Highlight text for Print

I am trying to find a way to be able to highlight text in a document and and then print it with the text highlighted (as you would when reading an article and marking thru important points with a pen highlighter) Also how would I highlight multiple but different text lines so that they all show? I can't seem to find a key that will allow it. (ie. control or option key)
Thanks for your advice,
Glen

ApleWorks doesn't provide for any method to directly "highlight text for printing," or for display on a monitor, for that matter. The 'highlighting' you see after dragging across a line or block of text is an indication that the text is Selected, and may now be manipulated, but tat highlighting will not appear on a printed page.
You can "place a colour block behind" the text to create an effect similar to running a hi-liter across the text on a printed page, it's fairly easy, and the result will print.
Show the Tools palette (Window > Show tools, or click the red toolbox at the lower left of the document window).
Use the Rectangle tool to draw a rectangle that just covers the text you want to highlight.
Use the Fill formatting button then the color palette to select a highlight colour. Repeat using the formatting button then the color palette to set the line colour to the same value as the fill colour.
Copy the rectangle so that you can re-use it.
Go Arrange > Move to back to place the rectangle behind the (now highlighted) text.
Still in Draw mode (you should have the Arrow mouse pointer—if not, click on the Selection tool {arrow} in the tools palette), Paste another copy of the coloured rectangle, drag it to the next line of text you want to highlight, and adjust the length to cover the text to be highlighted. Move to back as above. Repeat as necessary.
NOTE that these rectangles are not part of the text, but floating objects. If you edit text above the highlighted portion, change fonts or size, or change style (eg. to bold), the text to be highlighted will move, but the rectangles will not. Best to leave this highlighting until you've finished otherwise revising text.
NOTE2: When resizing small rectangles like this, it's easy to change their height when trying to change only their length.
TIP: When you have one the right size for the text size and font you are using, select it, then go Options > Object size... and note the height of the object, reported in the second box in the right column. For subsequent highlight rectangles, after adjusting the length to fit the text to be highlighted, open the Object size dialogue, enter the correct size into the Height box, then press tab to confirm the entry.

Barry

Exporting text for print

How can I export ab text with a transparent background for print at 300 PPI? Also which format? I've researched but I am still a bit confused.
Thanks in advance.

If you are sending it to a printer, pdf is more than likely the way to go. next would probably by tiff then png. These two formats are raster formats so they would print as the resolution you created the file at. Not all printer support ai but ai and pdf would be vector formats that print at the highest resolution of the printer regardless of the documents resolution.
Jpg even though it compresses to a nice small file, is a lossy format, in that data is thrown out to save space. I does not support transparency or layers.
png supports transparency but does not support layers. (Layers for these two formats are photoshop layers)
tiff and psd supports layers and transparency as well as editable text.
eps is hardly used any more but some older software requires it.
pdf supports transparency, editable text, layers (both illustrator and photoshop) as well as a host of other options like color profiles, animations, etc.
A pdf file can also embed the ai or photoshop file depending on which app created the pdf. Making it editable in that app.
In the end, you use what format(s) that the printer supports, which is why it is always a good idea to ask the printing shop.
If it is a printer in your home or office, then just print it instead of exporting it. (unless you need the file in another app like Indesign or photoshop)

Hi，
Based on your desccription, I'm afraid that it is not the correct forum since this forum is to discuss the VS IDE.
If you want to achieve it in code, I suggest you post this issue to the specific language development forum like C#, VB or others.

Highlight Text for Lookup Fields

I hope this question isn't too silly.
I have a large database that I have used the wizard to create a look-up table for one of the repetitive fields. The text names are now all numbers in the primary table and at run time are displayed as text via the look-up table. Everything works very well the only thing I would like to do is to have the 'Highlight Words' work when I do a search. Usually something like '&P42_REPORT_SEARCH.' works. The problem is that the database table does hold those values any more. Does anyone have any ideas?
Kind Regards,
Steve Welch

Creating forms that are fillable, but I cannot print the full returned form- How do I expand the boxes to see all of the text for print?

I have created several forms for work as I am trying to get new staff on board using digital forms vs. pencil and paper. However, there does need to be the option of printing the final, filled in product. I can see everything on the form through scrolling, but when I print it looks like a screen shot. Help!

If you are finding that people are overfilling the boxes, you probably need to revisit how big you made the boxes. It's a common error in form design to try to save paper at the expense of box sizes.

See & print highlighted text

I wonder if, for future updates of Adobe Reader, you could include the following feature: It would be very useful if, in the right column, besides viewing the content of the sticky notes, it could be possible to see the highlighted text. And it would be even better if all this information could be printed.
Thanks

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I'd like students to be able to view my comments on printed version of their papers.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I am a teacher, and I would like students to be able to view my comments on printed versions of their papers. I know word displays the comments off to the side of the document, and those comments can be viewed all at once and printed alongside the document.

There doesn't appear to be a way to print conmments in either Pages or Numbers in the Mavericks versions.

How do you highlight text in Pages for iPad? The document I want to create and highlight is a pages document

I am trying to create a document in Pages for iPad and want to highlight various bits of text but can not find a function in the inspector for this. Can anyone help,please?

Hi stuartdj,
I'm not finding a way to highlight text as one can do with iBooks (hold and swipe for black text, background yellow for example).
One option is to actually color the text itself.
Select the text, then in Style tools, tap the Font name at the top which shows the Text Options sheet where there is a Color option. Would changing the font color to Red, Green or Purple accomplish your goals?
If you do want black text on a colored background (highlighted) it would need to be text in a text box where you can change the fill (background) color. Style, Style Options, Fill. But this is not inline text and doesn't flow like just coloring the font itself.

