So! I'm going through this long abstract file tying to get it past my wee perceptual powers. And, it aint easy!
To keep the screen as low-complication as possible, I'd like to be able to just bold text as I go through it.
Using this process:
Click Edit Content > Select Text > Click Formatting Tab (Or, "B" in toolbar that I've got.) > Click B
It's a few too many steps - and invoking edit content always jars the screen a bit - everything turns into boxes; the screen will bounce sometimes.; things shift on the screen a bit.
BUT...the KEY thing is the lines of text around the bolded element. For MOST PDFs that I work with, bolding the text throws the surrounding lines out of kilter.
So, for almost ALL PDFs, trying to add bold was just a no go, despite how much it would help.
As I noodled around this problem, one time I finally tried to add a STROKE to text.
That WORKED! No bumping the surrounding lines.
But, it's even more click-intensive:
Click Edit Content > Select Text > Click Formatting Tab > Choose Stroke Color > Choose Stroke Width
And, it's a real CONCENTRATION sink. Whatever wee insight I had to the thing I was trying to make bold pretty well gets scrambled away by the nature of the process, and the number of steps.
Is there any other way you can see that I could easily effect a "Bold" to selected text that would SKIP the "Edit Content"?
Any heavy users - really, this is a cri-de-coeur: have you found anything that can APPROXIMATE a bold effect that's really easy to apply?
Dear PDF-X team - is there anything you could see relative to Commenting Tools that I could rig as a single-click way?
I know I could just do a LIGHT Highlight.
Also, underlines are an option. But, for my peculiar learning style, there seems little better than bold.
I know I could convert to Word, but there's a TON of other tools that I need which are ONLY PDF-X. I'd get bold but...that'd be ALL I'd have.
The goal - a single-click bold effect in PDF-X.
If there's anything you all can see, or are using now - please share!
Sincerely,
SCH
