What version of Reader? What happens when you try to use it?

[TS2b4u]

The version is Acrobat Reader DC.

Hi,

Please let us know the Reader version you are using from: Help > About Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Also, what is the error you are observing?

Regards,

Acrobat Reader DC (latest version... I just downloaded it last week).

Can you select text in the document?

[TS2b4u]

No, I can't select text either.

Then it's not real text, just an image. You can't use the Highlighter tool

on it. Use something else, like the Square tool.

Thank you and is there a way to convert to text?

Not with the free Reader, no. You would need Acrobat to do it.

When you can't select text you can use one of the other markup tools.

Thank you for your input.
