How to highlight PDFs

Is there a way to highlight PDFs in iBooks? I have reports I am reading and would like to highlight parts of them. If not what's my other options? Printing would be a lot of paper. So I'm looking for a simpler way to do research and notations on important information for my work. Suggestions please.

iBooks actually did used to permit the highlighting of text, I remember doing it with PDFs (though getting these off the iPad was difficult). The only time this would not be allowed if it was scanned, so the pages were images. With the latest version of iBooks though it doesn't seem to be possible with anything except iTunes bought e-books.

  • Q:  how to highlight PDF created via scanner?

    hi:
    1. i'm going to assume that this is a very basic question but i can't figure out how to highlight text in a PDF file that i created via flatbed scanner.
    2. i have no problem highlighting PDF files that i may have created via the web, but for some unclear reason, when i try to highlight stuff in a PDF file that was created via my scanner, nothing happens.
    thanks for any feedback / suggestions. harry

    >but for some unclear reason, when i try to highlight stuff in a PDF file that was created via my scanner, nothing happens.
    It's very clear. You're trying to highlight text that doesn't exist. It's just a picture of text.
    Google OCR or look for the same topic in the Acrobat help files. You "may" be able to convert it to text. Then you can highlight it.

  • How to highlight pdf text

    Hello, My Adobe Reader X1 won't allow me to highlight text. Can someone provide me with step by step instructions on how this is done? Could it be my security software that's keeping this command from working, or does this option not work within the free version of Adobe Reader X1? So frustrated!!!.

    Most likely, the file you're trying to work on doesn't have actual text, but an image (probably scanned) of text. If the file hasn't been through an OCR process (in Adobe Acrobat, for example) then you can't use any of the text-related commenting tools on it, since they have nothing to "hang on" to. You can still use the Drawing Markups tools, such as the Rectangle tools, to achieve a similar result.
    To know for sure if that's indeed the issue with your file you can try selecting the text using the selection tool. If you can't select it, it's an image.

  • How to batch PDF multiple emails already saved to system

    Hi everyone,
    I would be very grateful for advice as to whether there is a way to PDF multiple saved emails at once using Abode? I have seen that it is possible to create multiple PDFs at once of emails in Outlook - but is there a way of batch creating multiple PDFs from emails which have already been saved to the system as 'Outlook Items'?
    Whilst I know how to batch PDF Word documents etc, this doesn't seem to be an option in Adobe (we use Adobe XI) for emails. Likewise, if I simply highlight all the emails and right-click 'Convert to Adobe PDF', this replaces the name of each email as 'Memo Style' (whereas it works for Word documents).
    We have many hundreds/thousands of emails saved on our work system as 'Outlook Items' (done before we upgraded systems and were able to save emails directly as PDFs from Outlook), and we need to convert them to PDF for upload to a new database programme, so it would be very helpful indeed if there were a way of avoiding having to convert them all one by one...
    Many thanks in advance,
    Zara

  • Highlighting PDF documents

    Is it possible that Apple can copy, define & search on words within PDF documents, but they can figure out how to highlight words and sections as they do with books? This is a fundamental feature missing for a long time.

    Thanks for the hint. I think I've just discovered why I cannot do it. The pdf document I'm trying to highlight is the result of the output from a scanner. Hence it is effectively a "picture" - not text. The only thing that I have been able to do is to choose Annotate and then choose "Add Oval" or whatever and select its size and colour and then position this over the text I wish to highlight.
    Because it is effectively a picture you cannot select text. I tried it on another pdf document that IS text and your solution works a treat.
    Thanks again
    Malcolm

  • 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,

  • How to link PDF document in Report Layout??

    I need to display the contents of PDF document after the form letter report. I tried OLE object but at the runtime it does not display the content. Does any one knows how to attach PDF document in reports layout?
    Thanks
    Ravindra

    you will have to concatinate your report output with the static PDF document. in reprots 10g you can create a cusotm destination that could implement this functionality.
    out of the box, reports does not provide the ability to add static content in PDF to reports' generated PDF output.
    thanks,
