Marker tool for image only pdf files

Post by riad »

Marker tool for image only pdf files:

I did not find such option (the text marking option only works in searchable files).

Did i miss somthing ?

If the option does not exist: Could you please add it ?

Note: I use PDF Xchange Pro latest release.

Regards

Hi,

If you are referring to the highlighting option - please see this KB article:

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/203

NOTE - by definition Image based files dont have any text - only a single image which represents the text ;)
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

Hello riad,

May I suggest you to also check this KB Article and let us know if this is an easier workaround for you:
How do I place freehand highlights
While the article was created for a different scenario you can easily adopt it for image based PDFs as well.

Best,
Stefan

Glad to hear that Riad,

I will make a note in Paul's ticket as well - so that we can close that.

Best,
Stefan
