Text image back to Editable text

I need to convert "text image" to "editable text" in illustrator. I can't found any option for this in illustrator.
But in acrobat using the OCR option i changed the text image back to editable text. Is it possible to convert "text image" to "editable text" through programatically using Illustrator SDK. I need help for this. Kindly advice me.
Any script or plugin available for that.
Thanks in advance,

If you are looking for scripting advice, you are more likely to get a response on the scripting forum.
I would suggest looking at the Illustrator scripting guide and sample (both should be in the "Scripting" folder located in your Illustrator folder).

After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

Even simpler than that.
Clicking once in a text box selects it.
Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

Convert an outlined text back to editable text

Hai
Enything possible to convert an outlined text back to editable text in Adobe InDesign?
Thanks
Ashok

It might be more than one step. You need to:
Change the vectors back to live type
Style the live type with the correct font, size, leading, etc.
If you're looking for something that does all that in one step, I don't know of it. There are OCR (Optical Character Recognition) programs available. Adobe Acrobat (the full version, but I don't know about Adobe Reader) is one option. Keep in mind that there may be some work to do after the vectors have been changed to type. In the screenshot from InDesign below:
…the black text is placeholder text that I made for this example, I changed the text to outlines and exported as PDF. I then opened the PDF in Acrobat and went to Document>OCR Text Recognition>Recognize Text Using OCR. After the vectors were changed to text, I selected and copied the text, went back to InDesign, made a new text frame below, pasted the text and colored it red (for contrast). You will see that it did a pretty good job of changing the text, but it added paragraph returns at every line break. And if you look at this closeup of part of both texts close to each other:
You can see that the text isn't exactly the same. I think this is may be due to InDesign automatically selecting kerning pairs as you type, which weren't selected in the OCR process. I'm just saying that OCR isn't foolproof.
And after you get your text, you will likely have to style it yourself. If there are programs that will do better, I imagine someone will come along and suggest some.

Why can't I use backspace button or go back and edit typed text?

I recently upgraded my OS to 10.6.8 on my mac mini, allowing me to update my Firefox. Ever since then, when typing any text, such as this one, or in an email, or a comment post on a blog, I am unable to use the backspace button, go back and edit any text, and at times no key on my keyboard works at all. Intensely frustrating and I have no idea what is going on. Please let me know what settings to change so that I can go back correct spelling, make edits, backspace, all the normal usual things that a person does when typing text. Thank you.

As a temporary band-aide, can you mark the part you want to edit and type
over it? Try doing these things;
 Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"''''' 
and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"''''' 
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
Hold down the '''''Shift''''' key (On '''Mac''' the '''''Options''''' key) while starting Firefox to start in Safe Mode

I've edited an image on Lightroom and gone back and edited again. Is there anyway to get back to that original edit of the image?

In the History Panel (on the left) of the Develop Module, click on any previous edit to see what the photo looked like at that step.
If you are going to regularly want to see two versions of edits on a single photo, consider using either virtual copies or snapshots.

When playing a slide show there are many nonvisible photos. They appear as "image cannot be edited. The original is offline." Where is it and how can I get it back into my photo library?

What version of iPhoto?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Unshrink or revert image back to original size after adding headers.

I add headers to PDF files and it shrinks the document so that the header doesnt overwrite them.
When I remove the headers, is it possible to unshrink or revert the image back to the original size?

Do you know what size it was when placed?
The only way I can find to be able to reset a frame to the size it was when it was created is to set the preference for "When Scaling:" to "Adjust Scaling Percentage" and then resetting to 100% will take you back to the correct size, but not necessarily the original position as this is just another transformation, not a reversion to anything. The BIG downside to this setting, in my opinion, is that if you scale a text frame, the listed font size won't change, nor will stroke weights be listed correctly on scaled objects, which can lead to a lot of head scratching.

Image layered based editing in javaFX

Hi all,
i need your advice about if the functionality of image layered based editing is possible like the photoshop one? as for example, am i eligible to add modify a text above the image dynamically at the run time?
your reply and support will be highly appreciated,
Thanks a lot

Just one comment regarding the text export from Photoshop ... It is actually possible to export text layers also into Text nodes in FXD rather than just bitmaps. You have to uncheck the export option "Rasterize Texts" in the export dialog (maybe also check the option "Embedd Fonts" in case you are not using system fonts) and you should get something like this in FXD content:
               Group {
                    content: [
                         Text {
                              x : 210.00
                              y : 159.00
                              fill : Color.rgb(0x7f, 0x7b, 0x1a)
                              stroke : null
                              textOrigin : TextOrigin.BASELINE
                              font: Font.fontFromURL( "MyriadPro-Regular.ttf", 36.00)
                              content : "This is simple text\n12\n34\n"
               },However it works correctly only for text layers using single font style. In case you combine two different styles within one text layer (e.g. changed size, color, etc) than whole text will be displayed using the first style only. This is caused by implementation reason - it is difficult to obtain bounds of styled text fragments in the Photoshop runtime.

How can I work on same image back and forth from LR 5 to PS CC without constantly creating copies?

I make basic corrections in LR then "edit copy with changes" in PS. Once I save it back to LR it shows as a second file marked Edit. How can I go back to PS with that file to work on it again? I don't want a bunch of numbered copies, I want one final copy with as many changes as needed.

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I process all of my film scan images in PS initially for crop, dust removal, content aware fill and other "destructive" pixel editing. I then import the files into LR and do most of the tone and color correction with LR. Many times I need to edit the image back in PS to remove more dust spots with the healing tool or content aware fill, etc. To do this I use Edit in PS and choose 'Edit Original.' Of course I don't see the toning and color adjustments made in LR, but for these types of changes it really doesn't matter. After the PS changes are made the file is saved from inside PS and appears inside LR with the new PS changes applied AND the LR adjustments applied.
You can use the same processing workflow with ACR, PS, and Bridge, but then you lose all of the other features available inside LR.

