"select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

"select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

You are correct.
i was confusing select an object with select tool for text and graphics. they look identical.
i always thought it would be a good idea to have some type of explanation that appeared in front of a grayed out option, so the user could understand why it is grayed out
thank you to all the group that helped

Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
Good luck...

Can't quit Photoshop and most tools are grayed out too!

Pretty much everytime I am working on a document in Photoshop, something happens and
most of the tools get grayed out, including Quit. I have to force quit to get out of it and reopen to do more changes.
Any suggestions?

Still can't figure this out... It's getting embarrasing in front of clients.
I"m running version 11.0.2 on OSx 10.6.4.
HELP!!!!!

Make sure you haven't accidentally flattened the object you
want to use
the knife tool on. It won't work on bitmaps.

Why is my 'start private browser' under "Tools" option grayed out?

When I click on 'Tools' from the browser screen, the 'Start Private Browser' option is grayed out.

Are you sure that it isn't a grayed "Stop Private Browsing" ?

Text Align is Grayed Out

I am having an issue with one particular site. The site was
created in DW CS3 using the built in style sheet templates. When I
try to edit the site with Contribute CS3 my editable area will not
allow me to align text. The align text buttons are simply grayed
out. My admin settings for editing are the same as all the other
CS3 sites in which I can align the text.
Anybody else run into this or have a fix for it?

Please check your CSS properties of the content area you are trying to align. And also, check the Styles anf Fonts properties in your site Administration settings.

Adobe CS6 Flash - 3D transform tool is grayed out?

Hi,
I am using adobe flash cs6 and I want to rotate an image in 3d space, but when I select the image then click the 3d transform tool I don't get the 3 circles to spin the image. I tried opening the transform toolbar, and the options to move it in 3d space are grayed out. I tried breaking the image apart, and still the same results - I can't rotate the image...
Does anyone know what I should be doing to get 3d rotate to work?
Thanks.

I want to rotate an image in 3d space
You have to convert your image to a symbol first (F8) to be able to use 3D Translation

When extracting hair, the Refine Radius Tool is grayed out in Photoshop cc

Maybe they've changed the process for the Refine Radius Tool but my version of cc does not allow me to further refine the extraction.

Hi Ron. Yes you can adjust the brush size with the square brackets. I use the express wheel on my Intuos 4. But more importantly, I don't think there is any reason why Refine Radius would be greyed out from a usser error point of view. You could try resetting your preferences by restarting Photoshop while holding down the Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) keys. But it could also be a video driver problem. Go to the card makers site and make sure you have the very latest driver for it.
Do you have a tablet? I sometimes have a sticky brush problem with mine, and have to tap the stylus on the tablet to free it up. That could cause problems with brush size, but I doubt it would cause the Refine edge button to be grey out.
What OS btw? Is it Windows 8? There seem to be a few people with video driver problems with Windows 8 and CC

All of a sudden the transform tool and free transform tool are grayed out and will not allow me to scale, rotate, or do anything to an image I just scaled?

I've been using Photoshop for years, but tonight I ran into an issue that I don't understand. I was working with a file that I had been working with for months. I added a new image and resized it to fit as I needed just as I always have (select layer with image > EDIT > TRANSFORM > SCALE.) All was working fine. I added a second image to the file I was working on (I added it by dragging it into the file from another window just as I had added the first image.) However, this time when I tried to select EDIT > TRANSFORM > SCALE this option was not available to me. Only the FREE TRANSFORM PATH or TRANSFORM PATH options were available. When I selected the SCALE in the TRANSFORM PATH menu (just to see what would happen) it started to scale a completely unrelated layer that DID have a path to it. However, the layer of my image was still selected and NOT the layer with the path. This image layer has no path even on it or around it in any way. I tried to select the folder layer and the same thing happened. It selected this one path and tried to scale it. I selected the layer I just previously scaled and tried to scale it again and it will only allow me to select the transform path option. I selected it to see again what would happen and once again it selected this completely unrelated path on a completely different layer. WHAT????? This makes absolutely no sense! I have tried restarting both my computer and PS and it won't stop happening! I really need to get this file finished and uploaded to my developer ASAP so I really hope that someone has some insight as to why this is happening.

hedger,
How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Adobe Reader X Highlight Text button is grayed out

I'm trying to highlight text in a pdf document. At the top of the doc there is an informational note that says "...has been opened in read-only mode to prevent modification." Read-only is ont checked in the properties box. I checked the security and there is none. I have renamed the file with no luck. This is not a scanned document and the text is searchable. I can highlight text in other pdf documents. Any ideas how to get around this read-only setting?
Also when I tried to add tags to this question I could not underline multiple words as indicated inthe instructions.

Text Tools Greyed out Acrobat 9 Pro

I really need to do a quick fix on a PDF document. My text tools are greyed out. There are no security issues on the document. I put "never" in the PDF/A view Mode as per another person suggested when I googled. I can't get anything to work.

I opened the document on my home Mac computer and the text tool worked! My 'newer' home Mac came with Lion. My Mac at work was purchased in May 2008 and it came with Tiger. I had to upgrade it to Leopard and then Snow Leopard, then Lion. I think these upgrades have caused lots of problems. I took my Mac into an Apple Store and they upgraded it to the point for me to purchase Lion, which I did. I have a bunch of Adobe products and have had problems with many of them since upgrading to Lion (Tiger worked great). Bridge gets stuck all the time and I have to force quit it all the time. Can't drag and drop files very easily in Bridge. Photoshop has some problems, and there are other nusances I can't think of right now when I work in InDesign and Illustrator. Just don't know what to do about it. (I am the only Mac user at work.)
I guess the text tools worked because I shut down the computer at the end of the day. I didn't think about rebooting when I had the problems because I am getting use to having so many!
Thanks for trying to help me. If you have hear of any of the other problems I wrote above and can lead me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative.

Page Editing Tools Grayed Out

I have a PDF with no secuirty restrictiosn for editing, etc. I am trying to crop and rotatate the document in Acrobat Pro X, and these tools are "grayed" out. Why are they grayed out?

Then that is the answer to your question. You asked these tools are "grayed" out. Why are they grayed out? . The answer is in the box: "The file you have opened complies with the PDF/A standard and has been opened as read-only to prevent modification. .
PDF/A files, while they are not formally secured (AND cannot be secured) are considered final, so editing of them is locked out. I think you can turn this off in preferences, but be sure you understand the implications on the PDF/A status.

Why are the CROP and RED EYE TOOLS grayed out?

My sister, who is new to iPhoto, can't crop her photos because, she says, the crop tool icon is grayed out. She's using iPhoto 4, v. 4.0.3.
She lives in another state, so when I come up with a solution or solutions, I can try to talk through it on the phone - each of us on our computers.
It was suggested by someone on another forum that the com.apple.iphoto.plist file in her Preferences folder in her library might be corrupted and that deleting that file & then relaunching iPhoto could solve it.
I talked my sister through deleting the file & relaunching iPhoto but it didn't do the trick. When she selects a photo and clicks on Edit, both the Red Eye AND the Crop tools are grayed out.

It's been awhile since I used that level of iPhoto but I believe that you have to select an area on the photo before you can use either of these two tools. For crop simply select the desired area and for red-eye select a small area around the eyes.
