• Cannot use highlight tool

  Using Acrobat XI, was able to use the highlight tool.  If it's a scanned document, he would ask to convert the text.  But now, he asks that more and I can't highlight.  I could have changed something, but I can't understand that.  How can I get this tool back function?

  Hi AliT055 ,

  Could you please let us know the version XI Acrobat installed on your computer?

  You are able to highlight normal (not scanned) pdfs?

  What happens when you use highlight tool, you see no error message?

  Check if there is an update available for Acrobat, launch Acrobat > go to the Help menu > then click Find updates. If there is an available update, download and install the update, then check if Acrobat works as expected.

• Highlight tool, typewriter tool, menu missing + missing etc.

  I installed Acrobat 9.5.5 Pro as part of the CS4 Suite several years ago.  I'm a casual user of Acrobat 9 Pro.  I used the tool to highlight and the typewriter tool on many documents over the years.  Although I recorded on my computer.  They have renderable text!

  Suddenly, the highlight tool and typewriter tool and others disappeared + went from the tools + its submenus.  I'm a pretty savvy computer user.  I don't remember that I did something to change the Tools menu.

  When I go to View\Toolbars\More tools... the highlight tool and the typewriter tool don't show up there either.

  I reinstalled Acrobat 9 Pro from the original CD... the Tools menu is always missing the Highlight tool and typewriter tool and others. (I say 'other' because, even if I can't have used them, I feel that there are already more visible tools on the tools + its submenus)

  Can someone tell me how to recover point highlight tool and the tool machine to write?

  Well... you can go through this post/problem in your list.  I couldn't wait any longer.  I had the tools/functions that have mysteriously disappeared.

  I spent about 3 1/2 hours deactivate the Suite CS4, uninstallation of the CS4 Suite, removing any reference I could find of 'adobe', 'NPF' and 'flex' of my files and the registry, clean my registry and restarted.

  Then I had to go through the process of installation 3 times (each time), in order to get all the Suite CS4 programs to install correctly.  (No other programs running during install.)  Thanks for the good old old-fashioned print magazines!)

  What a pain in the anus!

• Comment / highlight tool combined

  There was to be a tool that combined noting and commenting on - you would like to highlight the text, and a comment box would automatically jump to the top. The icon was a T with a comment balloon. Tool disappeared for me and that's the one I use most often. Someone knows how can I fix? I don't have not updated anything recently or changed the settings or anything like that.

  Hi Noa,

  Regarding "highlight text and a comments box would automatically jump upwards,"

  Try setting the preference:

  -> Edit-> preferences commenting-> check "automatically open comment jump - rises for comments other than notes '-> click Ok

  Now, when you select any text in the document, a pop-up comment window automatically opens.

• Adobe Reader highlight tool is more full of text, simply create a line around the text

  The highlight in Adobe reader tool no longer works as before.  Instead of filling the text, as it is used, the tool creates just a line around the text.  This makes it much harder to identify strengths.

  I am running Win 8 and using Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.09.

  I have attached a screenshot to illustrate.  The way the tool used to work, they testify as I want it, highlight all the text in the document.  As it is it currently works, is shown on the first line of the text, where a part of the text was highlighted with the tool as it works now.  I have just created a yellow line around the text.

  I checked how the highlight settings are both the former highlight text and the new text, and they look identical.  Percentage of the color settings and opacity are the same.

  

  Very frustrated.  Any help appreciated.

  Try to run a repair from Acrobat (via the Help menu) installation.

• How to activate the highlighting tool?

  I use the Pack PDF in the Acrobat Reader XI.   I can easily activate edit 'add a comment', but cannot get the highlight to start tool.   I don't know what I'm missing here.  Ideas?

  This tool works only if the file contains the text 'real '. If it only contains images (for example, a file scanned) and OCR did not, then you cannot use this tool (or another of annotation tools that have a "T" in their icon).

• Tool to highlight in different colors on a base with a single click

  Concerns Acrobat Pro ms in the latest version on a Mac. I'm looking for a way to have the highlight tool (sorry, only a German version - it's the tool with the yellow pen, which allows to highlight the words) in the comment section available in various colors on a base with a single click. Of course one can with the colors in the Panel property of the highlighting itself, but it's pretty heavy. It is possible to put the tool in a toolbar customized, yet, the color of a single instance of the switching tool will change it in all cases. Any suggestions?

  Thanks, Alex

  Have you ever used the Properies toolbar? Cmd + E.

  It is MUCH faster than opening the properties of comment every time. Sometimes, the Properties Panel takes 5 + seconds to open.

  The property bar you access to virtually all the properties we needed. In addition, it is contextual. Read the article below on how to use it. It works the same as is done at the time I wrote this article... only now he can be steeped. Document of Geek: how to change the font properties in a PDF Sticky Note

  

• No active highlight text tool

  Hello

  I downloaded some documents in PDF/A of open XML specification (PDF version 1.4, created using MS office 2007 word) of the w3c Web site. I wanted to use the text highlighter tool to highlight the important parts so that I can quickly refer to it later but found that the tool is off. I even tried to convert the PDF to a new version (1.6, 1.7) and in PDF / X etc. but nothing helps.

  When I see the security method, it says "No Security" and all (printing, editing, comment) are "authorized".

  I don't know how to activate the tool. Another edition associated tools are also disabled (Text edit, add sticky notes, etc.).

  Is this protected document, if yes then why he said "No Security", and is there a way to unprotect so that I can highlight text inside.

  Concerning
