Can it be one single highlight, or do you plan for multiple highlights in the document?

The answer to this question determines the tool to use, and then how to proceed further.

As far as I know, Acrobat does not support split text selections.

One workaroud would be using the Highlight commenting tool to do the selection, and set the preferences so that the highlighted text gets put into the comment popup box. You then can loop thorough the annotations/comments, and create either a report, or a a text file.

Hope this can help.

how to create text file in acrobat 10 sir?
and one more doubt can i search selected text directly instead of opening the search box n then copy pasting the selected text or is there any keyboard short cut to copy paste the text directly to search box?
