Yosemite crippled PDF text annotation with Preview.

In previous versions of preview, you used to be able to select 'textbox' markup tool and one-click create textboxes wherever you want on a pdf. Now, with the new Yosemite, selecting 'text' markup tool  creating a textbox in the middle of the screen, not where-ever you click. This cripples the productivity of annotating lecture slides during a lecture. I don't want my text box to always appear right in the middle of the page- I want to click to place it.
Also, why is it vertically center justified- who, EVER, used vertically center justified text rather than vertically top justified text?
Are there anyways around this?

The link below provides instructions for annotating a pdf in Yosemite Preview, and additional links at the bottom of this page provide instructions for several other pdf editing capabilities:
Select and copy text in a PDF
Fill out and sign PDF forms
Add, delete, or move pages in a PDF
Crop or rotate a PDF
Add effects to a PDF

  • Problems Editing Previous Annotations with Preview

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem with Preview and/or has any advice on how to fix it.
    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've been having problems whenever I try to edit any of my text annotations in Preview. All of my notes for school are given as PDFs, so I have always used Preview and the textbox function to take notes during lecture. Before I upgraded, if I opened a previously-annotated document to study from and wanted to change something or add to the text, I would simply double-click the textbox and be able to fix it in 1 second.
    Unfortunately, trying to make any changes to annotations has become a major process ever since switching to Mountain Lion. 
    Basically, as soon as I double-click any textbox to edit something I wrote at an earlier time, the box will shrink up to a single line that goes off the page and into oblivion. I have to resize the textbox over and over again just to fit it back on the page, which can be time-consuming and frustrating when paragraphs of text are suddenly condensed to one line that extends ten miles beyond the margins. It happens both with older documents from Lion and with the new documents I've only downloaded and annotated since upgrading to Mountain Lion. I thought maybe it was just my computer, but I tried it on a friend's Mac with Mountain Lion and had the same problem.
    I have only used Preview for everything, so all of my annotations have been made using the same program. Also, it gives me no trouble if I try to edit as long as the document remains open; it only happens after I close out of a document and open it up again at a later time (even if it's immediately after closing it). Unfortunately, I can't keep 200+ documents open on the chance I might need to edit them at some point.
    If anyone has any clue how I can stop this from happening in Preview or has a suggestion for another good PDF editor (aside from anything Adobe preferably), I would really appreciate it!!
    Thank you very much in advance.

    This is happening to me too! It's so frustrating especially since I've come to love Preview before upgrading to mountain lion. At first glace it seemed Preview had become more userfriendly with the textbox, line and circle drawers all separate icons now but the textboxes are such a pain. I know it only takes an extra 5 seconds or so, but by the time you add all the 5 seconds' up, it's heaps of time. It's especially hard if I'm listening to a lecture and I have to stop and fix my textboxes while the lecturer is still talking.
    Sorry this isn't much of a solution, but I hope you don't feel alone dealing with this flaw!

  • PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

    Hi everybody,
    I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
    They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
    If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
    I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
    Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
    Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
    Thanks for your help !

    I don't want to install Adobe reader...
    Why not?  It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't.  At least it's worth a try.
    In case you change you mind get it from here.

  • Adding text annotation in Preview.app

    Preview in Leopard seems to be missing the ability to add text annotation to a pdf like in Tiger. Yeah, I know annotations can appear to the left side of the pdf, but I want them right on the document.
    Anybody see how to add text directly to a pdf with Preview in Leopard?

    Yes Preview is really messed up. I can't find anyway to print a copy of my pdf WITH annotations showing up. And the bookmark implementation is absolutely nuts.
    In Acrobat you can bookmark pages in a document so that you can later
    easily find your way around a very large document. In Preview, it
    appears that they have added this feature but it works very
    differently. The bookmarks are more akin to bookmarks in Safari.
    They exist outside of the pdf and they stay in your bookmarks menu
    even when another document is open. This is. . . really odd. As yet
    I have not found a way to tell Preview to just show me the bookmarks
    for the open document. After you have added 10 or 20 bookmarks to 2
    or more documents, the bookmarks menu quickly becomes useless. Also,
    b/c the bookmarks are not stored inside the .pdf, they do not transfer
    to Acrobat if you mail the document to someone else.
    Whoever worked on this project did not see to know much about .pdf documents or how they are used in the real world.

