Open comment pop-ups for highlighted text (on Adobe Reader for Android)

On my computer, I use the software Docear which allows to import highlighted text and comments from pdf documents. This function in Docear only works, if the reader copies highlighted text into the comment fields at the moment of highlighting. When using a reader on a PC, the settngs can be adjusted in order that this works. (Preferences>Commenting>Automatically open comment pop-ups for comments other than notes).
It would be very practical for me to do this on my tablet (Android). However, as far as I know, this is not possible in the Adobe Reader for Android. Or is there any possibility to do this? If not,would it be possible to include this on a wishlist?

Hi,
This functionality is not available for Adobe Reader on Android. However, we have made a note of the same and shall try to incorporate it in one of our future releases.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

Highlight text in adobe reader for android

Dear Adobe Reader Team,
I've had a problem with my adobe reader for android version 11.5.0
It's not highlighting any text or doesn't even select it when I scroll over.
Kindly help me with this Problem.
Thank you in advance.

It sounds like you have a scanned PDF document. Because a scanned PDF document contains images of text (not real text), you will not be able to select text or highlight it. You can still add Freehand drawing and/or sticky notes to a scanned PDF document.
To recognize text in a scanned PDF document, you need to run special Text Recognition software. Adobe Acrobat (a paid product) offers the capability, where as free Adobe Reader products do not.

How to highlight text with Adobe Reader XI?

email [email protected]

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,

Can I create a digital id for electronic signatures in adobe reader for ipad?

Can I create a digital id for electronic signatures in adobe reader for ipad?

No, digital signatures are not supported in Reader for iOS.

Adobe Reader for Mac vs. Adobe Reader for iPad

Hi,
I have a problem with Adobe Reader for iPad. The pdf-file works perfect with Acrobat Reader on my iMac.
The pdf-file has an option to change a number of parameters in counting the total cost for owning a car.
Obviously, there is some interactivity function inbedded in the file.
When I opened the same pdf-file in Adobe Reader app for iPad the functionality is lost and it shows just
a blank page.
Has anyone an explanation of this problem or suggestions of a solution?
I have tried different pdf-apps i.e. Goodreader without any solution.
Can the problem be Flash-related?
Best regards
Janne

Highlight texts in Adobe Reader and Acrobat

I need to highlight the texts/words in Adobe Reader and Acrobat as well. Is there any common function/API available for both?

How do I highlight text in adobe reader PDF files?

Hi, I am Samyak Veera From US.
By highlight I mean changing the colour of the selected text, like the function in word. Or do I have to paste the whole article into word to highlight it? How it possible.
Thanks
Samyak Veera

Highlighting and changing the text color is not the same thing!
Adobe Reader can highlight text by using the Highlight tool. This can only be done one real text, not "text" on a scanned image.
To change the text color you will need Acrobat.

How do I unhighlight text in Adobe Reader for Android?

I understand that it's been recently updated, maybe it changed? I've been fiddling w/ it for a while & nothing. Tried redoing the highlighting action, tried tapping the text & clear, or changing the color back to white. Still stays yellow. How do I unhighlight it?

If you cannot select text, then there is no real text there but an image of text.

Problem with highlighting texts in Adobe Reader X

i've a problem with the highlighting tool, it can only highlight one word at a time, it isn't possible for me to drag and highlight. i've tried updating but to no avail. in addition, i can't use the snapshoot tool either. basically any function that requires a click-and-drag motion is disabled. i'd greatly appreciate it if a kind soul may help me with this issue please!! thank you very much!

PDF files have to be specially enabled for you to save the contents. It appears the old version of these files had this capability, but the new version does not. Without Acrobat you will be unable to save the files. If these are truly government files, you can try going to the government's website and see if you can download a copy that will allow you to save the form field data.

How to restore files from Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad)?

