Text callout drawing markup

I am currently in adobe X. I am using the drawing markup text callout. I have in my properties for that apperance no border and color red. It makes a nice red text with an arrow but no border which is what I want. Then if I go to something else and then come back my setting is gone, help

Its these little things that make me want to try out another PDF editor every day... Thanks for your response, glad to know at least I'm not the only one, sadly I don't think there is any fix yet.

  • Cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box

    I cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box after saving and closing the pdf file and then reopening it.  I go to add additional text in the Text Box, and nothing happens.
    Hope you can lend me a hand,

    Adobe X Pro 10.1.4

    In the previous print screen, the layer icon has a paintbrush in it. In the new menu page I cut and pasted the text is still 'text' layer. I am not able to format it other than change font color. I want to make it two columns of text like the original pdf, and change the font.

  • How can I add a Drawing Markup/Annotation to my stamp while it's being stamped?

    I have created Dynamic Stamp and works perfect and its located in my user profile:
    C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Stamps\symbols.php
    And this works just fine...
    Now I want to add a line to the stamp.
    I want the user to introduce the length of the line using a response box (app.response)
    For some reason when I try to add the line using:
    var new_line = this.addAnnot({
      type:"Line",
      page:6,
      points:[[36,373],[613,373]],
      width:2, 
      style:"S ",
      strokeColor:color.black,
      arrowEnd:"None",
      arrowBegin:"None"
    After this, the variable "new_line" is NULL, can somebody help me here?
    So I cant add the line using JavaScript
    Ironically when I try to create a field (text box) using JavaScript it works perfectly ....
    var oField=this.addField({
    cName: "info",
    cFieldType: "text",
    nPageNum: 6,
    oCoords: [ 20, 20, 1, 1 ]
    oField.value = "Hello World !!!";
    I am able to insert the line manually when I open the stamp file in Acrobat and add the line under Comment->Drawing Markups->Draw Line. However I want the length of the line to be inserted by the user when the user applies the stamp... Can anybody help me here?

    I added 4 annotations to the stamps (2 Lines, 1 Circle and 1 text box)
    Then I tried to get the Annotation properties and still no good luck.
    The variable is NULL
    I used this script:
    var aAnnots = this.getAnnots(6);
    app.alert("There are: " + aAnnots.length + " annots");
    Note: The scrip is in the "calculate" section of one of the field text of the stamp (Custom Calculation script)
    Do you want me to send the stamp?

  • How to minimize the file size of a file with drawing markups

    Scenario:
    I need to turn a sample of a report into a report template, so I am deleting as many objects as I can with the Tools>Content>Edit Object.  For text that I cannot delete that way, I am covering it up with a white box (Comment>Drawing Markups>square and setting outline = white and fill = white).  On this particular PDF, there are about 20 of these white boxes.  I'm then using Preflight>Flatten annotations and form fields to flatten all of the markups.
    Problem:
    Unfortunately, even after using Preflight and Save As>Reduced Size PDF, the file size is still over 900 kb.  The original file size before I make any changes is less than 150 kb.  I need the final file size to be 200-300 kb.
    Settings:
    Windows 7
    Adobe Acrobat X Pro
    Solutions?
    I may be going about this all wrong, so any advice you have is much appreciated!  The only other thing I can think of to do (since I can't get a blank sample report), is to recreate the report in Word and then PDF it.  I'm hoping there's a better solution.  I tried Photoshop first and the file sizes were in the MBs, so I switched to Acrobat.  Maybe a different program would work even better?

    Basically that is what Bill is telling you. The best method is to:
    create the design of the form in Word.
    Save as a PDF (on a Mac the best method is to go to print menu click pdf and hold mouse or track pad button down, and Chose Adobe PDF) .
    Then open PDF in Acrobat
    Click on Tools
    Click on Forms and create form. Either letting acrobat create the fields and add or take away fields as need.  Or create fields manually.
    This way should you need to make correction you can open the original Word Document, Make chages save as PDF The in open original in PDF. Click on Tools > Pages and choose replace pages and replace desired page(s) as needed. Then readjust fields if needed or add or take fields as needed.

  • Trouble with Drawing Markups in Acrobat Pro XI

    Hello all and thank you for any help that comes out of this.
    I use Acrobat XI for several forms for work.  They are timesheets.  I created these forms from another PDF that was given to me.  Part of the use of these forms involves adding Drawing Markups and editing the Markups later.  The Markups in this case are simple lines.  In Acrobat 9, this was an easy task.  I could easily grab the Markups I had inserted and manipulate them any way I chose.
    Now, in Acrobat XI, once I insert a line, I basically can no longer touch it without doing a very clumsy work-around.  Every once in a great while, I get lucky and am able to get my mouse over that one magic hidden pixel and then I can grab the Markup and do what I need.
    It just seems much, much more difficult working with Drawing Markups in the new version.
    Am I doing something wrong?  Is there an option I don't know about?
    Thank you in advance.
    Dave

    Gilad:
    The only choices Acrobat XI gives me are the "Selection tool for text and images" and the hand-shaped "Click to pan around the document" button.
    There is a "Tool Set" option under the View menu, but there is no "Interactive Objects" submenu.
    Please note the image I have included of the toolbar that I am presented with in Acrobat XI. Does the button you are suggesting I use exist anymore?  I haven't seen it since Acobat 9 and I have scanned through menus and see no way to add another Selection Tool to the toolbar. If it does exist, please tell me how to turn it on.
    Thank you!

