Saving Type tool input

Have version 7.0.9 Scanned a form in and was using the typwriter tool to fill it out. Saved it and then went to email it and all the type input is gone or not showing up. Shows up fine when in acrobat. Tried exporting as a jpg and still no text. Was able to export it as an eps and then imported it back as a pdf and the type was there but the file grew 10 times larger. Any ideas? Thanks

I tried the Typewriter tool, it worked just fine and was able to see typed in item after it was saved , in Apple's Preview. I don't have Reader as I can read just as well in Acrobat, and it interferes with Acrobat if I want to work on a PDF. It will either choose to open in Reader or ask whether I want to Use Reader as default application.
Note In the Typewriter Tool item in the Acrobat > Tools menu there is a Setting to turn on Typewriter tool in Reader. Try Turning that Setting on before actually using the tool and see what happens.

Type tool issue: Type in saved document changes font when reopened and clicked on.

I've recently started getting a problem with document which I've saved a type layer to with a particular font. Reopening the document for reuse, I find clicking on the type with the type tool changes it to a different font. I've done a check on this and it was a known issue with CS6 and there is an adobe update to install: Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1 update for Adobe Photoshop CS6 : Trouble is, the install doesn't take and is advising me to seek customer support. Any ideas anyone? Recreating the file and font everytime (which is a work around) is a pain.

I suspect a damaged install.
Let's do an uninstall/reinstall. Be sure your account has admin privileges.
Uninstall CS6, checkmark "Remove Preferences"
Use the CS Cleaners to remove anything that might interfere with a reinstall
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Reinstall CS6 and immediately apply the update.
If you need a fresh CS6 installer, you can get it here.

Crashing when saving using type tool

Hi,
Has anyone else found an answer to why Fireworks CS5 crashes when using the type tool and saving?
I saw this thread but there is still no real resolution:

Hi Steve,
Its CC and it was working perfectly.
I was on OSX Mavericks when I last edited documents.
I've updated the OS to Yosemite a few days ago. Illustrator and Photoshop worked perfectly on Yosemite.
I also installed a few fonts, which worked on Illustrator, if that's of any help.
I've uninstalled all the recent additions and tried using InDesign afterwards, but its still crashing.
I can post the error log I receive.

Photoshop Elements 6: Could not use type tool because the file could not be found

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 well for a while.
Tried to use the Type Tool to overlay text and obtained this error:
Could not use the type tool because the file could not be found
After research, I reset all tools, tried to repair (failed: insert disc one), and then removed/re-installed. Still have the same problem.
Are the system fonts corrupt or is an Adobe .ini file suspect?
Other reports have suggested using a 3rd-party font manager to inspect/disable fonts.
First wanted to post this error here for feedback/recommendations
Any suggestion on how to recover the Type Tool functionality?

Adobe Photoshop Elements Repair Workaround
When trying to repair the well-known: insert disc one, error occurred. Was able to successfully repair the installation by dragging the entire Adobe Photoshop Elements directory from the original CD-ROM onto a hard drive and executing locally. Seems it does not like repairing over the CD-ROM but it works correctly if the install source is on disc...

John,
Yesterday, I decided to completely remove all Adobe products: PSE 6, Premiere 4, Reader, ActiveX plugins & legacy/old uninstalled product directories that Adobe has left turd-lets around including old Acrobat 3/6 directories. Used A/D Software to remove all adobe products and then followed your instructions AND the instructions on Adobe's support web site to manually remove these products.
It boiled down to manually removing the entire Adobe directory in Progam Files, "saving" the entire Adobe directory structure in each users (3) Document and Settings in the Application Data and Local Settings (as instructed by you and Adobe) and rebooting.
I also saved the local All Users "configuration" database/cache that contained the Tag and other information to make sure the system was clean
This included following the manual Regit instructions to remove legacy Adobe registry hives. I deleted all keys for all Adobe product trees that I could locate (following instructions from Adobe).
Reboot
Scheduled a CHCKDSK on all drives and rebooted
Dragged my complete image library to an archive location and deleted them on the C: drive
Did a complete system Defrag
Re-installed Adobe and alas still have the same problem with the Type Tool....
The only thing I did not do was selectively remove the "fonts" because various instructions seemed to indicate many are "required" by the windows or other applications and I was not really sure how to identify which ones were safe to remove w/o affecting the core system.. I'll have to re-read these instructions next.
Microsoft has a "Font Validator" tool, but that only checks 1 font at a time and you have to read the "results". May look for other tools.
Will be able to check the font structure this weekend since it will take some research before I'm comfortable just removing fonts in trial/error mode. I'll need to make a backup image of my computer before I start this (just in case).
Thanks for follow-ups too!

