I looked for solutions for months & finally decided to try the trial version of Acrobat PRO DC. This HIGHLIGHTER TOOL ISSUE is BEYOND FRUSTRATING! I've been using Acrobat XI for years &then suddenly the Highlighter tool began making large oval blobs on my PDF's. Hopefully this continues to work for me and will work for others as I know it's rather irritating! If you are opening a PDF from an email or similar source, and not downloading or saving it there may be other settings to look at. If you are scanning a document in, you'll want to make sure your scanner settings are set to text/document rather than image/photo. Find function also works.įrom what I've found, printing to "Adobe PDF" seems to cause the problems I'm having. I close the web page, then open the file from Adobe and am able to highlight without issues as the text is recognized. Find function also works.ģ) Download the File which auto-saves as a pdf and opens as a Chrome link. This method, for whatever reason, makes the text recognizable and I am able to highlight without issues. It appears Adobe thinks this is an image and not a document, the "Find" function also will not find words in this case (even after using the "recognize text" feature).Ģ) Print - Selecting "Save as PDF" as my printer choice. The highlighter tool will mark large, irregular sections of the page rather than the lines of text I want. This is the one that causes issues for me. I have three options to save these files as PDFs on my computer:ġ) Print - Selecting "Adobe PDF" as my printer choice. For instance, I often obtain files from another company's portal. I have found that it really depends on the type of file you are using. Since the offered solutions did not seem to work for others, I did more testing on my own. I searched for a solution today and found this forum. Hello, I have had this frustrating issue also.
