Highlighting in new Acrobat Pro

Hi all,

I am test-driving the new UI and reserving judgment for now....

However, one issue I have noted relates to highlighting text.  It seems that the options in terms of colours are restricted compared to the classic UI.  Am I missing something?

Any help gratefully received.

 

Kind regards

 

 

Simon

    Hi @simont43406312 ,

    The extended color options for Highlight text are available under the Quick tools menu -> Color picker(see attached screenshot).

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Rohit

    I have to agree with Barbara and Simon. Not having a pop out style properties tab, makes us have to go through multiple screens to use our custom colors. I often use my highlights to categorize information as I study and research. It really would be great to have that as an option.

    Thanks, Rohit,

     

    I can make this work following the steps you have suggested, but it feels very clunky versus the classic UI.

    Glad to know that it worked!

    However, i would like to understand the issue further when you say "feels very clunky versus the classic UI". If possible can you please share a video of the workflow along with the issue.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Rohit
