How can I add annotations (notes, in particular) as a PDF in preview of El Capitan?
I have a PDF file and I am trying to annotate, and I do not understand what to do. This is a test of the student, and I would like to add comments in the PDF file.
All I want to do is click on the PDF to indicate a comment at this time, and then type the comment so I and the student can be seen in the sidebar, but it seems to me to miss something fundamental about how to make this work (wasn't that easy a couple of versions ago?).
What happens now: the PDF file is opened. I open the toolbar of the Markup (by the way, can I have that open by default?). I move the pointer to the place where I want to add a comment. I press Ctrl-command-N, and I get an error beep. OK - if I click on the icon marked "Note", and a yellow box appears in the middle of the page. That is not where I want to. I have the mouse over it and hold the mouse to drag and... it does not move. Instead I am suddenly draw a line in the PDF file. Now just the small fountain pen symbol, and I can't move this note. I have to scroll down, press control-command-N... and hear a beep. Press again and it will beep. Press again and a new note will reappear in the middle. Again, I am trying to drag the note - but everything seems to be able to do is to draw a line. In the toolbar of the Markup, I see he's now on the sketch / icon "Pen and wavy line", even if I select that. I click on 'Note' again, and presto, there is another note, on top of that I was unable to move. So now, I have seven or eight notes, all piled up above the other in two different places on the PDF, with no way to move them.
What on Earth missing am me?
Thanks in advance!
For what it's worth: after closing and opening the PDF file, I am now able to move the note autour boxes, so it's an improvement. The mouse is no longer randomly to the "Sketch" icon for no apparent reason. I have no idea why it did not work before.
So my main issue now: How can I get notes or text to appear when the mouse is? Now a new note or the text always appears in the center of the window, which is not where I want it. Is this a defect, I can not change? And is it possible to add these annotations using just the mouse, with the Services menu or something similar? Right now his keyboard (or menu) to add the note or text, the mouse to move it where I want, then return to the keyboard to type. Inefficient, to say the least.

How to create link annotation on a particular word to PDF?
Hello
I'm creating a plugin in Acrobat 9. The plugin must find a text to PDF and create a link to this topic annotation.
I use PDWordFinder to find the text in the pdf file. But I am unable to create the annotation link as create an annotation requires the ASFixedRect object.
Can anyone help me how can I get object ASFixedRect of a word especially in pdf format to create a link annotaion on it?
Thank you
As I've already said:
When you use the word finder, you can get the quad for each word.
A quad is now the corners of four shape faces - not necessarily a rectangle. But if you make the smallest rectangle that surrounds the quad, it's the best that you can make a rectangular link.

How can I add floating text? Or is it possible to move the title autour text, how do I do?
If you can not get the desired effect using the scrolling credits, the Far Far Away or the titles of Ticker,
the only way that I can think is to create a file with the text you want on a green or blue (outside of iMovie) and put it above a green or blue background element in the timeline panel. You can then use the image in the photo installation and creation of keyframes to move the text on the background. See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mova1aaa682b for more details.
Share/export this file, then import the file and place it above your video clip. This time, use the blue/green screen so that the text appears on top of your video. See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov82da1338a for more details.
Bulky, but should work.

Look does not recognize the weight class as exercise-how can you add the duration of activity manually because none of the presets etc for example elliptical is appropriate and therefore do not count toward the daily goal. Also does not count calories for example 35 when the average of the others in the group is around 500.
Hello
When you use the application of the training session, choose the type of activity that best fits your business. For anything else - like weight - select the other category.
During the follow-up of one year to the next helps:
- Activity app will credit the ring of progress of exercise with one minute for every minute of the workout.
- Active calories will be based on the data recorded by the heart rate sensor or a brisk walk, whichever is greater.
Note, however, that the heart rate sensor is likely to give better results for the workouts that involve rhythmic (for example running) rather than the irregular movements.

How can I add white space between areas that contain text fields?
I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015.
I'm trying to change an existing PDF. I need to add white space between areas that contain text fields to allow these areas to be developed and do not overlap the text and the text below fields.
For example:
- 1.
Progress/strategies:
- 2.
Progress/strategies:
- 3.
Progress/strategies:
- 4.
Progress/strategies:
The space between each 'progress/strategies' increasing needs. A text field is under each of them. If it's a Word doc, I could just press on enter. What is the best way to do this with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?
There is no easy way to do it. You need to move the text fields more apart and if there are static elements, then you will need to use the tool edit text & Images to move them, separately.
