Foxit reader 7 text Highlighter issue !!!!

[Deepal Jayasekara Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Deepal Jayasekara]

I recently upgraded from Foxit reader 6 to 7 and noticed that in the new version, text highlighter tool highlights text seperately for each word excluding spaces between words. And also when I highlight a sentence, the This causes difficulty to see highlighted content. (Part of the Screenshot attached). Is this a bug or a feature? And there's any way to solve it other than reverting back to the old foxit version? (OS: Win8.1)

Thank you

Hi Deepal,

May I get a copy of the PDF in question for testing purpose? If it is inconvenient to upload to forum, you may email it to [email protected]. (Attn: Cherry)

Hi Deepal,

I've reported this issue to Foxit internal bug tracking system for further investigation. Report ID#: 53927. You may write to [email protected] to track the processing status of this issue.
For your current workaround, you may use the "Area Highlight" feature under "Comment" menu to highlight the text instead.

Some issue here with 7.03.916 on Win7Pro-32 on any pdf document. Your "Area Highlight" workaround works fine, but only as highlight feature. Underline is unsolved.

Hi m.m,

I've added your comments to Report ID#53927 for processing as well. Thank you for your kind understanding.

If you'd like, you may go under "Comment"->"Drawing" and use Line tool instead when you need to underline the text as a workaround. Thank you.
