Can't highlight text in a PDF

I have the following problem, which I don't understand.
I need to read some texts for my UNI, but to it is it to print too much paper and ink consumption above to see.
So, I decided as a PDF to leave and read this. Only, I can not unfortunately mark diestellen which I consider important, why, does is nothing when I use the texmarker. No colour to see and also a tool for the intensity of the color displays. What is it and what do I do now?
Please help me.

Hallo Yoyoko,
das tut mir Leid, vielleicht beschreibe ich meine Vorgehensweise Schritt für Schritt:
Zum Öffnen, der pdf-Datei benutze ich den kostenlosen Adobe Reader XI.
In der Menüleiste ist das eingestellte "Auswahlwerkzeug" zu sehen,
damit erst kann ich per festgehaltener linker Maustaste ausgewählten Text oder Bilder markieren.
Was auch funktioniert ist dieses Menü:
Auch mit meinem Adobe Acrobat XI Pro funktioniert das so.

  • Is there a way to control Adobe PDF plugin from within a Web Application? For Example, Can we highlight text in the PDF/A document programatically?

    Hi,
    I am trying to open a PDF document in browser using Adobe PDF plug-in for IE 9. The plugin version is 10.x
    I need to highlight certain text in the PDF document ( which is searchable) programmatically. For example, when a user selects certain text on the web-page, we want to automatically highlight that in the PDF document.

    I don't think this is a question one can answer by simply downloading the SDK. And even if one reads all the documentation (it rarely happens for obvious reasons), it is not easy to reach an answer because its explanation is not trivial at all.
    In my own opinion, this is right the type of question to be put and (hopefully) answered in a Forum.
    Now, I am not sure about the correct answer but I will give one hint.
    If I am not wrong, the Internet Explorer, IE, PDF viewer by Adobe is actually a .dll file which is put under IE once Adobe Reader is installed. A custom plug-in for Reader or Acrobat is also a .dll file (Windows) but its extension is .api and it needs to be copied under Reader or Acrobat (or both). Therefore, I don't see how we can merge the IE viewer .dll with a custom plug-in .api. Though maybe technically possible, I don't think it is something we can do.
    If above reasoning is correct, the answer to the question is No.

  • How can I highlight text in a document scanned in pdf format?

    How can I highlight text in a document scanned in a pdf format?

    If it wasn't OCRed in Acrobat then you can only use the non-text commenting tools, like the Square or Polygon. Press Ctrl+E to open the Properties bad and you could make it look like a text highlight annotation.

  • How can I highlight text

    How can I highlight text in PDFs on adobe.ccom?

    Hi hervorheben,
    If the file is saved on Acobat.com, you need to download it and open it in Reader (or Acrobat) to use the commenting tools (including the Highlight tool). To download a file, log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, select the file that you want to work on, and click the Download link at the top of the page.
    Best,

  • How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

    How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

    You have to remember that Digital Editions was never designed to have 'text
    editor' capabilities.  BTW: Bluefire and Overdrive also have such
    limitations.  Put in another frame of reference, DE presents you with the
    ebook, as you would be presented with a physical printed book.

  • How can I copy text from a PDF document in bb pbk?

    I've tried to copy a text from a PDF document but adobe reader doesn't give me that option. How can I do it? or there is a better reader for PDF that allows to copy, make bookmarks, to highlights?

    If the PDF is not an IMAGE, you can using a free program called PDF-XChange Viewer from Tracker Software. If the PDF was done as an image then you will not be able to select the text.

  • How can i copy text from a pdf while in firefox?

    i no longer seem to be able to highlight and copy text from a pdf, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view pdfs.
    how do i turn on the select tool, so i can do this?

    When viewing a PDF with a browser you are using a browse add-on (Adobe's, Firefox's, or some other provider).
    An add-on is not the desktop application; add-ons do not provide the full functionality of the desktop application (Reader or Acrobat).
    To have full use of all Comment and Drawing Markup tools save the PDF to the local machine's HDD.
    Launch Adobe Reader XI (pre-XI releases do not have the full set of these tools).
    Open the PDF. Annotate as desired.
    Be well...

  • I can't edit text on a pdf file in adobe acrobat

    I need to edit the text on the pdf file but I can't and this message keeps showing up: " This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
    There are no security on this file. The only thing that is not allowed is to create templates. When I check the document properties description, on the PDF producer it says adobe distiller 7.0.5 (windows)
    I downloaded the adobe livecycle designer but I couldn't edit the text there either... When I open the file it says the text is not downloaded so it replaced it with another text, I clicked ok but then the text didn't change, This message showed up:
    I really need to edit the text on this pdf file because it's important. Can anyone help? Greatly appreciate it. By the way, this is a pdf fillable form that you can fill out on acrobat and that is the only thing it seems like it will let me do this file. I don't want to fill it out, I want to edit whats on it. It's one of those forms that you get from NJ courts.

    Ok, what we can tell you is that if this is a LiveCycle form (and we can be pretty sure it is), that you are absolutely right. Acrobat can fill it, and nothing else. These are a very special kind of PDF, where all the text is in a special XML format that Acrobat can only show, not edit.
    So, you are on the right track: if it can be edited, you need LiveCycle Designer. Unfortunately, we don't know much about it in this forum, so please try posting here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es

  • How do i highlight text in a pdf document

    how do i highlight test in PDF document?

    Thank you so much, Bill, for your reply.  My problem was/is that I could
    not get the highlight tool to work.  I tried countless times before posting
    my query on the website.  You assumed correctly; I was/am working with text.
    I was using Adobe reader to highlight text in an Adobe doc I had created
    and need to forward to a third party.  I wanted to highlight that text in
    the document that is salient to the actions I am asking of the third party.
    Perhaps the highlight tool cannot be used in a previously created Adobe
    document.  In any event, I do appreciate your reply.

  • If I highlight text in a pdf, all the text on the page disappears when I next open the saved document. How to retrieve my text?

    When I use the highlight tool in a pdf document and then save the document, the next time I open the document the highlight is still there, but the whole page does not contain any text anymore. Totally blank. How do I retrieve my text?

    Well, you need a PDF viewer – and that would be Adobe Reader.
    Those parameters only work for web-served documents, not for local ones.
