Exporting Highlighted Text

Post by cfsatrack »

I would like to export the text that I have highlighted to a separate rtf or txt file that I can edit. I have tried the summarize comments function, but I can only seem to get it to list the page number, date highlighted, etc. The actual text that I highlighted is not outputed. I found an earlier posts that seemed to imply that this should work. Does it work? Is there a work around?

So far I can only get the text to print out in the summary by copying and pasting it into a note attached to the highlighted text or sticky note. This is a hassel.

Thank you.

Hi,

you can change the options, so that the highlighted text is automatically copied in the comment.

Hi Eva,

And thanks for your comment. Yes it is currently possible to do that, and then you can summarize comments, but you can not obtain the pure text from the highlights on it's own as text directly - you now need to manually extract it from the summary.

What cfsatrack is asking is coming in ver3.

Best,
Stefan
