Acrobat Standard 8.0
On some documents the Properties Toolbar is disabled - greyed out - displaying only colour and plain dropdown – all inactive) irrespectively what is clicked, on some others pdfs it works fine. The security is NONE always. Document can be text, bitmaps – it does not matter. It looks as random.
The tollbar is always active on locally created documents, but on others in hit and miss game.
How can I enable the properties toolbar when it is greyed out.
I have noticed similar question posted on the forum last year – still not answered.
Control+e will bring up the Properties Toolbar. Are these PDFs you're having difficulty with created using Acrobat (Distiller or PDFMaker) or another program? Do you see this issue primarily with the Typewriter tool? If so, it might be a focus issue.
Hope this helps,
Lori
