Printing highlighted text

Just wondering if there is a easier way to print only the text I highlight on a web page other than cutting and pasting in a Word document? Thanks!

Greetings,
It would help immensely if you filled out your profile with the specific Mac you're using, the exact version of Mac OS X you're running, and which version of Safari you're referring to. All those things make a difference for any solution, and we can't be expected to guess.
Generally speaking, you can use Print Selection to do this from the Services menu.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 prints highlighted text fields, instead of turning off highlights

I have an electronic medical record with highlighted fields which I fill in. When printing, every other printer only prints the text but not the highlighted background. Unfortunately, the HP laserjet prints the gray background. How do I turn that off?

I have an HP laserjet 4L with a usb adapter connected to the airport via a usb hub, and have had little trouble, except for last night it kept printing 1 partial page over and over. I printed multiple pages at once, I figured the printer just OD'd, after all its an old printer. I have one laptop that uses Vista, and its always giving me grief. Vista

Can't print highlighted text on pdf's in Preview

I had printing problems with my office printer Canon IR series. the Canon update UFR II V 2.24 fixed this but brought a new problem.
I can't print annotated pdf's correctly.
Any highlighted text is covered with a full colour bar with no text visible under it. It just covers the text.
Is there a fast way of printing with no annotations or of fixing this problem and just print the highlights correctly?!
Thanks

Just tested this to the iR C3380i using the UFR2 v2.24 and can replicate the symptom. I found that if you change the Graphics Mode from UFR2 to Raster, the text will print. To get to this setting, select to print with the UFR2 driver and change to the Quality menu. Then select Quality Setting button to show the Quality Settings pane. Here you will see the Raster Mode setting. Select and OK the change and now you can print the annotated PDF.
You will probably note that this workaround was the same solution to the Graphics Mode message that appeared with the previous version of the UFR2 driver with the 10.6.7 update. The v2.24 driver stopped this message from appearing but this latest symptom would suggest there is still something not completely right with this new driver, although I seem to remember there being issues with the older driver on earlier versions of 10.6 and the Graphics Mode setting was the only solution.

See & print highlighted text

I wonder if, for future updates of Adobe Reader, you could include the following feature: It would be very useful if, in the right column, besides viewing the content of the sticky notes, it could be possible to see the highlighted text. And it would be even better if all this information could be printed.
Thanks

How can I print highlighted text or images in Mail?

This seems like it should be available in the screen that pops up when you print. What gives?

You can use a Services menu item:

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I'd like students to be able to view my comments on printed version of their papers.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I am a teacher, and I would like students to be able to view my comments on printed versions of their papers. I know word displays the comments off to the side of the document, and those comments can be viewed all at once and printed alongside the document.

There doesn't appear to be a way to print conmments in either Pages or Numbers in the Mavericks versions.

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!

Highlight text for Print

I am trying to find a way to be able to highlight text in a document and and then print it with the text highlighted (as you would when reading an article and marking thru important points with a pen highlighter) Also how would I highlight multiple but different text lines so that they all show? I can't seem to find a key that will allow it. (ie. control or option key)
Thanks for your advice,
Glen

ApleWorks doesn't provide for any method to directly "highlight text for printing," or for display on a monitor, for that matter. The 'highlighting' you see after dragging across a line or block of text is an indication that the text is Selected, and may now be manipulated, but tat highlighting will not appear on a printed page.
You can "place a colour block behind" the text to create an effect similar to running a hi-liter across the text on a printed page, it's fairly easy, and the result will print.
Show the Tools palette (Window > Show tools, or click the red toolbox at the lower left of the document window).
Use the Rectangle tool to draw a rectangle that just covers the text you want to highlight.
Use the Fill formatting button then the color palette to select a highlight colour. Repeat using the formatting button then the color palette to set the line colour to the same value as the fill colour.
Copy the rectangle so that you can re-use it.
Go Arrange > Move to back to place the rectangle behind the (now highlighted) text.
Still in Draw mode (you should have the Arrow mouse pointer—if not, click on the Selection tool {arrow} in the tools palette), Paste another copy of the coloured rectangle, drag it to the next line of text you want to highlight, and adjust the length to cover the text to be highlighted. Move to back as above. Repeat as necessary.
NOTE that these rectangles are not part of the text, but floating objects. If you edit text above the highlighted portion, change fonts or size, or change style (eg. to bold), the text to be highlighted will move, but the rectangles will not. Best to leave this highlighting until you've finished otherwise revising text.
NOTE2: When resizing small rectangles like this, it's easy to change their height when trying to change only their length.
TIP: When you have one the right size for the text size and font you are using, select it, then go Options > Object size... and note the height of the object, reported in the second box in the right column. For subsequent highlight rectangles, after adjusting the length to fit the text to be highlighted, open the Object size dialogue, enter the correct size into the Height box, then press tab to confirm the entry.

