Text highlighting

It would not be possible to highlight the text using Adobe Reader DC?   I see a highlighter tool, but clicking on it does nothing.

Hi June Damanti,

Yes, you can select the text using Adobe Reader DC.

Please make sure that the PDF file is not an image scanned text or non-secure.

Let us know if you need help.

Kind regards

    Hello Kluggerjo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

    I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

    If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.

  • Remove highlighted text Highlight tool

    I need to get the updated text highlighted by the highlight tool.

    I have the following code until now to get the PDTextSelect and framework encompassing the highlight of text. How can I get the text of the PDTextSelect object?

    ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 getHighlightedText (PDWordFinder wObj, PDWord wInfo, ASInt32 pgNum, void * clientData)

    {

    stringBuffer tank [100];

    try to get the PDF file before

    CosDoc cd = PDDocGetCosDoc (currentPDDoc);

    PDFs with parts of the text have been highlighted, and now, suddenly, these docs print without the appropriate text highlighted. Never happened before. As seen on the screen, highlighting appears, but when you print, it's gone.  Help, please.

    Try to turn on the print with comments. The comments really are your strengths.

  • Can I move text highlighted for comments, but not underlined text?

    So I just upgraded to Acrobat Reader yesterday so I could take notes on books for school.  I discovered how to export comments from a PDF file to a new document using a JS and appreciated the help of the following:

    Get the comments in this document and sort by author

    1. this.syncAnnotScan ();

    Annots = this.getAnnots ({nSortBy: ANSB_Author});

    Open a new report

    var = new Rep Report();

    1. Rep.size = 1.2;
    2. Rep.Color = color.blue;

    If {(annots)

    1. rep.writeText ("" summary of comments: by author ' ");
    2. Rep.Color = color.black;
    3. rep.writeText("");
    4. rep.writeText ("number of comments:" + annots.length);
    5. rep.writeText("");

    var msg = ' \200 page % s: \"%s\" ";" "

    Acidulated annots = var [0] .author;

    1. rep.writeText (theAuthor);
    2. Rep.Indent (20);

    for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; i ++) {}

    {If (acidulated! = {annots [i] .author)}

    Acidulated annots [i] .author =;

    1. rep.writeText("");
    2. Rep.Outdent (20);
    3. rep.writeText (theAuthor);
    4. Rep.Indent (20);

    }

    1. () rep.writeText
    2. util.printf (msg, 1 + annots .page, annots [i] [i] .silence));

    }

    } else {}

    var msg = "no annotation not found in this document, %s.";

    1. rep.writeText (util.printf (msg, this.documentFileName));

    }

    Now, open the report

    docRep var = rep.open ("myreport.pdf");

    1. docRep.info.Title = ' comments for "+ this.docuentFileName;

    docRep.info.Subject = 'Comments ';

    What I am curious about, is if there is a way around having the text highlighted and underlined go instantly to comments.  It is possible to get one or the other to automatically enter comments that could save me a ton of time manually copy and make decisions as "is - this really interesting extra of the output file size."  These decisions really slow down my reading process.  Rigth now I exported pages of stuff, and even if I can get what I export it will become unmanageable.

    The only thing I can think of is to just copy things that I wanted to specifically exported to the comments and to do everything by hand so I don't end up with a too underlined text / stressed.

    (Also, and this one is not so important... y at - it a way to save the JS I used for all the PDF files I have?)  At this time I was just copy paste to every PDF I do.)

    Thanks in advance,

    Matt

    The forums have mangled the script (which looks strangely familiar) but if you want to only list with a specific type annotations, add a new line between these two:

    for (var i = 0; i)< annots.length;="" i++)="">

    If (annots [i] .Guy == "Highlight") {}

    {If (acidulated! = {annots [i] .author)}

    and to add an another brace at the end

    }}

    } else {}

    'type' has several strings defined, all documented in the software development kit. You would be using "Highlight" or "Stressed" to filter.

    If you want to run the script several times, you can put it in Action (by using the step "run a JavaScript"). Don't forget that you cannot run against multiple files at the same time that reports are not registered, then set the properties of the Action to apply only to the currently open document.

  • Mysterious text highlight

    Hello

    I hope someone here can help me with this:

    A light blue highlight appeared in my window chat IM, but only on the words 'this' and 'is '.

    It affects all entries in conversation if the mine or the people I chat with but it appears only in my window and no one else.

    This isn't really stop me using Skype, but it IS really annoying!

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    A.

    OK - panic over!

    It wasn't only the words 'this' and 'is' but the words: 'this', 'is', 'one', 'alert! '

    Just in case where someone else is to reflect on this problem:

    Under the menu 'Conversations', there is an entry named "parameters of Notification... "- that open and click on the box marked"Don't warn me. " It does not appear to erase the text that has already been said, but it stops it happening more!

    It looks like to what could be a useful tool for keeping track of specific things in a big cat so it is probably worth to look at how to use wisely - I know I will!

    Thank you and sorry for wasting time!

  • The custom text highlighting

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way to highlight specific text elements.  From what I've seen, that the closest thing would be a RichTextField, but there is no highlight options.  There is the background color, but this highlights the section of the whole text.  My next thought was to put them up right next to each other, but each element is added with a line break, which will not work.  Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    ActiveRichTextField lets you put in the foreground and the background of the attributes of color of a specific text box. The attributes are defined in a table, the index in the array is the index of the region.

  • Put text highlighted blocks Indesign

    I use InDesign CC on PC, and highlighting the text with the text tool is blocking the program, give me a message that says what indesign has stopped working. I tried fixing the issue by erasing my preferences many times, but also delete all my files of fonts. However, none of these things worked. I use Windows 10.

    Edit: I also discovered that trying to open preferences > dictionary blocks the program with the same error message.

    Two additional ideas

    (1) have you tried with another font?

    2) has enough rights (admin) InDesign to his request and preferences file?
