Text in "Text Box Tool" won't print

I have Adobe 6 Professional and a Brother printer.
You can print text box comments and highlighted text using "Document and comments" option under the "Print what" drop-down in your printer dialogue window.

Thanks...
Flatten sounds like a great way to go. I looked all over, but didn't see a flatten action, can you point me in right direction? I think Photoshop and/or Illustrator have this, but was hoping to just stay in Acrobat, and not get too involved/complicated, if possible.
I stumbled upon a document that said flattening occurs if you save it to [a very old version of Acrobat, like 1.x] Didn't see any place to do this either... on the "Optimize" menu, mine only goes down to Readable by "4.0 and later". Welcome any suggestions.
Re: using "real text" instead of comments, I'd like to, but in some cases the pdf is received, instead of created. So, would like to be able to work with what got (a pdf at the start), then just add the text and embed/flatten/integrate/save or whatever, permanently so to speak, into the document.
Thanks again, and thank you for patience with these questions...

  • HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn won't print text at 72 point size or larger

    My workplace recently purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn all-in-one printer. It works excellently with the exception of the fact that it won't print text that's 72 points or larger in size. I've tried numerous fonts that're pre-installed with Windows, and all of them print properly at point size 71.5 or smaller; anything else simply doesn't show up in prints. The content that's sized at 72 points or higher *does* affect the flow of other printed content on the page, however. It's like the 72-point or larger text is occupying space, but it's completely invisible on the printed page. I've tested this using Microsoft Word 2002 on three separate computers, two of which have Windows 7 installed and one of which has Windows Vista installed. The problem is identical on all three computers. The printer is connected via ethernet cable to our wired network. I've installed the included printer software, and I don't believe that there are any updates to it that weren't installed up to this point. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?

  • Printer won't print text documents

    My HP 4300 series all in one printer prints images but won't print text from word processor documents.  If I print a test page it will only print the image part but none of the text will appear.  Blank pages are printed when I attempt to print text from a word processor however images are printed perfectly from web pages etc.  Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I can have full functionality of my printer again.

  • Acrobat 9.2.0 Update Breaks Text Box Tool, Possibly Introduces a New Security Flaw.

    Anyone have any ideas for this one?
    Once we upgraded to version 9.2.0 (This is a major security release that fixes a Javascript security flaw) our text box tool no longer works the way we want it and crashes the program.
    Try this:
    1. Open any PDF document on a  Windows XP SP3 computer with Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0.
    2. Add the 'Text Box Tool'  to the toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting 'MoreTools' then placing a checkbox next to the 'Text Box Tool'.
    3. Click the 'Text Box Tool' on the toolbar and draw a new textbox anywhere on the PDF document.
    4. Click out of the textbox to cancel typing mode, then single click back on the textbox that you just created.
    5. Right-click the textbox that you created and select 'Properties..."
    6. Under the 'Appearance' tab,
    a. Select Style: No Border
    b. Select Fill Color: No Color
    c. Check the box 'Make Properties Default'
    d. Click OK.
    7. Click the Text Box Tool again, and draw another textbox (Since there is no border you will not see it but you will still be drawing a textbox).
    8. Let go of the mouse when you are done drawing your textbox rectangle and the program will crash at this point.
    Results:
    1. "An internal error occurred." dialog box is displayed.
    2. After clicking ok the following "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" dialog box is displayed:
    "Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
    R6025
    - pure virtual function call
    3. After clicking ok another dialog box is displayed:
    Error signature
    AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 9.2.0.124 ModName: acrobat.dll Offset: 000509dd
    4. The same error has occurred on all five computers that we tested the new version on.
    Expected results: A new textbox is created and you may start typing in text (This was the behavior in version 9.1.3).
    Additional Information
    At times, we need to add information to PDF files (i.e missing dates, etc). We have always used the Text Box Tool to do this with no border, and with no fill color as this is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to add information to PDF files in a precise manner. We want the fill color to be transparent so that we can fit text in between and exactly on lines easier, and so that there is not a solid background box behind the text. We want no border because a border around text that needs to go on a line looks stupid. Up until version 9.2 this procedure worked fine. Now, the program will crash. Perhaps this even adds another security vulnerability if the crash could be exploited. We want to maintain security by patching Adobe to address the JavaScript vulnerability that was addressed in version 9.2.0, however, we are not able to update our users as the new version breaks the fundamental purpose that we use Adobe Acrobat for. We are stuck with the vulnerable version 9.1.3 until this problem is addressed. Disabling JavaScript is not an option either, as we use a Java plug-in on a daily basis.
    Any thoughts would be great, I have attached screenshots of the errors.

