Set the Select Tool as default in Acrobat Pro XI

When I open Acrobat Pro XI, the hand tool is the default and I want the select tool to be the default. I have tried to set it in preferences but I cannot get it to work. Please advise, thanks.

Thanks George but I have tried that already and it still opens up with the hand tool. I can't believe that Adobe does not have a default setting for this! Also, the scroll is not the same...you have to click and hold on the scroll bar then pull it up and down. No more just clicking on the scroll bar to move it. Thanks for trying, I appreciate your help and please let me know if you find anything further.

How to set the cursor tool to select tool when opening acrobat XI 11.0

I need the cursor tool to default to Select Tool and NOT Hand Tool when opening Acrobat XI 11.0

Hi mkwillden,
Once you select the 'Select tool' then any subsequent launches of the software should keep the 'Select tool' as default.
If not then you can specify the registry setting here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\Selection
Change the data of aDefaultSelect to Select or Hand as required.

How do I set the hand tool to be the default tool in Acrobat X?

I want the hand tool to be the default tool. The select tool is very annoying. This is a recent change - even last week the default tool was whatever tool I had used last. Now the select tool is always selected which is very frustrating. How do I set the hand tool to be the default tool in Acrobat X? I am running Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 on Windows 7.

I can see that it would be frustrating that you can restart PS with most last used tools, but not the Move tool. But I just checked and that does indeed seem to be the case. The obvious question is why you would like to have the Move tool selected when opening PS, and is there another route to achieve your ultimate objective?

Acrobat: How can I turn off the "smart" feature of the select tool

I am trying to figure out how to turn off the feature of the select tool in Acrobat which auto-completes words of my text selections. This feature is a huge nuisance while trying to select code in my textbooks and has caused me to mis-copy examples many times.

The smartness I am referring to is when I try to select text Acrobat will attempt to automatically select the entire word (I can reverse the whole word selection by selecting back one character then going forward, but when I reach the first character of the next word Acrobat will again try to select the entire word). Worse is when I am trying to select text starting in the middle of a word, Acrobat will automatically select the entire word when I get to the last character.
In another program this option is disabled by a clearing the checkbox "When selecting, automatically select the entire word".
I've found an alternative PDF solution which does not have this nuisance, however, this is not an ideal solution...

How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
How i can set the slected item of a DropDown component from backing beans java code ?
it is binded with a database , so one field determine its display and one other field determine its value , I want to set the selected item of this combobox
In back code i have both value and display values to use them .
can some one give me some help ?
Thanks ,

See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
It says
One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.

Why doesn't my cursor change when I click the selection tool?

When I open any file, the object -- in this case, an image -- is already selected.
I want to enlarge the image so I click the buttons to do that. Normally I would pick 125% or 150%, but the dropdown menu does not open. I tried clicking the up arrow/down arrow buttons. Nothing happened. I tried double-clicking on the numbers to type a percentage; tiny blue horizontal bars appear on either side of the default "100" as if the machine is trying to highlight the number, but can't.
I click the Text tool, get the I-beam, and can click in a text box.
After all that, I click the selection tool. Nothing happens. My cursor is an I-beam. I cannot change it to anything else.
I have installed and uninstalled InDesign several times in an effort to correct this and related problems.
Installed from media -- original disks -- encountered problem -- uninstalled & reinstalled -- problem not solved.
Downloaded installation files from Adobe. Same result.
Uninstalled & reinstalled InDesign only. Still no go.
Reimaged computer back to factory settings, created desktop installation point for CS4, installed CS4 from there. Still no go.
Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility between CS4 and my computer? It is a new (one week old) Acer Travelmate laptop. Got it from TigerDirect, a trustworthy merchant.
My OS is Windows 7, but this shouldn't be a problem; CS4 runs fine with Windows 7 on another computer in my house (which, unfortunately, is occupied most of the time, or I would use that).
Any ideas at all?
Please help. I have a project deadline coming up and really need this particular computer to work.
Thank you thank you thank you.

Bob! BOB!! You did it!!!
I would give you money if I had money.... The next best thing I can think of to offer thanks is give you a great recipe:
1 pizza crust of your choice
olive oil
8 oz of goat cheese (more or less to suit your taste)
1 medium tomato
6 large cloves of fresh garlic
4-6 oz of sliced black olives (more or less to suit your taste)
fresh or dried basil
For best results, all ingredients should be organic or at least of highest quality available
Oven 350
Pre-heat the oven to 350 (important to do this). Dice the tomato to 1/4-inch bits and dice the garlic to 1/8-bits or as near as you can. Slice the black olives if necessary. Brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Blind bake it for 3 minutes or until two rooms smell really nice.
Spread on the goat cheese. Sprinkle on the basil, tomato, olives and garlic as evenly as you can.
Bake the pie for 15 minutes and check it for doneness to your liking (crispy or not).
Serve with salad and a cold white wine for a nice dinner for two, or cut into 2" squares for appetizers at a party.

Setting the Crop Tool Dimensions Automatically in the Middle of a Script

Is there a way to set the crop tool to an 8"x10" dimension in the middle of a script? I have a script where it prompts the user to set the crop tool manually to 8"x10" and then crop the image manually, and continues thereafter, and in another part of the script, a message alerts the user to set the crop dimension to 7"x5". I am not sure if this is possible. I tried to load a preset but it does not work the next time Photoshop is opened.
Waiting for any hint..thanks.

