How do I freehand highlight a document?

Answer:

  1. Click the Format tab, then click the Fill Color dropdown menu to select a color for the highlight.

  1. Select Multiply from the Blend Mode dropdown menu to allow background objects to show through the highlight. The Opacity Dropdown can be used to determine the level or transparency in the highlight.

Please note:

  • The other Comment and Markup Tools can be used to create highlights of different shapes.
  • The Comment Styles Palette can be used to save customized highlighters for subsequent use. See here for further information.
  • To De-select the now enabled comment style, you can either select another tool, such as the Hand, or you can right click on the tool you are using and choose another style.