  • Pdfs print fine with preview, not at all with adobe reader

    this is a relatively new issue that popped up sometime in the last month or so. when i try to print any pdf document with adobe reader, to my HP laserjet P1505, i get the following error:
    /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
    if i open up the same document with preview, it prints fine. i updated my printer software, and reinstalled adobe reader with no change. what gives?

    here's what popped up in that log just now when the print failed:
    thanks for looking at this!

  • Filling out PDF forms & Saving with Preview

    I've been having some frustrations with PDFs & Preview.
    1.) Recently I had to fill out the IRS W9 form.  With Preview I filled it out, added my signature and saved it.  Again when I sent it to someone else, they could only see my signature and not any of the stuff I filled out.  On my end, I could see everything.
    2.) Also recently a colleague sent me a PDF form, which he filled out and saved with Adobe Pro. He needed my signature, which I added using the new signature feature of Preview.  Saved it and sent it back to him.  When he opened it on his end, all of the information he had filled out had disappeard, and only my signature remained.  If I opened the same file on my end, I could see everything. 
    So, the new signature feature is great, but what good is it if I can't sign a PDF document and send it back to someone without it making everything else filled out on the document invisible to them?  Yes, I can do Print ==> Save as PDF as a work-around, but that still doesn't answer the question.

  • Preview app: Add text annotation with left justify?

    I'm using the Preview app to insert text into some PDF files. I can use the Annotate feature to create a text box in the area I need it and adjust the font, color, size, etc. The only thing I can't seem to do is set the justification to Left Justify. It will show text as center justify - anyone know how to change this?

    I can find out what the defaults are with:
    defaults read com.apple.preview
    There are many properties but a TextAligment property is not one of them.
    I tried below but they do not work.
    defaults write com.apple.preview NSTextAlignment 0
    defaults write com.apple.preview PVAnnotationTextAlignment 0
    NB: 0 means left alignment
    Any idea?
    Maybe Apple has to create an text alignment feature for the GUI or provide the property that we can set it from Terminal.

  • Problems displaying a pdf correctly (both with preview and adobe reader)

    Hey guys,
    I've been having problems with displaying lecture notes (pdf files) correctly. It doesn't matter if I use preview or adobe reader.
    Can anyone please help me out?
    thanks a lot in advance,
    Simon

    Hi there,
    I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
    The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
    Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
    Here is a link to one problematic pdf: http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
    NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
    I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
    Thanks!

  • Error in SmartForm to PDF while Saving with Preview option.

    Hi,
    I have created a report to convert Smartform to PDF.
    I want the user to Preview data, if user is interested, then they can save the file.
    When user clicks the Back button in SmartForm Print Preview, user can select the path of PDF file to save the data.
    My code works fine, if Preview is disabled.
    In the sub-routine createpdffile, I am getting error while creating PDF file.
    The program works fine, if I disable the preview option i.e. if I uncomment
    cparam-getotf = 'X'.
    How can I have the both options in my report?
    1)     Preview SmartForm.
    2)     Save the SmartForm as PDF.

    I think the excerpt and link below is the why, but the page talks about server code and not javascript.  I guessing that this is why blank pages work, but not wiki pages.  Can anyone verify this?
    The following are general rules for using server-side code on a site page.
    If the page is uncustomized, server-side code is supported on the page.
    If the page is customized, server-side code does not run, and the page does not render. This includes the code-behind for the page itself.

  • Safari is not opening pdf's anymore with preview. Help!

