Highlight PDF text

Select text in the PDF preview and click Highlight in the toolbar. The selection is stored as a standard PDF highlight annotation and becomes part of the document when you save it. Highlights can span multiple lines and pages; the preview keeps unsaved highlights when it reloads. Annotation editing and removal are not currently supported.
