Studying pdf files


Recommended Posts

Hi.

What software do you use for reading Chinese books?

I tried Adobe reader and nitro pro, but:

-Adobe: I can't type hanzi characters in textboxes

- Nitro: I can't highlight most Chinese characters. This also happens with ezpdf, in Android

How can I solve these problems? I'd rather use nitro

Thanks

PDF files are usually not editable. A PDF file is like a picture file.

 

Are you using a PC or Android?

 

You can get a program for PC that turns a PDF in to an editable WORD file. This is probably the easiest way to go.

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

 

P.S. Found this https://www.pdftoword.com/

I forgot to say that these are pdf of text. With Adobe reader, I can select all characters. With nitro I can't select most of hanzi

I am sorry I know nothing about Nitro. Maybe someone else maybe able to help.

Anyone? I really like nitro, but I can't select most of the simplified characters of the pdf that I'm studying.

What pdf readers do you guys use?

Thanks!

I am able to add Chinese text to PDFs with Adobe Pro 11. 

 

Can you say more about not being able to type characters in Adobe? Do they show up as &(*&(#*% or 口口口? If the latter it could be encoding issues with your computer.

I could get that problem with Adobe reader fixed , installing an Asian pack. But I'd rather use nitro :)
