Export comments AND highlighted text?

I know there are several options for exporting comments associated with highlighted text in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but is there a way to export both the comment AND the highlighted text?
Thanks.

Hi,
Any of the annotations on the Comment & Markup toolbar (including those not place with defaults but available via "More Tools") can be exported to a separate PDF file.
Use Summarize Comments or use Create PDF of Comments Summary.
In the options dialog that is presented, select 'Comments only'.
Regarding character strings that have the Highlight annotation "laid" over them;
Go into Acrobat's Preferences.
Select the Category "Commenting".
Look over the configuration settings in the 'Pop-Up Open Behavior'
and the 'Making Comments' panes.
Specifically, select "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups"
Cross-Out and Underline can be added to the Comment & Markup toolbar via the "More Tools" menu which is available on the default toolbar "ribbon" context menu.
Be well...

  • Why can't I make comments and highlight text in a document?

    Why can't I make comments and highlight text in a document?

    Nothing happens. I can select the text but when I go to “highlight” it the button is grayed out and nothing happens. Is there some sort of code that prevents certain publications from having portions of their text highlighted?

  • Creating Electronic Binders Using PDF Portfolio - Commenting and Highlighting

    For a few years now I have been using Portfolios to create electronic versions of binders.  Users want to be able to review, search, highlight and comment within the PDFs - and each have a copy with their comments.  Security is also a big deal.  My main question is:  Is using Adobe Portfolios the best solution for making an electronic binder, or does Adobe or another vendor offer a better one?  Recently I saw a product called GDoc Binder that looks promising.  For now using the Portfolios is the best solution I know of.
    Problems with the current solution:  Right now I have to create multiple copies of the document to allow users to comment and highlight on their own copy.  File size can be problematic - if it's too big searching can take a long time even after I index the file.  Updating and adding sections is problematic since if you update a page or file you could lose their comments, and so I have to update multiple copies of the same file.  I know you can export and import comments but that can be complex/time consuming. One question I have: Is there a search and/or report on comments and highlights from the full Portfolio rather than just one at a time?
    Since Adobe Pro X I have had to use a custom template from PracticalPDF.com to recreate the list navigation of Adobe Pro 9. I did see another post saying that the use of Flash with Portfolios mean that it's day are numbered. Question: I am curious if this is true, and if Portfolios using Flash are becoming obsolete, what Adobe Pro would use for an alternative?
    Thank you in advance for any insight and answers - it is greatly appreciated.

  • Does Adobe Viewer on iPad support Search, Bookmark and Highlight Text?

    I would like to know if the Adobe Viewer for the iPad support the Search, Bookmark and Highlight Text features.... Or if some of these features are planned to be developed later and when.
    Thanks for your quick answer.

    Not yet. Those features are on the roadmap, but I can't offer an estimated time.

  • My comments and highlights don't appear on docs viewed in Dropbox

    I uploaded my edited version, but my edits don't appear in the standard iPad PDF reader, only when I open the doc in Adobe reader. Does this mean comments and highlights are not supported in Apple's reader?

    That is exactly correct. Apple's built in PDF rendering does not support rendering annotations or forms data (currently - perhaps they'll add this in the future). This means these cannot be viewed in Dropbox, Mail, or other Apps that use the built in PDF rendering. They are viewable in Adobe Reader and other PDF Readers that support annotations.

  • Feature request: better tools for commenting and editing text

    We currently use a comments-enabled Acrobat workflow with InDesign to track changes to our large catalog project. Was hoping to move our team over to CS Live, but currently the commenting tools are sub-par, and not accurate enough for extensive text editing. My request would be to imitate the text editing functionality of Acrobat:
    In CS Live online:
    - allow users to be able to copy selected text. (This is useful when a reviewer wants to be able to modify a sentence or paragraph. It's a headache now to have to retype the sentence prior to making modifications)
    - Ability to highlight text and hit "delete" to mark text as deleted, or highlight and type over to indicate replaced text
    - Ability to click to insert text, and have the comment appear with the inserted text designation (little blue carat like in Acrobat)
    - ability to highlight a section of text
    In InDesign:
    - ability to copy the text in a comment and NOT copy all the other extraneous meta data. (Currently, if you click "copy text", it will copy the comment along with all the details about the comment. For example, "- Amy Stewart [10.06.11 at 12:56 PM]"
    - ability to see in InDesign the EXACT part of the text that needs to be modified. Right now, the red box outlines the general area. The CS Review panel shows a tiny thumbnail with black highlight over the area of text that needs to be changed, but unfortunately, there's no way to zoom in on it, so you're stuck having to toggle between InDesign and the online review, where it's possible to zoom. (This diminishes the utility of the CS Review panel.)
    If you were able to incoroprate all the commenting functionality of Acrobat, I think you'll have a winner. But right now, we're going to have to stick with Acrobat as it's the only way to easily modify text.

