Hi

I'm having trouble highlighting a PDF document on my iPad. I had the same trouble last night, but then I found out I had to convert the PDF in order to be able to do that. I converted it, and everything was fine. But now when I want to continue highlighting, it won't let me do it. The document is still converted, cause I am able to highlight it on my computer, so I know it hasn't gone back to its original state. I have tried to reconvert it on my iPad, and it said that now I can highlight and all those things, but still, nothing is happening when I try. It's just zooming in on the text when I touch it with my apple pencil.

Please help!

    What convert did you do?

    Try with the fingers. It works for me. Be sure to use Acrobat on the iPad, not Preview!

      It's also just zooming when I use my finger.  I just used the option where it scans the PDF and converts it so you can edit it. It's a scan from a textbook. But I haven't touched my iPad since last night, when I was able to do it. And now it just won't cooperate.

        By zooming, you mean showing a loupe? I have that too on unrecognized text for a scanned document.

        Sending it through recognition allows me to mark text on my iPad, on my PC I can still mark graphics too. If I try that on my iPad, it's just scrolling around.

         

        Check if the document you have is really a document with recognized text.
