The Adobe highlighter tool in Acrobat allows you to easily emphasize text in your PDF documents. Here's a breakdown of how to use it:
Steps to Highlight Text in Adobe Acrobat:
- Open your PDF: Begin by opening the PDF document you wish to highlight within Adobe Acrobat.
- Select the Text: Click and drag your cursor across the specific text you want to highlight. As you select the text, a small toolbox will automatically appear above it.

Example
Imagine you're reading a research paper and come across an important definition. Simply click and drag your mouse across the definition, and then select the highlighter tool to quickly mark it for later review.
Tips for Effective Highlighting:
- Be Selective: Don’t over-highlight; focus on the most important parts of the text.
- Color Coding: If available, use different highlight colors to categorize your highlighted information.
