Can't highlight text ( text tool flickering )

I am trying to simply highlight text and when I do it just flickers between the text tool and the hour glass. You can select as if you are going to select the text but then it doesn't highlight. So, the only way I can change colors, fonts, etc. is by opening the editor.

ok, i fixed my issue by going to:
Program Files
Fireworks CS3
Right Click on the fireworks.exe file and the go to compatibility
I changed mine to Windows 2000 and it started working again. Hope this helps someone.

How can I highlight pdf texts in adobe reader 9?

I am using adobe reader 9 . How can I highlight pdf texts?

With the commenting tools. But they will only be available if the author of the PDF enabled that option in Acrobat.

Can't Highlight ANY text, please help.

I can't highlight any text in any application. I can't drag my mouse to highlight, and when I press Ctrl+A it only highlights pictures and links on a web page.
Please help, I need to be ably to copy text for my work and I can't even select it.

Trevor:
I would begin by starting up in Safe Mode, log in, and see if it works any better in terms of highlighting.
If not, then try Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior

Can you highlight a text field box?

Looking to add a light highlighted color to the text field input box?

Sorry you can't remove the label of a field. When the Label is on the Left (either left aligned or right aligned) then you can resize the label (using drag and drop) but there is still a min width that the label must have. You can also change the Label to be Above but that might not work with your spacing either.

Can't highlight the required text???

It does it somewhere else

You can only highlight actual text; if it is a scanned image (even if it contains text), you can't. Unless someone converts it to actual text (OCR).

Can't edit button text - 6.0.2

iDVD 6.0.2
I'm unable to edit chapter button text - I can't select individual buttons, therefore can't highlight the text to change it. Clicking on a button selects the main title for that screen, not the button. "Select All Buttons" will allow me to change font/size for all the buttons on that menu, but not edit text. I'm using the "Fun" theme. Any help would be appreciated.

Can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in iOS 7 Adobe Reader

I have enjoyed using Adobe Reader to proofread clients' documents, but since the last two iOS 7 updates I can't highlight, underline, strike through or select text in PDFs generated by the same source that previously presented no problems.
The drawing and insert text functions do work.
I am using an up-to-date iOS 7 iPad 4. The latest Adobe Reader update and a hard reset, as advised elsewhere on the forum, didn't help.
I have read What's New and looked at the Help manual. I am aware of the new long tap to select one word followed by another tap.
What am I doing wrong? Adobe Reader used to work so easily. I won't be paid for the time lost while I try to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Krissy,
I found it extremely frustrating and I don't have a technically sensible answer for you.
Mine started working again suddenly, but slowly, after many hours of not working, and then improved in speed and responsiveness with use.
The conventional wisdom is to ensure you have the latest update of Adobe Reader first. There has been more than one since the iOS 7 change.
The first time it started working again for me was when I was trying in a pdf that I had previously edited in Adobe Reader before the problem began, where I know all the tools used to work (i.e. no problems caused by the file itself) but it is now also working in the new doc that wouldn't work the other day.
Shradha above gave me the clue that triggered it. I usually go straight to the "Pick a Tool" comment/annotate button in the main/first toolbar at the top, then use the toolbar at the bottom, where the highlight, underline and strikeout tools wouldn't work.
These functions started working when I tried selecting text directly from the first screen that has the toolbar for "View Modes" (an eye), save/export options, "Pick a Tool", share options and search, without selecting any of these options.
So, instead of choosing the Pick a Tool button at the top, try just holding down some text for a while, as if to select it (mine wouldn't even select for a long time) and see if the grey tool menu pops up right above that text.
Initially, I only got the options that were already working to pop up ("Note, Text, Freehand and Signature"). I tried a few different spots in the file and eventually the "Copy/Highlight/Strikeout/Underline/Define" menu popped up. The first time it apppeared was after holding down the text selection action for about 20 seconds, and it didn't appear every time, but then it became quicker and more reliable, and then these functions also started to work from the bottom toolbar that I usually use after choosing Pick a Tool.
Even today, checking that it still works, it was a bit stuttery to start with and then it came good.
Perhaps any of the technically-minded members could explain this or perhaps tell us if there is a difference in the action that is supposed to bring up the "Note" etc versus the "Highlight" etc pop-up menus. I'm stumped.
So try holding down text to select as soon as you open the file, and see if that grey menu will start to appear with the "Highlight" etc options after several attempts. I hope it starts working for you soon.

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 Mac Mail?

I just switched from a PC to a Mac. How can I highlight text in a messge in Mac Mail? I can't find a highlighter in the tool bar.

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.

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

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.
