Pdf files and highlighterHi,I have pdf document with the questions for my Fireman course. Very helpfully they have highlighted the answers in yellow but it makes it hard to revise with the correct answers in front of you 
Is there a way this can be switched off? I can't find anything in the tool bar. Thanks, Kevin |

Very doubtful unless you've got Adobe editor, even then it'll be hard.
You might want to try printing it out with the contrast turned down low - yellow doesn't print well, especially on black and white printers. Failing that, highlight all the answers with a stronger colour. |

It's probably edited into the pdf itself, not something that is "overlaid" later. A programme I've used in the past is Cadkas, that *might* let you edit it out. I don't promise that it does, though.

Re: Pdf files and highlighter
Kevin, if this has been deliberately prepared as a revision document, I'd expect there is some means to show/hide the answers. From your description it doesn't sound like its been implemented using comments. Is it possible its done using layers? The layer controls are accessed under 'navigation' on the View menu (at least for Mac). http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/8.0/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7c5d.html If that's not it, why not ask the provider of the document? You'd be more foolish NOT to ask, than to ask the question! |

Thanks for that
A very brief play shows that cadkas will at the very least allow me to make everything highlighted 
cheers, Kevin |