Photoshop CS4 shuts down when I access type tool

Recently, I started having a problem that I wasn't having before. I can import photos from Bridge and edit and run actions, but as soon as I hit the Type tool, photoshop shuts down. When I open it back up, it has reverted back to original format and no settings are saved, actions loaded, etc. This error also occurs when importing previously made .psd files. Help?

The minute I select the Type tool, it shuts down (error reads: Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working).
As far as updates, I am not sure if I am getting them or not. ?
I have not changed any fonts lately.
To give some more history: I am a PC user. I have two solid state hard drives (one for programs and one for data) and also multiple other drives I use. A few months ago, I randomly started having problems in Bridge. It wouldn't load. I think it was an internal permissions error, but we never could figure it out. Trying lots of things (reinstalled it several times), I even upgraded one of my solid state drives to make more space in case that was the problem. Still not working, I downloaded the trial version of CS6 (which I am planning on upgrading to real soon) and as soon as I downloaded that, my CS4 bridge started working. Weird! So both sets worked. Once my CS6 trial expired, I had to go back to using CS4. However, right after that is when this problem started. I have no idea where to even begin to see what is wrong and until I can afford the upgrade, am not sure what to do. I do still have the CS6 software installed (although it is not licensed and won't launch) - should I remove that and see if that is a conflict somehow?

Type Tool Problems. Photoshop CC. on Windows 8

Hi, When I try to use my type tool in photoshop the photograph I am trying to enter text on to goes completely black and I cannot see what I am typing. I am sure the solution must be simple but I cannot find it. I want to watermark my photos and it is turning into a bit of a problem. All the videos I have watched show that entering type should be a simple task but I click on the type tool then click on my photo to commence typing and the photo goes completely black. Any help will be very gratefully appreciated.

That sounds like it may be caused by windows 8 and the display driver installed. Check the display makers web site to make sure you have their latest windows 8 device driver installed.

Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1)

Hi,
My Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1). This is what I have tried so far and the problem still exists.
Check preferences for "Text": "Select text-object by path only" should be off. Checked. It was off. Didn't fix it.
Check the toggle for Show/Hide Edges in the View menu. Cmd(Ctrl)-H. Checked. Edges Showing. Didn't fix it.
Trashed my Prefeerences. Didn't fix it.
Any other suggestions out there?
Thank you!!!

I figured it out! I feel pretty silly, but I will share this in hopes of helping the next person :/ Here goes. Don;t laugh to hard!
It was the leading! The space between the two lines of text was less than half of the point size of the actual text. So it looked like two lines but there was actually 3.
Geeze, I'm embarrassed! Thank you for suggesting that I may not need to recreate the entire document, but start with the text, input manually again (even on a new layer, to match the original), which lead to a fix!
Thank you!!!

Illustrator CS5.5 type not editable, not selectable with type tool

Hi folks, Working on a poster in Illustrator. Have added area type, using the type tool. Now I'd like to increase the size of one line. I can't select or edit any of the type with the type tool. I moved the type to a new layer, saved, closed Illustrator, restarted my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). Looked in preferences, in case there's an issue there. No luck.
By the way, I also don't see handles when in the selection tool any more. Don't know if that's related.

Thanks, Monika! Of course, something simple. It was Show Edges. Show Bounding Box was correctly set.

InDesign CS6 for Windows: Type tool crashes program and am getting missing plug-in msgs.

