Trying to highlight text in adobe editions to use reader

Hi
we just installed a digital ebook for a dyslexic user. When she tries to highlight the text to run it through her reader, she cannot as the system expects she is trying to copy them.
Can anyone suggest a solution asap.

If you have been sent a PDF from Acrobat professional that has comments enabled you can hilight text add comments and so on. But some "text" maybe a flattened image or text is converted to outlines, ie you wont be able to highlight... if you open a PDF usong Macs Preview I think you can. (and other non adobe apps) otherwise in Reader opening a standard PDF... no u cant.... G

  • I am trying to highlight text on multiple pages, but Adobe will not autoscroll via cursor.

    I am trying to highlight text on multiple pages, but when I select the text and bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen Adobe does not advance the document. How do I make it so I can highlight from page to page without having to release the mouse button?
    Also, how do I get adobe to realize that there is a header and footer on each page, but the actual text in the file is in two columes. Is there a way to make this clear and embade it in the document so other programs recognize this too?

    Regarding your first question, change the view to Single Page Continuous.

  • How to highlight text with Adobe Reader XI?

    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,

    created by ~graffiti in Adobe Reader - View the full discussionUse the highlight tool under Comment>Annotations. This will only work if the pdf isn't a scanned image. If that is the case, there is no text to highlight. Please note that the Adobe Forums do not accept email attachments.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to highlight text on Adobe Digital Editions?

    So I decided to download an "eBook" for college for the first time, since it's cheaper than a physical book.
    It's on Adobe Digital Editions (1.7.2.1131)
    What I normally do in text books, is I highlight key texts from a chapter.
    I figured you'd have the ability to highlight on each page, and then come back and view the highlighted material later. Talk about frustrating.
    Is it possible and I'm just not seeing it?
    I guess the second best thing for now is to re-write the text in the bookmarks.

    Add the book to the Library (or bookmarks wont work), then select the text and click on the "Add Bookmark" button (towards the top  between the printer and the font size buttons).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Highlighting text in digital editions

    I keep losing my highlights and notes when I close out digital editions.  How do I preserve these each time I close out the book, so that they are still there the next time I open up the book?

  • Editing text in Acrobat Pro doc using Reader

    I've created documents in Acrobat 8 Pro for a client who needs to be able to add a few lines of text in Reader, then re-save and email the PDFs. Each time they try, though, they get the message telling them that they can't save the PDF and should print it out and fill it in.
    Is there any way round this, other than my client buying Acrobat Pro?

    I'm not talking about "major" edits either. If you have the original document, you always want to edit it first. It's just silliness to do anything else. Editing the PDF is asking for problems in many different forms.
    That's the ideal but what if you do not have an original. Suppose the pdf was sent to you to correct.
    I've been there.  Also if a PDF is not been setup for Reader User Rights, by an individual, if you have a Pdf that has small defect, there is a tendency to to use touch up text.  I've done that myself.
    But if I find more than one or two items , I do as you. I just go back to riginal if I have it, and create a new one.
    The above was to caution that if you hvae minor defects , you've either got to create a new version or create a copy with usage rights disabled, then work on that. You methos is the best.

  • Highlighting text in PDF document

    I am a surgeon and subscribe to lot of medical journals which are now increasingly made available for downloading in PDF format. I am used to highlighting the important text in an article with an ordinary hi-lighter pen to make it easy when I need to go back to that article.
    Is there a way one can highlight the text in a PDF document the way one can highlight it on a paper? Will professional versions of Acrobat solve my problem?

    A little late for the original post, but for anyone else looking to highlight text in Acrobat Pro 9 and be able to change the highlighter color...
    Accessing the highlighter tool:
    Right-click on the Toolbar.
    Select/check "Comment and Markup." This is the toolbar that contains the Highlight Text tool.
    Changing the highlighter color:
    You can right-click on the highlighted text and go to Properties, etc, but there's a more convenient method.
    While using the Highlight Text tool, turn on the Properties Bar (make it visible)
    Window:  Ctl+E
    Mac:  Cmd+E
    Mouse:  Right-click on the Toolbar and select/check Properties Bar.
    This will give you quick access to your highlighter properties, and it will remember your selected color between uses.
    The Properties Bar is context aware and will change based on the tool you're actively using, so you have access to change your highlight color through it when the Highlight Text tool is selected/in use.

  • Adobe Reader X Highlight Text button is grayed out

    I'm trying to highlight text in a pdf document.  At the top of the doc there is an informational note that says "...has been opened in read-only mode to prevent modification." Read-only is ont checked in the properties box. I checked the security and there is none. I have renamed the file with no luck. This is not a scanned document and the text is searchable. I can highlight text in other pdf documents. Any ideas how to get around this read-only setting?
    Also when I tried to add tags to this question I could not underline multiple words as indicated inthe instructions.
