Why can i not type on an existing pdf file?

The tools bar is not giving an option to type on an existing pdf file. why?

Hi Kent,
In order to type on an existing PDF file you need to use the commenting tool available in Adobe Reader and Acrobat both.
Thanks,

  • Why can I not open some attached emailed pdf files?

    PLEASE HELP ME! I HAVE TO OPEN THESE FILES MY BUSINESS DEPENDS ON IT! why can I not open some attached pdf files and others are ok?

    PDF files are extremely reliable. You may have a software issue. I have the problem on 2 identical systems with the exact same specs. The problem occurs at the same exact interval. It may be a windows update. We have had to re-install software form the DVD in each instance. This fixes it for awhile and then it recoccurs. Adobe acts as if they have never heard of the problem...imagine that. I'm the only one with th problem.
    This is happens with CS6 volume lic product.
    If you dont own Adobe product it will be even more difficult to find and answer as the reader is used my so many people.
    We know we have the problem again when we double click opn a PDF and nothing happens. SOme have reported that reloading does not fix the problem.
    Wish I could help you. I am looking for answers to this issue right now and phone support is a 30 minute wait.
    Very frustrating.

  • Why can I not see the entire MS word file when saved as a PDF?

    I saved a MS word template as a PDF and only part of the document is visible.  The MS Word doc was erased, so I need to be able to see the remainder of the document.

    By "part of the document" do you mean just certain pages or are pages cut off or...?
    If pages are missing, that is probably what was chosen when it was printed to the pdf (or they were removed somewhere down the line). Again, the lost information would not be in the pdf file.

  • Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

    I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

    Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.

  • Why can I no longer download and read .pdf files

    I have never had any problems downloading and reading .pdf files until I 'upgraded' the Adobe reader to version 11. Now all attempted downloads fail because "I don't have the necessary helper application or even C:\DOCUME~1\Will-o\LOCALS~1\Temp\Back Channel II - The Vietnam Betrayal - Chaps 1&2.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. What in the world is going on and how do I fix it?
    Under 'Tools - Applications - Adobe Acrobat Document, the I've selected 'Use Adobe Reader.' However since I also have Adobe Acrobat 8.3, I've tried substituting that for the Reader, but that doesn't work either. Please help.

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

    Hi rookie newbie 2,
    Would you mind providing more details so we can try to assist? What type of form are you using? Are you able to activate the fillable areas with your cursor? Are they a color?
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • Why can I not make changes to a indesign file

    I was given a file to make some changes to.  I can open the file and some items are selectable but others are not.  Can not copy them or make changes.  Wondering why?  Some are pictures and some are text.
    elaine

    Oh  Thank you so much.  I am new to this program and am wanting to purchase the monthly program.   But I want to know that I can learn to use it.  I have 30 days to get some things worked out.  Thank you so much.  I guess I created mine on the master so are you telling me I can create a layer effect like in Photoshop and have different stuff on different layers and yet have them all show or just some.  I would like to create the unchangeables on the master and then just add layers for changeables. 
    Elaine   I wish there was a book to look at.  But I am really working at this so I can know  if this is the program for me.  I am familiar with Photo shop and maybe this works similar.
    Thanks elaine

  • Why can I not assign colour labels to some files

    When I try to assign a colour label to some files or folders, even icons, sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I've tried from the contextual menu, from Get Info, from File > Label.  Sometimes, one method may work but it's puzzling when none works.  Why is this anyway. I never had this problem before ML.
    Colour me frustrated...

    I've been so used to working seamlessly from external drives (I had a MBPro 2.2, 120GB drive, tip-toeing around in Lion), that it never occured to me that it would be different in ML on my new Mac Mini.  So, yes, after further investigation, the problem seems to only occur on the ONE external drive which I used all the time for all my video files, photos, music and any other large folders. (I plan to migrate most of it to my main drive now that i have 1GB to play with, so it's a temporary hiccup at least.)  This probably also explains why I have to "authorize" any move or transformation on that drive, but WHY?  It doesn't happen on other drives and I even tried changing permissions to Read and Write for Everyone, to no avail.  Perhaps it's still tied in to the MacBook somehow, but then so would be the other drives.  ???
    Anyway, thank you for your time and for making me delve into this further.  At least now I know it doesn't affect the main system.

  • Why can't I type text into a Photoshop file?

    No matter what I do, or where I've checked, I can't get text to show up on my either jpg or psd version of an image. The text box isn't too small (checked that), text is black on white background (check), even changed fonts to test that. Nothing! Any ideas? I'm working on a PC, Windows 7, CC and/or PSCS6 -- tried them both.

    What is the image size?  If you have a large pixel image with a low DPI, for instance, text can be too tiny to see.  In that case, open Image resize > turn off resampling > increase dpi from its probable 72 to something like 300.  Try using a linear size for text as opposed to points.  If your image is 10 inches high, set the text to 1 inch and you know the text should be 1/10th image hieght.

