Touch up text acrobat 9

Howdy,
I have a pdf printed from illustrator. I want to be able to use the touch up text tool to change text in the pdf. I have tried to embed the entire font in the PDF, but keep getting it reported (preflight) as a subset (but thats not the main issue). When I try to use the touch up text tool, I get told the the font is not available and on inspection acrobat is reporting the font name differently to the actual font name in the system (Fujiyama plain as opposed to just plain Fujiyama!)
When I make the edit, and choose properties it tels me that the font can be embeded so I save the document, which now contains both fujiyama plain and fujiyama. HOWEVER, when I dig into the preflight I find that Fujiyama has decendant fonts (whatever that means)and at the bottom of the tree there is "list of CID's missing in CIDset of embedded CID font". And the 2 additional chracters that I just added to the PDF are the ones that are missing.
In other words, I make an edit with the touch up text tool, it embeds the font for me (nice) and then EXCLUDES the 2 characters that its just embeded. ANyone know what gives?

Do you have text, or a picture of text? If you take the tool over text it should change to an Ibar. If you hold down the ctrl key and place the cursor, you should get an Ibar waiting for you to enter text at that location. If it is simply a graphic, you will only get an arrow.

  • Typewriter and Touch Up Text Functions

    Wow! I am so impressed with the politeness of the people who address the different issues that users are having! How refreshing and way to go! Here are my issues (Mac 10.4.11, Acrobat Professional 8.1.2):
    1. I work in an architectural office; contractors e-mail RFIs (Request For Information) to us in pdf format, which are downloaded into the client file. I first tried entering the reply using the Typewriter function. I can see the typing on my screen, but when I print, there is no typing. Also, if I save the file and e-mail it to the client - and my boss - the typing has disappeared, but the original file on my computer still shows the typing. Any ideas?
    2. We then tried using the Touch Up Text Tool for entering the replies, which seems to work pretty well, except that we are unable to change the Font in the Text Properties after the text has been entered. Do I understand correctly from the other user replies that this is a known issue with no resolution? Or does someone have a work-around? Also, My boss is unable to go back in edit the text on his computer after he has clicked out of the text box; he's using Leopard. Thanks so much for your help!

    Sherry:
    You are somewhat limited to editing text within Acrobat; For advanced editing of text you would need a plug-in like Pitstop.
    According to the Acrobat Help file:
    You can add or replace text only if the font used for that text is installed on your system. If the font isnt installed on your system but is embedded or subsetted in the PDF, you can make changes only to color, word spacing, character spacing, baseline offset, or font size.
    You can edit text on rotated lines in the same way as on horizontal lines, and you can edit text using vertical fonts in the same way as text using horizontal fonts. The baseline offset or shift for vertical fonts is left and right, instead of up and down for horizontal fonts.
    To Edit Text Attributes:
    Select the TouchUp Text tool.
    Click in the text you want to edit.
    Right-click/Control-click the text, and choose Properties.
    In the TouchUp Properties dialog box, click the Text tab.

  • Touch Up Text Tool

    Hi,
    I ran OCR on a document and wante to play with the touch up text tool.  The issue is, I don't know how to view how acrobat has interpreted the words, so how can I figure out what it has got wrong or right without converting to word etc first.  I can type touch up text, but its as if I'm using white font and I can only see what I've typed after I put it into word.
    On a separate note, how can I get Acrobat to recognise tables so that it can display these tables in a word export?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Last first. Tables - OCR provides a "best-estimate" character output of what it 'sees' of the discrete image of the text characters.
    It does not interpret format and layout.
    Higher end applications ($$) provide additional functionality that may output a reasonable "best-guess" of layout/format (of which tables are a subset).
    However, the OCR provided with Acrobat only does the character image recognition.
    Acrobat's OCR output is dictated by which of the three modes you use.
    These are Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact), or ClearScan.
    The first two provide a layer of "hidden text".
    Use Examine Document to view this Hidden Text.
    There is no practicable way to edit this hidden text in a PDF (keyword is "practicable").
    However, you could try selecting PDF page content (a page at a time) and, via TouchUp Text tool's context menu go the Properties of the selected text.
    In the Text tab, change selected hidden text to a font installed on the local machine. This may be sufficent to support what you want to do.
    ClearScan output is where you can work "suspects".
    Selecting each PDF page's content in turn, you can use the TouchUp Text Tool to get into the properties of the selected text and change the font to something available on the local machine.
    To edit ClearScan post Suspect cleanup you will need to do this.
    ClearScan output is an Adobe font created specifically for ClearScan.
    Be well...

