You may have received an access-restricted PDF. The original author of the file may not have wanted other users to copy information directly out of the document and thus used a PDF editor to restrict those functions. Again, you should contact the original author where possible if you need many passages from the text.
Adding comments using the Add Comments tool Sticky Note: Click at the location where you want to place a note. Highlight Text: Select the text to highlight it. Underline Text: Select the text to underline it. Strikethrough Text: Select the text to strikethrough.
Why Some PDF Files Cannot be Highlighted Main Reason. One of the most important reason due to which users cant highlight text in PDF document is the Comment Restrictions. When this type of security is applied on the PDF files, the docHub Reader Highlight Tool stops working or gets greyed out.
Ensure Its Not a Scanned File Such a file can be described as a scanned PDF. They differ from standard PDFs in that editing them is usually not possible. If you cannot highlight or select text in a PDF, the file might probably be a scanned copy and cannot be edited.
How to Remove Copy Protection from PDF Document? Open the PDF file with copy restriction with docHub Pro. On the top left corner, click on the Lock icon. Select Permission Details and in the Security Methods menu, choose No Security. Enter the Permission password and after that restrictions will be removed.
Yes, you can hide text in PDF for free using tools like docHub. To redact, click the Tools menu and choose Redact. Select Redact Text Images from the Edit menu to hide confidential material. Simply right-click on the desired PDF content or picture, and pick the Redact option.
For help you may press the F1 key while viewing a form. button in the upper right hand corner of the menu bar of the PDF form. After clicking this button the Fillable Fields within the form will be highlighted in a light blue color which will allow you to enter your information within these fields.
Scanned Documents The reason behind it is that scanned documents consist of images of text. If you want to copy text from a scanned document, you need to convert it to an editable PDF document. You can do that using the OCR feature in PDF converter tools.
