Hi,

I´m trying to use adobe acrobat dc in  a surface tablet to highlighter text. The problem is that i just can´t scroll pages with the hand while highlighter pen is enable at the same time. When i try to scroll with the hand the text is highlighted instead.

 

To scroll i need to swap to the handscroll tool and then select the highlighter pen.

 

What i want is that while scrolling the text dont be selected or highlighted. I want that the highlighter only works when selecting the text and not when i´m scrolling.

 

Thank you,

Sorry for the english.

    How does this solve the issue? Doesn't work for me.

    Please be more specific about what is not working.

     

    In which operating system version, Acrobat Pro version and hardware type are you not able to scroll pages without disabling the Highlighter quick tool?
