Highlight text in the pdf docs

I have a Mac and Adobe Acrobat Pro installed in it.  To work with windows I can highlight of scanned documents but at home with my Mac, I'm not able to highlight text I want.  The files are pdf files, but I don't know if I have to activate something or what.  Help please

You have to first run text recognition on the files scanned if you want to be able to highlight text only.

    I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.

  • Why can't I highlight text? (the text is a scan of a book) I use: PC, Win 8, XI player

    Hi it :-)

    I read a lot of text scanned from my teacher in my study. According to the manuals, I should be able to highlight text - but it does not work.

    Is it because the text is a scan? It only works with text document files that are converted to pdf files?

    Other people in my class meet the same problem. The twist is: it does not work Mac. my co - student (same shared file, original file)

    I use Win 8, XI player

    Please notify :-)

    Is it because the text is a scan?

    Yes. To highlight text, it must be 'true' text, IE the text can be selected, not just an image.

    To convert an image in real text, you need to Acrobat or a subscription to the PDF package.

    You can use the square or other tools to markup design, to create a kind of point culminating on the desired text, though.

  • Need to change the text in the pdf file created in Illustrator CS6

    I need someone else to be able to change the text in a pdf file I created from Illustrator. They have full acrobat should be able to change it. I tried myself to test before you send it, but it does not work. The original file has been created in Illustrator CS6 and saved in pdf format (text not created contours). I opened the file in acrobat and try it saved as file extended to be able to change the text but not luck. You will be able to highlight the existing text and replace it. I tried to change the text of the tool, but rather only a selection box around each line of text, it puts a selection box around the text. I can highlight the text and delete it, but I am unable to change it. Each individual text line should be editable. Is there something I need to do differently in Illustrator so it can work correctly in Acrobat?

    If she help him file is a calendar and they need be able to change the dates and events that are already there.

    This really isn't an appropriate use of Acrobat. You should all use the same editing tool (i.e. Illustrator).

    Extension of files reduced the amount of editing Acrobat can do, it does not increase it.

    The editing of text in Illustrator tool would be to edit the text Document. There is no guarantee that it will divide nicely in lines, it is trying to help by making the text of paragraph.

    In theory, you can use a form for this (fill in the blank for dates) but really, you should use the same tool. Not necessarily Illustrator, more Excel or specialist software calendar.

  • No longer can highlight text during the electronic composition

    I can no longer highlight text when I compose an e-mail. I can highlight text in other programs (Word, etc.). When I say I'm being very specific - I can't, left-click the mouse and drag over the text to select.

    I have not downloaded programs. I did not any changes at all to the computer.

    Any ideas?

    Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  • How to remove buttons highlighted when viewing the PDF files in a browser?

    Hi all

    I am trying to create an interactive PDF that should be visible in a web browser. My problem is that when I view the PDF file in the browser, all the buttons are highlighted in light blue. I need this removed as a huge part of the document will be interactive. It's probably somewhat option that should turn off, but I can't seem to locate it! Any help please?

    Thank you!

    No, this is not the strong points that I want to talk to, and I guess it's part of the Chrome PDF plugin. In this case I don't think you can do something.

  • Automatically rasterize all vector drawings (less the texts) in the PDF file

    Hello

    I looked at the Adobe Acrobat documentation and also within the frequently asked questions of this forum for this specific information was not found. If I missed something, please tell me

    I have a PDF file containing a lot of vector drawing made in Illustrator. The PDF file generated from Adobe InDesign. If the PDF file is a mixture of text and vector drawings.

    I want to send this PDF document on the web, but for some legal proposed, these vector drawings should all be rasterized. For sure, I can open each. Original document to HAVE, rasterize the content, then reissue the InDesign document (so the exported PDF file's text and all raster images).

    But, as I refer to 100 pages PDF, containing, at a minimum, 150 drawings vector, it takes a lot of time to open each work in Illustrator and manually generating a rasterized copy to use in the final PDF file.

    So the question is: is it possible (in Acrobat or any plug, approx...) to open a PDF document, then automatically rasterize any vector drawings (less the texts) in a specific resolution? For example, rasterize all at 150 pixels per inch.

    With the help of Acrobat DC under Windows OS 8.1.

    Thank you very much

    Gustavo.

    You do not miss anything, there is no Acrobat tool for this.

  • How to convert a JPEG of text to a pdf doc?

    Hi, I have a photo of a page of text from my mobile phone camera and I want to convert a pdf document.  I have adobe reader XI software on my computer.  I have a reader free adobe app on my cell phone.  I do not if I am doing this on my phone or PC.


    I tried a couple of free downloads, I've seen on youtube, but it does not help.  A free trial left a watermark on my document. Thank you



    You can't do that with any player. You need Acrobat (is there a free 30 days trial version that you can use), or a subscription to the PDF package.

    These two products are by Adobe. There are probably hundreds of other tools out there that can be used to convert a file to PDF, but as you have seen, many of them are questionable.

  • Editing the text in the pdf

    Am, change the text in a full color book large pdf file of 296 pages.  Each page has a mix of text and images-I can edit text on each page, but on some pages that the text edit tool won't let me select the text I want to change - as if it isn't there and is considered to be an image, despite the fact that is a separate text box - can not understand why I can easily edit text which is next , but not the text of a few centimetres more far overall. Am baffled by this.  Attached jpg to show WORLD SWORDS PRACTICE FILE 180.jpg layout of the book.

    It the tool select text does not work, then it is not text. You really do want to be change the text in a pdf file if it can be avoided at all. It's just a problem ticking. It's ALWAYS better to edit the original document and then regenerate the file. If there are customizations with the buttons and fields that you do not regenerate, so you can replace the old page of the PDF with the new page as a new pdf and avoid all the problems that come with editing text.
