Re: Acrobat Pro_Highlighting Multiple
Hi There,
Can you provide a little more context here please? Do you mean with an Adobe Presenter presentation? Within a document being shared in a virtual classroom? Which product/application are you using when you need this to happen?
Best,
David

Re: Acrobat Pro_Highlighting Multiple
DYUN,
Using Acrobat Pro 9.0.0
Reading OCR document--specifically an academic journal article-published.
While reading and reviewing the document in APro 9.0.0 I use highlighting feature, underlining feature. Also I use the Search/Find feature.
Bottom line.
When reviewing a document in Acrobat Pro 9.0.0, and I use the find feature, and the find feature tells me there are 28 occurances of the word I searched and found...
Is there a way for me to now highlight all the occurances of this one word?
Without of-course highlighting the first occurance, then tabing to see next occurance then highlighting the second occurance. IN MS WORD, you can do something advanced like find a word, say the word searched is "theory" and now I can tell MS Word in an advanced feature to highlight all 28 occurances of the work 'theory' all at once.
Thank you so much for your help.

Hey there,
I just tested this and Acrobat does indeed highlight the resulting instances of your search items in a light blue color. You can use the "Find Next" button to skip to the next instance of the search string.
For the future, I want to point you to our sister site AcrobatUsers.com where you can find Adobe Acrobat experts. This site is devoted to a different Adobe product called Acrobat Connect Pro. You will undoubtedly be able to get your Acrobat Pro question answered on their site: www.acrobatusers.com

Good Luck,

Closer home to Connect pro, you can use Flash Paper in Connect Pro Meeting and search text for a highlight. I doesn't highlight them all at once, but rather the first one. To see the next highlight, click the search icon next to the search text entry field.
