotates in every which way without provoking it at all.  Such an annoyance.

    does anyone know how to disable the auto rotate feature in Acrobat XI?

    You should have to interact with the Rotate tool in order to get it to work:
    Clicking Rotate:
    Should bring up an interactive dialog box:
    ...if pages are "auto-rotating" then something is seriously wrong. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat Pro XI, making certain that you upgrade to the latest version (11.0.06). If that brings no solution, contact the Adobe Users Community -> http://acrobatusers.com/.
    Odd problem - never experienced anything like it nor heard of others having such problems. You'll get quick answers, I think, if you take your question to the Acrobat community.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Using the rotate tool and hand tool at the same time in CS6

    When using the rotate tool, you used to be able to use the hand tool even when the Rotate dialogue box was up. Is there a way to get that back?
    I make Mandalas (http://www.behance.net/gallery/Mandala/2700497) and work from the center out. This poster is 18"x24" so once I start to get to the outer edge, I'm zoomed into the center at 6400% so I can get my crosshairs as precise as I can, then enter a number (45 degrees, 20 degrees, etc.). Clicking Preview helps, but if you're zoomed in and the object is out of view, you have to guess where it's going. In CS5, you could press down the space bar and use the Hand Tool even while the dialog box was up. Is there a fix for this? (Sorry if this doesn't make sense...it's kind of hard to explain over a forum.)

    CS5 on Windows 7.
    I can use the hand tool while pressing the Space bar while another tool including the Rotate tool is current. But I can not use the Hand tool in anyway if I'm in the process of using the Rotate tool by holding down the mouse button or dragging with it.
    While the Rotate dialog is displayed I can not do anything outside of it in any way.
    I can use the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll the view up or down vertically while using any of the tools including the Rotate tool but not when a tool dialog is open.
    I'm curious if others experience different behavior on a Windows system .

  • Is there an "Edit Object Tool" in Acrobat 11?

    Is there an "Edit Object Tool" in Acrobat 11 that is comparable to the Edit Object Tool in Acrobat 10 and earlier versions?  Has it been discontinued, or split into 2 loosely connected tools, the new Edit Text and Images Tool?
    I love the new Edit Text Tool in Acrobat 11, but the old Edit Object Tool in Acrobat 10 and earlier versions was great when I wanted to resize a block of objects.  The old Edit Object Tool would resize both text and graphic objects, but not everything like form fields, although there are limited workarounds like printing the file to pdf to flatten it and then resizing, but doing so will discard the form fields.
    When using the old Edit Object Tool to resize a group of objects that contain text, it will scale the text in proportion to everything else in the selection.  The new Edit Text and Images Tool in Acrobat 11 does not resize or scale the text.  It does change the size of the text containers, but the text does not resize.
    There are situations where it is valuable to resize a group of objects that contain both text and images, but I can't get the new tool to do it, or I'm not operating the tool correctly.  Is this functionality gone in version 11, or am I doing something wrong or using the wrong tool?
    I initially upgraded both of my laptop workstations from Acrobat 10 to 11, but have now gone back to running Acrobat 10 on one machine and Acrobat 11 on the other so I can realize the great new functionality of the new Acrobat 11 Text Tools without losing the valuable functionality of the Edit Object Tool in earlier versions.
    I posted a 5 star positive review on Amazon at:
    http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GAQNISK3WR4S/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R3GAQNISK3WR4S
    but I might have to drop it to 4 stars if the old functionality has been discarded
    Clarification or guidance would be appreciated.

    Dave, Thank you for the accurate and effective information.  I added the icon to my toolbar.

  • Compare Documents tool in Acrobat Pro 9

    I'm assessing the Compare Documents tool in Acrobat Pro 9 for business use, and have some very specific questions about its functionality:
    When I initially load a pair of PDFs to compare, occasionally Acrobat refuses to accept them as anything but "scanned documents" even though they are fully electronic-sourced PDFs created in, usually, Adobe illustrator.  What are the specific criteria that cause Acrobat Pro to force the "scanned documents" type?  Is it related to the presence of only "flattened"/"outlined" text instead of embedded fonts?  Lack of layers?  Some other graphical feature?  How do the comparison parameters/performance change when the loaded docs are designated as scanned rather than one of the other types?
    Second, when I've done a Compare on two nearly identical documents and then call up the "old and difference images" display - is there any way at all to manipulate this display?  Some of my docs are large - potentially full press-sheet size of around 24" x 40", and when the differences between them are tiny (e.g., a change in only a few Braille dots over the entire graphic) the on-screen rendering of the "difference image" side of the display is relatively tiny and practically useless, although it contains exactly the information I need to see.  Can it be grabbed/stretched/magnified/saved/printed/analyzed some other way besides how it is?  It seems to disappear literally at the first mouse-motion or key-touch, which is incredibly frustrating.  Are there any changes or improvements in this feature in version 10.x over version 9.2.0 (which is the latest version my company has approved)?
    Third, also at the post-compare stage, the feature tags a small printer info block in a corner of the document with "This image was replaced" even when I know the info block has not been changed.  Why could this happen?

