   Tip: After adding text markups with the Highlight, Underline, Strikeout, Squiggly Underline, or Replace Text tool, you can still drag the handle at the beginning or end of the text to adjust the text range you have selected. To copy the marked text, please do one of the following:

You can use Text Markup tools to indicate where text should be edited or noticed. Text Markups fall within the comments category and can be made visible/invisible by clicking Comment > Manage Comments > Comments > Show All/ Hide All. They do not change the actual text in the PDF. Instead, they indicate which text should be deleted, inserted, highlighted or underlined. Text Markup tools include Highlight, Squiggly, Underline, Strikeout, Replace, and Insert.

Foxit PDF Editor enables users to change the format of page numbering displayed in PDF viewers to meet different needs.

What’s Bates Numbering?

Bates numbering is used in the legal, medical, and business fields to place identifying numbers and/or date/time-marks on images and documents. These numbers may be solely numeric or may contain a combination of letters and numbers. It is a unique serial number attached to every page of a document collected and is also a method of indexing legal documents for easy identification and retrieval.

Sometimes you adjust the order of the bookmarks in your PDF document, and then you may need to rearrange the PDF pages according to the new bookmark order. To do this, you can use the Rearrange command in Foxit PDF Editor to quickly sort pages in just a few clicks.

You may need to reverse a range of pages that are created in reverse order, which happens a lot when you are scanning paper to PDF. If the PDF contains a large number of pages, reordering them manually will cost you a lot of time. With Foxit PDF Editor, you can reverse a range of pages in a few quick steps. 

The Flatten Pages feature can make annotations and form fields in the PDF file become part of objects of the PDF pages. This feature is often used when you want all the comments and form fields to be permanent so that the document receivers cannot modify them (unless they change them with editing tools), or when you want to lock the PDF document after completing the form fields to ensure that the document can be viewed consistently on all devices.
