Why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?

why can't I add text in the signature panel in firefox?  I have adobe acrobat pro XI.  I can open a pdf in acrobat pro and am able to add text to a pdf, but when I open a pdf in firefox, the "add text" option is not available.

When you install Acrobat XI you are also installing Reader for use in the browser. Reader is "sandboxed", or as it says in the Preferences, it is in "Protected Mode". Acrobat does not understand the concept of running in sandboxed memory (sandbox is a security feature to prevent the bad guy from exploiting a memory error and getting into a memory address where they can do damage to your computer) so to help protect Acrobat users the same way Reader users are protected we just install Reader along with Acrobat, but it is only used in the browser (part of this is because the bad guys use web sites as their primary method of distributing corrupted PDF files that can cause problems).
That said, because you are in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled prior to being posted to the web site (or opened in the browser). Once the file is Reader Enabled you should be able to add the text annotations.

    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • Why can't we add programs to the list of right-click "open with" in Bridge?

    I've followed various discussions and can find no official solution, nor any easy-to-follow solution for this issue.
    What is the point of having bridge if we are unable to right click from bridge and open any image in any of the CC programs.
    Am I missing something here?
    also, I was fairly convinced that I could do this the last time I used bridge, last week, and now I can't.
    I have used the "update cloud" today.

    Maybe you can specify a bit more of your problem?
    In basic, having a correct install automatically adds all CC applications to the list above the line and most of the non adobe applications under the line.
    You can add a new default using Bridge Preferences File type associations and if this is not in the list at the bottom of the pop up menu is a browse button to search your disk.
    But you simple can't open any image in any Adobe application because not all adobe CC apps support all file types or can't even view images.
    The Open Width list also varies per file type. For instance a Raw or DNG file gives you only the CC - applications with a Raw converter and that narrows it down to PS.
    A .mov file only provides After Effects and Premiere Pro etc etc.
    And you have to option to place all kinds of files in ID, AI, Ps etc. using the right mouse click menu.
    If your behavior differs then first start refreshing preferences as a start.

  • Why can't I add artboards using the New Artboard button in the Artboards panel?

    I cannot add artboards using the New Artboard button in the Artboards panel; I can only draw additional artboards with the artboard tool. I was able to create additional artboards earlier using the button in the panel, but suddenly (in one file) it stopped working and it displays the message "Cannot create artboard outside the canvas", even though I'm not attempting to create the artboards outside the canvas. I only ever had four artboards in the file. I deleted three of them, and now I can't even create a second artboard using the button. Even though I can use the artboard tool to create more artboards, my preference 99% of the time is to use the button in the panel. If I start a new file, the button allows me to create up to eight artboards. After the eighth, it then displays the "Cannot create..." message. But in the new file, I can delete the additional seven artboards and then add them back using the button. So I'm not sure what's preventing me from creating additional artboards using the button in my current file. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

    put the existing artboards to a location in the file where there's enough space to the right and down.

  • Why Can't I Add Buttons To The Browser?

    I deleted the "Medium Icon" button in the Browser and realised I needed it back.
    So I right-clicked to open the button menu and chose the medium icon from the "Display" section.
    There was no way I could get it (or any other button) into the browser. As I got the button over the browser it had a little x by the side of it. However, when I moved the button anywhere near the other windows they were only too willing to open up to accept it!
    The only way I could get the medium icon button into the browser was to restore the defaults.
    Why couldn't I get the browser to accept buttons?
    Ian.

    Thanks Tom but it wasn't the preferences this time.
    I've just been away from the computer for a couple of hours and after reading your reply, I suddenly had an idea!
    The Browser had been set to its narrowest width to accommodate a large Viewer and Canvas.
    All I had to do was stretch it out wider and it accepted the buttons willingly.
    What caught me out originally was that I was able to delete existing buttons but not replace them. You would think that if there was space for them to exist, there would be space to replace any that were subsequently deleted.
    Strangely enough the narrow Browser would still accept extra buttons when asked to restore the defaults.

