Mark up

Highlight, underline and strike out text

How to do it

Mark the parts that matter. Every PDF reader shows your marks once you save.

Open the PDF and choose Highlight on the toolbar. Underline and Strikethrough are in the ANNOTATE button on the toolbar, and under Tools > Annotate.
Drag across the text to mark it. The tool stays on until you right-click or press Esc.
Pick a color in the options strip under the toolbar. The Notes toolbar setup keeps color swatches right on the bar.
Save to keep your marks in the file.
