Cannot select text in the file Acrobat DC

The old Acrobat had a hand picker icon and text that I could use to pan the page of the document or selection of text in the page.

Now, how can I select text, since I do not see the text Selector icon in the toolbar and I currently my cursor 'stuck' on a dynamic zoom slider I've previously selected and now can't get rid of.


I don't want to go into "Edit" mode I just select text non-edit mode.

Help, please. I am very frustracted with the toolbar being changed to useless tools.

MC

Hi MChampa-

You don't need to add anything to the toolbar as it exists already. Make sure your program window is wide enough to see the tools. You have the Pan tool and the text tool on the toolbar of controls on the Page, shown here as a floating toolbar.

You must move your cursor to the bottom of the document window in order to see the controls on the Page if they are floating. If you prefer, you can anchor the with the toolbars at the top of the page by clicking on the icon to the right indicating the arrow upward. The two icons on the left are the ones you describe, I believe.

Donna.

  • Design mode - cannot select text, only the Divs

    This is a page I have did not build, and I hope that I can describe it correctly. Here are the published page-

    www.WheelTime.com

    I'm in CS4 and there are two things happening when you try to change in design view. The first is that I can't select text content. Clicking to select such content, for example a line of text or a Word, selects and highlights the container div any and all content to the breast in a big piece. Why is DW not let me choose the actual content? It's the first time I met enver this problem.

    It is the same for all ontainers div on the page. But a related problem may have to do with this content area. In design mode, there is a fixed height, so not only can I not select content, but I do not see everything. It of OK in the browser, develops as it should. I have looked at all the properties of any place and don't see any height attribute anywhere, particularly those that define this content area.

    A you ask - this content area is warpped in a 'main content' div, with a class applied. But this div has no corresponding entry or properties in the style sheet. I can see where a div can be used has no specific properies of its own, but it's OK, not at all mentioned in the style sheet? And this can affect what happens in Design view editing?

    So, I guess that the question is what governs this inability to change in Design view?  Thank you in advance!

    Have you tried to double click on the content?

    I do not know what causes this exactly, but I downloaded your page and it ran into my DWCS4. Until I double click on the content of the div, it does the same thing. Allowed me to select without problem from there.

    It may have something to do with the content that is wrapped in the tags within each

    .

    On your other question, your

    is affected by the class .container in your style.css instead of an id #main file - container.

    EDIT: The HTML id Type

    used to identify the elements for many purposes, not just css. There is no problem with giving an element an id simply for organization purposes, although usually they are used as targets for javascripts, css, or php script ends.

  • Cannot select Images of the files after import

    Hello.

    I'm new to Lightroom.  I created a catalog last night by import (add) approximately 33 000 existing images to my hard drive.  They are organized into folders by date.  For some reason, I can select folders and Images in the left panel of all records before a certain date, but may not for files after a certain date.  No idea what's going on.  Maybe gone bad import?  If I click on a problematic file the Image will change in the little window above the list of records, but not in the main window of the plant.  Thanks for the help!

    No, if it works in another account we need not the test Mode without failure.

  • The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

    OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

    Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

    I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

    Common guys...
    Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

    Here are some solutions:
    Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

    Solution 1: Use CMD.
    0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
    1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    2 - go to the processes tab.
    3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
    5 type CMD, and then click OK.
    6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
    -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
    -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
    -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
    -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

    Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
    0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
    1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
    2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    3 - go to the processes tab.
    4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
    Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

    Solution 3: Do it yourself!
    If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
    Here is an example:
    MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
    This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

    I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
    Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

  • The Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program

    I get an error after a few seconds of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 for Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already in the destination on Mac. This is true, but it was just put there because I copy over to the same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there until I started.  Then I get an error: the Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program.  Close the folder or file, and then try again...

    If I click on it a bunch of hold or wait, it takes about 45 seconds. I have to do with all the files, and it occurs when copying from PC to Mac.  PC-to-PC was never a problem.  I even rebooted both computers, so nothing is using all the files.  If I copy a file at a time, I get no error.

    So, I have a single file to not move, no problem.  If move 5 files, the first is fine, but it presents all 5 files in the folder at a time.  All the other files that the first show 0kb. I get the already existing for the error file, and select move and replace.  Can I get the Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program.  I wait or click several times until it starts to move the file.  This file tells something then other than 0 kb.  When it's done, the error process starts all over.  In Mac, nobody seems to have any idea.

  • Try to remove a CD image file, get the error message "this action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.

    I am trying to remove a file from CD image (.img) of my office

    When I try to put it in the bin I get the message

    "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program close the file, and then try again"

    First, I checked the obvious things like if the .img file was mounted in a virtual drive - it isn't so I then used LockHunter to find which application is using the file so I can close by the Task Manager.

    Unfortunately LockHunter told me that the file is used by 'System' - which cannot be closed through the TM.

    Any help?

    The problem is that the program that allows you to mount the image always uses the image.  In my case I used the magical disc. Go to the start menu find the magic disk or folder folder, there should be an option to uninstall the magic disc. I tried UN-installing conrtol add and remove programs but it wouldn't let me. You can also click on computer in Start menu and see if the file you want to remove is always mounted (appears as a CD image). In this case that you can click the eject disc hit.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Runtime error "Cannot find system in the file table.

    I need help!

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8310 and have recently installed Version 4.5

    I'm trying to set my synchronization.  I followed the steps to set up my Outlook 2007 calendar.  He told me congratulations! You have configured the product. However, when I press Finish, I get a runtime error "cannot find system in the file table.

    I uninstalled the program and reinstalled - the same error.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    FIGURED IT OUT!

    The following steps, which are displayed on the RIM support will work; However, I had to do it another way.  In step 1, it says that ilxolkCompanion.fil is located in the path C:\Program Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector... However, when I searched this file, it was actually located in C:\Program Files\Blackberry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector.  (Maybe it's because I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.5 w/o filling a clean uninstall... not too sure why)

    Once I located the file via the command prompt, I have not recorded in accordance with the instructions of step 1.  I then followed step 2 exactly Word for Word... and VOILA!  I have now Version 4.5, working with MS Outlook 2007

    Resolution

    If the connectors folder is always present in C\Program Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector, follow these steps:

    1. Unregister the old of the Microsoft Outlook ilxolkCompanion.filconnector.

      1. Open the command prompt.
      2. Navigate to C:\Program research in Motion\BlackBerry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector.
      3. Type command regsvr32 u ilxolkCompanion.fil.
      4. In Desktop Manager, Microsoft Outlook is no longer appears as an available desktop application.
    2. Save the latest Microsoft Outlook Connector.

      3. Office Manager, Microsoft Outlook will be now stored as an available desktop application.

    Once these steps have been completed, configure synchronization again.