  • Why can't I add certificates to the default firefox profile?

    I am using the NSS certutil to add a certificate to users profiles on OS X (10.8-10) running Firefox ESR 31.4.
    There is no problem adding the cert to existing users profiles, however I want to add it so that new users who log in will automatically have the cert installed.
    As I understand it, I should be able to install the cert to a default profile in the application that will then go out to new users when they run FF for the first time, however this has not been the case in my testing. I have been running the cert util, as root, on the directory '/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/browser/defaults/profile'.
    The command ('/opt/local/bin/nss-certutil -A -i mycert.cer -n "My Cert" -t "C,," -d "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/defaults/profile"') runs without error and places three files in there: cert8.db, key3.db, secmod.db
    When i log in as a new user on the system however, they do not have the cert. What am I missing?

    Turns out it was a permissions issue, the files created by the certutil in the defaults folder got root only permissions given to them. I opened them up and it's working fine.

  • Why can't I get text on my iPad? Roommate has iPhone and iPad like myself gets text both places. The only difference seems to be her phone number is listed before her email address. Can't get it to add my number.

    Why can't I get text on my iPad?  My roommate has a iphone and iPad like myself and she gets text. Only difference is her cell number is listed before her email address. My cell number is no there and won't let me add it.

    I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
    If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.

    Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone on its side?

    Hi,
    Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
    However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were  Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
    It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

    does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

    I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
    I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
    If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
    If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

  • HT201087 Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app?  Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking.

    Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app?  Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking. 

    I have an iPhone and occasionally use it for photos, but my main camera is NOT an iPhone.  To be forced to go outside Apple for a product when Apple had perfectly good products available is ludicrous.  But it is what it is, apparently.

  • Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious,  common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?

    Why can't Adobe add the feature of viewing focus points? This is an obvious,  common sense feature that Adobe Engineers must understrand how to do, No?
    I've seen this requested in several past Lightroom versions.
    Is Adobe not addressing this basic feature for a reason?, I mean, even Aperture has this feature, it can't be that hard to add? Can it?
    Maybe Adobe isn't reading the feature request?

    Honestly, I am hardly qualified to even guess - there are tons of bugs reported that would be easy to fix, but aren't, features that would be useful and easy enough to implement, but aren't. Things like focus points which seem like a no brainer but are never implemented - your guess is as good as mine..
    But to be clear: focus points are different for different cameras, and are stored in proprietary metadata. - not impossible to get at, obviously, but requires some programming/maintenance..
    Worth noting: Apple is shutting down their Aperture business. Yeah, they support focus points and all kinds of good stuff, but I guess Aperture isn't a real money-maker for them (lotsa maintenance work, but not a lot of revenue) - relatively small market.
    Adobe has been working on Revel, and Lightroom Mobile.., instead of focus points (and bug fixes, and...) - my guess: that's where the money is, or where they think it is.

  • Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod

    Why can I not add the audiobooks I purchased from itunes to my ipod. My ipod is 60 gb version 1.3. I think a 5th generation

    Kristy,
    Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks?  To check, plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes locate it's audibooks tab and make sure it is set to them.

  • Why can I sometimes paste text into a revision history dialog box and other times cannot?

    Why can I sometimes paste copied text (from another VI's revision history, for instance or from anywhere else) into a revision history dialog box and other times cannot? All versions of LabVIEW! It's something like the control key becomes diabled. I've noticed the same thing when saving many VI's at once, some will let you paste into revision history and others will not. Aren't all VI's created equally when it comes to revision history? All versions of LabVIEW since 3 have plagued me with this problem.

    Hello,
    If you'd like to add text to the revision history of a VI, you can
    paste into the Comment box and add all of your text at once.  The
    history itself can be read from this window, but cannot be directly
    edited.  The History field is read-only in the dialog box. 
    If you feel this should not be the case, your best course of action is
    to express your desire for added functionality to our developers on the Product Feedback page of our website.