  • Can not use all the tools in my drawing markups any ideas on getting them to work?

    Can not use all the tools in my drawing markups any ideas on getting them to work?

    Hi tonys60181,
    Could you please let me know what version of Adobe Acrobat are you using.
    What all drawing tools are you unable to access?
    Is this issue specific to one PDF file or all?
    What exactly happens when you try to use any drawing markup?
    Please let me know.

    This regards Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.07 running on Win 7. Copying text in a text callout (to paste into a text callout in another pdf document (3 instances of Adobe open) sometimes (only sometimes) causes the program to crash, losing unsaved work. Windows Task Manager shows only a small percentage of cpu used and plenty of memory available. What is causing this?

  • Cannot type in a text box or text callout box

    I'm using Windows 7, IE 9.0.8112.16421, and Acrobat version 10.1.6. I am working in a priorietary platform for reviewing material and I can use all of the commenting tools and can create a text box and a text callout box, but I cannot type in them. My text box and text callout box work just fine with every other program that I use on my system. But this requires using Acrobat and its tools within their platform and I cannot type in those two boxes in that situation. Their first suggestion was it was an Acrobat problem. We have repaired and reinstalled several times to no avail. They then said to be sure Acrobat Reader was not installed (and it wasn't). I've cleared history. Their online reviewing system requires a specific Java script in a specific place -- we've installed, deleted, reinstalled, etc. and it still doesn't work.
    I've used this platform on another computer and it works fine. I got a new computer in February with a new CS, and the problem is occurring on only this new system. And only when I am using Acrobat in their platform.
    Would anyone have any suggestions what I might try? They said they had one report of a person having the same problem, but they had Reader installed.
    Thanks!

    I don't know how to save a sample file to the forum.  But I know it's actualy being created because I can close and reopen the document and the text box is still there and you can still select the text in the text box, view it and see it.  But as soon as you click outside the text box, the text in the text box disappears again until you click back inside the text box.
    This problem has been discussed ad nauseum with no solution ever having been given.

    I am on Adobe X Pro and whenever I add text using the text edit tool the text disappears when I add text to another place in the document. It is also creating comments for every place I add text. How do I get the text to remain visible in the document and not create a comment?

    Usually, responders claim that one is using Mac Preview or reader or some other program.  THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.  THE DOCUMENTS ARE BEING CREATED AND/OR EDITED IN ADOBE ACROBAT X AND NO OTHER PROGRAM.

  • InDesign export Text Layout Framework Markup

    hi there
    as described in title, i'm having troubles exporting an InDesign comp in a decent way
    my quesitons are:
    1 - It exists a DTD for Text Layout Framework Markup Language ?
    2 - Is there an export module that make me able to do it automatically? because tagging all the elements is a pain, and there is just a little documentation about the markup language
    If not, are there any plans to do it?
    I personally think that an export module will be very helpful and will score another goal on products' integration
    Thanx for your time

    Regarding a DTD see this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/2221283#2221283
    I can't comment on any plans for ID to export TLF markup.  Definitely a good idea.
    Thanks,

  • Can you define a specific size of a Drawing Markup rectangle?

    Hi all,
    I am using Acrobat X and have been asked to find an answer to a 'problem' someone is having.
    If you have a site plan of one's property and they submit it to me for comment (as a pdf file) can I draw a box to a specific size? Say I set the 'scale ratio' to what the drawing scale is, I go to 'comments' and from the 'Drawing Markups' pane I choose 'draw rectangle; square', I then draw a rectangle to represent a shed of a specific size. I can dimension how far the rectangle/shed is to be from the property lines and I can dimension the rectangle/shed but I have to play with stretching it to get it to my desired size based on the scale I set.
    My question; is there anyway, when I am drawing the box, to either specify an x by y size or see the lenghts of their sides once I pick a corner and start to drag the box to the other corner?
    If not, would there be a java script that could accomplish this task?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Paul

