Highlighting wordsEdit

Dear John; I'm prospecting for a userfirendly ( that means i'm not ready to program anything; i'm too old now) software that may highligh multiple keywords each with it's color ( as available on freepatentsonline for instance ) and preferably from a stored list. Presently i do this manually and one by one with word .( lacking orange color) That's lengthy for *.doc or .docx files but i'd like to extend this to pdf files and ideally do it as a batch on multiple files. ( similarly to batch OCR within acrobat )

I do not have Acrobat X yet ( some macros may allow to do this i heard). Would you have some suggestion even of commercial software.

I'm a slow reader and this would improove my speed of browsing.

If this concerns Vim and text files, I would say to use Highlight multiple words with a simple script to define the wanted highlights. Otherwise, I have no ideas. JohnBeckett 02:58, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
