Highlighter tool missing

My Acrobat Pro has the highlighter tool missing from the toolbar and I cannot find it in Customize. It used to be there. I've googled the issue but can't seem to find the solution. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hotmail tools missing highlight color tool IE & Apple same Hotmail a/c is ok

IE9 terrible, so as many advise I changed to Firefox & true in SRV is great, but when I access Hotmail live my account via IE 8 or 9 or Apple Safari browser, the email compose site has the last tool after text color as a highlight color button.
I use this a lot in mail or extract pasted forwarding to others. Then I can select the highlight tool and type normal black text on yellow background, viewers know my work always yellow highlighted, other text are the originator of the pasted text.
How can I restore that tool to Firefox operated hotmail live toolbar normal mposition as last tool on that standard format list.

Hi there,
I have this exact same issue with my Mac Mini home media server. It has a fixed IP. However there is no vpn client installed.
When I restart the computer everything works fine. Then after a couple of days the dns loses it. Dig works fine and ping. If I try google in a browser it won't load, but if I put in an IP address of a known existing website, it works fine. I can still use remote desktop to access the computer. But if I try to access iTunes through the Remote iPhone app it fails to connect.
I have searched a lot on the internet, and tried out a lot of solutions / suggestions but the bug is rather persistent.
Is there anyone who can help me with this one?
Regards,
Jasper

Highlight tool, typewriter tool, etc. disappeared + gone from menu

I installed Acrobat 9.5.5 Pro as part of the CS4 Suite several years ago. I'm a casual user of Acrobat 9 Pro. I have used the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool on many documents over the years. Many that I have saved on my computer. They have renderable text!
Suddenly the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool, and others, have disappeared + are gone from the Tools + its sub-menus. I'm a pretty savvy computer user. I don't recall that I did anything to change the Tools menu.
When I go to View\Toolbars\More Tools... the the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool don't show there either.
I reinstalled Acrobat 9 Pro from the original CD... the tools menu is still missing the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool, and others. (I say "others" because, although I may not have used them, I sense there were previously more tools visible on the Tools + its sub-menus
Can anyone advise me how to recover the Highlight tool and Typewriter tool?

This happens to all PDF's, those created by me or otherwise. The files are not protected.
You pointed me to a link as a possible solution: "To use the Typewriter tool in Reader 9 on a PDF opened in the browser, enable this right on the PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional." => "Choose Tools > Typewriter > Enable typewriter tool in Adobe Reader." => I don't have a problem with Reader 9. I cannot find this option in my Acrobat 9.5.5 Pro.
Neither the Highlight tool or Typewriter tool exist in the More Tools menu.
I cannot select highlighted text that I created by itself. I can select a block of text that contains highlighted text within the block,however I cannot modify it.
If I try to select a text box that I created with my mouse, it flashes a light blue shade very briefly as I left click on it, but does not actually select the box and allow me to access it.
This is so strange. I can't imagine what dumb thing I may have done to cause this.

Why isn't the highlighter tool working?

I have searched on line tried a forum, tried adobe help, tech support refers to forum, wasted over half an hour on this adobe....
The test is searchable, I've closed and reopened the pdf file. Still the highlighter tools is not working.

It does not say secured in the title bar.
When I go Edit/Protection/Security Properties/ in the Document Properties pop up Security tab,
under Document Security it shows
Security Method: No Security,
Canbe Opened by: All versions of Acrobat,
and under Document Restrictions Summary,
everything is allowed except Document Assembly; Signing; and Creation of Template Pages.
I just copied and pasted the whole document and everything seems to have pasted to WordPad, including quotes, apostrophes, hyphens, colons, commas, brackets, @, and periods, except 3 logos and underlining. The text lines were not all in the same place, as if someone hit return after a sentences. Everything on the pdf page can be highlighted with the cursor, but nothing seems to make the highlighter tool active.

Since the 12/9/14 update of Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to 11.0.10 I have lost the basic colors of the highlighting tool. How do I fix this?

Hi,
It appears that this was a bug that was introduced in the latest update. Others have been able to resolve this issue by using the Acrobat Cleaner tool to uninstall and then reinstall Acrobat. You might try this if you have a few spare moments.
And can you please share the problem PDF which was working correctly in the earlier version.
Thank you

I have a passport. I want an annotation or highlighting tool for the browser..please help!