    Thanks Sabian, I understand that Acrobat is not a vector drawing application and I have been using all those programs (illustrator, AutoCAD, CorelDRAW etc.) for the past 20+ years. It wouldn't seem too much to ask considering that I can set a scale to my page (in Acrobat) and I can get Acrobat to give me a dimension from point A to point B based on that said scale, so why couldn't I expect to put a rectangle markup based on that same scale?
    As for the right tool? We are a municipality that is trying to make it easier for the public to submit applications online. Those submissions are in the format of a PDF because it is unrealistic to assume the everyone in the public has access to or can afford a program like AutoCAD or illustrator. Likewise it is too COSTLY to have everyone in the city have say 'AutoCAD' or even 'illustrator' to view the application documents to markup and send back.
    I believe  In 1991, Adobe Systems co-founder John Warnock outlined a system called "Camelot"[3] that evolved into PDF (from Wikipedia) and it was a way to have an independent viewing format regardless of what software application created it. I truly believe that Acrobat for what it's initial intent was that it should incorporate some of these features as it only makes sense in an evolutionary sense. Not to be a 'drawing package' but in it's markup/comments palette to expand on them.
    So keep your comments to 'no at this time acrobat does not allow this type of functionality but who knows in the future' and don't treat me as though I don't know anything about anything. In my decades of using these applications I have seen them evolve to include more functions and do more then when the product was originally released.
    I will now go on and recommend that they seriously look at Bluebeam Revu as it is not only cheaper but it has a ton more functionality specifically designed for the needs as listed above working with PDF's (and bitmap images to boot). I was just wanting to cover all bases and give all programs a fair look.
    Thanks again for your intuitive insight.

  • I am no longer able to rotate drawing markups

    I am no longer able to rotate drawing markups - I am using Acrobat X 10.1.4. What happened to this function of drawing markups such as circles, lines, squares?

    Neither of the shapes have fill.
    Wait!  I thought that neither of these had fill, but the one I can manipulate has fill and when I added fill to the "after' shape I could manipulate it as I normally would.  So it appears that I am a moron and was not used to dealing with just the border path, but an acutal filled shape. 
    Sorry for the waste of time and thank you for the help!

  • Pencil mark-ups disappear and Drawing Markups box goes black

    As I use Adobe Reader X, after a few pages of using the Comment--Drawing Markups tools, like the pencil marks, these start going goofy, disappearing an reappearing. Also the Drawing Markups box goes black, the "find" windows starts to disappear too. Seems like something's corrupted. Can anyone help?
    Thanks much.

    Hi there
    I also bought mine from the US, can't believe the sickening price difference. I've kept the powerlead for when I visit the states and want to use on my iPod charger and as Winston said, just used an existing powerlead (figure of eight). They're actually cheaper to buy than an airport-esque US to UK plug adaptor. The unit automatically does the 110/240v thing, so don't worry.

  • Editing Pdfs using the Annotations and Drawing Markups

    I regularly use the Annotations and Drawing markups on Pdfs on Mac to edit, but since updating to Adobe Reader 11 everything has gone haywire. The Pdf freezes constantly. Although I can still edit on screen, none of the Markup shows in the toolbar so I can't use it to review or navigate around the Pdf. I can't delete the Pop-ups or markup by right clicking as usual. The Save button in the top toolbar doesn't work - I have to go to the Drop down menu, which takes longer. It's impossible to close any Pdfs by clicking the red top left button - I have to go to the Drop down menu to close. It's hopeless! Any suggestions?

    I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.9 and Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I wonder now if I have the right version ...

  • Drawing Markups

    Hi.
    I just downloaded Adobe Reader 10.3.1 and I just can't find the drawing markups tools under comments. When I open a page straight from the internet, it shows, but with any of my PDFs, it doesn't. I've tried all the menu options and have spent the last 2h reading FAQ, but just can't seem to figure out what to do to see these. I would greatly appreciate any help.
    Kind regards

    No, the replies you have received are correct.  Only files specially prepared by someone with Acrobat Pro can be marked up in Reader. I think there is a good chance you have Acrobat at the office; it does look a lot like Reader until you look closely.

  • Drawing Markup and Annotations using Reader with Commenting-Enabled PDFs

    I recently purchased Acrobat Standard to produce commentable PDFs for my contributors who use Acrobat Reader. 
    The page linked below says that I can use Acrobat Standard to "Manage shared reviews, collecting everyone's feedback in one PDF and letting reviewers build on one another's comments‡" 
    Adobe Acrobat XI 
    I have used these features in the past with Acrobat Pro, but there wasn't any documentation that hinted at what appear to be limitations.  For example, using Acrobat Standard I can send a PDF for email review, but the only tools that my contributors can use with Reader are the sticky note and highlighter.  In the past, when I used Pro,  the whole suite of markup capabilities including Drawing Markup and annotations like strikethrough were available.
    I have looked everywhere for information about how to enable these other commenting tools, but can't find anything.  Am I missing something or is this some misleading marketing materials that have led me astray.

    You either need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro or the users need to upgrade to
    Reader XI, where all of the commenting tools are available by default.
