Make highlighted Text extractable for "Docear"

[Lisa_lee]

I'm currently running Foxit 8.3.1.21155 an cannot find the aforementioned option. Docear is not able to extract text highlighted by Foxit, nor can I find any settings relating to this. Am I missing something?

Dear VanCaspel,

Please go to "File"tab in Foxit PhantomPDF>"Preferences">"Commenting",please check the option"Copy selected text into highlight,Squiggly Underline,and Strikeout comment pop-ups">click"OK"to save the setting.
Afer then,please highlight texts in PDF file in Foxit Reader.

Hello All, This feature you all requested in thread will be implemented in our next release version of Foxit Reader--Foxit Reader 8.1. Please keep an eye out for the new release.

I believe that Docear could be a nice solution for scientific paper writing.

Yes, please! This would make a huge difference, and is a great feature to add. Really nice that the Android edition already does this! Keep up the good work, looking forward to the new update!

Sorry that I can't promise the release date of version 8.1. But you may sign up for Foxit Newsletter at: https://www.foxitsoftware.com/
Then you'll receive the release info in time by email. If the new feature is implemented in version 8.1, all the versions released after version 8.1 (includes 8.1) will work with Docear. Thank you.

Thank you for the continuous updates.
Any idea when 8.1 will be released? Can we kept up to date on it?
Also, for the programmers, will the changes to Foxit work retroactively?
That is, for Foxit to work with Docear it needs to save highlighted text as a comment. If it will start doing that from 8.1 could it also work for highlighting done in pre-8.1?

Hello Foxit,

Are there any updates on either the implementation status or the release of version 8.1? Thanks!

Hi GIST,

I can't promise you the accurate date. But version 8.1 is planned to be released in Decemeber, 2015, if everything goes well. Thank you again for your kind understanding.

Hi Cherry, I'd like to find out when Foxit Reader 8.1 is expected to be released. I've just downloaded the mobile version 4.4 which I'd like to use with Docear and found out that the highlighted text is not extractable. I'm using Foxit Reader on my ipad that I'd like to use to highlight content that I'm going to use for my Masters Thesis that I'll use with Docear.

HI Peter28,

Just a quick update: We plan to add "when text is highlighted, show highlighted text as comment text" to version 8.1 so the highlight text could be extract-able for Docear. If everything goes well, this feature could be available in version 8.1.

[Peter28]

Hi
Could you please let us know when (or if at all) we can expect the feature of extracting highlighted text from the pdf and/or making it availble for Docear?

Hi corrado,

Sorry for this. This request has already been forwarded as suggestion (Suggestion ID#READER-946) to Reader PM team back in June 2014 when you wrote to us. I've added a reminder to Suggestion ID#READER-946 to PM team to get an update.
