Impossible to use highlighter on ipad

I can't highlight text, nothing happens when I try to drag over the text. IM using ipad.

Hi alisonbdublin,

Would you press & hold on the text to see if you can actually Choose the text?

If you do not see the text with the context menu selection above (with copy, highlight, blocked, stressed and define), it means that your PDF document is probably a scanned PDF.

It is not possible to add annotations to Text Markup (highest, barred and underlined point) to a scanned PDF document, because it does contain no text.  You need the desktop version of Acrobat Pro (not Acrobat Reader) to apply OCR characters (OCR) on your scanned PDF document and convert it into a fully editable copy.

Convert PDF to editable text instantly, OCR software | Adobe Acrobat DC

Versions of Acrobat Reader and iOS are not relevant in this case.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Can I use the original iPad Air 2 charger to charge my iPhone 6 Plus? It shortens the life of the battery of the phone?

    Yes, you can. No, it won't. Apple sells this as compatible with the iPad and iPhone adapter.

    And the phone does a little faster than with the phone adapter.

  • 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?

    [Moved from the endorsement, general, all Adobe forums Lounge for a specific support forum (and shorten the title) - Mod]

    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.

    Also, visit this link that addresses the same issue: highlight the tool does not not (PDF Edit)

    Thank you

  • No CONTENT ADOBE PHOTOSHOP usage like this program until they make impossible to use their more recent programs on Mac or Windows!

    Not HAPPY WITH PHOTOSHOP use to love this software until they have done it is impossible to use with the newer Windows & Mac

    I have 12 items, 7 PS, 6 PS and PS 4.0 (which would always be my first choice), but most are useless, why can't they be used with the new Windows or Mac?

    I am very disappointed by this company and would "Never" sugest someone uses as his then we face, Ive given my Adobe software because I wasn't able to use it on my Mac, which is hundreds of dollars WASTED!  I pick up an another 4.0 'if' it was compatible with anything used today but its looking more like Adobe has become consumed with greed and not customer satisfaction!  It seems to be a loyal to the company's product is a thing of the PAST 'Thank YOU' but 'no. THANKS ADOBE SMH.

    No one forced to use a Mac that is not compatible with the old software... the problem is written Mac to new operating systems that will not old programs to run

    Windows did the same thing... I had to give up a Microsoft Office 97 perfectly fine when I moved from WinXP to Win7

    If you want to use the old software, you must use an old operating system

  • Impossible to use

    Adobe community help app is so slow that it is impossible to use.

    Just in case you didn't know.

    Hi Leshes: the engineering support team just released a new version, 3.3, which is described here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/707280.  Great emphasis on this last version has been performance - in fact, for research on the Flex and Flash (which have the extra ASLR and code search results), the results are now returned 250% faster.

    In addition, AIR2/Flex 4 migration should improve responsiveness overall app.  Hope you give an another shot if you are ready...

  • Highlighted text - impossible to use the same color next time.

    I'm a pastor by using Pages to write sermons and teaching materials.  I like to review the text and highlight certain phrases, words and paragraphs.  If I want to emphasize two selections back to back, it let me use the same color.  I select a different color, select the color I want.  I think it is an improvement that needs to be done, which allows you to select the color even overtime, but how do I do differently or how to make the requested change to a future update?

  • ChangJie problem when using Smart Keyboard (iPad Pro)

    I'm on iPad Pro 9.7 "(iOS10) with Smart keyboard."

    I can't type Chinese when you use Changjie - QWERTY Smart keyboard.

    However, he is very good with the help of Changjie - Standard or type without Smart keyboard.

    I'm quite sure that this isn't a problem with iOS, as I had the same problem at the same time iOS9 and iOS10.

    What is your physical keyboard to changI.e. QWERTY?

  • Impossible to use both: iMusic and previous music library

    Hello

    to use iMusic on my iphone and ipad, I have to activate the iCloud music library; but when I do that, all my old files, in this case, various language courses, disappear or cannot be played more.

    I chose "merge" btw.

    Anyone know how I can use both? And also, why the * Apple does it?

    Hello builtthispool,

    Welcome to Apple Support communities with your question about music and language courses.  I use Apple music and I also have a lot of audio files that are usually not in the iTunes store.  I am happy to answer your questions.

    First I wanted to give you this link that will explain a little about the differences between music from Apple and iTunes game:

    iCloud library: understand the differences between music from Apple and iTunes game

    Especially take note of this article:

    Music to Apple and iTunes game are not backup of your original music library services. Be sure to back up your music library so that you have a copy of your music and other information if your Mac or PC is already replaced, lost or damaged.

    Before you begin working with the help of Apple's music or iTunes Match, whichever you choose, you'll want to save your language course.  Here is a link to explain how to back up your iTunes library:

    Manage and backup your iTunes library

    Once you have saved your iTunes library, you can decide which service you want to use.  While both services download songs that are not in the iTunes Store, it is possible that they may not download or correspond to classes because of the type of file.  What you can do instead is to synchronize files physically connecting your iPhone / iPad to your computer.

    Media synchronization between your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and iTunes on your Mac or PC

    Have a great day!
