Line highlighter for reading?

I am trying to see if Adobe has a facility for highlighting a whole line horizontally over a text and scroll the line up and down the page while only highlighting one line at a time?

 

I have a brain injury and find it difficult to focus and follow one line when reading. I use a lot pdfs so I need to find a solution. I get distracted by multiple lines

Hi @Eric27443838ftak 

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

 

We do not have this functionality yet, to highlight one line and  scroll the line up and down the page to highlighting one line at a time. You may share your feature request with the engineering team using the link https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

Please let me know if this functionality has been added to Adobe Acrobat Pro (vs 2022.003.20322). Having a scrollable reading line(s) function would be a huge benefit to those of us whose work relies upon reading and entering text from a busy PDF accurately. Do not need to edit/save the file with the line, just use it as a reading guide. Example document, lengthy property legal descriptions. 

Thanks for any information, or suggestions/work arounds, you may have.

No, that hasn't been added until now. 

 

Go to https://acrobat.uservoice.com and create an idea on this, if you do not find this idea.

I can't see a scrollable highlighting bookmark reading tool has been added so I've tried to search for the idea to vote for it but sorry, I don't have time to look through hunderds of suggestions - could you please put a link to it on here so I can support it? 

Seems to me a really obvious fix for reading accesibility; I often print documents just so I can use a bookmark to keep my eyes following the correct line. 

I'm now going to hunt the internet for alternative viewing software that does have that capability!

thank you
