How do i highlight text in a pdf document

how do i highlight test in PDF document?

Thank you so much, Bill, for your reply.  My problem was/is that I could
not get the highlight tool to work.  I tried countless times before posting
my query on the website.  You assumed correctly; I was/am working with text.
I was using Adobe reader to highlight text in an Adobe doc I had created
and need to forward to a third party.  I wanted to highlight that text in
the document that is salient to the actions I am asking of the third party.
Perhaps the highlight tool cannot be used in a previously created Adobe
document.  In any event, I do appreciate your reply.

  • How can I copy text from a PDF document in bb pbk?

    I've tried to copy a text from a PDF document but adobe reader doesn't give me that option. How can I do it? or there is a better reader for PDF that allows to copy, make bookmarks, to highlights?

    If the PDF is not an IMAGE, you can using a free program called PDF-XChange Viewer from Tracker Software. If the PDF was done as an image then you will not be able to select the text.

  • How do I select text in a PDF document?

    I have a text-based PDF document, but I can only select text by restarting the reader. Once I select "Take a Snapshot" I can't select text anymore. How do I switch back to select text? I tried right-clicking on the document but I don't see any "selection" tool. I am using 11.0.3 under Win 7.

    Just tested this (Reader 11.0.3 on Windows XP), and your scenario is exactly so.
    I have been able to go back to get the Select Tool by clicking on the Highlight tool in the Toolbar, then right-clicking on the document.
    But it's definitely a bug in my view.

  • How can i edit text on a pdf document on acrobat i professional

    can anyone please help me, I've got acrobat 8 professional and i'm trying to edit text, can i do it and how can I do it?

    You wrote: I have tried creating the background image as a pdf . . .
    The whole thing is already a PDF.
    What application are you using to try and make changes?
    Are you now using InDesign to recreate the gift voucher?
    Or are you opening the Photoshop PDF and trying to resize the live text layers?
    There shouldn't be any issue with making 120 pt text. I just created a 250 pt text layer in PS as a test.
    Have you enlarged the text box? If the text box isn't that big. making the text larger make cause it to overset and no longer be visible.
    Grab the corner of the text box and drag it to enlarge it.
    If things aren't working correctly, it would be faster to recreate the gift voucher in InDesign.
    You mentioned having the background image, just add the text are you are ready to print.
    After rereading your last post it is unclear who will be adding the text for the money amount.
    Are you adding this yourself before printing, or are you hoping to give a PDF to the client where he can add/change the money amount?
    Things like this need to be mentioned upfront.

  • If I highlight text in a pdf, all the text on the page disappears when I next open the saved document. How to retrieve my text?

    When I use the highlight tool in a pdf document and then save the document, the next time I open the document the highlight is still there, but the whole page does not contain any text anymore. Totally blank. How do I retrieve my text?

    Well, you need a PDF viewer – and that would be Adobe Reader.
    Those parameters only work for web-served documents, not for local ones.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to control Adobe PDF plugin from within a Web Application? For Example, Can we highlight text in the PDF/A document programatically?

    Hi,
    I am trying to open a PDF document in browser using Adobe PDF plug-in for IE 9. The plugin version is 10.x
    I need to highlight certain text in the PDF document ( which is searchable) programmatically. For example, when a user selects certain text on the web-page, we want to automatically highlight that in the PDF document.

    I don't think this is a question one can answer by simply downloading the SDK. And even if one reads all the documentation (it rarely happens for obvious reasons), it is not easy to reach an answer because its explanation is not trivial at all.
    In my own opinion, this is right the type of question to be put and (hopefully) answered in a Forum.
    Now, I am not sure about the correct answer but I will give one hint.
    If I am not wrong, the Internet Explorer, IE, PDF viewer by Adobe is actually a .dll file which is put under IE once Adobe Reader is installed. A custom plug-in for Reader or Acrobat is also a .dll file (Windows) but its extension is .api and it needs to be copied under Reader or Acrobat (or both). Therefore, I don't see how we can merge the IE viewer .dll with a custom plug-in .api. Though maybe technically possible, I don't think it is something we can do.
    If above reasoning is correct, the answer to the question is No.

  • How can I highlight text

    How can I highlight text in PDFs on adobe.ccom?

    Hi hervorheben,
    If the file is saved on Acobat.com, you need to download it and open it in Reader (or Acrobat) to use the commenting tools (including the Highlight tool). To download a file, log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, select the file that you want to work on, and click the Download link at the top of the page.
    Best,

  • How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    but Pages is NOT a 3rd party app.  it's an application that's programmed by apple.  it's supposed to act something like Word in MS office, but that is not at all true. 
    choices for editing text, highlighting, et al., like what you find in MS Office Word, should be immediately available whenever you are inside of a Pages document, but that is not the case. 
    don't you wish that when you buy an apple app for apple/macs that is supposed to be like a windows something or another that it really is?

    How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

    You have to remember that Digital Editions was never designed to have 'text
    editor' capabilities.  BTW: Bluefire and Overdrive also have such
    limitations.  Put in another frame of reference, DE presents you with the
    ebook, as you would be presented with a physical printed book.