Yes but not so much with the crop tool. Your better off with a selection then image crop http://forums.adobe.com/message/4476999#4476999
Once you set the selection you can also make the action interactive by adding a interactive transform selection step the you turn on its dialog. While recording the action you rotate the transform 180 degree which actuallu doe not change the selection. However it let the user to just hit enter to accept the selection. If you fail to rotate the selection when you record the action. Just hitting enter would cancel the transform selection and the action would stop at the transform selection step. You can also cancel the transform to stop the action because you made a manual error not holding the shift key to maintaim the selection 4:5(8:10) aspect ratio and you moved a cornor or side. Once you cancel the transform selection you can click play the action will start pyaying from the transfor selection and you can retry transforming the 4:5 selection correctly.

Changing the Selection Tool

I am using the free download of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and I cannot get the selection tool to work. Is this locked out on the trial version?

What happens when you activate the selection tool?

When I use the selection tool to move vector points and bend edges, I only see the change in wire frame.

When I use the selection tool to move vector points and bend edges, I only see the change in wire frame. Once I commit by letting go of the mouse button, the object does change. It just previews with a wire frame. I would like to see the preview change on the solid object. Is there a setting somewhere?
I sure hope I am explaining this for people to understand .
Thanks
Ed

Hi Ed,
What do you mean by wire frame??And are you using selection or sub-selection tool since you have mentioned about vector point I doubt if it is sub-selection tool.Could you please attach a video demonstrating the issue where we see the mismatch in the preview and the output, so that we can understand the problem better and try to resolve it.
Thanks,
Sangeeta

How to recover the selection tool?

Acrobat XI. The selection tool (arrow only - not the one that's an arrow with a text-insert cursor next to it) disappeared from the ribbon on my Acrobat. How do I get it back?

How do I go to Tools? I don't see that anywhere. And everything I've tried with the word "Tools" in it doesn't bring up anything that says "Interactive Objects".
Here's what my interface looks like:

The Outlook links do not connect to Firefox even after setting the customize option in Default Programs. Please help.

Thank you, for that. To be sure, I tried your suggestion, and selected "System Proxy" as the choice, for Thunderbird and Firefox. Rebooted, and looked at the outcome.. NO Joy.. :-(
I believe that I shall send the output of the Error Log in my next post. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction after looking at the Error.log.
Thank you...Toad Hall. If you think of something else to try, I am ALL ears.. I shall keep trying..

Unable to set the selected value for a ADF LOV

Hi,
I am developing an application using jdeveloper 10.1.3 and Struts.
I have created a ADF LOV on my JSP Page as given below:
<html:select property="lob" onchange="javascript:selectLOB(this.form)">
<html:optionsCollection label="prompt" value="index" property="lob.displayData"/>
</html:select>
When i submit the form, i am able to get the value of the selected Value in the List.
JUCtrlListBinding listBinding = (JUCtrlListBinding) formBean.get("Lob");
Row r = (Row) listBinding.getSelectedValue();
String SoLob = (String) r.getAttribute("LobLob");
But i am unable to set the selected value back in the list when i return to the form again.
I tried the following:
int x = listBinding.getSelectedIndex();
listBinding.setSelectedIndex(x);
It would be really helpful if some one could let me know what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Subashini

Gyan,
I tried with the code you suggest , its trying to set the value of a field, but my requirement is to change the property for
"Rendered" on the field so that based on search parameters we can hide result table column.
After searching online, I modified the controller code as follows
1.Created a new transient attribute (Testrender) with type "Boolean" and always updateable.
2.changed the "Rendered" property value on the field I want to hide as ${oa.PoSearchVO1.Testrender}.
3. Modified the controller code as follows :
        OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
        OAViewObject testvo = (OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("PoSearchVO1");
        OADBTransaction txn = am.getOADBTransaction();
        if (testvo != null)
          OARow row = (OARow)testvo.first();
            if (a.equalsIgnoreCase("Approved"))
                 row.setAttribute("Testrender", Boolean.FALSE);
            else
                 row.setAttribute("Testrender", Boolean.TRUE);
        } But now when i run the page and populate the search field and click "Go" its hiding the field but throwing the following error and the search results are also bad.
Its using only the value of one search parameter but not the second one .
The search cannot be executed because the table has pending changes that would be lost. I think the vo is getting dirty when I update the transient attribute value. So I used txn.rollback ,then search is working fine but its not hiding the field.
So can you please let me know how to proceed from here ?

In version 5, how do I use the selection tool to move objects?

I can use the selection tool to select objects, but when I try to drag it, nothing happens. My workaround is to use the selection tool to select an object, and then use the transform tool to drag the object into its new position. Any help is greatly appreciated.

is your object locked?

Hi!
I restarted the computer, but the same issue happens again. When I move my mouse over some object or tool, it doesn’t come active at all (only some of the tools works) When I try to change “site properties”, I can’t choose tablet or phone mode or even I can’t select the checkboxes, only thing what I can do is change the numbers (high and width) . After all the main problem is that I can’t select some of the items or functions by mouse, but only by the keyboard.