  • Touch-up Text Tool and Fonts

    We are on Windows 7, Office 2007 and Acrobat 9.  We have recently discovered that when you pdf a Word document, open within Acrobat, then try to use the Touch-Up Text Tool, it changes the kerning/character spacing of the text upon saving.  The only fix we have found for this is within Word, choose Acrobat Preferences, under Advanced Settings, click on Fonts, and REMOVE the fonts from "Never Embed Fonts" pane.  You need to ensure that any font that is in the Word document is removed from this area.  This seems odd to me.  Can anyone enlighten me on this?  See below screen shots of text spacing changes as well as Font Menu.

    It is a good practice to embed fonts if Touch Up Text is a tool you often use.
    Is the person creating the pdf the person who is editing the created pdf? If not, my guess based on the exclusion list in your post is that the users have different versions of the Arial font installed. There are small, but significant, differences in kerning and line height between different Arial versions.

  • Now unable to use Touch Up Text Tool

    Since 2007, I've used a mac laptop for creating invoices in Quickbooks and saved them as pdfs. They are saved to my 2009 IMac as acrobat (9.4.1. version) pdfs. Over the years I have, on occasion, made minor edits using the edit text tool.
    Beginning yesterday, I am no longer able to use the text edit feature (system font not available?!?). See attached. It appears fine.
    When I go into properties it say font not available
    Can someone offer some guidance? Happy New Year!

  • Scanned pdf - touch up text tool - upside down text

    Have a few pdfs created with Acrobat, scanned with a Canon 7080.
    When opening the pdfs and using the Touch Up text tool to add text, the text is upside down.
    The pdf is oriented correctly.
    It does the same on a few other machines so it seems to be something specific the documents.
    Most other pdf files are fine.
    I have printed to pdf and it fixes the problem (added text is right side up) but I'd like to know how it got messed up to begin with.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    Sounds like you used the searchable text form of OCR. Thus the text is hidden and that is what is happening. To see the text, you would want to use the ClearScan form of OCR. At this point I don't have any good suggestions. A lot depends on what you are trying to do. In any case, trying to do major editing to a PDF with the text touchup tool is not recommended. Not the name of the tool is touchup, not retype. The method you are using will not make any change to the appearance, only to the hidden text.

  • Possible to modify blocks of text as defined by Touch Up Text tool?

    I have scanned a document and OCRed it. Using the Touch Up Text Tool, I can approach the text, but the text areas are not as defined by the tool. Is there a way to modify a block as defined? I.e. There is a heading over 2 columns of text. The OCR process defined this as one block of text.

    Thank you very much for your input.
    I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible because I don't want to have to crunch the data manually myself later on, instead just teach someone else how to do it.
    The first search and replace action seems basic enough but regarding the second one I would have to manually assign that paragraph style to the line where the data would break because one can only assign character styles in nested styles, right?
    Also I've heard that ID CS5 automatically creates new pages based on a template when you paste information inside the first page, is that so? That would be great because that way the person wouldn't have to manually create pages and link the contents throughout the document but instead simply open my template and paste the information within the first master page. That's not possible with CS4, is it?
    Thank you very much!

  • Does JavaScript do Touch up Text?

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie in JavaScript. I have a requirement to find a string and replace with another string in a pdf file. I can use Touch up Text tool to update the text. However, as I need to do this "find and replace" action number of times, I thought of using JavaScript. I want to know if JavaScript can replace the text in a pdf file. Could you let me know of any other alternatives, if JavaScript can't touch up the text in PDF? One alternative I have in my mind is hiding the old text through annotation and overwriting with the new text, using JavaScript. I'm not sure, if it's possible, though. Can I get a small program to do one of these two alternatives?
    Thank you very much.
    Hemanth

    No, it can't replace the text. You need a plugin or an external application
    to do that.
    You can, however, remove the old text by redacting it, for example, or with
    a form field, and then place a text box on top with the new text, but if the
    length of the new text is different to that of the old text it might look a
    bit strange.

