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.

Siri and Voice to Text function not working

I have done every suggestion that has been listed on every website and from the Siri troubleshooting document. Nothing has worked so far. When I look at what has access to my microphone it doesn't list Siri and I cannot find where I can give it access. Siri and the Voice to Text function worked fine before the iOS7 update. I've made sure that Siri function is turned on, I've made sure there weren't any restrictions, I've turned the phone completely off, then I did the reset (on/off button and home button), I even went as far as doing a restore to the factory setting and then did the backup and it still does not work. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!! As much as we pay for these phones we shouldn't be having this many problems after doing the updates that Apple makes to FIX functionality. Updates are supposed to enhance our phones, not mess them up.
Thanks!

I fixed mine! Go in and reset settings in general settings at bottom. It's the top reset. After complete go turn on Siri, location, and find my iPhone. Let me know if it works for you

Suddenly 2 of my apps (Facebook and Skype) will not function on my ipod. They just close down when I touch the ikon.

If that does not work try resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Quick launch buttons and touch functions not working post win7 upgrade

I have several problems that I think are related.
1) When I rotate the screen and then bring it close (as in flat) to the keyboard, the screen goes blank. There is no key combination I can find that restores the screen. Putting it back in notebook orientation doesn't do anything either. Only thing to do is a hard reboot.
2) the quick launch buttons on the screen edge are not functioning as follows:
a) the hp mediasmart button (the one with the wave) doesn't work
b) the screen rotation button produces the same problem as 1) above
c) the third button which looks like either gears or a sun (I don't know what it should do) brings up the windows mobility center, where I have found problem number:
3) On tablet PC settings, the display tab, there is one display: 1. mobile PC display
on the same tab, there is a setup button. The next screen says:
pen input
touch input
Regardless which one I select, on the following screen (where it says Press this screen with ....) when I press with either my finger or the pen, nothing happens. Which seems like either:
it thinks another screen is active or
the touch components are completely non functional.
4) Not surprising, the touch functions are completely non-functional
I have installed all of the drivers for this TX2-1025dx for Win7(64bit) per the HP support/drivers page.
Not all of them resulted in a clean install.
Here are other drivers that I had problems with (meaning that I got an error message, it failed, it had to be done more than once, something else broke, etc.)
AMD AHCI - started catalyst installer then failed
Authentic fingerprint driver - "dpinst64 not marked for installation"
Ntrig Duosense - had to do this one multiple times to get the fingerprint reader to work
HP Mediasmart MVP - hung in CMD
I have checked that all of the startup services are actually enabled in msconfig including quick launch buttons, hpwuschd, and media smart. Nothing is disabled in services.
I have reinstalled the quick launch buttons driver for this product from December 2009. (There is an earlier version from November.)
I installed the bios upgrade (before win7, actually) it is currently F.25
I have also eliminated EMF possibilities.
I have searched the forums, and while I have found some interesting clues, I don't see anything like this - at least with a solution.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this thing is quite useless to me as it currently functions. It is not a tablet anymore.
TIA

[knock knock] Helloooooo??!!??
Installed 6.50.9.1, which is in between the last two quick launch button (QLB) drivers (that did not work). Also fixed the lightscribe and mediasmart DVD installs. Same problems, no touch or pen, and a new bug I discovered with qlb
First, if you search for tablet in the start menu, there is a selection to set the tablet buttons to perform certain tasks. When you run that, it says that teblet buttons are not installed on this pc. Doesn't matter if QLB is installed or not - same error. Hmmmmm. Check with your pc manufacturer..... I think I am doing that. I am starting to feel like I am working for HP.
Next finding: Using mobility center, I found that if you orient the screen to landscape for the slate config, and then rotate the screen, it does not go blank. However, if you rotate the screen back to notebook, it goes blank. And of course it keeps that upsidedown config when you reboot, too. So, the way to recover from that (because you really need a keyboard if you don't have a working pen and touch takes 30 sec to respond) is to keep trying to get touch to orient the screen back to landscape for notebook. Then rotate the screen to landscape for notebook. And uninstall the QLB driver that doesn't work and reboot. But after that, touch and pen did not function.
Since touch and pen had previously been restored when I uninstalled QLB, I reinstalled MVP and smartmenu coz they were the actions that I took the last time before touch and pen returned. Didn't work this time, tho.
I decided to do a system restore back at the point that I had used HP Advisor, since that was the last time I made note that pen and touch were working. Restore failed because a sfi.dat file was not found (and search didn't find it anywhere either). I tried 5 different restore points, before and after that one, and they all failed. But the first time around, I had touch on the logon screen, just not after windows started. The next time, I had touch but not pen. The next time, I had touch and pen, but only for a period of time (I think HP Advisor may have been the intervening event) before they stopped working.
Oh, and HP advisor does not appear to be actually installing the things on the action list. That could be an issue with Comodo, but it really looks more like an issue with that "mother may I" message from Windows asking for permission to run the program. Often as not, windows reports that the program is not responding. Closing the program with that dialog box actually gives it the kick in the knickers it needs to complete.
A not so great workaround is to use the mobility center to orient the screen when you want to put the thing in slate mode. You can pin it to the task bar (with a little fiddling). Touch is extremely slow to respond in slate mode. For example, it took about 3 minutes to get the screen oriented back around to notebook config, which is 4 "clicks" if things are working right. Pen works sort of OK (although I haven't tried any writing) . Gestures for scrolling do not work.
I am done with the troubleshooting until someone comes up with other targeted ideas.I have been keeping detailed chrono notes.
Again, I hope the information here leads to a solution. This unit is not a functional tablet and I don't want to stay with Vista, neither should I have to since this is supposed to be compatible.

I recently did the update and my text message notification was no longer working. Then I did a reset and now my locking function no longer works. What is going on???

What "locking function" are you talking about?

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing. I do not use iCloud because I have no wifi at home, limited data available for regularly backing up, and I have a 64GB phone and don't wish to pay to upgrade from the 5GB iCloud storage. Am I doing something wrong? It worked so seamlessly on my loaner phone that I am completely stumped as to why it will not restore those items to my original phone again.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service. Your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have chosen to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

I just upgraded my iPhone to IOS 7.1 and not the speech to text function and the Siri function doesn't work. I tried rebooting but that didn't help

I just upgraded my IPhone to IOS 7.1 and now the speech to text function and Siri doesn't work
The microphone icon is white not grey
And when I hit it it only stays on for a split second
Not long enough to dictate a message
It worked fine before upgrade
And works on IPad which I also just upgraded
Help??

There are many, many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

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.

Help with ipod touch and iphone receiving text messages

i just bought ipod touch for my daughter for christmas and me and my husband have the iphone 4 when my daughter texts me with imessage my husband gets them all and see our conversation and when me and my husband text back and forth through the iphones she get them too.Help I need to get this fix I don't want my daughter to keep getting my messages.

Each iDevice needs to have one unique messaging email address. One the iPod go to Settings>Messagers>Receive At and ann another, unique messaging email address and delete the other on. I am also assuming that on the iPhone you alos use one email messaging address. You need to also make thos unique.

Both my boss and I have the iPhone 5C for Verizon. When I text, I have the little microphone next to the space bar, allowing me to use the speech to text function. He does not. How do you turn this on or remedy this problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

though I have sufficent memory space, and other internet based functions are running...

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

However, since it works with other networks that really suggests a problem with your network.

When i log onto safari the screen is grayed out and i no touch features are functioning

when i log onto safari the screen is grayed out and i no touch features are functioning

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

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...
