Hi everyone, I am wondering whether it is possible to highlight the text in a pdf document while you are reading it with the Adobe Reader 7 or not? And also save the highlight?
If not, then do you know any other programs that can open a pdf file, highlight, and save the change?Thank you so much
From the Help file in Adobe Reader 7.0 To highlight, cross out, or underline text:
1. On the Commenting toolbar, select the Highlight Text tool , the Cross-Out Text tool , or the Underline Text tool .
2. Drag from the beginning of the text you want to mark up. Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to mark up a rectangular area of text. This is especially useful to mark up text in a column.
I was thinking you wanted to highlight text as your eyeballs move, but that is not the case. :) In checking out Acrobat Reader I find that we only have a HAND to work with.
So in Reader HELP I find that you have to Select the text select tool(Big letter T in tool bar)
The hand then changes to a large cursor line.
Then you can hightlight and copy text.
You cannot save any changes with Acrobat reader. You will need to full Acrobat or another PDF editor.
Thank you folks. I want to highlight the important part of the text as you used to highligh your textbook while you are reading it. I don't mean to highlight the text and copy it to a different program.