  • Why can I not see a table I own inside a procedure

    I have a procedure owned by user X as follows:
    create or replace  procedure ztm_get_debug_level is
      vc_pkg_name  system_parameter.name%TYPE := 'DEBUG_LEVEL_PKG_BASE_KEYS';
      vn_error     services.debug_log_level.debug_level_id%TYPE := 30;
      v_debugLevel   system_parameter.number_value%TYPE;
      function get_owner return varchar2 is
        cursor c1 is
        select owner from all_tables where table_name = 'SYSTEM_PARAMETER';
        v_Ret_Val VARCHAR2(30);
      BEGIN
        OPEN C1;
        FETCH C1 INTO v_Ret_Val;
        CLOSE C1;
        RETURN v_Ret_Val;
      END;
    begin
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('AAAA - ' || get_owner);
      select s.number_value
      into   v_debugLevel
      from   system_parameter  s
      where  s.name = vc_pkg_name;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BBBB');
    exception
      when no_data_found then
        NULL;
      when others then
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS');
       raise;
    end;
    Table system_parameter is owned by user X.
    When I execute I get:
    TESTSSG.SUBSCRIPTION.87> exec ztm_get_debug_level
    AAAA - X
    p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS
    BEGIN ztm_get_debug_level; END;
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    ORA-06512: at "SUBSCRIPTION.ZTM_GET_DEBUG_LEVEL", line 32
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    When I run the query outside the procedure as user X I get a row.
    Any ideas?
    FYI, there are no public sysnonyms.
    DB version: 11.2.0.3.0
    Thanks,

    Thanks Frank,
    SYSTEM_PARAMETER is a table owned by X.  If I qualify the select statement by adding the owner it works, but of course I do not want to do that.  Here is the DDL for creating SYSTEM_PARAMETER:
    create table SYSTEM_PARAMETER
      name         VARCHAR2(256) not null,
      date_value   DATE,
      number_value NUMBER,
      string_value VARCHAR2(512),
      comments     VARCHAR2(512)
    alter table SYSTEM_PARAMETER add constraint PK_SYSTEM_PARAMETER primary key (NAME);
    Again, if I rewrite the procedure to the following (only difference is the red X.), it works:
    create or replace  procedure ztm_get_debug_level is
      vc_pkg_name  system_parameter.name%TYPE := 'DEBUG_LEVEL_PKG_BASE_KEYS';
      vn_error     services.debug_log_level.debug_level_id%TYPE := 30;
      v_debugLevel   system_parameter.number_value%TYPE;
      function get_owner return varchar2 is
        cursor c1 is
        select owner from all_tables where table_name = 'SYSTEM_PARAMETER';
        v_Ret_Val VARCHAR2(30);
      BEGIN
        OPEN C1;
        FETCH C1 INTO v_Ret_Val;
        CLOSE C1;
        RETURN v_Ret_Val;
      END;
    begin
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('AAAA - ' || get_owner);
      select s.number_value
      into   v_debugLevel
      from   X.system_parameter  s
      where  s.name = vc_pkg_name;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BBBB');
    exception
      when no_data_found then
        NULL;
      when others then
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS');
       raise;
    end;
    This procedure exists in 4 other environments where there are no issues.  It can't be a privileges issue as the table is owned by user X and as you can see by the lookup (which was added for debug) against ALL_TABLES the owner is clearly X.  So, why can X not select from it's own table unless we include the owner?
    Thanks,

  • Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tell me that the file is being used even when  it is not. How can I fix this issue?

    Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tells me that the file is being used even when  iall other programs are closed. How can I fix this issue?

    Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page.  (All the existing templates were 1 page)
    But it worked, saving me some steps.  When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
    Then tried to save it but  could not because it was locked.  I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
    to find it, it was not there.  The Finder could not find it either.
    So I start over again.
    I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new 
    original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
    I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again.  I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
    The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up  "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving.  Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
    I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
    clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
    and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
    It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

  • Why can I not print multiple files to one sheet and create a PDF of that format via Print dialogue on Mac? Very important part of workflow!!!!

    Try this if you use mac.
    Create a multiple page PDF. Three pages.
    Go to print.  - Multiple pages per sheet so that you see all three pages on your sheet to be printed.
    At this point, on a windows machine, you can print this as a PDF.  On Mac, it only lets you save as PDF (Not with the format selected).
    WHY has this functionality been removed from the Mac version of Acrobat XI??? Adobe?

    Jon,
    Unfortunately, Rave's response is quite incorrect on two major points.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance was indeed part of the Macintosh version of Acrobat Pro until a few years ago.
    However, it was NOT Adobe that killed the feature. Apple did! In one of the MacOS updates, Apple fully removed the capability that Adobe had to support this virtual printer. There was nothing that Adobe could do about this, regrettably. Adobe didn't cripple anything. Complain to Apple!
    However, Adobe does provide a replacement for it that will yield similar results, but it is not available in Acrobat or Adobe Reader!!! In most applications' print dialogs (such as Word) - which printer you select is irrelevant, click on the PDF button and select the Save as Adobe PDF option. This will save your document as a PDF file with Adobe technology. But again, this is not available from with Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    However, you should note that the process that you previously followed and you would like to continue to use is commonly referred to as “refrying a PDF” and is strongly discouraged even where it continues to work under Windows. Why? The print function of Adobe applications including Acrobat and Reader is optimized for PostScript for printing, not for creation of PDF. Resultant PDF files have lost any transparency (it has been flattened) and all color management has been lost.
    What you are really trying to do is to create a pre-imposed PDF file from an existing PDF file. Going through PostScript was and still is a very bad idea.
    There are some third party plug-ins to Acrobat, such as Quite Imposing (Quite Software, <http://www.quite.com>) and PDF Snake (<http://www.pdfsnake.com>) as well as some “free” (you get what you pay for) solutions you can look up on the web that can do PDF imposition without ruining your PDF via PostScript.
    Hopefully this can assist you.
