Editing the text in the pdf

Am, change the text in a full color book large pdf file of 296 pages.  Each page has a mix of text and images-I can edit text on each page, but on some pages that the text edit tool won't let me select the text I want to change - as if it isn't there and is considered to be an image, despite the fact that is a separate text box - can not understand why I can easily edit text which is next , but not the text of a few centimetres more far overall. Am baffled by this.  Attached jpg to show WORLD SWORDS PRACTICE FILE 180.jpg layout of the book.

It the tool select text does not work, then it is not text. You really do want to be change the text in a pdf file if it can be avoided at all. It's just a problem ticking. It's ALWAYS better to edit the original document and then regenerate the file. If there are customizations with the buttons and fields that you do not regenerate, so you can replace the old page of the PDF with the new page as a new pdf and avoid all the problems that come with editing text.

  • dc Acrobat subscription - android app opens the pdf with external application?

    Hello

    The adobe app for android (Lenovo ideapad10) dc opens pdf documents with an external application since a few days - why is this? Why adobe would need an external application for that?

    What happened to the pro-fonctions? I can't edit the pdf documents more. But I need it for the University.

    What can I do? Help, please!

    Thank you

    Falk

    I have a theory based on the screenshots:

    1. The files do not have the .pdf extensions on their behalf. Can you try renaming one of them to ensure that they end in .pdf?
    2. Some file names have a '. ' in them. If the addition of a .pdf extension does not work, can you please try to remove the '. '?

    I don't have my camera android with me today so I can not test this theory. Thank you for your answer!

  • prevent changes to signed and sent the PDF form

    Hello world!

    I hope you can help me. Please excuse any poor English and also all false translations of Acrobat buttons / functions since my Acrobat is in German I don't know the correct English terms.

    [Win7, Acrobat XI]

    I created a PDF form (w / InDesign).

    "I added the 'Send form' action [Formular senden] in Acrobat by using the 'Edit form tools' then right click on the word > properties > actions.

    A user can complete and sign before you send the whole PDF for me.

    When I receive the complete PDF I see all completed the fields and signatures, BUT I can also edit all the fields of the signed PDF.

    How can I prevent the PDF form signed being changed by the receiving person?

    Thank you very much.

    Ben

    Hi ben.beispiel,

    Right-click on the signature field. Go to the tab "Signed" in the "Digital Signature Properties" dialog box. The option 'Mark read-only' as shown below:

    This will avoid editing the PDF file that is signed by the recipient.

  • Editing the text in all PDFs

    Hello

    I am very new to Acrobat and try to edit text in some of my documents, but can't seem to be able to do. I use Acrobat X Pro and I use the tool "Edit the text of Document", but the cursor does not change its text editing cursor. I tried to open other documents in PDF format and it seems that I am able to edit the text in PDF files, but not the text in others. For that I'm editing, I did the function of "recognize text." I can highlight text and even look in the document for some words, but can't seem to change the text. I can choose the text to delete or put a comment in them, but still can not delete a few words/letters & retyping.

    It's really frustrating, because these documents are the only reason why I wanted to Acrobat X - if I can edit a few words on them.

    Help, please!

    Unfortunately, it is hidden by default in Acrobat 10. To access the preflight check, click Tools, and then you will see a very small icon/button in the upper right of the Panel. Click on it and select 'Print Production' in the menu dropdown. The printing Panel opens and you can select the preflight. The document open, select the "Embed" fonts in the list of 'Corrections PDF' and click 'Analysis and fix' button at the bottom right.

  • . Linked PSD placed behind the text block. Does not appear in the PDF export?

    So, I have an image as a .psd in my spread which is behind a block of text and a low opacity to ensure readability. However, when I export to PDF, it does not appear in the final file. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

    EDIT: now I found a work around using a PNG exported from Photoshop instead of the original file. Would be really nice to be able to use the PSD so if changes are to be made to the image, it can be easily updated.

    Hi Justin,

    HM, then you must make a tough decision, your only choice to be on the "safe" side

    Export to PDF v1.3 (Compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) where you check "simulate overprinting" in the fourth tab of the settings of export PDF.

    This workflow is not recommended for PDF files you want to print:

    Just for the screen display!

    Then all the 'overlay' and 'transparency' is cooked in the PDF file so to speak.

    Here is a screenshot of my German OS:

  • I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.

  • How can I change the text in a pdf document using an embedded font?

    I'm trying to edit text in a pdf document where the text is in a (Nimbus San) embedded font, but when I try to add some text in the text box, it appears in Minion instead of the police of San Nimbus.  I don't understand why I can't change by using the embedded font.

    The fonts are licensed assets subject to single use. They are not intended to share, redesigned, etc..

    As part of the PDF standard that they included in a document so that the document can be considered reliably without the police be installed on the viewing station.

    To change you must have fonts installed on your computer. The possibility for the second parties to use the police violate the licensing of fonts.
