Highlight feature in PDF iBooks

Why can't I highlight text in PDFs that I have stored in iBooks?

iBooks only has the "enhanced" note taking features for ePub files, there are PDF anotators that you may be able to use, or you could try converting the PDF to and ePub.

Why does the highlight feature seem not to work about 1/2 the time in various ibooks. I'm trying to take notes and about 50 pages into a book the highlight feature stopped working.

I've long noted that the highlight feature in ibooks is clunky and fairly limited in it's note-taking features, but the last two books I've read I've had trouble getting the highlight feature to work at all. I click and drag over text and nothing happens. I try with command depressed and nothing happens. If I double click a bunch it will eventually highlight one word, but nothing more. What gives?
Also, not to be snarky, but why can't I seem to find a button that would read text to speach for me? How do blind people use this service, or illiterate, or dyslexic, or people like myself who can learn far more from hearing then from reading.
And why does the text of a book often render so that it's haf cut off of the page?

There is a button for speech within the iBooks menu. Edit > Speech. You might be better off buying Audiobooks. You can get them from the iTunes Store or Audible.com

Having problems with highlighting feature in iBooks after updating ios8 to my iPad. Please help!

I Too am having problems with iBooks highlighting the entire chapter if I touch the right edge of a page. It overrides my previous highlighting making my studying useles. It's terribly frustrating! iOS 8 has been a big,big problem. Apple has to fix this. There should be a way to undo it. It's a terrible mess.

How do I highlight text in pdf in iBooks? Can't seem to do that...

iBooks is pretty feeble with PDF. There are many other pdf readers available that have many more features. Goodreader, iannotate, etc.

Highlighting text in pdf's

Hi, my first post here so hello all.
Ok i've a simple question really. Can Oracle text display a pdf document with the chosen search criteria highlighted in the pdf??? I've seen that it can do this with html text but can it actually do the highlighting directly to pdf documents???
Thanks

Hi Omar, Thanks for your reply. Are you sure it doesn't support highlighting??? The reason I ask is we had an oracle e-architect present to us who was convince Oracle text in 9i would support this feature??

I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it. Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).
Thanks,

I need a simple app that will allow highlighting features. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked at many apps but either they are to complicated for my user or does not easily download to the app.

I need a recommedation for an app that will allow highlighting within a pdf. I have looked at several apps but the person I am researching this for wants something simple. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Batch change color of existing highlights in a PDF (Acrobat X Pro)

I'm trying to find a script or action that will batch change the color of some existing text highlights in a PDF. The document shows the text being highlighted, but the highlight color is extremely light such that it is visable only with unnecessary effort. Idealy, I'd like to create a script or action that would identify all of the highlights in the document and change their color to a more standard and visable yellow instead of the washed-out and barely visable yellow I have now.
Thanks!
Edit: I'm using Acrobat X Pro in Windows.

You can do this with JavaScript. Note that it could be a problem with the color or the opacity setting, or both. For more information, see:

Is it possible to add highlighted text in an iBooks interactive textbook using VoiceOver?

Is it possible to add highlighted text in an iBooks interactive textbook using VoiceOver?

The only way you can add read aloud to an ibook is by using easy epub code editor. (Go to itunes and look it up). This app works on the ipad and is the ONLY app that can generate smil/xml code for read aloud. The only thing is that you cannot use it on anything but a raw epub file. You cannot use it with ibooks author or with any other file. Hope this helps.

How to email/print my highlights or notes from ibooks or kindle ipad app?

How to email/print my highlights or notes from ibooks or kindle ipad app?

I also had this question, and spent time puzzling over it. But here's the answer:
Open the relevant iBook
Click the icon that looks like a 3 line bullett list
Click on Notes
Click on the icon in the top right hand side that looks like a page with an up arrow pointing out of it.
Choose Edit Notes
Select the notes or highlights that you want printing (a tick appears in the circular radio button)
Click SHARE
Choose either Mail or Print
Voila

Is there a way to export just the Highlights from a PDF in Preview?

I'd like to export, or Copy/Paste all at once all of my Highlights form a PDF in Preview in Mavericks.
Is this possible?

Hi,
ExportPDF is just a convertion tool, it is not meant for extracting information out of the form.
You may want to consider Adobe Acrobat. You can extract information from form fields via Tools> Forms > More Form Options > ExportData. If you'd like to try it out, we offer a 30-day trial of Acrobat X Professional for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/

PS Shadow and Highlights feature in Lightroom.

I would like to see the Shadows and Highlight features (the entire thing)
added as a palette in Lightroom. It would be very useful in my opinion and
does such a great job in Photoshop.
Robert

> I like the ability to have it automatically apply it when you bring it up. I
also like the ability to adjust the settings and save them as a default. So
if they added both of these to LR (as well as the other slider controls)
that would be great.
They are (presets for the first, ACR defaults for the second).

Hi, my read aloud feature with PDF stopped working. It reports: no US English voice available on this system. How can I restore it to read aloud again? Thx, Rick

I am having the exact same problem... My Text-to-speech just errors out when I select a new voice and then that voice disappears from the choices of voices. I can not get it to speak anything since the Leopard upgrade. Some suggestions would be great as to what might cause this to fail. Thanks