I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form. However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer. Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

How to print some text in BOLD in a classical report

Hi,
I need to print some selected text in BOLD in classical report.
Went through SDN forum...came across some suggestions like using class cl_dd_document and its functions..
The problem is that one of its function "add_text" allows to highlight text...but the display function "display_document" requires a container to display, whereas mine is a simple classical report...am i wrong somewhere..or is there any other method to do the same...
Thanks!!

Hi Deepti,
I am not sure that is possible on a classical report ntu you can use colors to highlight a part of the report output in order to check the various options you have with format is to check F1 on format.

Printing to windows printer via SMB - Printing garbled text

Hi all.
I have been working on this issue for around 3 hrs this morning and finally figured it out. Thought I'd post what I did to help others with similar issues.
Here's my set up:
I have a PC with HP photosmart printer connected to it. I've a Macbook Pro that I connect to the PC via SMB protocol for file sharing. If I wanted to print from the mac to the printer I had to disconnect the printer form the PC and directly connect it to the mac. I wanted to be able to print from the Mac to the printer via the PC. Should be that hard right as I have already successfully file shared via SMB.
Well it was a little difficult. I did many a search on here and the web and eventually found the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2231.html
So, following these steps i tried to print a single page word (office 2008 for mac) doc from the mac. Hey presto! The printer kicked into life and started...
...problem was it spewed out around 20 pages of Garbled text! I tought it might have been print jobs stacked up from the last unsuccessful attemt at doing this but no, no jobs there. Thought it might have been Word/office for mac, etc. so tried to print from Text Edit but same thing.
After hrs of screaming, F'ing & Blinding I finally figured out it was to do with what printer I had it set up on. I went into Print & Fax in System Preferences, highlighted the printer and clicked printer setup tab. In the drop down tab I selected printer model. It was set on Generic.
In the drop down list there it shows a huge selection of printers. my particular model was not there so I chose the closest thing and selected that.
After exiting all that and trying again it worked.
I'm very happy.

Hi iVirtual, what Mac OS are you running, Leopard (10.5.4) or Tiger (10.4.11)? Also, is your printer directly attached to your pc or is it a network printer directly on the local area network? One last question, do you have a firewall (like Trend Micro or Norton Internet Security) on your PC?
From my Mac running Leopard, I have no problem printing to a printer directly attached to my WindowsXP machine. However, I don't have the same luck from my Tiger Machines.
When I print to any networked printer (by that I mean printers directly attached to the network) from the WindowsXP machine with SP3, I always have to use the IP address. The printer.local name no longer works since I installed SP3.
simonparker, If your printer is directly attached to your PC using a USB cable, I don't think you'll be able to see it with the Bonjour Printer Wizard application. Since your printer is shared, you might check your WORKGROUP name on your PC. Something you might check is this:
Do you have a password on your user account on the PC? You'll probably need a password on your PC account. I don't think you can share anything if you don't have a password (I could be wrong, but it has never worked for me without a password).
On leopard, when I added the printer to the Mac I did this:
1) bring up System Preferences/Print&Fax
2) Press the + sign under the printer list, when the add window pops up, choose the "Windows" icon and you should see your workgroup name in the left list.
3) Choose the workgroup and it should populate with your machine name.
4) Select the machine name in the middle list and you should get a login and password dialog box.
5) Enter your PC's Username and Password.
6) You should see a list of shared printers in the right most list.
7) Select the printer and then select the driver.
Your printer should now be configured on the Mac. I know that I had to enter my PC's user name and password several times before I could print.

How do I highlight text in the new Pages? It's not clear.

I have the new version of Pages. And it appears that highlighting of text is an issue. This is a basic function.
I found there is one quick key version, but doesn't clearly explain how to change highlighting colours. How to get into it.
I have to explain this to my 80 year old mom, who we told to get a Mac because it was easier!
So if anyone has it laid out step 1, 2, 3, that would be helpful, because it's not clear to me either.
Thanks!
Apple - please to a quick fix for this one, it should be the same as changing the size or the font or like bold or italic. Simple, clear, fast and doable..... for anyone!