    Hello,
    Can anyone help me to get safari to open pdf's using preview again?
    I installed adobe reader and it seems to have highjacked safari and now is the default pdf viewer for pdf's opened in safari while browsing on the web.
    Things I have tried so far....
    I tried uninstalling adobe to no avail. When I uninstalled it and then tried to open a pdf in safari I found that I wasn't able to
    I tried going to library/internet plug-ins to find and delete any adobe plug-ins but found none to be deleted.
    I have tried going to adobe reader/preferences/internet to unselect anything there taht would "turn off" but that didn't work.
    Any Ideas, please help! I don't like the adobe reader experience nearly as much as preview.
    I am running OS X 10.8.3
    Safari 6.0.3
    Thanks so much

    Never Mind I found the solution....
    Entered my main disk by double clicking and opening Macintosh HD found on my desktop. From there to Library/Internet Plug-Ins. In the Internet Plug-Ins folder I deleted all adobe reader plugins. I also deleted adobe reader app from my harddrive. Once I quit and re-opened safari all was working as it was before.
    I won't install Adobe again!
    Hope that this would help someone with the same issue.

  • PDF text editable with Acrobat, Get it to InDesign?

    I recently suffered the loss of my external hard drive.  I messed up big time.  I only have a pdf of my portfolio.  I need to do some updates and I noticed a few typos is there a way to to edit and add text? When I edit it in Acrobat the font is darker, because the opacity is altered on the original text. So the result is the new text really standing out.  Not great to highlight the addition of commas...
    Is there any hope? Or am I doomed?

    Place it in Indesign. If it's editable, great, if not, cover up the errors and make new elements to patch in.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 / Mac OSX.6.6, open-PDF-with Preview preference is not retained across sessions

    Using Firefox 3.6.13 / Mac OSX 10.6.6, when I visit PDF-file links, the default ALWAYS reverts to saving file in downloads folder. I go to Firefox -> Preferences -> Applications -> Search PDF, set Open-With Preview (Default). Fo rhtat session of Firefox, everything is fine. The next time I sure Firefox it has forgotten this preference and I have to set it AGAIN. Every time I restart FF.
    Although I had Adobe reader also installed, Adobe doesn't seem to be grabbing the PDF ring wither, it's always reverting to saving files. What's wrong?

    Here's the fix. Dump Firefox 3.6.13 and Re-Install Firefox 3.5.16. Problem solved.

    I am using adobe reader 9 . How can I highlight pdf texts?

    With the commenting tools. But they will only be available if the author of the PDF enabled that option in Acrobat.

  • In Preview, when I add text annotations to my PDF (lecture note slides), they look fine until I close it and reopen it, and then they are rotated 90 degrees. How do I fix this and keep it from happening again?

    In Preview, when I add text annotations to my PDF (lecture note slides), they look fine until I close it and reopen it, and then they are rotated 90 degrees. How do I fix this and keep it from happening again?

    I have the same problem with lectures slides.
    Furthermore, sometimes the text box, when doube-clicking, turns  the text into a one-liner. Causing the text box to sometimes get 3. times wider than the pdf itself.

    ... then when it rotates the text isn't visible and I'm stuck clicking on random parts of my lecture slides hoping the text box will come back. ...
    By pressing [cmd + I] the Inspector opens up and clicking on the rightmost tab 'Annotations' you should be able find those Annotations again. I do this regularly to find the empty annotations I accidentally create while clicking through slides.

  • Preview Text Annotation

    It seems that the flow of adding text annotations to pdf files on preview has changed on Yosemite.  Instead of allowing the user to place a text box with the cursor and then begin editing, the behavior has been updated with placing the textbox automatically.  I can't seem to find any options to change this behavior to the way that it was back in OSX Mavericks, but does anyone know of a workaround?
    Thanks.

    I miss how the annotations used to work in the previous version of Preview!
    I'm definitely not a fan of how the text box and note defaults to the center of the page.  It's also very cumbersome having to continuously go to the toolbar to select text and note to get another text box or note to appear - and then having to move it from the center of the page to where I want it to be. I appreciated the older version where I was able to just click where I wanted the text box or note to appear and also being able to select text or note once and being able to just click with my cursor in multiple parts of the page to annotate.  This was a lifesaver taking notes in class - now I'm missing half my notes because I have to constantly move the boxes. Very frustrating!
    I used to also be able to just use command + and command - to make my text smaller or bigger in the text box - now it just zooms in and out of the page.
    Preview used to be my highly recommended choice for annotating - but it's not as efficient anymore.
