Highlighting scanned document

[Terry Barone]

Nitro Pro 11.  I am unable to highlight a pdf document.  Is grayed out and does not work

Nitro doesn't have a good way to markup picture-only documents (which most scans are).  You do have some options though:

You can use the Use OCR button and choose "make text searchable", which will let you highlight the document then.

You can fashion your own highlighting tool by using the rectangle tool, a light yellow fill color, and and appropriate transparency value.  You'll want to right-click on the rectangle, and choose "Make Current Properties Default", which will set your pseudo-highlighter as the default for the rectangle tool.

If you'd like to use the highlight tool on its own, post in the Product Improvement thread and let Nitro know.
