Highlight tool automatically goes to pan tool

[alexandradefreitas]

Hi

When I click on the highlight tool and highlight a specific text, the cursor automatically goes straight to the hand tool. When I hover my cursor over the hand tool, it is described as 'click to pan around the document'. This means that every time I want to highlight a text in my document, I have to reclick the highlight button which is quite annoying. I would like to keep my highlight tool on as I go through the pages of my document so that I can highlight different texts without reclicking the highlight tool. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Can someone please please help me? 

Kind regards

Alexandra

Thank you, how do you run a text recognition on your pdf? I'm clueless 😞 

[Bernd Alheit]

 text recognition is possible with Adobe Acrobat.

I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, is it only possible to do text recognition with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?

"I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, is it only possible to do text recognition with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?"

No, it is also possible with Acrobat Standard.

I was asking how to rename a .pdf file. So, if you open a file called
008vvsrpinngpomg you used to click or pick RENAME from a list and Re-name
the fike "8 Foot Ping Pong Table Specs" if you wanted to. Nothing on those
pages listed renaming.

Hi,

which version of Adobe Reader DC are you using?

In Edit, Preferences, go to General, and in the Basic Tool section tick the box labeled " Make Hand tool select text & images".

Hi

It says Continuous Release Version 2019.021.20061. Thank you, I tried that and unfortunately nothing has changed

You can lock the tool with the pin.
