Highlight document

I want to highlight certain parts of a PDF file and save it. I have clicked on the highlight icon and it won't allow me to highlight the document. I have even saved it and then tried to highlight it. I have noticed there are some PDF documents that I can highlight and some that I can't. Any suggestions?

Well, it's not actually highlighting and it definitely isn't as easy but if it's a scanned document, you can use the drawing markups tools in Reader XI to draw boxes around the text.
You can right-click your first box and play with the fill properties until you have a transparent yellow over the text. Then you can select "Make properties default" so you don't have to do that every time you use a box.
The unfortunate part is that it does dull the text (the color overlays it) so it's not as good as the highlight tool.

Highlighting documents results from Text via Apex

Hi, I have an application that search user defined text into various documents and publish the results as a link to download the original document.
It is possible to open the document with the corresponding string highlighted in any way?
Documents are mostly pdf files but can be word or other format too.
I know that it can be hard or impossible but maybe not...
Thanks a lot.

You can use the oracle text procedure markup to produce an html version of the document with your search terms hilighted and then use htp.prn to output the generated clob out to the web browser. All sorts of documents can be rendered as html this way. MS Office Docs, pdfs, etc.
There are two markup procedures. One, markup, uses an oracle text index, the other, policy_markup, does not but needs an oracle text policy created.
Hope this help,
Mike

How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time?

How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time? Right now, when I'm trying to highlight documents to export, I have to click on each document individually. Is there a way to highlight one document while scrolling down the list until all desired documents are highlighted? I would like to rapidly be able to do this to save time when I am exporting or saving multiple files from my documents to an external drive, CD-Rom or cloud storage.

Highlighting text (as in Word)

Hi - Is is possible to highlight text, that is color over text, in a similar way to how it can be done in Word. I use this feature in Word a lot for editing & redrafting purposes!
Many thanks!

*A slightly more efficient system of highlighting text: (and possibly slightly more efficient than MSword as well as you can highlight text with a keyboard shortcut after a simple initial setup.)*
*+step 1+*
select text. apply background colour.
*+step 2+*
open styles drawer through menu or shiftcmdt
*+step 3+*
_select again_ the text you applied the b/g colour to previously. in the styles drawer, under character styles, click the little upside-down triangle and click +create new character style from selection+. name your style.
( *+step 4+* - *Keyboard shortcut and use* )
click on the upside-down triangle for options on your new style and add a hotkey. f6 works fine as it's not usually already assigned to another function. _*now, highlight away by selecting text and either clicking on the highlight style in the styles drawer, or simply pressing f6.*_
( *+step 5+* )
to maintain the highlight style you created in the styles drawer as a default style for all documents, use this tip by Dennis from another post
+Start with a blank document, set it up the way you want (fonts, views, rulers, styles, etc.), then click on File > Save As Template. Finally, click on Pages > Preferences > and set that template as your startup document. That way, every time Pages opens, you'll have your preferred styles right there handy.+
If you don't want to mess with templates for some odd reason, you can always import the style from a previously highlighted document to which the style you created is attached. Use Format -> +Import Styles+

How to change height of highlight

I am highlighting some text in a document that I converted from a web page using the converter in Acrobat. The highlighting height is about 2 lines of text high, so as I highlight one line it also highlights half of the line above and half of the line below the line I am highlighting. This makes the highlighting very imprecise. It's like highlighting with a very wide, dull highlighter. This doesn't usually happen when I highlight documents, but is happening on this particular document. I can't find any means to modify the height of the highlighter. I am using Acrobat Professional X version 10.1.13.
Here's an example:
Thanks for a fix.

The highlighter uses the underlying "box" that defines each word. You'll see it acts the same when you select it with the mouse.
This could be the result of an imperfect OCR process, or a bad PDF engine used to create the file. Basically there's not much you can do about it.

