Highlighting text in PDF document

I am a surgeon and subscribe to lot of medical journals which are now increasingly made available for downloading in PDF format. I am used to highlighting the important text in an article with an ordinary hi-lighter pen to make it easy when I need to go back to that article.

Is there a way one can highlight the text in a PDF document the way one can highlight it on a paper? Will professional versions of Acrobat solve my problem?

To change the color of the highlighting, right click on highlighted text and select properties. You can select any color you want.

Does Acrobat Pro Extended (version 9) allow text highlighting in any color other than yellow? I, too, am a physician, and I like to highlight different types of text in different colors (e.g., green for numbers and pink, orange, and yellow for text of decreasing importance).

Acrobat Pro gives you the ability to highlight text. There are many other things you can do along these lines with the application as well.