TO Peter,
Thanks for the list. I had found it in LibreOffice, tucked away in the Background tab of the Character pane opened by the Character... menu item in the Format menu, and named "Background Color. A few steps further down than in Pages. Apache OpenOffice has it in the same place. But both also have a hilight icon in the toolbar.
I didn't fin highlighting or Color fill in Text Edit (v1.8). Might need a further search.
But this well-equipped party of (one) oscurantist did find a shorter path to highlighting text in Pages '09, cleverly hidden in plain view! See the image below.
TO hscortez,
I'm aware that changing the text colour is not highlighting.
But YeOldMacFan pointed out how to change text colour AND how to change background colour of text, using Character fill, found in the Advanced Options (Pages 5) or the More (Pages '09) tab of the Text Inspector.
Character Fill fills the space around the character with the chosen colour. As shown above, it's essentially the same effect as dragging a hiliter pen along a line of printed text.
Unfortunately, whats shown above is the Character fill well on the format bar of Pages '09—right out in the open like the highlighter pen button in LibreOffice, and presumeably in MS Word. I don't have Pages 5 (avoiding it until a few more of the missing features arrive), but I do note that Pages for iOS offers highlight as one of the options in the contextual menu that appears when a block of text is selcted.
The process appears to be:
tap twice to select some text.
drag the handles at each end of the selection to adjust what's selected.
tap Highlight in the menu that has appeared on the screen.
One thing missing appears to be colour choice. The default is a 'hiliter yellow'. I didn't see a way to select a different colour.
"Hopefully, this will make it on their upgrade list. "
Hope is good, but taking action is useful.
Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback > Make your request that this be added to Pages 5. Requests made through Provide ...Feedback go directly to Apple. Comments and questions here are read by users like yourself, and we don't have the ability to change the way the apps work. Not directly,anyway.

Acrobat: summarize highlighted text only in a new document?

Hi everyone,
I have marked some passages with the "highlight text"-tool in a big pdf file and want to extract only the marked text in a new file. Is this possible?
So far I could only print a new file with information ABOUT the highlighted text, but not the highlighted text itself.
This means I get a file telling me only who highlighted the text and when he did that.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat X, but if you know another program that is able to do this please tell me!
Thanks for your help!

Although i generally recommend people to user PDFMaker as it provides more features. But if you have already converted the files using PDF Printer, you can also creates tags. Try this:
1). Open PDF in Acrobat.
2). Click on Tools-> Accessibility.
3). Add Tags to document.
4). Save the document and then try the steps I mentioned above. This resolves the issue related to Tags.
You can also do that in MS Word once the PDF is tagged.
1). Open MS Word. Click on Acrobat Tab
2). Click on Acrobat Comments->Import Comments from Acrobat.
3). Now Follow step 6,7,8, and 9 and you are done.
Once you get the comments exported to word you need to change the layout of those using features in word.
Also, you can try this:
In the comments pane->Under Comments List-> Click on the bubbles and select Hide All Comments. No Click on the same bubble and select Type->Highlight. This will show you only Highlight annotations.
Now Click on Options(Box) and select create comment summary.
Under Comment summary select third radio button-> Comments Only.
For Include option -> Select Only the comments currentyly showing.
Click Create Comments Summary
This will generate the PDF file with only highlight annotations.
Now you can easily export this to MS Word, Using SaveAs-> Microsoft Word-> Word Documents.
(This might create a problem if the highlighted tag is on a Scan document that is OCRed/ not OCRed. That may slightly change the layout). Otherwise its okey.
Does that resolve the issue??
I am not sure if i followed the second issue of yours. Is update a problem or adding Acrobat tab in Word?

How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

You have to remember that Digital Editions was never designed to have 'text

limitations. Put in another frame of reference, DE presents you with the

I can't print selected text in a Print dialogue box in Yahoo mail or my bank site. I used to, now I can't.

I am having this problem both in my online banking site and when using Yahoo Mail. When I click on Print on either of these sites and then close the Print dialogue box that automatically comes up, highlight just the text I want printed, then hit Ctrl+P and choose Selection, Print Preview shows me a blank page. When I try printing the selection using either of the 2 printers I have, it prints a blank page. And yet when I do the same thing in Internet Explorer, I have no trouble printing the text I want. I tried doing the prefs.js troubleshoot, deleting everything in that file that starts with print, but it made no difference. I used to be able to print this way in Firefox no problem, but now it doesn't work. Why not, and how do I get it to work again? I'm using Windows XP and Firefox 11.

A bug was introduced in the latest version of Firefox that affects printing selections that are inside a table. Because many pages use tables for general layout (without displaying the borders), this may appear to strike at random.
A fix is expected in Firefox 12. More information: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/923294 how to get print selection to work | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]
If you expand your selection to include some content outside the table, then the feature should work, but of course it would include some unnecessary information.
