Highlighting text & adding notes to a secured pdf

Hi,
I have a secured pdf (locked for edit) which is fine by me, but why can't I highlight the text or add notes to that PDF?
Am i missing something? I am not altering the text or anything, just highlighting it...
Other application, as well as the Windows 8 reader do allow it!
I am using Adobe PDF reader touch for Windows 8.
Thanks

We bought a PDF book from the site that you mentioned and inspected the document restrictions. The PDF book is encrypted.
Currently, Adobe Reader Touch does not support any changes to encrypted PDF documents, even if the document permissions allow "Changing the document" or "Commenting".
We hope to offer the capability of making changes to encrypted PDF in a future release. Sorry for the inconvenience.

When your search tab is on you can't highlight or add note etc to the pdf. While this was possible in previous version. Please fix this, it's very annoying [iOS]

Ifilter does not read/index secured pdf

Hi,
In this context, I meant for secured pdfs to mean pdfs that disallow users, to print the document and copy text and images, rather than password-protected pdfs. Thus, this files can be read if they are opened with the reader. However, this will also cause the ifilter to be unable to read/index its contents.Strangely enough though, the old PDF ifilter 6.0 is able to index such files but not for the newer pdf ifilters.
Will future ifilter releases allow for such pdf files to be index? Or is this a decision not to implement this by design?

Thank you for reporting this.
However this is 'AsDesigned' due to the new changes that we have intriduced to improve Reader 10 Security.

Text layers not saved correctly as PDF from PS?

I frequently save layouts I do in Photoshop as PDF's. Lately I very often will discover the text does not display correctly in the PDF. One or two lines of text will display as white with a thin black outline, rather than as the basic solid black I'd specified.
I work on a Windows 7 machine with the current version of PS. The text is on layers when I save the file to PDF (from PS), but I do not include the layers in the PDF, so they should be flattening down.
Any ideas why this happens? I noticed a few weeks ago when it was also doing this that I updated the program a day later and the PDF's were not exhibiting this issue. But, now it's starting again. A big timewaster for me.
Thanks for any suggestions offered.

Text doesn't flatten until you tell it to. In fact that may be the problem here - you are telling the PDF maker to not retain vector text and when it tries to flatten, some layer style or something else gets in the way. Try to play with the PDF options. also manaulyl flatten the document in PS before saving to PDF...

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.

'Include help text' does not show up in PDF

I am using the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro trial to create writable PDF registration forms, and when I use the 'Include help text' and add the required information, once converted from 'FORMSCENTRAL' into a PDF, the '?' disappears.
I also can't work out how to 'Save as' in 'FORMSCENTRAL' for different versions of this document (similar registration forms but for five different cities) to make alterations. It seems I have to recreate each city all over again for the PDF version, when I need to make one small change to the Terms and conditions section on our form, for example.
I would appreciate some guidance, thank you!

Close the form so you are looking at the "My Forms" tab, the view that shows you all of your forms. In the "My Forms" tab you can right click on a form and choose "Duplicate" from the context menu or you can select a form and click on the "Duplicate" button in the toolbar above the list of forms.
Thanks,
Josh

Not receiving secure PDF for offline payment

Hi all,
I've had a website running for the past few months that takes users details for offline payments during checkout. When I first set the site up (several months ago) everything seemed to come through fine. I could see the users details and had everything I needed to take payment.
However I have recently gone back into the site to make a few changes and have realised that I am no longer receiving the secure PDF for offline payment. I have set my new password, triple checked that my email is selected and have tried several times but still can't seem to find any user details that would allow me to take payment.
This is currently the only system I have in place as I am assessing whether or not there is enough traffic on the site to consider setting up a realtime payment portal but even as a temporary thing I would like to get this working.
Any information about this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi SafeySnail,
I'll need you to submit a support ticket on this issue and specify which site this is occurring with as well as the email address that is not receiving the secure PDF. The support team will be able to investigate why this is occurring and get back to you with a solution.
You can submit a support ticket from within the admin console > Help & Support.
Cheers.

Acrobat: summarize highlighted text only in a new document?

Hi everyone,
I have marked some passages with the "highlight text"-tool in a big pdf file and want to extract only the marked text in a new file. Is this possible?
So far I could only print a new file with information ABOUT the highlighted text, but not the highlighted text itself.
This means I get a file telling me only who highlighted the text and when he did that.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat X, but if you know another program that is able to do this please tell me!
Thanks for your help!

