Keyboard shortcuts don't work in some documents
« on: April 17, 2024, 05:48:23 PM »
Someone has posed this question before, but no one answered it and it's been a couple of years since, so trying to see if I'll have more luck than them.

Like the subject says, in some PDF's (created by others) I find that keyboard shortcuts don't work.  I can still do use menus and toolbars to invoke commands, but I don't have the ability to do so with key-in's.  I use Revu 20, for what it's worth.  Anyone know of a way to get the key-in's to work in these situations?

Sounds like classic locked behavior: you can do various things in the PDF, but maybe not draw a line, or not print, or not rotate pages. It may seem entirely random, but often these restrictions are part of the security settings for that PDF.

Try hitting ctrl-L and seeing what alterations, if any, are restricted for that document. I suspect you'll find your answer.