Display text area for printing

Hi,
I know here are many threads about displaying a textarea as read-only. but no solution fits my requirements.
I have a page with many fields among other things 3 textareas. This textareas a normally display as autoheight. for printing this page I have created a new one, where all items are read-only, because of the nasty brackets, if page is displayed in printer-friendly mode.
If my textareas hve more lines then declared for height, they are displayed with a scrollbar. That's not acceptable for me , because I must have printed all the text, not only the one in the scrollable area. In printer-friendly mode, the textarea is automatically set to a height, so that the text is completly shown.
When I print this page, the textareas are set to a width of 17 lines (declared in height: 4 lines), equal if there is 1 line entered or 20. But I like to have shown / printed all entered lines, so if 1 line is entered I like to see / have printed a textarea with 1 line (max 3) and if 20 lines are entered I like to see / have printed a textarea with 20 lines (max 22). How can I do this???
Thanks
chrissy

Chrissy,
There might be a way to get this functionallity through the css and template for 'Printer Friendly'.
However, what I'd do is write a PL/SQL routine to create a HTML page and get all the formatting done the way you like there. I have mine pop up in a new window with the menu bar, so the print option is available if the user wants.
Through PL/SQL you're dealing just with the column data, not also having to deal with the various elements to display the data, such as a textarea. I simply create HTML tables to hold the data, and place the data in the various <td> elements of the table. The table then controls the layout, and multi-line fields get automatically wrapped.

Header text not printed for scheduling agreement

Hi All,
I have issue with header text print out for scheduling agreement (SA).
In SA when I am manually writing some note and then taking print out, system is giving me correct output with maual note.
I have one standard text (ST) which I need to be printed in evry SA, so in SPRO I created new head text for vendor and in copying rule for text for SA, I created linkage of SA header text with Vendor head text.
In vendor master, I inserted ST in newly created vendor header text.
So now when ever I create new SA for vendor system will determin header text from vendor master.
Now after creating SA when I check the SA, I am able to my ST in SA, but at the time of print out this ST in not printing.
Please let me know what could be the reson.
Regards,
Sameer

I dont understand about what you mean by expand.
When you a print PO, PO text (header or item) it will check to the configuration setting.
The system didnt care if its adopted from vendor master or info record, or whatever you make in the copying rule.
In your case : you create a standard text then it get copied into PO , then you set the standard text to the PO for print out, example the standard text : word is
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Then in the PO the text appear will be like below(the same, because it get copied)
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
If you configure it in define text for SA, then it the print out it will also (the same)
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
So what text need to expand?

Text not showing in PDF created for print

After exporting an illustrator document I tred to make a high quality PDF for print but the text does not show in the PDF file.

Impossible to know. You have not provided any info about your document, what font you used, what appearances on the text, what PDF settings, what system or even what version of AI plus how you review the document. From the font simply not being allowed to be embedded to specific appearances not rendering correctly to unsuitable PDF settings there could be anything at work here. You need to be much more specific.

How to use Text and Image variables for printing

I have been working on product configurator with AS3 for several months now.
I am not proficient with AS3.
Now, it seems that maybe my design is all wrong.
Is there a proper way to do this?
I have a main timeline that has movie clips showing images of different options for the product.
On the first frame, I use buttons to select the choice for option 1 from the Option1_mc.
Then I store the choice in a variable.
I use a button to go to the next choice (frame 10.)
On frame 10, I use buttons to select the choice for option 2 from the Option2_mc.
This is stored in another variable.
There are about 10 options that are selected and stored in variables.
Some are text values and others are instances of images from the Option movie clips.
I made a Print_mc to use for printjob.
I can't get the values of the variables to display in the first frame for printing.
Any helpl would be appreciated.

you're welcome.
you won't insert a variable into a textfield. you'll assign the text property of your textfield to be the value one of your variables points to.
so, for example, if you have:
var var1:String="this is a test";
you can use:
tf.text=var1;

Can't print highlighted text on pdf's in Preview

I had printing problems with my office printer Canon IR series. the Canon update UFR II V 2.24 fixed this but brought a new problem.
I can't print annotated pdf's correctly.
Any highlighted text is covered with a full colour bar with no text visible under it. It just covers the text.
Is there a fast way of printing with no annotations or of fixing this problem and just print the highlights correctly?!
Thanks

Just tested this to the iR C3380i using the UFR2 v2.24 and can replicate the symptom. I found that if you change the Graphics Mode from UFR2 to Raster, the text will print. To get to this setting, select to print with the UFR2 driver and change to the Quality menu. Then select Quality Setting button to show the Quality Settings pane. Here you will see the Raster Mode setting. Select and OK the change and now you can print the annotated PDF.
You will probably note that this workaround was the same solution to the Graphics Mode message that appeared with the previous version of the UFR2 driver with the 10.6.7 update. The v2.24 driver stopped this message from appearing but this latest symptom would suggest there is still something not completely right with this new driver, although I seem to remember there being issues with the older driver on earlier versions of 10.6 and the Graphics Mode setting was the only solution.

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

Can you make a menu for the right-click search so that when I highlight text and search, I can choose which search engine to use?

If you Highlight text you can right-click on it to pull up a short menu. One option is "Search x search engine for 'highlighted text'" Previously, the search engine selected would be whichever search engine was selected on the search bar, so Google or Amazon.com, etc. Because you can no longer change that selection before you search, the search engine is set to your default. Was an annoyance before, but now it's just a hindrance.

Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem
