I am trying to highlight but it gives me the pencil which is more like shading which makes it messy. How can I use a highlighter pen instead of the pencil?

Hi cybelew20851729,

The highlight tool is improved in the latest release and now you can highlight even on Scanned Pdf and images.

On Scanned pdf and images the highlight will work same as freehand with a new cursor (Ball shape)  icon to identify it . For normal Text  highlight will work in old manner with a different cursor icon (I shape) when you hover mouse on text.

Please reply  back if you see any issue.

Thanks

Hi cybelew20851729

You can use highlight text option under comment tool.

If you are experiencing issue with this tool, then please share the dot version of Adobe application and OS you are using.

Also share the screenshot for the same.