Just installed InDesign CS6 for Windows. When I open the program, I receive three messages:
(1) Paragraph Panel.APLN needs Justification Panel plugin;
(2) Runin Styles Panell.APLN needs Find and Change Panel plug-in;
(3) Objectstylesui.APLN needs Graphics Panel plug-in.
To top it off, the type tool crashes the program.
I couldn't locate any current forum postings that appeared to help. I have uninstalled and re-installed the software. I have done an update from Adobe.
Advice? This is an educator's addition if that matters.
Thanks,
Julie

Thank for your help Peter. My software is working just fine now.
For others who might encounter these issues, here is how - with Peter Spier's help - I solved my problems. I uninstalled the previous CS6 version and re-booted. I disconnected from the Internet and then disabled my antivirus protection, antispyware and firewall. I had to do this in Norton as well as Windows (Windows Defender and Windows Firewall). Then I re-loaded the entire CS6 and re-booted. I opened InDesign. I no longer got the msgs about plug-ins missing. I then opened a new file and checked the Type tool. It worked fine. I opened an InDesign CS3 file, saved it as a new file in ID CS6. I was able to successfully edit text using the Type Tool.
Thank you to Peter for your help!

When I press the Type tool it won't click on my watermark. Instead, when I click, it creates a new layer which I then have to delete. How do I click on my watermark using the Type tool to add more to the watermark?

Type tool loses focus when toggling between programs. New feature or bug?

In Photoshop versions previous to CC, I could be typing with the type tool, then toggle to another program (or the web) to copy text, and return to Photoshop to paste. This is now gone, as once I toggle away, it saves the state of the text. Rather annoying, as I used to use the capability to paste bits of text.
A change that I believe coincided with this is the fact that text in the type tool is now saved when hitting the escape key. I also used to use this to try out different versions of copy, then hit Esc to undo the changes, whereas now, it saves it regardless.
Both of these seem like bugs to me. Can anyone tell me the story behind these?

I just tried with Photoshop CC 2014.1. Here's what I did:
1. Select the T tool.
2. Type in some text.
3. Alt-Tab to another window (this browser window, specifically).
4. Selected and copied some text with Control-C.
5. Alt-Tab back to Photoshop.
6. Control-V to paste.
The text went in where I had left off typing. I tested this with Photoshop CS6 just now as well and saw no difference. I can't hazard a guess why that wouldn't work for you. I'm on Win 8.1.
You're right, pressing Escape does preserve the typed text now, which is different than in Photoshop CS6. Like you, I'd expect that to abort the text entry.

Type tool problem

Somehow the type tool in CS6 has set itself to vertical. I have to change it to horizontal every time I use it, which takes a lot of time when I'm making a document with dozens of type layers. I've tried right-clicking on the "T" in the tool bar and Reset Tool, but nothing changes. How do I get it back to horizontal type by default?

Mac or PC and what OC version? Have you had any crashes?
Photoshop saves a copy of your preferences when you quit the app. If you have been crashing and the last time your prefs were saved you had them saved with vertical tool this would happen.
Now you also may have a rights problem with your prefs, adn not bebaing abel to save over them, you could then trash this file.

Photoshop program error when type tool is selected

I've been trying to use the type tool in Photoshop and I am able to select the tool, however as soon as I place the cursor on my document, I get a program error. From there, I have to force quit the program to get out of it. I downloaded a security update for my mac yesterday, but since I haven't been using the type tool in photoshop recently, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with this issue or not. Has anyone had the same problem?
would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Let me clarify. I'm running Mac OS X v. 10.4.11, Photoshop CS4. The error message just says "Could not complete your request because of program error". I haven't uploaded any new fonts to my system, however, I have deleted some that were suspect of being corrupt. I cannot change fonts on the type tool because it doesn't give me a chance, the error message pops up instantly. I have reset my tools and deleted my preferences and even reinstalled Photoshop CS4 but nothing has worked.

Help the T 'Type tool' won't work on Photoshop CC trial?

I downloaded Photoshop CC recently and started editing a photo thinking all is going very well until I went to place text. The text tool would not allow me to place text, all I got was a small square that wouldn't show any text. Can you please advise me with what is happening and how to rectify this problem? I am operating Windows 7 bit 64, HP Laptop. Many Thanks!

Hi thanks for trying to help. I tried both options of drawing a square to type in and also just clicking and trying to type. I also changed the type fonts, used Arial, Myriad Pro, Georgia and tried all sizes from 18 pt to even 600 pt. I have googled all relevant trouble-shooting options surrounding the text type tool before coming on here as a last resort. Cheers
