How to highlight in Reader

Hi,
I cannot seem to highlight texts in my document. I have a PC with windows 8.0 (i think). What i have been doing is hitting "comments", then "annotations" then "highlight text". However, when I try to highlight a text it never works.
Please assist.

It could be that the pdf is a scanned image so there's no real text to highlight.
If that's the case, you could use the rectangle tool in "Drawing markups" to draw a box around the text. After that, right-clink on the box and choose properties. You can play around with the fill color and opacity until you get what you want. Then click "Make properties default" if you have more work to do so you won't have to mess with properties again.

  • How to highlight text with Adobe Reader XI?

    Thanks. The PDF file was made from a web site article and I guess this is the same as scanned as I cannot highlight.  The cursor changes but cannot highlight what I want.
    I was able to add text and I did this in Red and will ask the VA to read under the sections marked in Red.
    Thanks,

    Regarding the cursor moving on its own, see:

    This is not known behavior of Flashback.  To make sure you're not infected, just install any updates that are available in Software Update.  For more info on this, see About the Flashback malware.
    That e-mail just sounds like a phishing attempt, and trying to open and view the attached zip file is a major error!  It probably contains malware.  Fortunately for you, it's almost certainly Windows malware, as I've never yet heard of a case of Mac malware being sent via e-mail in this way.  But it could happen, so you should never, ever open attachments from people you don't know, especially in such suspicious circumstances!
    Finally, I, like etresoft, have never heard of Avira.  There's a lot of bad AV software out there, so without knowing more about it, I would agree that it should be removed, using whatever uninstaller is provided by Avira.  If you want to use AV software, use either Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition or ClamXav.  Both are free and excellent.

    how to highlight a scanned doc with adobe reader x?

    Upgrade to Reader XI and you'll be able to use non text-related highlighting tools, such as the square, oval, cloud, polygon, etc.
    With Reader X these tools are only available if the author applied a special right to the file. In Reader XI they're available by default.

  • How to highlight text in JTextField?

    Hi all, I know this is a very simple question but I just couldn't find its solution and I'm rushing for my project.
    My question is: how to highlight all the text in JTextField when it gets focus?
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Janet

    You have to add a FocusListener in the JTextField and override the focusGained() method to select all the text with JTextField.selectAll().
    class MyFrame {
      JTextField text = new JTextField();
      // when creating the frame
      text.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
        public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
          doSelectAllText(); 
      void doSelectAllText() {
        text.selectAll();
    }Hope this help.

  • Q:  how to highlight PDF created via scanner?

    hi:
    1. i'm going to assume that this is a very basic question but i can't figure out how to highlight text in a PDF file that i created via flatbed scanner.
    2. i have no problem highlighting PDF files that i may have created via the web, but for some unclear reason, when i try to highlight stuff in a PDF file that was created via my scanner, nothing happens.
    thanks for any feedback / suggestions. harry

    >but for some unclear reason, when i try to highlight stuff in a PDF file that was created via my scanner, nothing happens.
    It's very clear. You're trying to highlight text that doesn't exist. It's just a picture of text.
    Google OCR or look for the same topic in the Acrobat help files. You "may" be able to convert it to text. Then you can highlight it.

  • How to highlight tree item ?

    Hello everybody !
    I have a question : how to highlight a tree item on a condition ? (please see the attached vi and the pictures for a clearer explanation of the problem)
    I am using LabView 2014.
    Thank you very much !

    Have patience.  You only aske the question about 40 minutes earlier.
    You highlight rows like you want by writing values to the tree control.  Don't mess with cell background color.
    Are you trying to highlight multiple items?  If so, then right click on the control and allow it to select 0 or more items.  As soon as you select a mode with the possibility of more than one item, the tree values become an array of strings rather than just a string.  You will need to build an array of strings that you will write to the control's local variable to highlight the multiple items.

  • How to highlight one face in a photo

    I have seen this done, but, so far I can't figure out how to:
    Highlight one face (out of several) in a photo; e.g., use the ellipse or circle selection tool around the face, then make the background(?) around that face lighter the the surrounding areas (or apply a light tint to the selection).
    I think it is done with a mask, but I can't get that to work.  I have tried searching the Help file.  I have tried searching this forum, but, apparently, I am not using the correct search citeria.  I have even tried reading through the Photoshop Classroom in a Book.
    This is probably a very basic piece of knowledge, but at the moment, it is beyond me.  I could use some help with a step-by-step procedure.
    I have Photoshop CS2 (v. 9.0.2) on a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium M processor, 2 GB RAM, and Win XP/Pro SP3.
    Thanks.

    I like to brighten faces like this:
    1.  Select the Dodge tool from the Tools panel.
    2.  Set the tool to Midtones, a small percentage (say, 20%), and check the [ ] Protect Tones box.
    3.  Paint over the centers of the faces you want to make stand out better.

  • How to highlight menu button

    I am trying to figure out how to highlight the menu play button so when being used on a TV you can tell that your on the button.
    Thanks

    Hi:
    You said you did add some buttons, then you must have some shape or text assigned to that button. Right? Select one of those buttons and in the button properties, in the Style tab, check you have a color (i.e yellow) in Selected Highlight property and the Opacity slide shows something more than zero. Try with that slider to max (15).
    If you have a text assigned to that button cjheck in the same tab your Include Text in Highlight checkbox is selected.
