How to insert an editable text area

Hi all

I'm hoping to reproduce a process that I have done in the past.  I was working with a MS Word document and had a method to export it in PDF format.  In the new PDF file, I was able to add text fields that can be changed (the document is investigated).  The rest of the PDF file is not editable, but text fields allow students to enter their comments.

I still have the original document that I realized that with the past, but I have not any notes about the way he did.  Here's a screenshot of what I'm trying to accomplish...

Is anyone aware of how to duplicate this process?  The Word document has been imported with simple lines of text to enter comments.  Once in the PDF file, these lines of text have been used to create this editable text fields.  I am also curious to know how to change the font, size, ect.

Used programs:

Word 2007

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

Thank you!

The editable fields are "form fields". So looking for something to do with the forms. Don't let it run LiveCycle Designer for you (he wants), use the form in Acrobat editing tools.

    Actually, that's exactly what you should do, you don't need to create

    all fields again.

    After you have edited the original and create a new static PDF, open the old

    version and use the command replace Pages to insert the new pages

    those in the old file. This will keep all the form fields in tact.

  • Editing text areas

    Hi, I would ask what is probably a simple question. I have been using Acrobat 8 until I installed Acrobat X recently. In my previous version, I used to have the text tool in the task bar so that when I had to add a text box in a document, I could just click on margins of document and add a text box by clicking on the document open and double click on the box to change the text that I entered style or size, or color. Then I could simply close the text box and then change the properties of the text box, such as the color, the thickness of the line etc.. I don't know how do it in Acrobat X I tried in ' Tools-content-change the text and object - add oe Edit Text Box "and I tried"comment - drawing annotations"but doesn't seem to give the possibility to create a text box in a document and then by typing in the text that I can highlight and edit size , font, color etc... I can add text using "Tools-Content" etc., but that does not give me a text box. I can add a text box with 'Comments-drawing Annotations' but which does not allow me to change the size of the text, it seems to be a size by default, even if I select all the text [like I did in the earlier version] I can't yet change the properties of the text. It was pretty simple inAcrobat 8, how can I do it with the same simplicity in Acrobat X. cordially, peterjones2.

    In Acrobat X - double-click in output of text box, once that the departure of cursor blinking inside the text box - press Ctrl + E and you will see what you are looking for - "properties-text text box.

  • How to combine ocr'd text areas

    When I OCR a scanned document, acrobat automatically has all the text in a hundred separate boxes so I can't copy and paste even a paragraph of text. How to combine these boxes in a large text box so that I can select all the text I need?

    Hi graphics198086222,

    Digitization of works in form of image and implementation of SIO on image are a difficult task. OCR recognizes only the part of text, so if there is enough space between the text, it will create a new text box. Is not possible to group them all.

    Try selecting all the option ' Ctrl + A ', to check if it works for you or not.

    Kind regards

  • How to insert the "html" text in the text block?

    Hello everyone!

    I have the question of the object. So, I want to insert the type html content in the block of text, something like this:

    Header text in italic and bold styles

    Some content in the normal template

    I know I should use

    TextFrame.Paragraphs.Add ('of content', null, null)

    and

    CharacterAttributes

    but don't know exactly how to write it.

    Please give me some examples?

    Thank you.

    need to make semi-auto, you start by creating two character styles in the user interface, we will call "bold" and "italic", then apply these styles to characters in the script

    var idoc = app.activeDocument;
    var itext = idoc.textFrames[0];
    
    var irangeItalics = itext.words[3];
    var irangeBold = itext.words[5];
    
    var boldstyle = idoc.characterStyles["bold"];
    var italicstyle = idoc.characterStyles["italics"];
    
    boldstyle.applyTo(irangeBold);
    italicstyle.applyTo(irangeItalics);

  • I can't edit documents, specifically to insert and edit text.

    Its so frustrating.  When you go to the technical support Department, it makes you go around in circles.  When you click on tools, go to editing, he keeps asking to register, which I already have.

    The editing in the drive options are very limited. Basically, you can only fill in form fields or add comments, if security policy allows.

    And you cannot apply or remove a security with player strategy.

  • Manipulation of lists in an editable text area

    I am trying to create an internal application that has a WYSIWYG (build on TLF2.0) component.  Examples of applications SimpleEditor and TextLayoutEditor were a great help in this area.  The feature that I really struggle with is lists.  They have an absolute requirement (and the main reason we use tlf 2.0).  I found the method of EditManager.createList that has been creating incredibly simple lists and gives exactly the UX I wanted to create a list.  However, remove from the list (without deleting its content) is becoming a huge pain.  Is there an easy way that I'm missing?  What would you suggest?

    The MoveChildrenOperation has been designed for this use case.

  • Property lists: how to insert a variable as a property?

    Hello.

    I'm trying to insert a variable instead of a newly defined property to add to a list of poroperty.

    This would normally add a new a new property to a list of poroperty:

    Database [#needtogetvariablehere] = typedPassword

    -"Database" is the list of properties, "needtogetvariablehere" is the new poperty and "typedPassword" is the value of the property of the new - thisall works very well.

    I want to generate new names of properties dynamically using an editable text area. How to replace the new 'nedtogetvariablehere' with a variable property name?

    I don't know I put some media rounded somewhere, but everything I try spit a syntax error.

    for example:

    $myvariable = 'blah '.

    Database [#(myVariable)] = typedPassword


    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    type these one at a time in the message window to see how it works

    g = [:]
    x = 'abc '.
    g [Symbol (x)] = '123 '.
    g to

    How to insert text in a space from a jpg file?

    If you are wanting to use the text of the flattened jpg file, you will need to make a selection of the text. Without seeing it, I guess that using the wand would work to select. Then you can press cmd/ctrl-J to put it on its own layer, and either move it or move it to a new file. Your best option would be to find the font and use the editable text. Save as a jpg destroyed the ability to edit the text, then save it as a PSD and then save for web to your jpg.

  • How to remove the text areas of a scanned document

    How can I remove a plethora (sp?) of the text areas of a scanned document?

    Hello JBreeden,

    More scanned documents cannot be changed, unless you have a software that can read digital information. The scanned document is just a picture of the item that you have scanned. You must have a software like OCR (optical character recognition) to be able to make changes to the digitized item.

    Thank you

  • How to change the white text and more light colours of text and illustrations to deep colors or provide a deeper black outline, so that they are legible?

    I noticed that the illustrations and white text are not readable as well as light colored fonts that I use. I have consulted with Microsoft and other help sections various areas recommended, but impossible to find what is the problem and how to solve these problems. In order to clarify, for example, if I go on a site that displays white text anywhere on the screen, or illustrations in white, I can't read or see anything even if I do expand. I tried to innovate in following things suggested in onlne Microsoft Help related to the resolution section, but can't find anything on this specific problem when I do a search. I tried to change my display resolution settings, change the background color of my screen, themes and even the font colors, but nothing changes for the problem. I also noticed that any file in my computer appearing in any color of light is also hard to read. I must not do something correctly, but I don't know what. It's a pain for example, when I go to a site, and the white text and illustrations appear, but do not have any black outlining. Magnification just leads to the same result. Can anyone identify which is the problem, the settings on which I should be focusing and provide instructions on how to fix this?  I use Windows Vista Home Premium and I am a layman when it comes to computers.
