    So the advice to pick up your plants and shake them is great advice for tomato plants! It causes the pollen from one part of the flower to fall into the receiving part of the same flower, mimicking what bees and the wind do. While picking up the whole plant is not necessary, flicking the flowers with your fingers every day will increase your yield dramatically. So perhaps ChatGPT is partly correct. Regardless, obviously, it is nowhere near being sophisticated.

    • @scieditor

      It's common for software to change function without notice, but the usual problem is that the PDF is being viewed in a web browser and not in the full Acrobat program (either Reader or Pro).

    Yes, but how do I get rid of the ribbons on the left side and change the font color back to black?

    • @scieditor
      @scieditor Рік тому

      By "ribbons", do you mean the red lines in the margin indicating there is a tracked change on that line? Switch to "no markup" or "final view." That will also hide all of the tracking so all the type looks black. You can also "accept all changes" (or reject) to make this permanent. There's a lot more to do with Track Changes, which is covered at great length in the book (eiw365.com). Thanks for your question.

    • @southamcaballero

    Terrific presentation, Adrienne 🙌🏼🙌 If we don't know where, on the hockey stick, can we better estimate the rate of change, the rate of development? As in, say the 3x improvement between v3 and v4, that you noted, if compared with what happened between v2 and 3 - and then with 4, and 5 ... Can that be a useful predictor, so, not about where, but more about when we will get there?

      @DanielaEmmi 7 років тому

      The easiest way it to copy and paste your text into Word, change your font size as you need and copy and paste back into the callout box/text box. If you have more than one textbox, make the properties of your current textbox the default property. Every textbox created after, will have those properties. You can also copy and paste your textbox and just change the text.

    • @scieditor
      @scieditor 5 років тому

      The easiest way is to double-click in a box, select all the text, the change the properties. Click cmd + E (or ctrl + E) to access properties. If you only click once you'll get properties for the box, not for the text inside it.

      Fill in the user settings in your software. This sets the name that is displayed with your annotations and comments. In Reader XI, those details are set in preferences, under “Identity.” (on the Mac version)

  • @salvor1
    @salvor1 10 років тому

    There are a lot of names floating around that need to be explained. Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat seem to be different. Now your video has Acrobat Reader -very confusing. I'm using Adobe Reader XI --could have been v11, but no, it's a roman X with a 1 or is it a small 'L' (l)? or is it a capital 'i' (I) ? or the uppercase line over the return button - (|) ? W H Y ? -The romans used roman numerals -they didn't have computers or google searches -let it go. Sorry if you're reading frustration, but this is making me a little nuts and I don't have time for this. I'm just trying to fill out a PDF form (fill in the blanks), using the SIGN and ADD TEXT buttons -which makes NO SENSE that you add text under a SIGN button. tried the COMMENT button -no difference -- I can add text -it flips back to a default font whenever it likes-- you can't put the text where you want ---you can move it only when the 'arrow' shows up where the cursor isn't, at irritatingly random times and not when you want to --most times you cannot edit text--can't 'enter' to a new line---i don't know how many times i have had to delete and fill in the whole form again --highlighting does nothing--can't delete anything -only place the cursor and delete a letter at a time or backspace a letter at a time, when it randomly allows you to do this -but mostly not at all ---this is the MOST irritating program i have ever used.

    • @scieditor
      @scieditor 10 років тому

      Hugs to you, friend. Some of the frustration you're feeling is because they keep changing the names of the product and of the tools within it. - Let's go off into a big canyon and scream. So, at present, the free version shown in the demo is called Adobe Reader XI. That's eleven. Adobe is the name of the company; they used to make a program called Acrobat that had three versions: Standard, Pro, and the free Reader. Whee, let's throw all the names in a bag and see what new combos come out! (The "polygon line tool" is now a "draw connected lines" tool. Though, probably, more people understand what it does now. And the "Text Edits" are now "Annotations" - which may also make sense since you can actually change (edit) the words in a PDF with the Pro version of the program not just annotate (mark up) what is on the page.) As for the rest of your frustration: let's call that a "feature" and just pour ourselves another tall one. If you're interested in another level of frustration, the tools available change depending on whether the program opens on its own or within a browser. I wrote that up here: blog.catchthesun.net/2014/06/common-snag-with-adobe-reader-for-proofreading/ Cheers.
