  • Can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in iOS 7 Adobe Reader

    I have enjoyed using Adobe Reader to proofread clients' documents, but since the last two iOS 7 updates I can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in PDFs generated by the same source that previously presented no problems.
    The drawing and insert text functions do work.
    I am using an up-to-date iOS 7 iPad 4. The latest Adobe Reader update and a hard reset, as advised elsewhere on the forum, didn't help.
    I have read What's New and looked at the Help manual. I am aware of the new long tap to select one word followed by another tap.
    What am I doing wrong? Adobe Reader used to work so easily. I won't be paid for the time lost while I try to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Krissy,
    I found it extremely frustrating and I don't have a technically sensible answer for you.
    Mine started working again suddenly, but slowly, after many hours of not working, and then improved in speed and responsiveness with use.
    The conventional wisdom is to ensure you have the latest update of Adobe Reader first. There has been more than one since the iOS 7 change.
    The first time it started working again for me was when I was trying in a pdf that I had previously edited in Adobe Reader before the problem began, where I know all the tools used to work (i.e. no problems caused by the file itself) but it is now also working in the new doc that wouldn't work the other day.
    Shradha above gave me the clue that triggered it. I usually go straight to the "Pick a Tool" comment/annotate button in the main/first toolbar at the top, then use the toolbar at the bottom, where the highlight, underline and strikeout tools wouldn't work.
    These functions started working when I tried selecting text directly from the first screen that has the toolbar for "View Modes" (an eye), save/export options, "Pick a Tool", share options and search, without selecting any of these options.
    So, instead of choosing the Pick a Tool button at the top, try just holding down some text for a while, as if to select it (mine wouldn't even select for a long time) and see if the grey tool menu pops up right above that text.
    Initially, I only got the options that were already working to pop up ("Note, Text, Freehand and Signature"). I tried a few different spots in the file and eventually the "Copy/Highlight/Strikeout/Underline/Define" menu popped up. The first time it apppeared was after holding down the text selection action for about 20 seconds, and it didn't appear every time, but then it became quicker and more reliable, and then these functions also started to work from the bottom toolbar that I usually use after choosing Pick a Tool.
    Even today, checking that it still works, it was a bit stuttery to start with and then it came good.
    Perhaps any of the technically-minded members could explain this or perhaps tell us if there is a difference in the action that is supposed to bring up the "Note" etc versus the "Highlight" etc pop-up menus. I'm stumped.
    So try holding down text to select as soon as you open the file, and see if that grey menu will start to appear with the "Highlight" etc options after several attempts. I hope it starts working for you soon.

  • Underlining just the word(s) in selected text string

    How do I get InDesign 2 or 3 to underline just the individual words selected and NOT the spaces?
    We work with legal documents and we have to style them exactly the way the judge has indicated (some underline everything, some just the words). This can become a time consuming endeavor when there are multi-worded court cases cited and sometimes over one hundred cites within one document.
    This was quick and easy under Quark, either from the control palette (click of a button) or the keyboard shortcut (Apple + shift + W). This shortcut closes the document in InDesign (even though the keyboard shortcut for that is supposed to be just Apple + W, both do the same thing). I could reassign the shortcut if I could find the action to link it too (but can't find the action even mentioned in the Help or the forums).
    Have checked under the Underline Options dialog, but there isn't anything there that would solve this problem.
    If there isn't a direct way to do it in InDesign, is there some sort of plug-in available that anyone knows about?
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't believe there's a direct way to do it in Indesign. There are some shortcuts that help.
    In CS4 you can set up a GREP search to find Words, set Change Format to change "basic character format" to include underline, then do a replace all in selection. You can set up keyboard shortcuts for some of this, but a script would be even more convenient.
    Unfortunately, with the normal "Find" function, the "character" wildcard also seems to find spaces, and there isn't a "whole word" wildcard, so this won't work in CS2 or CS3.
    The best I can think of at the moment is: Underline the whole text. Set Find What to find spaces (^w), leave Change To blank but in the Change Format box, turn off underline on Basic Character Formatting. Close the dialog box. Then, placing the cursor at the beginning, press shift-F3 (the standard shortcut for "Replace with Change To text and find next") for each space in the sentence. You can zip through the section fairly quickly.
    This is really a job for scripting -- the script should change all characters in the selection to underline, then change all white space characters in the selection back to non-underline. Scripts can be assigned a keyboard shortcut for ultimate convenience.

  • How do I get the bold, underline, italics editing option for Notes on iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4? Option is not appearing when I select text.