Hey guys, I'm having trouble matching the colour of the image back ground (white) with the pre-set colour selection. is there a tool that can help me? thanks

Your description of the problem is not quite clear so I made certain assumptions. I hope I am rigtht. I believe you have a color patch such as this:
that you would like to place in an image area that has modeling in its white background. You do not want to lay in a flat color but rather to add a color and not lose the modeling or other background tone. The problem is, after making the selection, if you use Edit > Fill and set the Blending mode to Color, the white background remains white. The only colored background area may be an object's shadow or some similar area that is not pure white. (Image 2) It is an unsatisfactory result.
If that is an accurate description of the problem, consider this:
Image 1: The original image
Image 2: Edit > Fill with the Blending mode set to Color. White remains white
Image 3: Mode changed to Lab Color. Edit > Fill with the Blending Mode set to Color. Then return to RGB.
(I would not normally use this green as a replacement color but since it is a Tiffany clock, I chose a light version of Tiffany's trademark color.)

Images disappear while editing

I've been experiencing disappearing images in Aperture while editing. Images just turn to white, black or grey while editing and nothing can be done short of a restart to recover them. Sometimes resizing the window or selecting a different tool can bring the image back temporarily - this is very frustrating.
For reference I'm using Aperture on a G5 dual 2ghz with 2.5gb ram. Images have been captured with Canon 5D and 20D cameras in raw format.
Anybody else experience similar problems?
Thanks in advance.

I'm suddenly experiencing the same issue. After importing RAW images successfully from my Canon 5D, if I try to make any adjustments at all, the new "gray box" for the new version appears, but nothing ever appears in it and my adjustment tools all become grayed out and cannot be used.
Unlike some of the other posters however, restarting Aperture has not corrected the problem. After three days of trying, I am unable to use Aperture to modify any images.
In fact, once this happens, even unmodified RAW images will not finish loading in the viewer window. Even switching projects will not fix the issue. If anyone figures out a work around, I would be appreciative. Until then I'm back once again to Bridge and Photoshop for all my photo editing.

Saving images back to LR5 from PSCC

I have noticed that when saving images back into LR5 after editing them in PSCC that the images are darker and more contrasty than they were in PSCC. This is when I either merge to 32 bit HDR and save it back into LR for further editing or merge to 32 bit HDR, edit in ACR and then save back into LR5. It seems that there is something missing in the XMP data information between the two programs or I am missing a setting somewhere. Thanks

What Caused "Image Cannot Be Edited"?

I have 13,000 photos in iPhoto, which I began importing eight years ago (scanning old photos, importing digital photos). I had no problems with my Power Mac G5 and its OS, and the earlier versions of iPhoto. Then I got an iMac, shifted the photos from the G5, and no problems. I continued to introduce into the iMac Apple's new OS and new versions of iPhoto, and no apparent problem. In fact I can document the following with my Mac:
3/11 upgraded to IPhoto '11 (current version 9.4.2)
3/11 upgraded the OS to 10.6.3 Snow Leopard
7/11 upgraded the OS to Lion (current version 10.7.5)
I thought I was doing the right thing by upgrading soon as new OS and new iPhoto came out. Now I'm not so sure.
The past year I have not done any editing of my older photos. I just went to edit some older photos and as I clicked on the photo, then edit, on the right side I get the message, IMAGE CANNOT BE EDITED - This photo was previously edited with another application of with an early version of iPhoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it.
This message applies to my first 10,000 photos. I have spent hundreds of hours editing these photos. The 3,000 photos from July 2009 are OK and can be edited.
So, must I duplicate each of these first 10,000 photos, each in their respective albums, to continue editing them? This will take hundreds of hours more. How in the world can Apple have such a poor transition between one OS and another, or between one IPhoto and another? Has anyone experienced this situation before? Is there a solution to my problem, or am I stuck with duplicating 10,000 photos (and deleting 10,000 photos), album by album, and then reediting them?
FYI, I have a a Mac Mini with iPhoto version 9.2.3 and OS X 10.6.8. It has about 11,000 of these photos on it (I haven't loaded the last 2,000 photos onto it) and it does not demonstrate any of these editing problems.
Your observations and recommendations are recommended.

Hi Larry
Thanks for setting me right on how this forum works. Having now understood why the 'duplicate to edit' situation arises (thank you) I would offer some related advice:
Some photos that 'need duplicating in order to edit' may appear incorrectly rotated in iphoto slide shows.
I came across this problem when I was showing an old iphoto slideshow to friends but some of the slides showed up turned 90 degrees.
In the album and slideshow preview they were correctly orientated. I tried putting them into a new slideshow but they again came out rotated 90 degrees when the slideshow was run.
It turned out that all the ones that had this problem were ones that could not be edited without creating a duplicate first - but simply putting the duplicate into a slideshow resuted in exactly the same problem. I tried rotating the duplicate and then rotating it back to its original position but this did not solve it either.
It seems that in order to get such photos to display the right way up in an iphoto slideshow you need to make an actual edit to the duplicated photo - eg crop it slightly or straighten it a fraction. Or rotate it and force a save, then go back, rotate it back again, and then it will show up fine in the slide show.
You can then rebuild the slideshow using the edited duplicates.

In FCE, how do i retrieve lost video images for my edit?

In FCE, a project that i have worked on has lost some of the video images from an original file imported from iMovie. The source footage still remains in iMovie. How do i get the lost images back, without having to re-edit the whole thing?
Also, please, what is the short cut to "highlight all" or select all" in FCE?
Thanks for your help!

Import the source footage from the iMovie events folder and add it in.
Command-A. Pretty much always in every Mac application.