    The question still is not answered.
    The problem continues in Acrobat 8.1.7 for Windows, even after updating toAcrobat  8.2.0. ( I can't comment on whether recent updates to Acrobat 9 fix the problem in Acrobat 9.)
    The internal error after text insertion problem occurs even with PDF documents created in Acrobat 8, i.e., not only old versions of PDF files. We have the text box insertion icon in the toolbar, and the properties set to "no color" for the box and "0" width for the text box lines, as other commentators have noted.
    The problem did not exist when Acrobat 8 Pro was installed, it was introduced by one of the updaters.
    The main reason we use Acrobat, rather than much cheaper PDF-creation software, is to annotate PDF files (including inputting data into spaces in standard forms).
    So justify the high price of Acrobat and fix the problem please, Adobe !

  • Text "disappears" when using text box tool

    We are running Adobe Acrobat Standard vers. 7.0.9 inside Thomson Corporation's GoFileRoom vers. 6.0. When using the text box tool to add comments to a pdf, the text within the text box "takes on" the color of the background of the box, making it seem that the text has disappeared. The only way to see the text is to edit the text box and change the font color OR to view the contents of the text box in the Comments section. How do I resolve this? Would appreciate any help.

    I am having the same problem. Both with text boxes and text in the actual document. Do you think it is GoFileRoom related? I never made the connection but I wouldn't be surprised. It seems worse when different versions of Adobe are used. Some have ver 7 and other ver 8 but we are all using GFR.
    Have you had any help?

  • How to change the font size of Text box tool ?

    How to change the font size of Text box tool ?
    I am using Acrobat PDF 6.0
    Tools > Advanced Commenting > Text Box Tool
    I need to know how to change the font size. The default font size is too big.
    let me know
    Thanks

    I do not have AA6 available right now (I can check at home this evening). I am also using AA Pro, not Std. In AA7, there is a text box tool that is a commenting tool. When I started typing, a properties toolbar came up that had the font size and such. I haven't figured out how to get the toolbar after the fact. In AA8, I selected the text box tool and then went to view and selected the properties bar (the font size and all showed then), or use Ctrl-E when editing the text. I have not been able to figure out how to edit the text in a text box after you have created it - think it is a mental block right now. Bill

  • Text Box Tool in Acrobat X?

    In previous versions of Acrobat, I created standard text boxes in my forms.  I was able to open an existing file, click on the Text Box icon, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and then Ctrl+V into a new document.  I can't figure out how to do that in Acrobat X.  Can anyone point me int he right direction?  Thanks!

    I agree with the majority of users that are expressing frustration with the functionality of Acrobat X.  It is really hit and miss. The fact that a user has to copy a text box over and over again without being able to use the standard text box or typewriter functions is in a word 'primitive' and Adobe should be ashamed.  But when you are the only game in town, you don't have to listen to customers.
    What I tried just now was to add text using the Add Text tool ( you know the one that lets you add text easily, but you are left with red text surround by a box as the default ).
    I then highlighted the red text in that box.
    With the text highlighted, go up to the top tool bar just below the    File      Edit     View     Window      Help - Bar.
    Right click on that tool box and select Properties Bar  to launch the Text Box Text Properties.
    Now I can use that Text Properties box for any Text that I added.
    I have no idea yet how to add that Text Box Text Properties button to the tool bar yet.
    I worked for Xerox for 19 years and the original postscript was a brainchild from someone out of PARC and that whole Acrobat insanity is a continuation of great thinking, that most of the time, "just missed the target."   The difference is; Acrobat has a monopoly on it - kind of like AutoCAD.  And Adobe, unlike Xerox, doesn't care about Customer Satisfaction. 

  • Text box tool remains "on" after use

    Adobe Reader 11.0.09 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 (antique)
    QUESTION: How to resolve failure of text-box tool to inactivate after use.  Instead, creates numerous undesired text boxes.
    I am using Adobe Reader 11.0.09 on a Mac with OS 10.6.8 (ancient).  Under the Comment tab, the second set of tools has eleven "Drawing Markups." Typically, when a user has completed the use of one of the markup tools, the tool is no longer highlighted.  In the recent past, the "Text Box" tool remains highlighted after creating a text box with keyed in text.  The next click anywhere on the document creates ANOTHER undesired text box.  Sometimes, when clicking within an existing text box to supplement/edit the text, two or more NEW text boxes are created within the original (i.e., because of a click at the location of desired text editing). Simply as a test, I examined the behavior of each of the eleven markup tools, and found that all but the pencil tool "inactivate" (un-highlight) after the drawing (e.g. a circle/oval or square/rectangle or arrow) is complete.  QUESTION:  Has anyone else observed that one or more "Drawing Markup" icons remain in the "active" status AFTER the mark-up drawing has been completed? If YES, did you find a fix for the annoying problem?