OS 4.5 Documents to Go update to 1.0050 OTA fails

Yesterday, I upgraded to OS 4.5 and all seems well. I am trying to obtain the update for Documents to Go to version 1.0050 which will allow the functionality for Excel spreadsheets. I went to Data Viz and requested the update and a link was sent to my Curve 8830. When I try to get the update via OTA it claims an incompatability issue and then after I confirm to continue the download fails. I have not found a way to download a computer version of the update so that I can upgrade via the PC. Has anyone successfully updated to Docs to Go version 1.0050 (with Excel)?
thanks, todd.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Finally got Docs to Go to upgrade properly and now I have Sheet to Go. See link:
http://support.dataviz.com/support.srch?docid=14238&pid=186
I had to use the alternate install, but first deleting the original version of Docs to Go. The first run through alternate install did not work. After a delete and reboot it worked OK.
I get a "907 Invalid COD" error when trying to download and install Documents To Go on my BlackBerry.
Document ID: 14238 << Back Last Reviewed: 11/25/2008 Printer FriendlyProblem:I get a "907 Invalid COD" error when trying to download and install Documents To Go on my BlackBerry.Solution:A "907 invalid COD" error happens when Documents To Go cannot find specific components needed during installation. This problem can occur if there is an interruption (such as a network failure) during the download & installation of Documents To Go on the phone, which can cause some of the application components to fail to download.
To resolve this problem, try these suggestions:
OTA Installation
First, try to redownload the application again by using the link sent to you from DataViz, or by visitingwww.dataviz.com on your BlackBerry web browser.
Alternative InstallationIf you are still having problems, there is another way to install Documents To Go. Click the following link and follow the steps for "Alternative installation":
Alternative Installation
Uninstall/Reboot/Reinstall
If you still receive the "907 Invalid COD" error when attempting the alternative installation, you will need to uninstall Documents To Go, reboot the phone, and then reinstall Documents To Go. To do so, please follow these steps:
Open the Options application on your BlackBerry, and go to Advanced Options > Applications.
Scroll down to highlight Documents To Go, then press the Menu button and select Delete.
When asked if you want to delete Documents To Go, select Delete.
While the BlackBerry is still powered on, remove the battery.
Reinsert the battery and turn the power back on.
Reinstall Documents To Go (you can try either the OTA installation or the Alternative installation).

Selecting text for highlighting

Why am I able in some documents to use a bar cursor that allows me to block text, while in other documents all I get is a x-pointer that does not allow me to block text for highlighting?

Block? You can only select and highlight documents that actually contain text; you cannot do that with scanned documents (images), unless they are OCRed.

How do I automatically insert a file's filename in a header in the file?

The newest version of NUMBERS seems to have lost the function for inserting a filename into the header of a printed document. Any suggestions?

I miss that feature too. A workaround would be to Command-Click the document name in the Print Preview window and select the second line in the file path that is displayed. That will cause a Finder Window to open, with the current Numbers file highlighted. Click once on the highlighted document name, Command-C to Copy, Click back on the Numbers window and click in the Header field and Command-V to Paste.
This avoids all typing into the header, but the result is just a piece of text, not an object that will automatically update. It seems that if we want all the functionality of iWork '09, we must choose to use iWork '09.

Adobe Acrobat, protecting Images in a Fillable form?

I am a graphic designer and am using Adobe Acrobat X pro to create fillable invitations, labels and such
what I want is that my client cannot print the file without filling "required" field.....
Also , no one can edit it even if they open via acrobat pro
or maybe some way I can protect my images from printing without text?
One more question
How can i make a floating textbox, which increases if text increases and is not fixed size?
Thank you so much
Marie

Hi Marie,
Here is a more relevant earlier thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3778703#3778703
In post no. 3 of that thread, Gilad D provided the following script:
if (getField("Account1").value=="" || getField("Account2").value=="")
app.alert("Please fill out the following fields: Account 1, Account 2.",3);
You replace "AccountX" with your form's field name(s).
In Acrobat 9, this is how you create a WillPrint document action:
1. Choose Advanced > Document Processing > Set Document Actions.
2. Highlight Document Will Print.
3. Click Edit
4. Paste the script into the window and click OK.
I'm not sure if it is the same in Acrobat X, but give it a try.
The script will work if they click the print icon in the toolbar or if they choose File > Print.
Note that the document will still print, but they will get an alert informing them of which fields are required. The user will always be able to print a document if they click the print icon or choose File > Print. If you want to prevent them from printing, then you need to get them to click a print button that you have created and that includes a script.
You can do the same thing for a Will Save action.

