Text in adobe reader iOS

Can I insert underlined text or only underline existing text?

I don't understand. I use Reader for this very purpose. I open a PDF (i am using my iPad) add text and send it on. The text I add is only one ugly font, and I can adjust the size, but I cannot underline it for instance. I realize I guess, that I am not "editing" the document, but it sure looks different when I send it out. My template is an invoice blank, and I fill in (add text)  and then email my customer on site. I'm not a graphic artist obviously, so I don't fully understand I guess. What do I need Adobe reader to read a PDF? I can read just fine. What does Reader do for me if not let me "modify" the document? Why the limitations?

    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?

  • How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

    At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
    I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
    Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
    Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

    My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
    I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
    Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
    You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

  • Adobe Reader iOS SDK

    Is there an sdk for Adobe Reader iOS?

    Hello,
    We have a very simple use case of viewing (just view) the pdf files within the mobile app for both iOS and Android platform. Can you please advise on if Adobe Reader Mobile SDK serves the purpose or if any solution(s) exist either from Datalogics or Bluefire or Bsquare? We are exploring various pdf toolkits and are finding some limitations with these. We would like to stick with Adobe mobile SDK (or any of thextension solutions) that meet our buisness need.
    Appreciate if you can let me know.

  • 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,

  • Issues editing within adobe reader iOS

    We have encountered a new issue within the adobe reader app on iPad. Within the larger form fields, we are able to type text into the field, but are no longer able to go back and edit the text that has been typed in on adobe reader. Before the update we were able to. Any suggestions??
    Using adobe reader on iPad 3
    iOS 6.0.1

    Can you please share a sample form with us at [email protected] along with info on the field you are editing and the text you are adding? I suspect that you are working with an XFA form (perhaps created with LC Designer). In the latest release, we've disabled filling of these forms because we don't support this format and it caused issues for users who lost data. If you could please share the form, I can confirm that this is the issue or perhaps figure out what the real problem is.

  • 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.
    Recognizing Text in Scanned PDF Documents
    Please let us know if you need further assistance.

  • Adobe reader iOS app error "A system error was encountered."

    Hello everyone,
    I am using Adobe Reader app for my iOS device. The app is throwing an error "A system error was encountered."  whenever I highlight any word/sentences in the pdf file and the pdf file closes automatically and all the highlights/strikeouts/annotations are lost. This usually happens when I try to switch in between the apps (multitasking). The same thing is happening on both the devices (iPad and iPhone).
    Thanks.

    Hi Fzaver,
    We are sorry for late reply.
    Ideally it should not happen. Could you please send one of such document(if possible) at adobereader-iosatadobe.com to investigate the issue and the steps which you are performing to encounter the issue.
    Thanks

  • 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!

  • How to highlight a text in Adobe reader plugin uisng code?

  • How do you search bold text in Adobe Reader XI for Windows?

    We create documents electronically that contain bold text for a client. No matter what we try in Adobe Reader XI for Windows, bold text is not found. Is it not searchable? Is there a setting that we are overlooking to enable it? So far, only NitroPDF is the only program I can find that works.

    I just created a small test PDF (test_bold.pdf) with some bold words in it.  Reader XI (11.0.09) has no trouble finding these words.
    You can download the test doc from https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/333accd7-f54b-40f4-b06f-f14a3608f120
    Search for the word lazy that has been boldened multiple times in the doc.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,