I started using Adobe Reader for iOS to annote and comment pdf files. I used the Adobe Reader for Mac OS to upload the files to the Acrobat.com cloud.
Opening the files on iPad worked pretty straight forward and I started editing the pdf right away. When opening the pdf again a couple of days later on iPad, the app downloaded the pdf again in an older version with a couple of annotations present, but a couple of the more recent missing. This is a very disturbing behaviour since I cannot understand why it would sync an older version of the pdf from the cloud over the newer one. Luckily, this was no very important edit, but I will be very hesitant to use this feature in the future if there is a likelyhood for this happening again. Is there any possibility to recover the file with the original edits from the iPad?
The second thing that I don't understand is the mismatch of files shown in the adobe creative cloud and on acrobat.com when using the acrobat reader. 2 of the files I uploaded can be seen in both the adobe creative cloud and in the 'acrobat.com' cloud (is that a different thing?) as can be accessed from adobe reader on Mac OS. However, there are also files that can be accessed exclusively from the adobe creative cloud and files that can be accessed exclusively from the 'acrobat.com' cloud. I don't really understand the difference and how to sync the two.
Help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

AnAppleADay,
I personally agree that having two separate Adobe cloud storage services (Acrobat.com and Creative Cloud) is confusing and undesirable. However, I am not able to speculate on Adobe products or services in future releases.
There is no direct way to download files on Acrobat.com to your iPad/iPhone. However, you can download files from Acrobat.com via the web browser interface (https://cloud.acrobat.com/files) on your Windows or Mac desktop/laptop computer.
Then you can (a) email them to yourself and open them in Adobe Reader on your iPad, which results in storing the files locally on your iPad, or (b) use the desktop version of iTunes to transfer the files from your computer to your iPad. (It's convoluted. But I am not aware of any other options.) However, if you uninstall Adobe Reader for iOS, the operating system will erase all of associated application data including locally stored PDF documents.
I suspect that your problem is related to changes not being saved to Acrobat.com properly (not about syncing to an older version). When you make a lot of changes to a PDF document (e.g adding annotations or filling out forms), I'd recommend closing the modified PDF document occasionally, which forces Adobe Reader to save the changes to Acrobat.com. You will have less chance of losing changes due to unexpected problems or defects in Adobe Reader.
Please let us know if you know the steps to reproduce the problem (of losing changes) with a particular file on Acrobat.com. We can investigate the problem.
Thank you.

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

When will Adobe Reader for iOS support Livecycle XFA forms?

Adobe Reader for iOS currently does not appear to support XFA forms created through Livecycle. Although it supports some field types, the HTTP submit and Email submit buttons don't work.
Being able to email the completed form ready for someone else to submit would be a work around, however when attempting to 'share' a completed form and send it by email the form is blank when saved and opened in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a PC.
We are getting more and more requests from ipad users who wish to use our forms, and it seems that some other paid-for apps claim to support this. Seeing as Adobe Reader is the industry standard product for using PDFs could we have more support for pdf forms please?
...or at the very least, a product roadmap with some dates for when this might be available please?

Is it possible to view "Attach File" annotations in Adobe Reader for iPhone 5s?

Most of my annotations transfer well from Adobe Reader XI to Reader for iOS but "Attach File" annotations don't seem to carry over. I would like to be able to attach image and video files and have them function on an iOS device.
Versions:
iOS: 7.0.4
Adobe Reader iOS: 11.2.1
Adobe Reader Windows: XI 11.0.0
It would also be nice to have the same comment tracking functionality that exists in the desktop version. Knowing when and by whom each comment was made would be helpful in the field.

Thanks for your feedback. Adobe Reader for iOS does not support attaching of images and videos at the moment.
We have taken note of both your requests.

How can I copy or print all text highlights in Adobe Reader for Android?

I read many tech books as pdfs. And highlight the parts I want to note.
Since I am now reading them on an Android Tablet using Adobe Reader for Android, I need to find a way to move my highlights to a separate doc when I am done reading. I don't see instructions for this anywhere.
How can I copy all text highlights at once from a document?
And / or
How can I print all text highlights from a document?
Thanks,

Thanks.
Kindle Reader will let me do that with Kindle books and docs that I buy from
Amazon, but not with personal docs (such as pdfs) that I import, unfortunately.
Is a VERY useful feature!