Problems when opening an ebook in Preview with Macbook Pro

Hello,
My issue is with the application "preview" that comes with the Macbook Pro. Recently (3-4 months), whenever I open a text book or ebook within preview and after I highly 2-3 things it will save the changes for those highlights. The problem here is that a tab will pop up saying "Saving 3 highlight documents" etc. and it will show a loading bar and that load bar takes longer than it should to save the changes. It use to just take a few seconds and lately it has been taking so long and while it is saving the changes I cant close, minimize, or scroll thoughout the preview application. Also, 80% of the time my whole laptop will freeze and then turn black and than after about 5-15 minutes it comes back like nothing happened.
Anyone else having this issue? And if so, did you manage to find a way to fix it some how?
Thanks!
Shaya
P.S.
I just purchased my macbook 8 months ago from online and use it strickly for school only.

Remember to open the specific folder when you go file-open in dreamweaver.

Hi, everytime I go to 'file - open', the default folder under 'look in' is 'my documents'. Once I opened a local folder in dreamweaver, I need dreamweaver to remember that folder for all the time.
I know I can modify required folder as a default folder in words 2003 this way: Tools - Options - File Locations - highlight Documents - click Modify - browse the folder I need the application to remember.
The question is what is the equivalent this in dreamweaver to modify, just like in word?
Thank you for your help,

If you go to Window | Files and select the site you are working on (screen shot posted), then when you go to File | Open, it will take you to that sites root folder. Is that what you were looking for?

PDF files keep coming with old file name not as current file name

Hi,
I have a problem when exporting InDesign docs to PDF with some documnets. If I change the name in the export dialog box, then every time I export this doc to PDF in the future this name keep coming, even when I change the name of the document or save it in a new name. This causes confusion, since sometimes the name is completely different from the InDesign file name. What can be done to tell InDesign to save the exported PDF file according to the current file name and don’t remember the old PDF file name?
I was thinking of a script, is there a ready one to use?
Thanks

Thanks for the tips, very useful indeed.
Though it is bit hard to have everyone in the studio follow them as a routine. I way I used to do this is to go to Save as command, with right mouse I choose copy the highlighted document name, then I choose cancel, then when I choose to export I'll paste the the name which is the current file name, this is good for me, but I wouldn't dream of having this as a routine for everyone in the studio.
I was thinking it would be easy if I can find a script, since I don't know scripting, to do just that, i.e. have Indesign to copy the current filename of the document (whether by doing the same trick as I am doing or if there is a direct command to do that in the script), then the script will go to the export dialog box, paste that name, then I will go on with the normal export dialog box options.
This script will be easier to have everybody in the studio to follow.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Change base file name

Does anyone know how to change the Base File Name so that the 0001 0002 etc is not added on to scans?

Hi CitiChic,
Thank you for answering my questions! To change the base file name please try the following:
Open HP Solution Center. (Should be an icon on your desktop).
Click Scan Document within the Start Activity section.
Highlight Document to PDF File on the left hand side.
Click Change Settings on the right hand side (right above the scan and cancel buttons).
Click on Save to file Save Options.
There you can edit the Base file name and click OK.
Here is a screenshot that may help as well.
To get it so the number in sequence is not appended to the base file name, I would try selecting the Overwrite existing files with the same file name option. We can see if that will work.
Hope this answers your question, and have a great day!