    When I select text, I don't get an arrow with additional options. What is shown in the image are the only options I get. Is there something I need to do in Settings or something in order to be able to bold, underline and italicize text?
    I     

    I only have an iPod (but it does have the latest software) but I achieved bold text as follows:
    1) touch and hold word to embolden;
    2) touch Select;
    3) touch the arrow head at the right;
    4) touch BIU option section of the option bar;
    5) touch the Bold section of the option bar.
    Having selected the text, the selection can be narrowed or widened using the blue dot.  Also, the Bold, Italics and Underline option bar does not disappear once a section has been made, thus bold and underline can be chosen - touch elsewhere on the screen to remove the option bar.  When the selected option bar section background turns grey the software has accepted your request.  Note that a first go at achieving this might not work if the software has not correctly picked up your touch and may not present you with the correct options - it is intuitively trying to help you and sometimes misunderstands your touch.

  • Select text based on format (free form style text)

    As suggested by Apple, I'm trying to create my first ePub using Pages as opposed to inDesign.
    I only have a PDF as a source file and don't want to re-type all the text.
    When I copy the text from the PDF and paste to Pages, the text comes in with the 'free form' style applied no matter what options I select during copy and paste.
    In order to produce an ePub, I need to set styles for the text. This is quite tedious.
    Is there any way to select text based on the way it is formatted when styles are not applied to the text?

    Here is a script which may be useful if your problem surface again.
    --{code}
    --[SCRIPT words_attributes_to_Style]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : words_attributes_to_Style.scpt
    déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
    Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
    Ouvrir un document Pages contenant des mots soulignés
    Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “words_attributes_to_Style”
    Le script appliquera :
    le style "Souligné" aux mots soulignés
    le style "Accentuation" aux mots en gras
    le style "Italic" (si vous l'avez créé) aux mots en italique.
    --=====
    L’aide du Finder explique:
    L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
    Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
    Sous 10.6.x,
    aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
    puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
    --=====
    Save the script as a Script: words_attributes_to_Style.scpt
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    Select a Pages document embedding underlined words
    Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “words_attributes_to_Style”
    The script will apply :
    the named style "Underlined" to the underlined words
    the named style "Emphasis" to bolded words
    the named style "Italic" (assuming that you defined it) to italicized words.
    --=====
    The Finder’s Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
    Under 10.6.x,
    go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
    and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

  • Problem selecting text in PDF created by MS Word for Mac 2011

    I'm viewing PDFs in Adobe Digital Editions 4.0, and when I try to select text, the text that actually gets selected is 1-2 lines BELOW where the cursor (I-bar) is located.  This makes highlighting text extremely difficult.  This only seems to happen with PDFs that were created in MS Word for Mac 2011 and viewed in Adobe Digital Editions.
    If I try opening the very same PDF file in Adobe Reader, the cursor highlights text just fine.  If I open it in Preview, it works fine too.  It just won't work when viewing the PDF in Adobe Digital Editions.
    System:  Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite
    I have not been able to find any info on this issue anywhere, and if anyone knows a fix or workaround, I would greatly appreciate the help.

    Thanks; this last reply came closest to 'solving' the issue. While I selected font sub, it at first had no affect on the document.
    I then went back to prefs and set the compatability dropdown from 'Custom' (where it had defaulted) to 'Word 2004-2007', assuming these docs were created from a recent past Windows.
    I 'Saved As' a Word for Mac " .docm "
    Whoa... the extensions mean something. Your original problem (document shows bold, italic, underline, but tables and other complex formatting are lost) sounds as though the document was being exported as a .RTF, a Rich Text Format file. If you save as a .DOCM, that's a Word Macro Enabled Document. Regular Word 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 docs are .DOCX. Regular Word 97 through 2004 docs are .DOC. You need to save that document as a .DOCX or a .DOC or you're gonna have problems later.
    - and the documents appear normal (though I had to switch one to 'Portrait' as it for some reason wanted to display in landsacpe.
    Normally you'd have to select page orientation.
    So, poor testing on my part. I have no idea which of the above steps fixed it but I'm guessing the 'Save As' to my version of Word.
    If so, it would appear the 'Compatability' feature was not working at least on these two documents.
    Word's compatibility feature is supposed to ensure that a document you produce is compatible with the target version of Word. If you turn the compatibility stuff on then you will be warned if you are using Word 2007 through 2011 and you use a feature that earlier versions of Word do not have. Microsoft shipped a translator which works with Office 2003 and 2004 and which allows Word 2003 or 2004 to read Word 2007, 2008, 2010, or 2011 documents (.DOCX) and to save them as Word 97 through 2004 documents (.DOC) _as long as they don't have any incompatible features_. Word's compatibility features doesn't do much for .RTFs or for .DOCMs.

