Highlighting text in Reader

When highlighting text using the highlighting tool, Reader is highlighting a block instead of a row of text.  How do I correct this?

Hi Pat
Nope not an image - but I'll tell you, when checking the document's properties, I again tried the highlight function and without amending anything to the document or the application; it now highlights correctly ... very odd

  • Highlighting text in  Preview

    Unexpectedly, a strange alteration to how I can highlight text,  when reading a pdf in Preview has occurred. I used to be able to check the highlight icon in the annotations bar and that's about it. Now when I intend to highlight text, the colour extends to being four lines wide, and when I finish - it gets even stranger. Instead of  the text with a straight band of colour - like with a real high-liner pen - odd shapes occur across the text! How to revert to a simple, colour line highlighting the text I feel is important?

    No it has nothing to do with, if the PDF is protected or not. It is not in this case, it is having the PDF open in Preview and holding down the mouse button and dragging and highlighting the information in whatever direction you push your mouse in. Preview seems to only highlight what ever is showing on the screen instead of highlighting from page to page.

  • Is there any way to find text highlighted in adobe reader and automatically copy it to comment boxes?

    If I use a pdf highlighted in Adobe Reader (metro) in another PDF reading program, one with functionality to retrieve and list various annotations on the PDF, it simply finds "sticky note" as Adobe Reader highlights the text but fails to copy and paste it into a 'highlight' comment box. I intend to use another program with this feature automatic, from this point forward, but is there any way I can retroactively and automatically do this same task to all the other work I've done with Adobe Reader? It is, as I understand, a standard function of PDF annotation.
    Of course, ideally, I would also like this to be automatic in the future, as the Adobe Reader Metro App is generally well-designed, touch-interface wise. But this lacking feature makes finding my comments a much greater hassle than it should be (as I can see where I highlighted, but not what without traveling directly to the page)
    Also on a side note, I apparently can't delete a sticky note from within the app, what the hell

    You cannot enforce something like that. You have some options when the field is set up to allow rich text formatting, but the user can always change it.

  • Why can I now highlight text with mouse pointer in Adobe Reader 9

    I just downloaded Adobe Reader X. I think I prefer Reader 9. I don't like being able to click in the document and have a flashing place mark (right terminology?) there. This is now happening in the Reader 9 version too, and I can copy text this way, but I don't want this. I didn't change any preferences. Can anyone help?

    Like I said, I didn't change any of the preferences, so I don't know why this happened. I think it only happened after I opened Adobe Reader X. I see no options in preferences for turning on or off the ability to highlight text with your mouse pointer, and I thought you were not supposed to be able to do this in Adobe Reader 9.

  • Adobe Reader 9 highlights text when scrolling in terminal server

    Running a terminal server with WIndow 2003.  Have Adobe 9 Reader installed.  When a pdf is opened, it will look correct.  However, when one uses the scroll bar on the right to see more of the document, text can be highlighted and change colors constantly when scrolling.
    Test it outside of terminal server and it works fine.  This issue did not happen with other versions of Reader.  I have attached two samples one clean and one highlighted. 
    Any help is appreciated

    Very cool. Thanks for the info!

    Okay. Here is what I found. These settings are changed\saved under the User settings in the registry. Here is the key the changes are made to:
    HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Reader\9.0\Originals
    When "NONE" is selected from Adobe Reader - Edit - Preferences - Page Display - Rendering, three DWORD values are added to the above mentioned registry key. These are:
    Value Name - Value Data
    *bAntialiasText - 0
    benableDDR - 0
    iAntialiasThreshold - 12*
    I have added these lines to a login script that adds the necessary DWORD values to default the "Rendering" to NONE.
    *reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V bAntialiasText /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V benableDDR /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /V iAntialiasThreshold /T REG_DWORD /F /D 12*
    Cheers!

  • 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,

  • How do I highlight text in adobe reader PDF files?

    Hi, I am Samyak Veera From US.
    By highlight I mean changing the colour of the selected text, like the function in word. Or do I have to paste the whole article into word to highlight it? How it possible.
    Thanks
    Samyak Veera

    Highlighting and changing the text color is not the same thing!
    Adobe Reader can highlight text by using the Highlight tool.  This can only be done one real text, not "text" on a scanned image.
    To change the text color you will need Acrobat.

  • How do you un-highlight text highlighted in error in Reader?

    How do you un-highlight text highlighted in error in Reader?
    Also How can you change the color of the highlighting?

    Yes i saw, but what i don't understand is that i don't see "Allow Page Breaks within Content" on my textfields :
    Maybe i am using an older version of livecycle.
    In an other order of idea, have you checked if the page was set to allow page breaks?

    I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form.  However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer.  Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • How to highlight text with Adobe Reader XI?

    email [email protected]

    Thanks. The PDF file was made from a web site article and I guess this is the same as scanned as I cannot highlight.  The cursor changes but cannot highlight what I want.
    I was able to add text and I did this in Red and will ask the VA to read under the sections marked in Red.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader X Highlight Text button is grayed out

    I'm trying to highlight text in a pdf document.  At the top of the doc there is an informational note that says "...has been opened in read-only mode to prevent modification." Read-only is ont checked in the properties box. I checked the security and there is none. I have renamed the file with no luck. This is not a scanned document and the text is searchable. I can highlight text in other pdf documents. Any ideas how to get around this read-only setting?
    Also when I tried to add tags to this question I could not underline multiple words as indicated inthe instructions.

    Is there something special about a pdf/a doc?

  • Highlighting Text & Auto Text Options

    I've recently migrated from MS Word to Pages, and I'm determined to make this new relationship work. In Word I used its highlighting text (as with a real highlighter--yellow, pink, etc.) feature, as well as its Auto Text feature, in which I had a number of prescribed, hyperlinked comments. (I'm a teacher, and I would auto text things like, "comma error," which would then be linked to a web page about comma errors.
    Can anyone help me discover ways to do both of these in Pages? Also, is there anything for Pages like MS Word's macros?
    Thanks in advance,
    Brad Carpenter

    Welcome to the forums, Brad.
    There is no direct analogue in Pages to Word's highlighting feature. However, you can use the Comments feature to add specific comments to a specific piece of text (with the advantage that the comments can be easily hidden, since you are not changing the characteristics of the actual text). Simply select a bit of text and click the Comment icon in the toolbar, or from the Insert menu select "Comment". The selected text will highlight in document, and a comments box will appear to the left of the page, in which you can type whatever you want. In the comments box you can select whatever text you want and make it a hyperlink, by going to the Hyperlink Inspector. Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to automate the creation of a hyperlink, at least as far as I know.
    There are plenty of third-party applications that will let you store and add snippets of text easily to any Mac document, including Pages. These include TypeIt4Me, Butler, and even Quicksilver, which has a fanatical following and may be more than you need for this kind of task. I'm sure others here might be able to suggest other apps.
    One caution, however: If you intend to be sharing documents with others, they must be using Pages themselves to take advantage of these features. Unless your students are also using Pages, these workarounds won't really help.

  • Highlighting Text

    Hello
    Since updating Adobe Reader XI I have been unable to highlight text in any pdf document. While other functions, such as the insert text function work, highlighting does not. I have tried to change the base colour but that does not work either.
    I would be grateful for any help/tips.
    Regards
    Anthony

    Hello
    I opened three files:
    One says "Adobe PDF Library 2"
    Another says "Acrobat Distiller 8.0.0. (Windows)"
    Another says "1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)"
    However, in none of the does the text highlight work.
    Is a UK/English encoding problem eg Unicode instead of Western?
    Regards