Annotation or highlight tool for browser...Blackberry passport
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi!
Can you expand more on what you'd like to see when it comes to annotation?
As per highlighting, are you referring to the ability to select text? If so, you can do this now
To do it, tap and hold a word or sentence you'd like to copy for a few seconds and text selections will appear allowing you select text followed by copying it. Thanks!

Pro Tools Missing audio file message syndrom exists on Logic

I come from Pro tools and i am a bit traumatised by this fkn Pro Tools missing audio file message for those who know what i mean..
Is it something possible and frequent in logic when we work on a daily basis ?

No, you simply copy the entire project folder to a flash drive and bring it home. If you have included the audio files in the project folder, which logic does by default, logic will find them just fine at home. If it asks where they are, you just hit "search" and if they're there, If you've copied the song file to your drive without including the audio files ("pilot error") then the program can't find them. Often, I get protools sessions from clients with missing files. Sometimes the entire audio files folder is missing, but more often the missing files are out-takes that are no longer part of the arrangement, and were still in the audio file list of the song, but were not included in the folder when the project was copied and brought to me. How or why, I cannot tell you.

Highlight tool problem

Having a recent problem with highlight tool. Once selected, it will highlight one item and then shut down– the “select” tool then automatically becomes active. It never used to work that way. I can only highlight one item at a time and need to reselect the highlight tool for each additional highlight. Running Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 and OS X 10.9.2. Thanks.

Yes, thanks. That worked.
It took a while to find out how to do this. Apparently, one needs to,
"Select the tool (Highlight in this case), but don't use it yet Click on View> Toolbars > Properties Bar. This is were you can select "Keep Tool Selected""
Thanks to dikaryonSOS, who posted the instructions on how to do this on Feb 15, 2011 9:18 AM.

How do I turn off the Highlight tool?

I have tried the following three things:
(1) Tools > Comment and Markup > [tried clicking on "Highlight Text tool" to un-check it, but the check mark remains].
(2) Comments > Comment and Markup Tools > Highlight Text tool (clicked on it to uncheck, but again, check mark remains)
(3) View > Comment and Markup > [clicked on the Highlight tool icon--which I had done to open it--but it remains shaded, meaning that it is still on]
Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Just go back to the Select tool:
Tools > Select & Zoom > Select Tool

Help for Highlight Tool odd behavior in Acrobat 7.1.0

Hi all,
I am using Acrobat to mark up several PDF documents provided by a software vendor. In some PDFs, the highlight tool erases one or more words when used. It is not hiding them, because an Undo will remove the highlighting and the word or words are still erased. In some cases, the words are within a shaded box, but not always. Does anyone have a clue as to what document property/properties might be causing this? Is it something I can change prior to marking up the document? Thanks in advance.

One opinion. Thoughts? : perhaps the rendering engine used by Word to produce the PDF is not quite compatible with versions of Acrobat before 8

Hi -graffiti
Thank you again for your 10.24 post. I tried your suggestions today. The university computer lab i use has Adobe Acrobat Pro 6. The OCR function is under the dropdown menu "Documents>>Paper Capture". This permits conversion a scanned page to searchable text. Before beginning it asks you to select 1 of 2 Settings defined as: "Primary OCR Language English", or "PDF Output Style: Searchable Image (Exact)". That is the only choice to be made before conversion begins. After the conversion you can review and correct suspect words on captured pages. I tried both choices and regardless of which ended up with a document that was searchable, but still would not permit highlighting (I selected text with the highlight tool, clicked and dragged over a captured page, and nothing happened, same result as my earlier post). If I search for a particular word, all occurrences become shade-highlighted but if I expressly attempt to highlight a word with the highlighter it won't do it.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I might further massage the data?

I have made a pdf fromthe web of 350 pages and is about 6.5 MB big
Now I have already higlighted major parts of the text for about 100 pages
and now Acrobat gets extremely slowwhen using the highlight tool When I want to highlight asentence it takes sometimes more than 6 seconds to transform it into highlighted text. I have already optimised my document but without results.

The Refine Edge Command is generally much better than the old extract filter.

Highlight tool not working - all other tools work

When using any "text" .pdf that is downloaded and fillable my highlight tool does not work. When I highlight text with the cursor then select the highlight tool the comments box indicates that the "highlight tool" has been used, but no color is added to the text. This occurs no matter what color highlighter I use, nor the opacity setting. All other tools (e.g. - underline tool, add text) are working perfectly. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I am using a Lenovo Windows 8.1 machine and running AcrobatReader 11.0. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
