Adobe Acrobat Highlight Text Colors Hotkeys

Hello all, I have created the following scripts to automate highlighting text different colors in acrobat. I use this with Dragon naturally speaking so I can highlight via voice, so some of the written hotkeys are unintuitive, but the scripts themselves should work! Note: Each color has two highligh...

Re: Script to select down until line that starts with "# [["
