How do I unhighlight text in Adobe Reader for Android?

I understand that it's been recently updated, maybe it changed? I've been fiddling w/ it for a while & nothing. Tried redoing the highlighting action, tried tapping the text & clear, or changing the color back to white. Still stays yellow. How do I unhighlight it?

If you cannot select text, then there is no real text there but an image of text.

  • Highlight text in adobe reader for android

    Dear Adobe Reader Team,
    I've had a problem with my adobe reader for android version 11.5.0
    It's not highlighting any text or doesn't even select it when I scroll over.
    Kindly help me with this Problem.
    Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like you have a scanned PDF document.  Because a scanned PDF document contains images of text (not real text), you will not be able to select text or highlight it.  You can still add Freehand drawing and/or sticky notes to a scanned PDF document.
    To recognize text in a scanned PDF document, you need to run special Text Recognition software.  Adobe Acrobat (a paid product) offers the capability, where as free Adobe Reader products do not.

  • 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 can I copy or print all text highlights in Adobe Reader for Android?

    I read many tech books as pdfs. And highlight the parts I want to note.
    Since I am now reading them on an Android Tablet using Adobe Reader for Android, I need to find a way to move my highlights to a separate doc when I am done reading. I don't see instructions for this anywhere.
    How can I copy all text highlights at once from a document?
    And / or
    How can I print all text highlights from a document?
    Thanks,

    Thanks.
    Kindle Reader will let me do that with Kindle books and docs that I buy from
    Amazon, but not with personal docs (such as pdfs) that I import, unfortunately.
    Is a VERY useful feature!

  • How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?

    How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?
    Files from Google Drive are appearing in "Recents" where I cannot organize them hierarchically.
    I cannot find a user manual for Adobe Reader for Android with this level of detail.

    Hi John,
    Files opened via Google Drive are not listed in ‘Documents' section of Adobe Reader, because they are read only files. If you really want to save these files to ’Documents' then please follow below steps -
    Open the file from Google drive in Adobe Reader.
    Tap on the Comment icon placed at top toolbar(Second icon from the beginning)
    You would encounter a 'Read-Only document’ dialog, tap on Save button.
    Once you performed above steps , your file will be saved in /Download/Adobe Reader/ folder.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks,

  • 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

  • Adobe Reader for Android to play video embedded in a PDF document.

    I am a medical  teacher. A large part of my teaching is technical and skills based and I have a lot of teaching video material. I distribute my material to my students as PDF documents with embedded videos. They can presently only read this on their PCs. It would be wonderful if I could place that material in a 7 inch Android tablet in their coat pockets. They could review a "how to"  video and text immediately before perfoming a medical procedure.  It is so easy and fast to prepare a Word text document, convert it to PDF embedded with a simple cropped video clip. Also the original word document can be updated in moments and be converted into  a fresh PDF with video in a minute later to replace the one on the student computer or tablet whenever. This makes the teaching material a living text easy to keep permanently up to date. To date I have not managed to find an eReader or Tablet that that I could play an video embedded in a PDF document. The problem is Adobe Reader for Android doesn't do this. Does anyone know of any other easy way to produce documents with embedded video that can also be read on a pocket size tablet or eReader?  Is Adobe going to upgrade Adobe Reader for Android to this ability sometime? Is there any other PDF reading app that can play embedded video?

    GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

  • Seeing black boxes instead of hyperlinks using Adobe Reader for Android except in Reflow Mode

    I am using Adobe Reader for Android (on an Android table) to view some PDF reports that have hyperlinks in them. In Reflow Mode, I can see the hyperlinks as blue underlined text, as I would expect. In Continuous or Single Page mode, these hyperlinks are displayed as black boxes. The hyperlinks still work if you click on the black box. Can someone tell me what is causing this and how I can fix it?

  • Adobe Reader for Android - Arabic support issue

    Dear Support,
    I am trying to reach the developer for long time but the email provided is a mailing list which no one else has the right to post to it except their team.
    There is a big problem with Arabic words searching in an Arabic PDF file with adobe Reader for android. To search for a word, I have to write the words backward, like instead of "Adobe" I have to write "ebodA" but in Arabic language. I know that your app developers are Indians, but please let an Arabic person show you how he can't search for a word in an Arabic PDF file. Please fix it urgently. it is very important for the Arabic language readers. Thanks for your action.

  • Adobe Reader for Android - Links are now invisible on Android Phone!

    After the latest update to Adobe Reader for Android - Links are now invisible on Android Phone!

    Hi,
    You are correct,with the latest update, we have modified the links appearance.
    This decision was based on a feedback from the users.
    We changed the appearance as users were reporting that the 'blue rectangles' that used to indicate links, were interfering with their document viewing experience.Also, since those rectangles are actually not how the author made the file, we wanted to make the file look exactly as the author had desired.
    Thanks,

  • Can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet?

    I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

    Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.
