The Grid funcion "View" - "Show/Hide" - "Rulers & Grid" - "Grid" or by simply using Ctrl U on or off is also a useful function when attempting to line up objects and text boxes. if you were not aware of this you can set up the rulers to be displayed by clicking on "View" - "Show/Hide" - "Rulers & Grid" - "Rulers" or by simply using Ctrl R on or off.
Otherwise, Acrobat XI in their infinite wisedom fails to recognize the "Grouped" affect and only moves one portion of your new Grouped objects. NOTE: To be able to move the now supposedly "Group" objects, you have to make sure all objects have the heavy blueish somewhat vibrating outline around them. Then go back to the "Selection tool for text and images" arrow, and click on the objects to be grouped, right click and select "Group". Go to the newly created file and click Edit - Paste (Ctrl V) and then move the objects to where you want them to be displayed. When all objects have the heavy blueish somewhat vibrating outline around them, Right click on top of the objects and select "Edit" - "Copy" (Ctrl C). Holding the Ctrl key down, select the additional objects desired to be copied as the same time. Go back to the "Select an Object" arrow and re-select the first desired object. Go back to the "Selection tool for text and images" arrow, and click on the "Grouped" object, right click and select "Ungroup". You must first "Ungroup" the objects and then you can proceed as follows: However, this simple cut & paste function will not work for any two or more "text box / objects" that are "grouped" together. Go to the newly created file and click Edit - Paste (Ctrl V) and then move the object to where you want it to be displayed. Right click on top of the object and select "Edit" - "Copy" (Ctrl C). If it is a single object (text box or stamp logo) the box should have a heavy blueish somewhat vibrating outline around it. Using the "Select an Object" arrow - left click on the selected object to copy. One of them is actually a "Select an Object" arrow and the the other is a "Selection tool for text and images" arrow. There may be what appears to be two (2) Select Arrows on your menu bars or toolbars. I just spent over an hour waiting on a support tech call back, only to have the call come in and now I am on hold until who know when.
Certainly the "800" help line from far off land are no help whats so ever that I can find, even if you can understand what they are saying. I just figured it out by accident, which seems to be the way of Acrobat XI.
#How to highlight and copy text in pdf how to
how to simply "cut & paste" text boxes either as a single text box / object or a selected group of text boxes / objects from an existing PDF into a newly created PDF file.įor people like myself that re-use previously created grouped text boxes or objects, this is a must when one uses the same stuff over and over. Far too many "workable" features from past versions have been left in the dust and those of us who actively use Acrobat to edit PDF files are having a hard time understanding why various changes have been made for no apparent operational benefit.Ĭase in point.