  • Adobe reader shows text but won't print all the text

    I have a form used by many and it works with no problem.  Today one came in you could see all the text, but when printed, only some of the text appeared.
    I checked it on 3 machines, also one that has Acrobat 9  on it, same results.
    On the print setup, under comments and forms, I  have Documents and Markup set,  but if I click on "form field only"  I do get the missing text.
    As said we have gotten many forms from other people, no problems, so it really not for lack of knowing how to print it correctly.
    The only print preview I can see I have is when I go to print it, it appears on the right, and it is missing the text there.
    I have removed all name and address from the form for privacy reason,   I did add my name in a few blocks and then saved it but it won't print that also.
    for some reason only the top row under CPR   AED  and SFA print, but as you can see, there are a bunch that don't, along with all the names I removed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Any ideas?
    Tuesday--still working on this,  I activited the voice part of my acrobat 9 and it reads all the text while in PDF form, just won't print it.

    Restarted computer and seems to be working again.

  • Text Tool won't work

    My text tool is "stuck" on horzontal text tool in PSE10, and any attempt to change results in program crash.  I cannot even "reset" all tools without triggering the fatal crash (it's telling me that "ATMLIB.dll" is not a valid Windows file).
    I've got Win 7 and more then enough resources to run the software. Actually it ran just fine until recently.  Is ATMLIB possibly pointing to a font issue?
    I've reloaded the software from scratch (that is I've de-installed, and re-installed it now a couple of times).  I've reloaded it and used the regirstration code from Adobe's "my products."
    It only seems to happen when trying to select the text tool.
    Any ideas?  (I did post another message pointing to the DLL but I'm now more suspecious that it might be a font or registration issue.)
    I've wasted days trying to resolve this, any help would be appreciated.
    thanks.

    Did you read my last post in your other thread?
    Pse 10 needs a good copy of the amtlib.dll in system 32 or the text tool won't function.
    Yours might be corrupted.

  • 9.2 Crashes w. Text Box tool

    I've been having the darndest time recently. I used to be able to use the Text Box tool in PDFs to add text easily.
    Now I can open documents and select the Text Box tool but as soon as I click on the document to create a new text box Acrobat crashes. Hard.
    When I click into my document with the Text Box tool Acrobat pops up a window that says, "An internal error occurred." with an OK button. But when I click OK, the error message just refreshes. I can click a dozen times and it stays in this crashed, error message loop. Eventually I have to force quit.
    I've tried to repair my Acrobat installation and check for new updates but nothing's worked. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Has this ever happened to you?
    I've considered that there could some software incompatibility but I'm not sure what could be causing the problem. And suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks everybody!

  • Text won't print on Canon LBP5050 after software update, Text won't print on Canon LBP5050 after software update

    I'm running OSX, 10.6.7 on a Mac mini and on a macbook pro. Since I've run an update, neither of them will print text, only pictures, on my Canon LBP5050 printer (which I bought from Apple). I've checked the drivers, and I'm already using the latest. I've reset the print process and that had no effect either. Anyone got any ideas? It rather makes the printer useless.
    Thanks,
    Ariane

    Solution found! Delete old printer driver, restart machine then go to http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900772205.html
    With the CAPT driver installed, to add the printer, you do need to click the More Printers button. This will be located in the bottom left hand corner of the Add Printer browser.
    Restart machine again and turn printer on, hopefully then you'll be able to print text and images without any problems at all! works for me and I'm on a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8

  • Dynamic Text won't Print - Ahhhh! Help!!!

    I'm importing a png file using an xml file and a text file
    for importing text. The image and text show up fine, but when I
    PRINT, both don't show up. I"VE GOT TO GO LIVE WITH THIS TODAY. It
    has to Print! PLEASE HELP!

    I found my own answer and thought I should share it with all
    of you. Since I was so surprised that you had to use ActionScript
    to tell the movie to allow dynamic text or a dynamic png files to
    print. You basically add the following lines for each instance of
    dyanmica text or for a movie clip. I was alos using a prebuilt
    component, so I had to give this component an instance name.
    function printpic(){
    print(this.pic, "bframe");
    I called the function printpic just to stay in alignment with
    the instance name of the movie clip on the stage which was pic.
    Then everything printed like it was suppose to.
