This is so weird. I have Adobe Acrobat X. I download PDF's for school, and highlight them. When I first got adobe, I could click on the highlight tool and then click to highlight a passage, and a box would come up and would ask me if Adobe could... for lack of better words, process the document so that it could recognize the text that needed to be highlighted. Once this process was done, the highlighting tool would work perfectly and everything saved as normal. Well, one day I selected the highlight tool, clicked on the text, the box came up and I clicked the little box that said, "dont ask me this again", assuming that from now on when I clicked the highlighting tool Adobe would just do its thing by processing the document and all would just be hunky-dory. WRONG. Now the highlighting tool doesnt work at all and then when ever I save a .pdf and then try to reopen it, the first page just shows up blank. Super annoying. Any suggestions Adobe gods?
Hi Saken,
Although I am not quite sure which dialog box you are talking about, but if you can give me the workflow i would possibly be able to let you know the registry entry to UNDO- "dont ask me again" and it will start prompting again. If that helps you.
Highlight text tool doesn't really add any extra page. There must be something else.

Sandeep,
When I first got adobe, I could click on the highlight tool and then click to highlight part of the text in the PDF, and a box would come up and would ask me if Adobe could... for lack of better words, process the document so that it could recognize the text that needed to be highlighted. Once this process was done, the highlighting tool would work perfectly and everything saved as normal. Well, one day I selected the highlight tool, clicked on the text, the box came up and I clicked the little box that said, "dont ask me this again", assuming that from now on when I clicked the highlighting tool Adobe would just do its thing by processing the document and all would just be hunky-dory. WRONG.
Thanks!
O... No worries! That's no rocket science.
