Redacting text using Adobe Reader on a SP3?

How do I redact text in a pdf document using Adobe Reader on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3?  I don't see the Advanced menu.

Thank you! I'm installing Adobe Acrobat XI Pro now.

  • 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!

  • I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7.  How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

    I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7.  How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • How safe is it to use Adobe Reader 9.5.4?

    Hello:
    I'm continuing to use Adobe Reader 9.5.4.
    I'm not updating to Reader  XI  yet because the system requirements say that you need a resolution higher than 800x600.  I currently operate my PC at this lower esolution. I'm not sure how problematic that would be with Reader XI, but in the meantime, I'd rather stay with the older version. Seems to be doing all I need it to do at this point..
    Question: Is there a substantial security threat in my using this older version?
    TIA

  • Editing text in adobe reader

    i am having trouble editing text in adobe reader. the tool that used to show up doesnt now. I can highlight the text, but am unable to edit it. any suggestions please?

    The free Reader has never been capable of editing PDF files. Perhaps you used to have Acrobat?

  • Can't read text in Adobe Reader - any suggestions?

    I've used Adobe Reader for years without any problems, but now when I open a .PDF, I get a grey screen with no visible letters. If I select all, there are words higlighted on the screen, but they aren't visible; the text is there, nothing is wrong with the .PDF, I just can't see the words. What do I need to reset in order to make the words visible again?
    Many thanks,
    Mort Salt

    In the preferences of Adobe Reader enable the view of large images.

  • 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?

  • Can i consolidate all of my comments to the top of the document for a summary and then have these linked to the position in the doc, using adobe reader on i pad?

    HI, can i consolidate all of my comments in a document to the top for quick review and then click on each ro jump to the posi in the text? I am using adobe reader for ipad. Thanks

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks.  I have it sussed.  I saved from Ipad to Acrobat.com, but the functionality in AC.com is crap so I download to hard drive and open with reader on my hard drive and that way can see the comments.  I'm sure there is a better way to do this so will keep playing around with it.
    Also, do you know how I can include my text comments in IPAD PDF in the search function of PDF reader for IPAD? Say for example I want to search for the word action through a 200 page document.  It won't search the comments as nothing found when I search through a scanned document.
    Thanks again,

  • Highliting text in adobe reader

    Hi.Am using Adobe Reader XI ,when I try to highlight text it only highlights a potion of the words and leaves the rest unhighlighted.What could be causing that?And please how can I fix it ?

    This is typically the result of an bad OCR (Text Recognition). There's nothing you can do about it in Reader, though.

    Hi.  I have a new HP laptop.  It uses Windows 7.  I have Adobe Reader -- I had 9.0 and was having problems so took it back to the store and they have now loaded 9.3.  It is hit or miss on opening some pdfs.  The only error message I get is that "there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Please try again.  I am not technically oriented, and this is very frustrating.  I tried to call Adobe and they said that I need to work off of this forum.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    Are these scanned documents?  If scanned documents have not been OCR-ed, then they are just images without any searchable text.
    Try if you can highlight any text in such documents.

  • Lost information using Adobe Reader App

  • Cannot complete form using Adobe Reader - Mac OS X 10.6.8

    I have been using Adobe Reader to complete forms for my Bank for more than 9 months without any problems.  I'm using Adobe Reader 10.1.1 for Mac.  I recently upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and this is the first time I've tried to use Adobe Reader since the upgrade. Today when I opened my form using Adobe Reader I cannot select and type in any of the text fields.  Trying to click inside a text box simply seems to 'select' the entire page. 
    I checked online but could not find any compatibility issues.  I'm hoping that I've overlooked something very simple that I should have done but have no idea what that could be.
    I would be very grateful if someone could advise me what my problem might be.
    Cheers

    Thanks for responding Ankit.  No, I saved the form to a folder on my desktop and I open it using the Adobe Reader app.  It has always worked without a problem before.  I checked my husband's iMac (which has the same saved form on his Desktop).  He is also running OS X 10.6.8.  On his machine it opened without a hitch so I used his computer to fill in the form and print it out.  Obviously, if it works on his computer and he's also using 10.6.8 it's not related to the upgrade.
    I trashed my copy of Adobe Reader and have re-downloaded the app.  Will install it and see whether it now works or if the problem persists.  Will post back the results.'