    Sounds like you want to do this on a server, but you should know that Adobe Acrobat cannot legally be used on a server.
    For server-based PDF operations you can look at Adobe LiveCycle products or our Adobe PDFLibrary (available in both Java and C++)

  • My rotate tool won't work? (FreeHand MX, Mac OS 10.6.3)

    Hi All,
    I recently loaded FreeHand MX on a Macbook Pro.  It seems to run pretty happily, except I can't get the "rotate" tool to select. I added this tool to the default toolbar (using "toolbar/customize" but when try to I select it, the cursor reverts almost immediately to an arrow or magnifying glass (whatever it was just now). So to rotate objects I've had to activate View/Transform Handles, or use the Transform dialogue box and type in my values. The former solution actually works pretty well but I'd really like for the basic rotate tool to work!
    I read last month in the forum people were having problems with FH and OS 10.6.2; someone said 10.6.3 solved their problem, so I upgraded to 10.6.3 before loading FH MX. But I'm wondering if this is a 10.6.3 compatibility issue, or if there's something I can do to menus, preferences, or restarting, that would make this tool work. I need a solution that doesn't involve reloading the software from my FreeHand disks.
    If you can help solve this, much appreciated! Then I'd just have my usual getting-used-to-MX learning curve (I normally run FreeHand 10 on an old G5 and Mac OS 10.4.11).
    Thanks!
    Ben Pease

    Aha! No wonder the transform panel was always open to type in the values as a workaround.
    You were correct; I had used the wrong icon. I found the other one (not one I would have immediately recognized from FH10 and earlier) and it works fine.
    Thanks again, Judy!

  • Illustrator CC Rotate Tool Problem

    So I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem, but it seems I'm having issues with the accuracy of the rotate tool in Illustrator CC. When I rotate an object 90 degrees (either by entering in the rotate angle value or using the free rotate tool), the anchors no longer line up exactly. Here's a sample image showing what I'm referring to:
    Note the red arrow pointing to the line not being straight. After I release the rotation (holding shift), it still isn't straight. Anyway, this is really starting to bug me. My software is up-to-date and I haven't seen Adobe release anything on this. Has anyone else noticed/encountered this? If so, does anyone know of a fix for it?

    dj,
    It does look rather strange: everything seems to be right, except for the two short not quite horizontal segments.
    As far as I can see it rules out both an Align to Pixel Grid and a Constrain Angle issue.
    With no clue, I have no clue whether the following may help.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Can I change the order or rotate pages in acrobat reader?

    This may be a silly question... I actually own & use Pro, so I don't use Reader. But my grandmother has the reader and wants to know if she can change the order of pages (and rotate pages) in acrobat reader. Or does she need to buy acrobat standard?
    Thanks!

    To the best of my knowledge, she can't with just the free Reader. But she can ask you to do it for her...

  • Scripting shortcut for pencil tool in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    Many of the tools in Acrobat 9 Pro have a keyboard shortcut (P=callout box, U=highlight, Z=marquee zoom...) but not the pencil tool. Anyone scripted a shortcut key or be willing to explain the process of writing a script and assigning it to a keystroke?
    Why would Adobe overlook this tool?
    And yes, I know AutoInk sells a plug-in for $69.

    Acrobat : Advanced menu : Preflight…

  • Text touch-up tool in Acrobat 9 not working

    Does anyone know if this is a glich in CS4 or if I'm doing something wrong. When I click on the text touch up tool in Acrobat 9 (comes with CS4), nothing happens. The arrow doesn't change into a text tool so there's no way to fix text in a PDF.

    Do you have text, or a picture of text? If you take the tool over text it should change to an Ibar. If you hold down the ctrl key and place the cursor, you should get an Ibar waiting for you to enter text at that location. If it is simply a graphic, you will only get an arrow.

  • PSE 8 rotate tool doesn't work

    For some reason, the custom part of the rotate tool in my PSE 8 has stopped working. When I select a custom amount of rotation, the last amount I entered, which was yesterday, is still there. When I try to change the amount, nothing happens. So, currently, I can only rotate to the left or right 90 degrees (those buttons still work) or in .5-degree increments left or right, which was my previous setting. I've rebooted my computer, but that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?

    If you're going to reinstall, make sure you do so in "simplified mode" with anti-virus and other background services disabled:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#Try_Adobes_generic_troub leshooting
    Also, the uninstall leaves behind a lot of detritus, including preference files and hidden state files that tend to get corrupted.  That FAQ explains how to manually remove that stuff.

  • Customizing Quick Tools  in Acrobat X let it crash

    Hello,
    ich freshly installed the Creative Suite Design Premium 5.5 and now test the Programs.
    When I customize the quick tools  in Acrobat X (e.g. adding an item), Acrobat crashes, when I click the OK Button of the customization window (this open a second time after the first OK-click, when clicking OK again, Acrobat X crashes.).
    I use:
    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    Creative Suite Design Premium 5.5
    Also installed and heavily used before is Creative Suite Design Premium 4
    Important hint: I did a test as another user, in my case as root, in whose account I normally never work with the Creativ Suite(s). When logging in as root and starting Acrobat X, the customizing does NOT fail. So I think, the error has to do with some corrupt preference file or similar from prior CS4 use, but I couldn't find the culprit.
    What reason could my problem have?
    Regards, Joachim

    I have to update this for the sake of completeness and to avoid misleading people.
    I thought that the above had sorted it out: however, the problem came back and was then completely intractable - I could no longer do anything with it at all.
    In the end after trying quite a few other solutions I backed up, removed and recreated my user account. This fixed this problem, and a couple of other software issues besides. It was not without pain, and I would advocate great care and/or expert help in doing this, but it is nice to have my programs working properly again.
    Best wishes to all
