Highlights appear clear only, unable to make them colored in Acrobat XI Pro

When I try to use the highlight tool to highlight text in a pdf file the highlights appear clear only. The color is set to yellow in the properties and the opactiy setting is not the issue. Also when I highlight it creates a ballon icon which it has not previously. Any ideas?

That has been driving me crazy too.   Just started failing within the last month.
I blamed Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.10 update on Win 7
An Acrobat user said it worked fine for them.
11.0.9 works fine for me on Win 8
Adobe Flash has been giving me absolute fits;  it will not update.
I used Adobe uninstall utility to remove it completely so I could use full installer.
That doesn't work either, so now I am "flashless" on Win7.
It occurred to me that perhaps Adobe was using Flash to implement
highlighting in Acrobat.   During my experimentation, I noticed if
I highlighted text ( Yellow ), no highlight appeared ... but Acrobat
said the document was modified when I tried to save.
I R-clicked the highlight, chose "Properties" and changed the
color from Yellow to anything else.
It works ... treat Acrobat and Snow the same  ( avoid the yellow )
and you'll be fine.
How very very strange.

    What OS? What are you doing when you get this message? Does your account at Adobe show your subscription? Basically, we have no clue where this message is coming from and it is hard to even start trying to address the issue.

  • Can't Make PDF's with Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP Pro

    I just recently installed Acrobat 9 with the CS4 suite and can't make a PDF from either my scanner or MS Word. It says that my scanner can't do "Presets" and I don't see how I can change that. And Acrobat just tries for about ten minutes to make a PDF from a Word document and then says there's an error. I can't save to the Adobe PDF printer either.
    I'm about ready to reinstall Acrobat 6 so I can make PDF's - this is crazy. Is there a way that I can get Acrobat 9 to at least accept my scanner? It's an older HP 4-in-1 machine.

    Maybe you misunderstand. The standard output for the Adobe PDF printer it the PDF Port. That is indeed a print to a file (a PS file) and then Distiller is activated in the background to finish converting the file to a PDF. By print to file, I mean the print-to-file check box on the print screen. That will allow you to print to a PS file, though it may have an extension of PRN. You can then open that file in Distiller to complete the conversion. If that works, then your problem is likely that AcroTray is not running in the background.
    AcroTray must be active for normal printer operation. When it fails you should still be able to print-to-file and then open the file in the Distiller to complete the process. That was my point and I am not sure that is what you have done. If it is, then I apologize for beating the point to death. The print-to-file is not the same as the PDF creation.

  • Unable to access options in Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    I had to reinstall my copy of Adobe Acrobat X Pro on a new computer.  I did the complete installation.  However, I can no longer access certain options that I normally use.  These options are all grayed out.  For example, I cannot select the "insert from file" option when trying to merge 2 PDF files.  I tried removing and then reinstalling the program, but that still did not work.  Can anyone help?

    Hi akchang,
    I am not sure which option you are referring to here but try updating Acrobat to v 10.1.10 and check.

  • The urgent notice to update to Firefox 5.0 for security reasons warned that"Incompatible Add-ons Found" and won't work until made compatible but how do I make them"compatible?"

    When I tried to respond to the urgent notice to update to Firefox 5.0 for security reasons I was stopped by a screen that said "Incompatible Add-ons Found" It identified two add-ons, Move Media Player 1.0.0.07103010 and Real Player Browser Record Plugin 14.0.3 that would be disabled. It said that "as soon as they are "made compatible" Firefox will update and re-enable these add-ons" It is not clear who is to make them compatile. I have no idea how to make them compatible and I don't even know what they are for. I don't want to lose any functionality as the result of an update, so what should I do?

  • When duplicating a field, even when the original field is locked, the duplicated fields appear at different positions on pages that are the same size. How do I make them uniform?

    I'm trying to put a hidden time stamp field on the bottom of all pages of a thousand page document, yet when I duplicate the field, the reproduced fields appear at different positions on different pages. Is there a way to make them all appear uniformly on each page. I've tried using the Lock function in the Properties menu before duplicating but to no avail. Please help.

    I go to Tools>Forms> Edit...Do you want to detect...No. Add New Field>Text Field. I lay out my field at the bottom of the page, adjust the Properties (Hidden but printable, read only, font, alignment), Lock the Properties. Then I right-click and hit Duplicate.

  • HT5548 can you make apps appear on only one users launchpad

    Hi I have recently got an imac and on the computer we have my user page, my wifes user page and one for our kids. We have downloaded some educational apps for the kids but I was just wondering if there was a way to make them just appear on the kids pag and not mine?
    Any help greatly appreciated

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    On your Mac, you have one Applications folder stored on /Applications, and applications stored there shows on all users, and then, each user has got an Applications folder on ~/Applications, where you must save the apps that you want to show only on one user.
    In your case, log in your kids user. Then, open Finder, choose the applications you want to show only on that account with Command key, go to Edit menu and select Copy.
    After that, go to Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Applications. Finally, right-click on the Finder window and press Paste, so applications will appear on that folder.
    Also, to delete those applications from /Applications, choose Applications on the Finder sidebar, select the applications you copied to ~/Applications, and move them to the Trash. After doing this, those applications will only appear on your kids user

  • HT4463 I got I tune gift cards...I'd like to use them purchasing other items at apple store...BUT they appear geared only to purchase tunes...it keeps referring me to billing information even though I have money in credit

    I got I tune gift cards...I'd like to use them purchasing other items at apple store...BUT they appear geared only to purchase tunes...it keeps referring me to billing information even though I have money in credit

    Credit balances do not expire. First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your cards.  If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
    If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display, thought it would be unlikely that you spent the entire balance unless you have a credit card on file as well.
    If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible?

    Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible? I am now having to bookmark it to the "bookmark menu" and then manually moving it to the folder I want cause it is not being displayed.

    No there is no arrow besides any of the folders (I do not have any sub-folders); I do have a "choose..." option, but that does not work either in showing all of the folders.

    Why can't I update my pymt info?? Is my only option really to wait around 4-5 days, while I am unable to make necessary purchases???

    Without details about the problem, there's not much we can suggest other than to contact iTunes Store Support. The iTunes Store has no phone support, so I don't know what call you think you'd be waiting for. Go here:

  • My photo stream shows all my pictures of 200  on my iPhone but my iPad is only showing 53 of them. How do I make my iPad show everything?

    I have over 200 photos on my iPhone photo stream but my iPad 2 only shows 53 of them.

    Photo stream photos appear after you enable the feature on your devices so any photos that were already on the phone when you turned on Photo Stream on the iPad, will not appear. Only photos that you take on the phone moving forward will appear on the iPad.

  • I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

    I do not see my music and videos icon....how do I make them appear?

    If you can't find the Music and Videos apps on any of your homescreens or app folders, then can you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