    Sorry if I might be stating the obvious (but at least I was such a *dummy* once that I needed this explicitely):
    In order to move the sequence of images per drag&drop in grid view you need to
    Put the sort order in the bottom toolbar to "user order" (toggle visibility with letter T if not displayed)
    Grab an image from within its thumbnail, not from its border-cell.
    When you move around you see a vertical black thick line wandering in between images where you would be able to drop it
    Put the images first into a collection in case they should be spread across multiple folders.
    This is the reason why most often from a filter result you cannot re-arrange.
    Still sometimes it does not work as I want, but can *be persuaded*, i.e. I repeat the same trial after first moving to another collection, then return back. I can't nail it down sufficiently to file a bug.
    For an automated sorting according to filename (chosse that setting finally in toolbar) you could rename the photos in place, without exporting & re-importing. Just select them and hit <F2> to bring up the renaming dialog like possible during import.
    +1 vote from me, as I am neither satisfied with the responsiveness of moving folders within LR e.g. from laptop hard disk to NAS.
    Apart from that I try not to build much on my folder structure, just break them into manageable quantities and have a quick "diary-overview" by using naming convention "YYYY-MM-DD description of event" (pictures of up to 4 cameras go inside, unique filenames for Canons achieved by renaming during import). For all the rest I prefer to build (smart) collections.

  • How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to Word?

    I just purchased Pages and tried to export a couple pages of my document to Microsoft Word so I could send them for review to a client who does not have Pages; however, when I copy-pasted into Word, none of the comments or tracked changes showed up in the doc., only the finished product. I've tried updating my software, but that hasn't worked. Is there a way to fix this?

    Here is what the Pages User Guide says:
    " Exporting Pages Documents to Other File Formats
    If you want to share your Pages documents with those who aren’t using the latest version of Pages, you can export your document to file formats that they may be able to use on their computers or other devices:
    • PDF: You can view PDF files in iBooks, and view or print them in Preview and Safari. You can edit them with a PDF application. Fonts used in the Pages document are preserved in the PDF file.
    Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks.
    • Microsoft Word: You can open and edit Microsoft Word files in Microsoft Word on a computer running Mac OS X or Windows.
    Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. You may notice other differences, as well, for example, table layouts and some special typographic features may not be identical. Some graphics (particularly those using transparency) may not display as well. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which you can edit in Microsoft Word.
    • RTF: You can open and edit RTF files in many different word processors. RTF files retain most of the text formatting and graphics.
    • Plain text: You can open and edit plain text files in many text editing applications, such as TextEdit. Exporting to plain text removes all document and text formatting, and images aren’t exported. ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
    If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file format, you can apply a new password at the time of export. "

  • Comment and Highlight functionality?

    Hi all,
    i miss the highlight and comment functionality.
    Feature requests:
    - View comments
    - Add comments
    - Highlight text
         - Highlight text with various colors
    - Print (already saw you are working on it)
    Currently comments in the Microsoft Reader are shown in a small window where you have to scroll.
    It would be great if comments in Adobe Reader would be shown in a bigger size or if you are in landscape mode display it at the right or left side.
    Looking forward to several great Windows 8 UX apps from Adobe
    cheers
    Norm

    Thanks for the suggestions. These are all very popular requests, and are right at the top of our list. The team is going to be very busy for the next few months!

  • How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to PDF?

    Hello,
    I would like to know how I can export my pages document to a pdf that still keeps the comments I had made in the pages version. I am using the latest version of Pages by the way.
    Thanks in advance...

    Last week I printed a Pages '09 document to PDF and it carried over all the comments and marked up changes.  This week I foolishly updated to Pages 5 and it won't do this anymore.  If you need to print to PDF and get the comments in the document, you have to switch back to Pages '09, which I am doing tomorrow.  Cannot believe they gutted Pages like this. 

