Highlight, underline and strike out text
Use highlights, underlines and strikeout marks to review a PDF.
Before you start: Open your PDF, continue through Arrange to Customise, and choose Markup. Text markup needs selectable text.
Highlight the important words
Under Markup, choose Highlight and drag across the words you want to mark.
Adjust the highlight
Select the highlight to change its colour and opacity in Properties.
Underline or strike out text
Choose Underline or Strikeout and drag across the relevant wording. Select a mark to adjust or remove it.
Check the saved PDF
Choose Continue to review, export a PDF and reopen it. Check that every mark covers the intended words.
Tip: Strikeout is a review mark. Use Redact when the underlying information must be removed.
Common questions
Why can’t I highlight a scan?
A scan may contain only an image. Recognise its text first, then check that the selected words match the scan before adding markup.
Can I change a mark after placing it?
Select the annotation to change its properties or remove it before exporting.
