How to highlight on pdf windows pdf#
It is possible to write a wrapper and make it a standalone software to "process several PDF files at once" - but it is not capable of doing that for now.Īnother strong feature: if you have previously highlighted text using Acrobat Pro and you forgot to check the preference: ‘Copy highlight,underline and strikeout tool to comment pop up setting is enabled’, nmcHighlighter will still work and be able to extract the highlighted text. Since Word 2013, you can open a PDF file directly and convert it to an editable Word document. You probably have a copy of Microsoft Word already. It works as an Add-on for both Acrobat Reader and Pro, as such it can process the current open PDF. To review a highlight, control-click the text and chose Remove Highlight. To "extract" without copying to the comment boxes: extract highlighted data, then close-without-saving the PDF file. I hope someone will find it useful (it does a LOT MORE than copying highlighted text. (Disclaimer: I am the developer of the Acrobat Add-on: nmcHighlighter for Acrobat). Here is a free and easy to use solution - an Acrobat Add-on written in JavaScript. So please don't visit the site thinking it is a free app.īut if anyone wants to take the same path and develop from scratch, I can help with pointers, if you email me (Alex) at I have been a regular visitor of coding sites including stackexchange and stackoverflow till now but this is my first post here :)
