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.

  • Mouse don't work in Microsoft Word to select text, or highlight text to copy or add features like bold/italic/underlined.

    After you paste an e-mail message in a Microsoft Word document (which I do all the time), my mouse no longer works to click anywhere in the document and it doesn't allow me to use the side scroll bar.  I can still click on the tabs and controls to the top of the page buttons up and down and up, but I can't highlight text underlined/bold/italic to copy or move in the document.  I use these features all the time and I am very frustrated.  I can still do all of these things in other applications such as email, Facebook, Internet, but not in Word.  Help, please.  I already checked my mouse settings and drivers and they are all up to date without errors.  I restarted my computer; the only step I can think is reinstall Microsoft Office Professional 2007.  I appreciate any help you can provide.  Respectfully, Julie

  • The mouse cursor changes to hand instead of the text tool when I hover over the text.

    Normally whenever I have fly over the text in an e-mail or on the web, in order to highlight to copy and paste, the mouse cursor becomes a text tool.  However, now every time I have fly over the text, it remains on the hand tool.  Whenever I click on the mouse button, there just cause the hand to shake.  I can then move the page and everything I want to get off.  The only problem is, I want to highlight the text with the text tool, not handle the page with the hand.  My question is how to change the mouse cursor to get the text tool when it flies over text?

  • 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.

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    See you soon.

  • Suddenly unable to highlight text and add notes?

    I was able to highlight text and add post it notes until early this week. I don't remember if I downloaded a new update for the Adope reader.
    The only change I made to my PC is to set up my browser to delete cookies and cache.

    How can I get these functions working again?

    Hello

    Delete the cache and cookies may not have an impact on it.

    Could you please the workflow, how you try to select and add notes in the document?

    What OS are you?

    Is him commenting tool does not?

    You get an error message or does it freeze?

    If you are using windows, please try to repair the drive once and then see if that helps.

  • text attached to highlighted text box

    I recently got a PDF file with a text box that is attached to the highlighted text. I need to find a way to do this for my own document.

    Annotation tool highlighted has a pop up that are associated with. The pop-up can be configured to show or not to show.

    The tool is available in all versions of Acrobat.

    The tool is available in Adobe Reader DC, XI and X.

    Use one of these applications and you will be able to "do this for my own document."

  • How do I highlight text in adobe reader PDF files?

    Hi, I'm solaine Veera in the United States.

    To highlight, I mean change the color of the selected text, as the function in word. Or what I need to paste the article into word to highlight? How is it possible.

    Thank you

    Solaine Veera

    Highlight and change the color of the text is not the same thing!

    Adobe Reader can highlight text using the highlight tool.  This cannot be a real text, not 'text' on a scanned image.

    To change the color of text you need Acrobat.

  • 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.

  • highlight text shows no yellow color

    I have XI ACROBAT installed and updated. Last month I am more able to highlight text.  The text still not but if I click on the text I wanted to highlight a small blue box around the text... but it is not highlighted.  I tried to change colors without result.

    Hello

    It seems that it was a bug that was introduced in the last update. Others have been able to solve this problem using the Acrobat cleaning tool to uninstall and then reinstall Acrobat. You can try this if you have a few spare moments.

    And can you please share the PDF problem that worked correctly in the earlier version.

    Thank you

  • I can't highlight text

    My printer HP PhotoSmart 7525 with Acrobat limited venus function when using the mode SCAN and choosing SCAN AS .pdf. I am able to add sticky notes to a digital file, but when I try to HIGHLIGHT TEXT, I get the change in the shape of the cursor (like to start highlight), but by dragging over the text has no effect.

    HP provides a routine 'make PDF' in the software provided with the HP scanners. It's not Adobe Acrobat.

    PDF is an ISO Standard (since 2008). Any Software House can do routines that create PDF.

    Some are even worthy of their name.

    Anyway, in general HP also provides rock with the software provided with the HP scanners.

    Thus, use the HP routines to get an OCR PDF were.

    Then use Adobe Reader XI (which provides all of the comment and annotation of design tools) to highlight.

    You need OCR output because the Highlight tool MUST have real text - an image or a picture of the text do not cut.

    (The scanner output is always an image / picture of what was on the paper).

  • How do I re - highlight text, that I edited graphically?

    I spaced my text vertically, edited the vectors of a character and now I need to set the vertical spacing to the way it was, but I can not re - highlighting my text. Therefore, I can't find a way to change the vertical spacing. What should I do? I know a solution, but it is VERY LONG and difficult, there must be a simple solution.

    If you sketched out the text, there is no way to "UN-contour" him. You can move objects manually, or recreate the text with the text tool.