  • Adobe Acrobat. Change "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, ..." also for highlights made before changing the setting

    I am looking for a solution to apply the "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" setting to highlights that I made before I changed this setting.
    Someone wrote a batch for this which costs 60 dollar and this seems to do what I am looking for: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Retroactively Copy Highlighted Text into Comments
    Where can I find Adobe's solution for this problem?  I do not want to buy external batches for a professional software suit.
    I expect that this is a common problem for people who start to organize a large literature base with many pdfs and must keep track of highlighted text. I was not previously aware of the "Copy selected..."setting, but I need to change it now for all my pdf files to make them compatible with a reference manager that I want to use. New comments are now compatible, but the hundreds(!) of pdfs that I worked through before are not, so copy pasting the highlighted text into comments is not an option.

  • Renaming the Selection Text of LDB PCH

    Hi -
    Can anyone suggest a way to Rename the Standard Selection Screen Variable Name ( Selection Text in a Standard Selection Screen ) of a LDB ( PCH )to a custom one ?
    Eg.  There is a need to change the Object ID ( PCHOBJID - Selection Text ) to " Org. Unit " .
    Thanks,
    Mullai

    Hi,
    You can do that, suppress that field whatever you are getting from the standard LDB and define a selection field in your custom program witht he same name and use your own selection text and check,
    This should work for you.
    Thanks,
    Mahesh.

  • Remove Underline From Link Text

    I use GoLive 5.0 - still works great and suits my capabilities.
    However, I cannot figure out how to remove the underline from the text of a link (as one of my clients has requested) - and have the text continue to function as a link.
    Can anyone suggest how to accomplish this?

    Thanks for the tip.  It took some canoodling, but I got it to work. You can see the results at www.freeblues4u.com
    For your reference, here is the method to eliminate underlines on link text for an entire page in GoLive 5.0:
    In Layout click the CSS icon at the right of the header - on the resultant Style Sheet, right click and select "Add Selector" - Choose "a" - In the CSS Selector Inspector window, select the "F" Tab and select "none" in the Decoration menu - Preview and save the Page.

  • Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

    Hi Guys,
    I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any change?

  • Select text from all_views returns an empty string

    My application allows the user to select between the Data Provider for ODBC and the Data Provider for Oracle. (ODP)
    When using the ODBC provider the statement:
    Select text from all_views where view_name='MYVIEW'
    returns the expected string.
    If I connect via ODP however it returns an empty string.
    (If I use 'Select *' it tells me the text_length is 154 in this specific case - so there is definately text available.)
    I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that the data type is LONG.
    In both cases I retreive the data using rdr.GetChars(), which should work.
    If I use the dbms_metadata.get_ddl function instead, it does return the string (Probably because the return type is not LONG)
    Unfortunately that function only works for Views in the current schema, while the original Select works for any view.
    (And I dont know what version of Oracle this function was added in - I have to support older versions too.)
    Similarly, if I use one of the XML functions to retreive the text as XML it works fine.
    (Again it is probably returned as a VARCHAR2 instead of a LONG.)
    The strange thing is that when I created my own table containing a LONG column I was able to load and retreive data without any problems.
    The problem appears to be specific to this column in all_views.
    Anyone know a solution to this?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Thanks that was it.
    I had not seen those properties since I am working with the 'generic' objects (DbCommand rather than OracleCommand, etc.)
    What is strange is that I was able to retreive data from my own LONG column WITHOUT setting this value to -1.
    (It defaulted to 0 in both cases.)
    The only difference was that when I retreived data from my own column I specified CommandBehaviour.SequentialAccess.
    When I retreived the all_views.text column I did not specify a behaviour at all.
    However the Oracle docs said that SequentialAccess is not supported ... so I guess that is not correct.
    (Maybe it doesn't 'work', but it certainly seems to cause things to work differently)
    Thanks
    Mike

  • Print/Save Selected Text to PDF

  • Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

    HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
    I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
    Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
    Thanks,

    In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
    if (dropdown1 == 1) then
    $.clearItems()
    $.setItems("Year, 2 Year,  3 Year")
    elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
    $.clearItems()

    First tap where you want the selection to start. (It might help to zoom in as far as possible first. You can do this using the volume buttons in the newly-released Firefox 1.1rc1.) Then hold the Shift key while pressing the arrow keys on the N900 keyboard to select text.
    Note: We are aware that this is not a very user-friendly way to select text, and we hope to include a better design in a future version of mobile Firefox.

  • Get selected text from af:inputText

    Hi,
    I am using an <af:inputText> component, within which I would want to know if any text has been selected.
    InputText.getValue() would give me the total value that is there within the inputText component. But if I have selected a part of the text, I would like to get hold of that.
    Is there a way in ADF, to get that selected Text ?
    Thanks,
    Pawan.

    Hi,
    If I am to use javascript, can i directly use the IE/FF (browser-specific) code to get hold of the selected text ?
    The ADF javascript API doesn't seem to have a way to get the selected text.
    Thanks,
    Pawan.