Although i generally recommend people to user PDFMaker as it provides more features. But if you have already converted the files using PDF Printer, you can also creates tags. Try this:
1). Open PDF in Acrobat.
2). Click on Tools-> Accessibility.
3). Add Tags to document.
4). Save the document and then try the steps I mentioned above. This resolves the issue related to Tags.
You can also do that in MS Word once the PDF is tagged.
1). Open MS Word. Click on Acrobat Tab
2). Click on Acrobat Comments->Import Comments from Acrobat.
3). Now Follow step 6,7,8, and 9 and you are done.
Once you get the comments exported to word you need to change the layout of those using features in word.
Also, you can try this:
In the comments pane->Under Comments List-> Click on the bubbles and select Hide All Comments. No Click on the same bubble and select Type->Highlight. This will show you only Highlight annotations.
Now Click on Options(Box) and select create comment summary.
Under Comment summary select third radio button-> Comments Only.
For Include option -> Select Only the comments currentyly showing.
Click Create Comments Summary
This will generate the PDF file with only highlight annotations.
Now you can easily export this to MS Word, Using SaveAs-> Microsoft Word-> Word Documents.
(This might create a problem if the highlighted tag is on a Scan document that is OCRed/ not OCRed. That may slightly change the layout). Otherwise its okey.
Does that resolve the issue??
I am not sure if i followed the second issue of yours. Is update a problem or adding Acrobat tab in Word?

Preview: highlight text slowly disappears over the days

Hello everyone.
I have several days reading a book in pdf format with preview.app, and I highlight text in bright yellow.
I have reviewed all the highlighted text and the color yellow is more tenuous as I approach the beginning of the book.
In fact the highlight of the first page no longer exists.
How I can do to make all the highlight is of the same intensity of color?
I use Preview Versión 5.5 (719). Thank you.

Tonight I went to the Genius Bar. There seems to be two options:
(1) Do as the genius did tonight:
- Reset the home folder's ACL (Access Control List.) (He said to Google this to learn exactly how to do this.)
- Repair the disk permissions
- Delete the Preview preference file. It's a "plist" file located in user/library/preferences
If that doesn't work, then:
(2) Re-install Lion.
I tried Preview with the fixes and most of my problems seemed to be fixed. Those being the colors of the highlighted text and notes haven't dimmed after a number of quits and restarts of Preview. However, the grey text that I originally included in my annotations became invisible again. They're still there, but you can't seem them. Although the text that I included using other colors (blue & red) continue to appear.
My feeling that this still might be an issue related to versions, but who knows.

IBooks won't let me highlight text that is inside a table!

Hey All,
This seems really silly but when I create a table inside iBooks author and preview it on my iPad, I cannot select text inside the table to highlight, search, or make notes on. It's just a static table. In the book I'm creating, there is so much info inside tables that students will want to highlight and use as study cards so I've got to find a workaround. I know you can highlight text added inside a shape and I've thought about making a bunch of rectangles and fitting the text in there but it's much more work for me and seems like a "mickey mouse" way of doing things. Does anyone have any better solutions I could try?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Caleb

Try deleting it and redownloading. If that doesn't work, try using the Report a Problem link on your receipt.

Hello - very new to Adobe CC
Can anyone send me a link to show me how to highlight text? Not to be mistaken with this kind of highlighting.... I would like to make my text white, and highlight a square coloured box around such (sorry - Im sure there is a more technical name for this but alas - I do not know!)?

Preview freeze and not working fine on PDF view (building plans)

Imac 27" 5k i7 32GB Osx 10.10.1
When opening a PDF in preview (mostly building plans) some lines are not viewable. When enlarging the pdf and every time i'm scrolling preview freeze for a 30".
(in quick view (mail) the hole PDF is perfect viewable but not scaleable)
Also secured PDF could not be enlarged.
This al worked perfect on Mavericks on my other Imac 27" i7 16GB (mid 2011) 10.9 before upgrading to 10.10 (now it have de same problems as my brand new 5k)
I hope apple coms whit an solution quickly.

Firewall issues were preventing this problem.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

Can't use all annotate actions in Preview-it's a PDF of a web screen shot. No highlight, underline, etc; can insert text, boxes, notes.

I can't use all the annotate actions in Preview. It's web screen shot saved as a PDF. No highlight, underline, or strikethough text but I can insert text, boxes, notes. On other forums this problem was solved by saving as a PDF which I have done. Any other solutions?

I don't think PDF is the way to do it, but if it was you'd need something like Adobe Acrobat Professional.
>I'm updating the content and copy for a website and thought the easiest way would be marking up a PDF of the webpages including highlighting text to be removed, etc.
As far as Text changes, I thing the actual Source would maybe be the way to go, but you could always turn the PDF into a jpg or such, then use a Graphics program to poit out things...
