Abnormal selection tool

Acrobat dear users,.

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.14).Abnormal Select Tool.png

Here's the question: the selection tool became abnormal (see image), and a page number appears under the small box in some PDF documents. It cannot select text in some PDF documents, but it cannot select a word or a single line (it can select all rows at the same time) in some PDF documents.

How can the problem be corrected? How can I change to the tool select normal?

Thank you.

This file does not contain actual text, but one (probably scanned) image. Therefore, you cannot select individual words or phrases inside.

Your only option is to run the recognition of text above (under Tools - text recognition). If the results are successful, then you will be able to select the text as with other files.

  • Selection tool is not the tail with images when you drag

    So I had this frustrating thing for a while. When I put my selection tool a video file at first to move to the side or another layer and as soon as, like moving the selection tool a bit, he places automatically the video one layer under my selection tool... So I have to move the selection up to a length of layers tool to adjust it to the left and right on the timeline... Just a fight. I wish that the selection tool has not changed the layer of videos when I moved it left and right... Just stick with the images that I am setting on the im adjustment layer. Check out the video and you will understand what im getting. The selection tool shows a strange looking symbol with an arrow pointing down so I guess it's just a special feature that was accidentally checked the. You just don't know where I can go back to normal. Thank you

    Went on the Chat with Adobe and they solved the problem via remote access.

    First on erase my personalized workspaces closed first pro. Then went to my "documents" (I have a mac) 'Adobe' and then click 'Premiere Pro' and moved three files named "6.0" "9.0" and "10.0" in a new folder, that they named "Od." Finally they opened back first. When the box came to put everything in place, they went up to the top of the window and deselected "import the project workspace" under "workspaces". I have opened a project and it fixed the problem. I had to make a new workspace and change some shortcuts custom back, but other that that, it was back to normal.

  • the fitting of the image in the field including AutoFit options are not displayed on my options panel of the selections Tools toolbar

    The fitting of the image in the field including AutoFit options are not displayed on my options panel to toolbar for the selection tools. How can I view?

    You're out of space. Some toolbar has been resized/re-spaced in the last update. Click on the menu button (on the far-right in your screenshot) and select Customize... Make sure that the mounting frame (object) is selected. If this is the case, you should disable something else to make room for this group of button.

    Furthermore, I see that your application window is not maximized. What happens if you expand to the maximum it?

    The best way would be to make sure that your layer is not a background layer: click the lock icon in this case. Then click the icon at the bottom of the layer panel layer mask. This will create a mask that you can refine and not be destructive.

  • Photoshop Elements 14 Quick Selection tool breaks

    I often use the quick selection tool to clone or highlight areas of the image for the special edition. Invariably, after several weeks of use, it stops working. It does not have the AutoFill feature nor can I enclose an area for further editing. In the past, I just uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop Elements. Last week, not even this method worked. This was also a problem in Photoshop elements 11, in my experience. What is the cause of the problem and what is the solution?

    A simple reset will often do the trick. Go to this link and select the Quick Selection tool:

    I don't know what is happening here, but your steps really do that properly in all cases. Try this.

    (1) make your selection, you see the moving dotted line

    2) click on the layer mask icon in the indicated measure. Note the mask is shown on layer 0

    (3) on the screen, it will look like this with a transparent background, but nothing has been deleted

    (4) If you are not comfortable with being there layer mask, select the mask and right click then choose apply layer mask. I would say it's totally useless, but some people find it easier to understand.

    (5) the layer will look like below. I know its tempting to cut and paste, but ultimately you lose things, but to do this way, you are in complete control and can go back if you make a mistake.

  • Magic Eraser and Quick Selection tool

    I want to erase the white background of the following image so that it is transparent, where there was formerly a white background.  Using the background Eraser is ineffective because it is difficult to erase the background without erasing parts of the image that I want to keep.  I was able to use the quick selection tool to select the white background and then use the Magic Eraser tool to erase the white background, but I have two problems.  (1) I can't get the Magic Eraser tool to erase the White Center, which shows to be selected.  (2) I can't the selected background to deselect.

  • Selection tool bug

    Just updated to 2015.2 and now whenever I use the selection tool to select a specific image in the scenario, the selection tool gets this rectangle icon below. and by clicking on this specific image selects all of this layer.

    I tried holding control and it allows me to select a single image, but seriously, I don't want to get used to that. How can I fix it?
    Is it available anywhere in the options? He is currently slow down my work flow to near irritation. Thanks in advance.
