Text Annotation Options

I am making slides with text annotations and I am hoping I am
not limited to the cartoon-like boxes that are in the text options.
I am looking for something alittle more professional, hopefully
with some arrows. Please let me know! :)

Hi Amy
There are a number of different Caption styles available. If
you don't like the list you see, scroll to the bottom and choose
"<Custom>". This should allow you to browse. If you look
where the Captions are, you should find a "More" folder. See if any
of those appeal to you. If none of those appeal to you, you are
free to create your own.
Cheers... Rick

Sticky Note (Text annotation)

Hello,
I decided to add some sticky notes (text annotation) in my pdf document and I was surprised to see that the sticky notes were not printed. I used the "Document and Markups" option for the print and even in the print preview the Sticky Notes were not present.
Regarding the PDF Reference a sticky note is a Markup so it has to be printed.
Is it a bug? A normal behavior?
While I select the "Print notes and pop-ups" option in the Preferences - Commenting then the Sticky is printed (but also all notes and pop-ups

The Preferences > Commenting > Print notes and popups option takes priority when printing sticky notes - if it's deselected, they don't print at all. If it's selected, sticky notes will print in whatever state they're in (collapsed or open) provided they don't have a non-print attribute set against them.
Most people don't want stickies to print, as by their nature they are either collapsed (hence meaningless on paper) or will obscure some other part of the page. Text markups, stamps etc. can be printed without such issues, hence the above preference defaults to off.

Preview Text Annotation

It seems that the flow of adding text annotations to pdf files on preview has changed on Yosemite. Instead of allowing the user to place a text box with the cursor and then begin editing, the behavior has been updated with placing the textbox automatically. I can't seem to find any options to change this behavior to the way that it was back in OSX Mavericks, but does anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks.

I miss how the annotations used to work in the previous version of Preview!
I'm definitely not a fan of how the text box and note defaults to the center of the page. It's also very cumbersome having to continuously go to the toolbar to select text and note to get another text box or note to appear - and then having to move it from the center of the page to where I want it to be. I appreciated the older version where I was able to just click where I wanted the text box or note to appear and also being able to select text or note once and being able to just click with my cursor in multiple parts of the page to annotate. This was a lifesaver taking notes in class - now I'm missing half my notes because I have to constantly move the boxes. Very frustrating!
I used to also be able to just use command + and command - to make my text smaller or bigger in the text box - now it just zooms in and out of the page.
Preview used to be my highly recommended choice for annotating - but it's not as efficient anymore.

Preview text annotation customization

I'm trying to change the following in preview text annotation:
1) text & underline/strikethru colour
2) font super-/sub-script
3) line spacing
I've read posts here suggesting clicking ⌘T to get to font menu which does come up but does NOT show any of above as options.
Within ⌘T menu, the gears drop down button does allow bringing up the colour palatte and there is also radial button choices for super-/sub-scripts, BUT none of those actually changes anything.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Preview its a viewer only, you want to edit the text, use Textedit instead

Text annotation made in iOS not shown outside adobe app.

I opened a PDF attachment in the adobe reader app from an email message on iOS.
I added text annotations, and also a signature annotation then saved and emailed the document. When I received the email on my other account, I opened the attachment to find that the signature was still visible, however the text notes were not.
When I open the original modified document in the adobe app, all of my notes are still there.
ammended:
I have discovered that if I open the annoted document I received in the adobe app, all notes are visible. the text notes appear to be missing if the dicument is opened in any other app or with the native iOS pdf quick view.

lee.evans.81,
I can say that this is something we've considered and I expect we'll implement in a future release. We've debated for some time on this issue because we've been afraid of the confusion it causes people. People who are more technical will immediately grasp "flatten for sharing". They'll also understand why their comments and forms are suddenly no longer editable by recipients. We've been afraid of confusing those who are less technical and we hate the idea of adding yet another option to the product. That said, we realize that by NOT having this feature, we confuse a number of the same users AND we frustrate those people who understand the issue. Please watch for the feature in a future update =)

How to provide text formatting options to user from a text field

Hi,
My requirement is - in the interactive form, a comments field needs to be provided where user should be able to enter text with formatting options like
Headers
indentations
bold/italic
bullet points and numbers
Once user enters the formatted texts in a text field, data needs to be displayed/printed in the same format. Could you help me on how to provide these formatting options to the user for a particular text field?
I understand that once I define the text field with format XHTML (with RTF), user formatting can be captured and displayed in the same way. But I am not sure on how to provide the formatting options for the text field.
Thank you,
Madhu

Hi,
if you select a text field for Rich Text and the press Ctrl + E you'll get a bar for all available text formatting options in Acrobat/Reader.

