Acrobat Highlight Marker Highlights, But Does Not Print

[booklover]

Hello again and thanks again,

My Acrobat 5 can yello-highlight text (with the Hightlight Tool) --
but then I would like to print the PDF pages and see the highlight
markings -- in gray on my black-and-white laser printer..

But printing the pages with Highlighted text just prints the pages
alone, as if there is no highlighting there.

Is there a work-around so that I can print the highlights on the
page ?

The "Print" dialog is different from each version of Acrobat/Reader to
another version -- but usually there ist a checkbox "[x] print comments"
or a pulldown menu with a "document _and_ comments" option or something
similar to that. ("Highlighting" is considered being a "comment" in a
PDF document.)

Thanks a million, Michael. After reading your post, I looked on my
printing dialogue box, and found the box to check for printing
comments. Now my PDF pages will print these highlights.

One small problem: it is printing grey dashed lines around the words
that I highlighted. I would prefer a darker highlight (it would be
easier to see)-- like a gray highlight marker that colors the complete
rectangle around the word. ... But this dashed line surrounding the
word is still usable enough.

Thanks again ... RW

On a MAC, go to print dialogue and in the "comments and forms" drop down, select,
Documents & Markups.
