  • Copy Highlighted Text in Pdf file

    Hi everyone,
    Recently I downloaded the Adobe Reader X (version 10.0). This version allows me to highlight text (in yellow colour). However, If I want to copy a highlighted block of text (for instance to paste into a Word document), I am not able to do this. When I select the highlighted text and click on the right mouse click, it doesn't give me the opportunity to copy this text. Therefore, I was wondering whether I can copy the highlighted text in another way?
    Thanks in advance for a reply.
    Kind regards,
    Sleighon

    Indeed, I do not understand what the problem is.  When I tested it yesterday (using Reader 11.0.1) I actually took some screenshot, but I didn't think it necessary to post them.  I'll do it now.
    Opening a random PDF from My Documents
    then highlight some text
    apply the Select Tool (using right-click)
    select the same highlighted text
    copy (Ctrl+C) then paste it into an empty Word document
    Ok, the highlighting did not get copied over - is this the problem?

  • This is going to sound really ridiculous but, what is an "interactive" PDF?  I received a PDF from an organization which stated it was furnishing an "interactive PDF" but on which I am not even able to highlight or make comments.

    This is going to sound really ridiculous but, what is an "interactive" PDF? 
    I received a PDF from an organization which stated it was furnishing an "interactive PDF" but on which I am not even able to highlight or make comments. 

    Well turned out it is secured, but if you can't even highlight points, can you still refer to it as "interactive?" 
    The problem was that they furnished both a book and a PDF file which are identical and I am unable to understand the point. I would refer to the PDF as  "flat" or "static" rather than "interactive."   It seems redundant and I find the description misleading.  It's also remarkably wasteful. 
    (Also, visualize the levels of efficiency between 1) scrolling through a PDF, highlighting certain points, and keyboarding comments vs 2) turning pages in a book, picking up a pen to highlight areas, and getting out the pen and paper to handwrite comments.)  
    Thanks so much for taking the time.

    Chester31,
    Thank you very much for sharing your file with us!  Now that we are able to reproduce the problem at our end, you may stop sharing the file on Acrobat.com.
    Do you know when this problem (for not being able to add new highlight/strikeout/underline) has started?  Did you update your iOS from 7.x to 8.0 recently?
    We will continue investigating the problem and let you know what we find.
    Thank you again for your help.

  • Extract highlighted text in PDF

    Hi,
      I want to write a tool which can extract highlighted text from the pdf and export the text into another pdf file. Can somebody give me directions how to do that.
    if you think some tool already has that capacity, please let me know. Most of the tool I know just extract the summary like the location of the highlighted portion but not the actual text associated with it.

    Hello,
    This looks this issue is specific to this particular banking site and we definitely want to know more to help resolve this issue. It is likely that this particular functionality is not supported on Firefox and I would suggest that you report this to the bank and request them to support it soon.
    That said, there are a few things you can do from the details provided in the [[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]] SUMO article. Specifically, the section about [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] and reporting the website might help us provide more information.
    If this is a banking site used by any of the other volunteers who are willing to dig more to find out why, they will try to provide the resolution sooner.
    I know this is not really a resolution that will help you, but given that I don't have much information as to what is the offending part of the website causing the issue, I can only suggest this much.
    Thank you

  • How to write a unicode text in pdf file

    Dear Friends,
    I am a beginner in acrobat pdf plug-in development. I was trying to write a unicode text (Tamil text) into pdf file.
    Using same api I am able to write english text in time-roman, areal etc fonts. But I am not able to write tamil texts.
    The code is as below:
            memset(&pdeFontAttrs, 0, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs));
            pdeFontAttrs.name = ASAtomFromString("Latha");
            pdeFontAttrs.type = ASAtomFromString("TrueType");
            pdeFont    = PDEFontCreateFromSysFont(                                        \
                            PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs), 0),    \
                            kPDEFontCreateEmbedded);
            pdeText = PDETextCreate();
            PDETextAdd(pdeText, kPDETextRun, 0, (ASUInt8 *)buffer, _tcslen(buffer),
                                    pdeFont, &gState, sizeof(gState), NULL, 0, &textMatrix, NULL);
            PDEContentAddElem(pdeContent, kPDEAfterLast, (PDEElement)pdeText);
            PDPageSetPDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);  
            PDPageReleasePDEContent (pdPage, gExtensionID);
    KIndly assume that PDEGraphicsState and PDETextMatrix are set properly set, I am not pasting entire code to avoid complexity.
    Thank you,
    Safiq

    Dear lrosenth,
    I went through some codes/suggestions in internet and I found that I need to have cmap file and cid font file for the respective font since pdf doesn't support unicode fonts directly.
    Can you help me to know where can I get cmap file and cid font file for tamil language font Latha(TrueType) microsoft font.

  • Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

    I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

    Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.
