Here are the facts. More at http://www.adobeforums.com, that goes to http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/main.html and then click "Adobe Acrobat Mac" and then the message "Cannot mark text with highlighter tool (yellow fluorescent marker) of Acrobat Pro 7.02 on Mac OS X". In short: pdfText generates PDF files that have the following bug: I can select and mark text on such PDF files with the highlighter tool (sort of yellow fluorescent marker) the very first time that I open a document. Yet, the next time in a row, it is not possible (instead the text below is selected and yellow-marked in an erratic way. Tested with Acrobat Pro 7.02 on Mac OS X 10.3.9. Try with this file: http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2005-07-01/pdfs/A23458-23458.pdf The culprit is pdfTeX, as explained in the Adobe Forum indicted above: ----- I examined the file internally, and it claims to have been made by pdfTeX version 3.14159-1.10b. It also messes up other information. Creator (which should be the name of the software designing the page) is a filename. Author, which should have been BOE, is blank. To anyone who knows PDF, this sort of thing will ring alarm bells! ----- Note: the workaround is to open the file with Adobe Acrobat Pro and then: Advanced>Accessibilty>Add Tags to document. If possible, please this annoying bug so that PDF files created withpdfTeX do not have such problem. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=384&group_id=106
