PDF - text on several lines become separate objects - is there a way to avoid this?

I export to PDF from inDesign with the idea that the text would be editable with Acrobat Pro.

However, when you open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, each line is a separate instance / object.

Is there a way to get around this?

I guess I can recreate the text in Acrobat Pro - but it would be good if there was a way round of inDesign - as I imagine that it would be better for screen readers and SEO. Also, I downloaded a PDF file to before sites like Slideshare, yudu, issuu, which create one version of a text - only version text-only is scr * sea upward due to the problem above.

Help much appreciated or even know if this is not possible. Thank you.

PDF is a product finished and not designed for editing. You will never get a fully editable PDF.

This is not a limitation of InDesign.

  • I need to check required fields, "flatten" the PDF and send PDF saved to the e-mail recipient. Is there a way to do this?

    I found flatten java script, but making my useless button and flatten the entire document.

    I also found that the actions of document to check

    for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i ++) {}

    fieldName var = this.getNthFieldName (i);

    field var = this.getField (fieldName);

    }

    but I do still need to flatten + send to an e-mail recipient. Is it possible to do all these steps with just one button? Or save the form as being "read" only.

    my ipod touch received a text and panoramic photo from an iphone 6se, now my messages are empty and starts a restart, is there a way to fix this?

    I can't really answer this question completely because I don't know what software was used, or what processes might have been involved in stitching panoramic photo. A possible "fix" would be to save the image on an external and view on a larger screen - like an iMac.

    If your version is actually 4.3.2 is perhaps part of the problem. The latest version of iOS is 9.3.5.

  • Microsoft tools for restore the disk framentation system, and several others are missing. Is there a way to recover/reload?

    My computer crashed so I had to use my recovery disks that are about 8-10 years. When I reinstalled Windows service pack 2, the system recovery tools and several other microsoft tools not have installed on my system. Is it possible to recover these tools? The command prompt tells me that they are not on my system and get help from the Server Manager in the service (Net HelpMSG 2185) option. Can you tell me what that means and if/how I can do this?  I can't find a tab from the system restore on my computer. I guess that's because I have more access to these tools. My messages when I try to update things like Windows Media Player tells me that I can't set a date of restoration and that if I lose my installed programs that they can not be recovered. Guess that means I have to use my recovery again disks?

  • is there a way to avoid that a PDF file be transmitted?

    is there a way to avoid that a PDF file be transmitted? For example, I'm a personal trainer and if I send a customer a plan via PDF file, I want to assure you that they are unable to send it to someone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then create the recipient to have an identifier as well, but I would like to make the process as simple as possible for my clients and not need to have create them an ID, and then send it to me. is there a better way to prevent the recipient to send back the PDF?

    Hi Jessica,.

    Thus it has no option to prevent recipients of transfer the pdf file. However you can check this blog How can I prevent someone to send a PDF file?, it might be useful.

    Kind regards

  • I am using captivate 8. The clarity of the published files are poor with black lines on the screen. Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello

    I use 8 Captivate. The clarity of the published files are very poor. It has black lines on the published file. Please suggest if there is a solution for this issue.

    Thank you

    Saida

    Hmm, Milot, why change the top instead of optimized to drag a quality which is the default setting in CP8? And why to substitute the quality of the blade in the preferences, if it is already set to high? I would like to know the reason, always eager to learn. I know that sometimes high leads to reduce the size of the file, but did not know that there has been better.

    My advice would have been to uncheck all the Compression settings in the preferences, size and quality. And I would like to know if the project has been recalibrated, if images have been resized.

    Hello

    Acrobat X doesn't support office in 2013. You will need to upgrade to Acrobat 11.0.1 or higher to use the feature to create a PDF file.

    Otherwise, you can open the Word file and print to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer. But it is not as rich as the one created by PDFMaker.

  • How can I wrap text on several lines when make an editable PDF file?

    I'm transforming shape study guide PDF in a document that can be typed directly to. Some questions have multiple answers lines, so when I convert the shape into something editable, she designs each as separate individual line entry. I want to be able to type on one line and that the text wrap down to the other lines. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Here is an example...

    text wrap.PNG

    How am I able to get the text typed in these 4 lines to wrap to the next line?

    Thank you

    -Jake

    Edit: If I can't do this in Acrobat DC, is there any other software do know you who can afford to do this?

    You can use a single multi-line text field. Just remove the three substantive fields, make the upper field taller, then tab of the field properties dialog box Options, select the option "multiline". If the underlying form lines, set the background color to white to only show through, since they will probably not match line spacing. You may be able to set the font size to fit well.

  • IMAQ OCR read text - read several lines

    Hello

    I'm trying to read multiple lines of text that are placed in different areas of the image from an image.

    So far I used for each line a different OCR read vi with an another KING descriptor text.

    Is it possible to use only an OCR read text vi for all lines and make the block diagram more sleeker look and application work more efficiently?

    I really need to use 20 text reading OCR, popular vi with 20 recatangles for the reading of 20 different lines?

    Thank you

    As far as I know - no, its impossible.

    Otherwise, you don't need to put 20 reading OCR instances on the BD - you can do it with ' loop for "with 20 iterations.

  • Fillable PDF of Acrobat forms do not seem to work with third-party PDF readers. No way to avoid this?

    I wish that adobe would make their more accessible and easy to use PDF forms making them compatible third-party PDF readers. I do extensive PDF forms that have embedded fonts, and they only work with Adobe reader software. Huge problem when there are so many other PDF readers out there. Form is basically corrupt and fonts disappear or is replaced that is not supposed to happen. How to avoid a customer called me to say that the form does not work?

    They ask a Word file at the place where they are able to change fonts, colors, size, etc.. Why Adobe cannot make forms more accessible by allowing the user to change fonts if necessary?

    Also, when I try to add a window where a customer can add their own photos with a bit of javascript and function button, the only eligible image type is a PDF. Why not a jpeg file for more photos are jpeg file?

    It seems to me that engineers do jumps and limits of improvements on programs like Photoshop but kind of not paying attention to the fact of this PDF file are used for current affairs all the time. The PDF format has enormous potential in the place of the market, but the fact that the forms do not work on third party PDF readers and the fact that the fonts in the forms is not modifiable by the end-user in the extended format is a huge problem.

    There's really nothing adobe can do on the functions of the software how not Adobe. The PDF standard is no longer controlled by Adobe, it is controlled by the ISO. Some PDF viewers choose to have no support for forms, some have good enough support, and some (such as preview) are simply malicious. There are a lot of non Adobe software that creates PDF files bad, and that does not almost using Acrobat/Reader. Still, this isn't Adobe can solve a problem.

    With respect, allowing the image with the buttonImportIcon method and the reader formats, I know that sent a feature request for this. Reader 11 is the first release since Reader 5 that supports this, so I have hope for the future. In the meantime, it is pretty easy these days to convert an image in PDF format. Same preview can do.