Text Wrap options not showing in InDesign CS3

Using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4. I've had this problem for a couple of months now and it's getting past the point of annoying. When I open my text wrap options pallete it's blank even when I expand options. I can see the text wrap icons in my header panel, but I no longer have options to change the right/left/top/bottom margins. Just a general "add wrap" and "remove wrap". Is there any way I can get my pallete back? I've tried defaulting my tools, but still it does not show up. I don't know what to do to get it back.

Did you try resetting preferences? While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. If you don't get the message about deleting preferences, you weren't fast enough.

Text formatting options

Hi,
Is there a list somewhere which outlines more text formatting options than what is shown in the FAQ?
In particular I'm wondering how to make text that does not suppress white space other than using the "code" tag.
Also, the insert link option a shown above does not seem to work, or am I just stupid?
Thanks.

Dude wrote:

Instead, I'm using [ url=<insert link here> ] text [ /url ] (without the extra spaces in tags). Normal html link tag might work as well.

Text input options missing

Hi,
After running some updates yesterday, the "show text input options" is no longer available in the options. Neither can I select suretype when writing a message. Would appreciate some help.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Had to re-boot after removing an application and everything back to normal! What bugs me is that my service provider tech never brought up a re-boot but rather wanted me to delete all my data and start all over!

Text Import Options Menu Box

I recently created a deck of cards in Illustrator for a design show. All the elements were created in Illustrator CS4 in different files. I started a new file and put the cards together printed and saved my file as usual. a week later I tried to open up the file and now the TEXT IMPORT OPTIONS box appears and it wont open up my file and all the hard work i put in putting them together. the element files open up as usual. Is my file gone forever? will i have to piece them back? Is ther anyway of opening it up?

3 words: Versioning, versioning and backups. Oh, and did I mention versioning and backups? Yes, the file is most likely gone *poof*, so it wil lhave to be reassembled. And you realyl might consider developing a strategy to keep valuable work files safe.

"Text Import Options" window when opening .ai file, and then blank document

Hi everyone,
My computer went into blue screen crash in the midst of a file save and after restarting, when I tired to reopen the file that I was working it, it just kept showing the "Text Import Options" window, and then blank. I was already working on the file prior, and have saved it successfully many times and opened it without fail. The file is also about 27mb, which leads me to believe (hope) that the content is still there and not entirely gone! ><
Searching google and this forum, I've tried the following on two laptops
1) EnableRecovery and the ctsl+shift+alt method, nothing happened, and no _ file generated
2) Placing the file in Illustrator -- got a blank image
3) Placing the file in InDesign -- InDesign crashes
4) Opening it in acrobat to save as .eps -- unable to open in acrobat and "it is not a valid file" .
Has anyone managed to successfully resolve this problem before? The threads that I have read so far do not seem to have any conclusive solutions or even reasons for this error to have occurred.
Please let me know if there's any way to salvage the file! I will greatly appreciate not having to redo 16hours of work and redesigning about 40+ artboard )~~:
Thank you very much!

Do you have a backup?
Is Time Machine or another backup software running?
How's the file size?

i can confirm that if i copy the good file from the dekstop to the server and try to open it does give me the same import text options box and does not open. I can also confirm that the file sizes are exactly the same size
cheers
How about if you copy o the server, then copy back to a local drive. If that file opens, then it appears there is no way to open files directly off the server. Since that’s a bad idea anyway it’s a mixed blessing, since it makes it impossible to do something you shouldn’t do. As to why… Ask you IT guys. They’s like nothing better than t chase down some obscure problem that only bothers those jerks in the graphics department that are always giving them extra work.
Kidding. Graphics and advertising departments move tons of data compared to the average user’s ounces of data. Of course they put a higher demand on the network.

Text Import Options when Placing a .DXF File

I am trying to place or even open an AutoCad .DXF file in Illustrator and keep getting a window asking for text import options. I have read several forums and files about importing .DXF files in Illustrator and it seems that it shouldn't be that hard. What am I missing?
Thanks,
SionnanC

If you want to, email me one of your sample DXF files, and I will take a look at it. I have a a lot of experience with DXF files.
