Highlighting works, then it doesn't work

Hello Adobe,

My e-book is DRM protected. I can not copy paste any text. Which is fine because it is a study book and you have added a highlight function for me to help me get to the core of the contents.

The highlighting function works. Sometimes. Yesterday I highlighted away. Today, I continu in the same document and the Highlight option is greyed out. CTRL+M does nothing. So I scroll to previous pages. Also there the option is greyed out. But CTRL+M does highlight a text. I don't get this random behaviour?!? I would like to hear a solution promptly.

Regards,

René

Hello Adobe,

The problem still persist. I can see multiple users have this issue. Has this issue been added to your "to do" list? I have had no reaction.

With regards,

René

Now 1pm and highlighting has again stopped working. However, it returned after restarting the app.

Would appreciate a reply from Adobe Support after the New Year break. Paul

Have this exact problem. Has this really not been fixed in the last 4 years?

I am having this same problem right now as well. It renders the Adobe Digital Editions effectively ineffective. After all, don't most people use this for checking out books for study, research, etc.? Highlighting seems like a very basic feature one would expect to work without fail.

 

So annoying and disappointing! Adobe, please fix ASAP!

 

Thank you,

 

Jeff

Highlighting will work me until Ihit a new chapter, then it will stop. I have to go back to the library then reopen the book and I can highlight again. I wish Adobe would fix this.

The highlighting problem as described persists.  I guess Adobe has no intention of fixing it.  I've had problems with other Adobe products that seem to persist for years.  It's gotten to the point now that I pursue competitor's products first, with Adobe products becoming the last resort.