  • Copy text: acrobat 9 pro vs X pro

    Dear people,
    Something strange is driving me to the edge of total frustration. I have a unsecured PDF. With text. Bold and not bold. Simple, you would think.
    On my personal iMac i have acrobat 9 pro. I copy. I past in word. Everything is fine. 1 font, bold=bold, not bold=not bold. Great, just how I love it!
    Now I work on my working machine, a nice MacBook. Running acrobat X pro! You would say this would do things better. Not.
    I copy. I past. -> Totally unformatted plain text.
    Let's try again. I copy with formatting. I past. -> Formatting looks to be intact. However!! Fonts differ per letter/word/space (totally random)!!! Main font stays the same, but spacing etc completely differ. This is (ok, adobe corrected my bad language, so let's leave that out then). I need the word function 'select text with same format' but in this case this does not work!! What is going on, and how can I make it work again?
    Thanx for your help!!
    Barbet

    I found a fix. Going back to 9...
    Thanks for the 'great' support from adobe...

  • Adobe 9 Pro Touch Up Text Tool - Horrible!!!

    I have to say, for what the cost of Adobe Acrobat is, you would think that they would have a better text editing tool available within the software.  It's clunky and not very user friendly.  There has to be a better way to edit text, other than exporting it to Word, editing and back to pdf...

    As a noob, I do have a question regarding the best way to maintain PDF Forms.  I have the original Word document and then I create the PDF and manually add all of the form fields.  If I have to make a change to the Word document do I then have to start over with adding all of the form fields?
    Is there a way to put field tags in my word document that so that when I create the PDF file those fields are automatically created?
    It seems like a maintenance nightmare to have to recreate all of the form fields each time I make revisions to the master Word document.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks, Stu

  • Daughter's iPod Touch receiving texts sent between my wife and I

    My daughter's iPod Touch is receiving texts sent between my wife and I.  I understand that I can manually disable this on the iPod Touch, but she could feasibly re-enable this and spy on us.  Is this correct?  If so, this is a huge problem for everything from discussing surprise birthday plans, Christmas presents, to sending "intimate" messages to one another.
    How do I handle this centrally and permanently prevent her from seeing messages that my wife and I send back and forth?

    Your daughter needs her own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud.
    The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Then on her phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • Installed New Fonts: Still cannot edit with Touch-up Text Tool

    I purchased the fonts I was looking for, installed them, re-booted everything, and I still get the following error message when I try to edit the text.
    HELP!  Even checked distiller and it's pointing to the correct file.

    It is also possible that you bought fonts that are not licensed for embedding. In such a case Acrobat will refuse to embed them. Why not just ask the author for a copy of the original file. It is better to edit an original file anyway and not a PDF.

  • Fuzzy text Acrobat Pro

    Hello,
    I was trying to create a PDF with very clear text. So I did the following, rather simple:
    1. New file in Fireworks
    2. Added some text and made text Arial
    3. File export save as PDF with no compression for the options
    Yet when I preview the PDF that I just created, the text is somewhat blurry compared to say
    a PNG file that I could create directly from Fireworks.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Test,
    Keep in mind all snapshots were taken on the same system, each window side-by-side. So, it is not a matter of turning smoothing on or off, since this would affect all documents at the same time. In fact, I tried different smoothing settings (including off), and this was not a viable solution.
    I can clearly see a difference between the three examples. Text in Apple Preview is extremely clear. On Adobe Reader 9 it is quite clear, even if a bit heavier. In Acrobat Pro X it's even heavier, and very hard to read. More than text, I start to see confused ink stains (and have problems forming the sonic image of the words in my mind).
    As for color, I guess you are right in suspecting there is a different interpretation of the embedded color profile. Acrobat Pro X (and Apple Preview/ColorSync) might correctly translate it (being a prepress settings), while Reader could be confused. I don't know where to choose a color profile in Reader 9, so I cannot test it.

    Have a 1G iPod touch with wifi and 3.1.3. Any text apps out there? US only.

    I do not think so. Try searching using:
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • Touch Screen Text Entry?

    Can anyone here tell me of OX X 10.5 will support a touch screen?
    Here is what I am looking to accomplish.
    I am going to build a CarPuter with a Mac Mini, I will have a touch screen mounted in the dash. I will be using RouteBuddy with a GlobalSat BT-359 GPS Receiver. I will be routing the audio from the mac mini to an amplifier that will run to the interior speakers.
    What I need to know is if there is a Mac OS X application (or if it will spport it native) that will allow me to have an on screen keyboard for text entry to applications. I would hate to have to always carry a wireless keyboard with me to do text entry. My other alternative is to get a frogpad that can be used for text entry.
    However I will also need to know if my finger movement on the screen will move the mouse, I would love to be able to move my finger to the dock, tap to open iTunes etc.