  • How to quickly switch between speech bubble and highlight text in pdf viewer in Maverics.  Can now only use menu to change to speech bubble in Maverics (Tool Icon gone since Lion and no shortcut listed)

    I use Preview to mark up student assignments, switching between the speech bubble and highlight markup tools.  The speech bubble is not on the toolbar since Maverics upgrade.  It also have no shortcut, which means navigating the menu every time since the Text shortcut, under which the speech bubble is now located does not remember the previously selected item and always reverts to plain text.
    From a usability point of view, for me this is a massive step backward since the Lion version...
    Or is there some hidden magic that will let me switch between these tools without having to navigate the menu everytime...
    Neal

    100% agreed with this. The new interface is far too bulky, Even on my gaming computer's massive 21inch monitor, it's nearly impossible to keep up with my chat group of 23+ people. I constantly have to scroll back up to read messages, making it furstrating and inconveniant. And now that the update is being forced on all of them, they're complaning of the same issues. Like said previously, these are full computers, Not bloody tablets or cell phones, but even then the new skype's even more useless on my Venue8 Pro tablet, I get to see a whole 3 messages at a time (And don't get me started on the Win8 Skype app). And what made it worse, MS has removed all previous versions of skype from the internet. THEN even when I managed to get my hands on an old version, I can only log it in once before it kicks me off and gives me a worthless error message, "Skype Can't Connect". (But seriously, what happened to giving us error codes guys? Advanced users like myself want to be able to fix the issue ourselves!) MS, I'm sorry but, you need to stop fixing things that are not broken. I'm wasing my time trying to correct this now, and I really don't apreciate that. What happened to quality control and testing?

  • Please make Windows 8 UI Reader able to comment and highlight

    I use my  Surface RT for studying and make use of a lot of pdf documents.Thank you so far for making the Windows 8 UI Version able to read comments and Show Highlights.But there is currently no really good Software out for studying. It would be so helpful if you can just add a toolbar which is static (if setin properties) on my Screen with 8 Colors for highlighting and a button for turn of and on the Highlight mode. within Highlight mode you will not be able to flip the page by gesture. You should just be able to do this by using the arrows right or left. Also add a button for creating a comment.
    Iam really waiting for this and also willing to pay for it.

    LOL Welcome to iTunes.
    No matter how many times I change details/album covers, there's always one or two that are wrong or don't sync.
    You could download a program to edit the metadata so that iTunes reads the info directly from the file instead of editing it in iTunes yourself.

  • BACKGROUND COLOUR AND HIGHLIGHT TEXT ISSUE

    Hi, Just registered and I'm keen to ask you a pressing question. Setting background color different from white and adding highlight text causes the two colors to blend together i.e. the highlight color is not as vivid as applied over a white background or for instance as in a MS Word document. I'm expecting and appreciating your opinion.

    Of course. Mix two colors and a new, different color comes to be.
    Two primaries will yield a secondary (yellow + red = orange).
    Optics, not the software application eh.
    Try using a different highlight color with the designated background color.
    Try using  different opacity values for the highlight color.
    Try using different opacity values for the background color.
    Review the theory and practice associated with the color wheel to identify the most harmonious (for you) colors.
    Be well...

  • Simple viewer won't export comments and the sequence is wrong

    I am stuck....
    I have added simple viewer on my site, but the comments of every photo are not there.
    - In iphoto i have added the comments with every photo.
    - With iphoto export, i made the simple viewer file. Everything works fine accept from the comments they are just not exported.
    - Also the sequence of the photo's are different in the simple viewer. It seems like the photo's are displayed (or exported) at random.
    Has anyone an idea how I can find a workaround and to get these two issue's solved?

    Hi Dhara,
    I've been working with Simple Viewer for a couple of weeks now (you can catch my posting and all the replies on the Boards).
    Regarding your issues, my recollections are as follows....but, remember I'm a novice and not an expert on this:
    1. Comments: Make sure that you check 'Use Comments' in iPhoto Export.
    2. Sequence of Photos: I had the same problem with this. I went back to my iPhoto folder and actually changed the file names to 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. Then, in iPhoto, I sorted the photos: View, Sort Photos, By Title. I had to move a few manually in the iPhoto display, as numerically sorted some fall out of 'order'. After saving this folder, run iPhoto Export and proceed as you did before.
    Again, I am a newbie...so maybe see if some of the 'gurus' on the Boards post a fix as well. And, let me know if this works!
    Good luck

    With Acrobat Javascript you can search for words, retrieve the position of the found words, and add annotations at this positions.
