Highlight
Highlight marks text the way a yellow marker would — and it saves as a real highlight in the PDF, so anyone who opens the file sees it.
How to do it
- Choose Highlight, from the toolbar or the Edit tools.
- Drag across the text you want to mark.
- To remove one, click a highlight you've added.
What to know
- Highlights are held until you Save, then written into the document as real annotations (not baked into the page).
- It needs real text to grab onto. On a scanned page, run Make Searchable first so there's text to highlight.
- Reorganizing pages clears unsaved highlights. If you rotate, delete, or reorder pages before saving, highlights you haven't saved are cleared — save first.
