Question

Acrobat does not export highlighted text to images.

When exporting PDFs to image formats such as JPEG or PNG, Acrobat does not retain the highlighted sections and removes the highlighted colors. I wish that Acrobat could remember the settings/changes made to the PDF file during exports.

Is there a setting that I have missed out on?

    It should do, but if it doesn't try flattening the pages before exporting them, by running this JS code:

    this.flattenPages();

    Just make sure to close the file without saving (or saving it under a new name) afterwards, as the flattening process is NOT reversible and you'll lose the ability to edit the comments directly once you use it.

    Where and how am I supposed to run this code? Sorry, a rookie here.
