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,
Vernon Pobanz

How do I highlight text in adobe reader PDF files?

Hi, I am Samyak Veera From US.
By highlight I mean changing the colour of the selected text, like the function in word. Or do I have to paste the whole article into word to highlight it? How it possible.
Thanks
Samyak Veera

Highlighting and changing the text color is not the same thing!
Adobe Reader can highlight text by using the Highlight tool. This can only be done one real text, not "text" on a scanned image.
To change the text color you will need Acrobat.

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.

I need to highlight the texts/words in Adobe Reader and Acrobat as well. Is there any common function/API available for both?

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,
Adobe Reader Team

Problem with highlighting texts in Adobe Reader X

i've a problem with the highlighting tool, it can only highlight one word at a time, it isn't possible for me to drag and highlight. i've tried updating but to no avail. in addition, i can't use the snapshoot tool either. basically any function that requires a click-and-drag motion is disabled. i'd greatly appreciate it if a kind soul may help me with this issue please!! thank you very much!

PDF files have to be specially enabled for you to save the contents. It appears the old version of these files had this capability, but the new version does not. Without Acrobat you will be unable to save the files. If these are truly government files, you can try going to the government's website and see if you can download a copy that will allow you to save the form field data.

How to highlight a scanned doc with adobe reader x?

how to highlight a scanned doc with adobe reader x?

Upgrade to Reader XI and you'll be able to use non text-related highlighting tools, such as the square, oval, cloud, polygon, etc.
With Reader X these tools are only available if the author applied a special right to the file. In Reader XI they're available by default.

Why can I now highlight text with mouse pointer in Adobe Reader 9

I just downloaded Adobe Reader X. I think I prefer Reader 9. I don't like being able to click in the document and have a flashing place mark (right terminology?) there. This is now happening in the Reader 9 version too, and I can copy text this way, but I don't want this. I didn't change any preferences. Can anyone help?

Like I said, I didn't change any of the preferences, so I don't know why this happened. I think it only happened after I opened Adobe Reader X. I see no options in preferences for turning on or off the ability to highlight text with your mouse pointer, and I thought you were not supposed to be able to do this in Adobe Reader 9.

Problem with selecting text in Adobe Reader XI

Hi all, I am encountering a problem with Adobe Reader XI and it is very strange I could not find an alike issue on the internet so I guess I have to submit a question with it.
So here it is, I am using Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.2, operating system: Windows 7. I do not know it starts from when but it has the problem with selecting text - to be copied in pdf documents. I ensure that the documents are not scanned documents but word-based documents (or whatever you call it, sorry I cannot think of a proper name for it).
Normally, you will select the text/paragraph you want to copy and the text/paragraph will be highlighted, but the problem in this case that I cannot select the text/paragraph, the blinking pointer (| <-- blinking pointer) will just stays at the same location so I cannot select/highlight anything to be copied. It happens oftenly, not all the time but 90%.
This is very annoying as my work involves very much with copying text from pdf documents, I have to close the pdf file and then open it again so I can select the text but then after the first copying or second (if I am lucky), the problem happens again. For a few text I have to type it myself, for a paragraph I have to close all opening pdf documents and open again so I could select the paragraph to copy. I ran out of my patience for this, it causes trouble and extra time for me just to copying those texts from pdf documents. Does this problem happen to anyone and do you have a solution for this? I would much appreciate if you could help me out, thank you!

Yeah, I totally agree, this is very strange. I have always been using Adobe Reader but this problem only occurred ~three months ago. It must be that some software newly installed I think. But I have no idea.
About your additional question, after selecting the texts and Ctrl + C, the texts are copied and nothing strange happens. It's just that right after I managed to copy the texts, it takes me a while to be able to select the texts again. For your information, I just tested to select the texts and then pressed Ctrl, the problem happened. And then I tried pressing C and then others letters, it all led to the problem.
I guess I have to stick with left-clicked + Copy until I/someone figure the source of this problem. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello,
How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
I don’t see any link?
1.      We have a subscription.
2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
Only the tekstlinks are OK.

How do I manually add the php3 file type to work with Adobe Reader, Safari does this automatically.

downloading php3 files auto jumps to text edit,, cannot tell it to open with "adobereader" , no chance to do so. Tried reading on how I might add the file manually to tell preferences applications to add this file type and open it with adobe reader. Only saw download the file and then firefox will let you open with a program. Can't get there in that text edit opens it.
Safari has no problems with this in that it opens it in adobe reader easily, no work on my part so ????
how do I get firefox to do the same

Do you get the dialog asking whether you want to Open, Save or Cancel? That may indicate the file type Firefox thinks it is getting from the server.
If you can't coax Firefox into revealing the content type indicated by the server, could you post a link to one of the PDFs, assuming no login is required to access one?

How do I bate stamp with Adobe reader x1

How do I bate stamp documents with Adobe reader XI?
Thanks

You can add text annotations with Reader XI, though, and a script could be used to automate this task, thereby bates stamping the file. However, these annotations can also be easily removed, so it might not be an ideal solution.
If you really need this functionality you might want to invest in Acrobat, as mentioned.

How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
ZOOMING:
Zoom into the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
SNAPSHOT
Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
Hope this helps!
