Have you tried selecting the text with the selection tool, right-clicking and choosing Highlight? By the way, highlighting tools only work out-of-the-box in Adobe Reader X. With earlier versions you would need to have opened a PDF file that was enabled for commenting in Reader [which is done in Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions]. You’d know if that was the case as the message bar at the top of the document would tell you.

Simple: select the highlight, then press Delete.

Please make sure you have updated to the latest version of Adobe Reader X. Otherwise, try posting to the forums at forums.adobe.com or acrobatusers.com.

Addendum to my previous question: I have tried re-highlighting the text in question and toggling the highlight button, but this doesn’t work.

Hi there. In adobe reader x, when I try to save a comment/sticky note. Its prompts me to replace existing file. This process then several minutes. This issue doesn’t exist with say nitro pdf whereby clicking the disk icon the document save the changes made immediately. Am I doing something wrong? Please advise. Thanks

Hi Ana! In Adobe Acrobat X, either Distribute the form (from the Forms pane of the Tools pane on the right side of Acrobat), or choose File > Save as… > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features… That will create a copy of your PDF form that someone with the free Adobe Reader can save.

[I will send you an email off-line too] One good resource for tutorials on Adobe Reader is Adobe TV. Just search for "Adobe Reader" once you get there. For example, here is a short video on filling out forms in Adobe Reader X. You can find similar tutorials and videos at www.acrobatusers.com. Thanks!

I am a novice in using adobe. I downloaded a genealogy form which I am trying to fill in with information. In trying to use the highlighter, I hightlighted something and can’t undo it, I figured out how to use the text box,and now I get a “|” bar and it won’t let me type anything.(I don’t understand how I enabled this function) I am just not understanding all the capabilities/functions of this program and am frustrated trying to figure this stuff out.
Can you direct me to an easy to understand “help” guide?
Thank you so much, Sarah please use my email (or copy to my email if you respond on this site) for response ’cause I do not know if I can find this site again.
