How do I highlight a PDF document using Adobe Reader 8?

I frequently need to highlight text in PDF documents, such as user manuals, just for my own use.  When I looked up "highlighting text" in the Knowledge Base, I found the following statement:  "Commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow typically include commenting rights."   Is this the reason why I have not been able to find the Highlight Text tool option in any of the documents?  Is there a workaround for this issue? 

Thank you for your suggestion to search in Google.  I found a few truly free, not just free trial offers, PDF editors, which I will need to test to find the one that will work best for my purpose.  Thanks, again.

  • Issue with web links in PDF document using adobe reader 10.1.1

    Hi,
    We are creating the PDF documents that contains website links. The problem that is occurring is whenever we click on the website links in the pdf file, it opens up IE browser but just show connecting message without actually showing the link and its content. This is ocuurring when we open the PDF using adobe reader 10.1.1 . However it seems to be working fine with Adobe reader 9 . Moreover the length of the URL is bit large and seems like links work fine when we have 253 characters in the URL and if they are more than that then it is not working.Since it is working fine in Adobe reader 9 is there any constraint imposed on the length of URL with adobe reader 10.1.1 . Anything regarding this will be of great help.

    Hi..
    Try removing a plugin...
    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

  • New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

    Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS.  However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete. 
    According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
    Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
    Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
    (It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
    Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
    Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

    Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
    Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
    Thanks,
    Cam

  • Which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9?

    Hello,
        which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9? It is said that "CosDocSaveWithParams" can't be used.
    thanks!
    jimmy

    Unless the PDF file is "READER ENABLED for SAVE" (see the adobe product pages on LiveCycle Reader extensions server)
    You are not able to call a Save at all, if the document is reader enabled then you need to use the JavaScript call to save the document,
    As you appear to be wanting to do this in a plug-in you would need to call the script from a plug-in, this can be done using the AFExecuteThisScript () function call.
    Please note that this does will fail if the document is not reader enabled for save and you need to include the Forms HFT in your plug-in,
    This plug-in would also have to be approved by Adobe to be used with the reader and as you are implementing a function that is available in the full Acrobat product this may not be a straight forward approval.

  • Annotate pdf documents using the reader plugin in the browser

    Is it possible to annotate pdf documents using the reader plugin in the browser?

    Sorry I do not have answers, and do not know details of the Mac/Adobe plugins problems.
    Conspiracy theorists may wonder whether Adobe is constantly reviewing cost/benefit of supporting various OS s & Browsers.
    One may note
    * Flash Ubuntu development has effectively ceased, with all support ceasing in a few years http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html
    * Firefox on Windows Flash11.3 et seq has had many problems, I certainly have not noticed Adobe rolling out rapid and successful fixes for those problems
    * and Android support was dropped http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html

  • Error opening DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader

    I am having problem opening a DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader. When I open the document I get a message if I want want to connect to xx.xxxxx.xx server (Allow / Disallow), I click Allow then I get this error message without prompting me for the login box.
    "An error occurred while performing this operation. Contact an administrator if this problem continues."
    What is strange is that when I open the document using Acrobat Professional then there is no error and I get login box.
    I tried this in Acrobat 8 and 9 Reader with latest updates.
    Please help.

    The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.  
    You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
    See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf
    And the Cross Domain Policy File Specification: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html

  • Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader.

    Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader. Do I have to pay for it or just sign up? Thank you in advance.

    "...the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader." 
    Not possible.
    No version of Adobe Reader can:
    --| create PDF 
    --| manipulate PDF page content  
    --| export PDF page content
    Adobe Reader XI does provide a "connection" to various Adobe hosted online subscription services (that are under "acrobat.com").
    There is a subscription services can create PDF from supported file formats that are uploaded to the service.
    This subscription service is "PDF Pack".
    With an active (paid up) subscription to a service one can make use of the service.
    Be well...

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

  • Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?

    Once I've saved a PDF document in Adobe Reader is there a way to add additional documents later?
    If not is there a way to combine lets say 100 documents into another PDF file at once (Batch export) in PDF Pack software or do I have to add each document one by one drop and drag style?
    Thanks

    What has this got to do with Photoshop?
    In Acrobat Pro one can combine pdfs (Combine Files into PDF) and Photoshop (not in CS5, but again in CS6) offers File > Auromate > PDF Presentation to combine Photoshop files in one pdf.

  • Can Data Be Written To A Called PDF When Using Adobe Reader 9?

    Can data be written and saved to another called pdf when using Adobe READER 9?

    You'll have to expand on your description for a full answer - but all things considered, it would be possible.
    If the "called" (this is one of the things you need to clarify - do you mean a PDF opened via the JavaScript openDoc method?) PDF discloses itself, then the "calling" PDF can execute an importXFDF or similar call on that PDF as long as they are Reader Extended.
    Past that, you'll need to give us more information on exactly what you're trying to do.
