Highlights Across Page Breaks - Page Numbers, Footers, Headers, etc.

Post by shade-cabin-hammock »

Hi,

If I need to highlight a block of text that begins near the end of a page and then crosses over into a next page, then I'll wind up highlighting the page number at the bottom of the page and the header, too at the top of the next page.

What are my best practices there? Just drag across, pulling into the highlight the bottom page number, footer (if any) and then header of the next page along with the text?

Any settings or switches that can get the extraneous elements like footers and page numbers to be left out?

If not, any time-honored work arounds among experienced users?

In most cases, the highlight refers to an expression of a single idea, so it would be easiest if it could be just a single formatting unit when I get to exporting all the highlights and comments from the work.

Thanks!

SCH
Sincerely,

Hi SCH,

Could you please send us one of the files with which you have this issue?

Also, could you please tell us what version is your PDF Editor?

You can see the version in the PDF Editor's Help -> About menu.

Regards.

Hi shade-cabin-hammock

unfortunately there is no simple way todo this. As you pointed out in a post recently, PDFs are entirely coordinate based and there is no linear flow to text across pages.

The text will always be split across the pages that they are actually on, the page numbers we can't avoid selecting I am believe.

I can ask the devs if there is anything we can do here but I suspect we are already doing what we can in this respect.
Best regards
