How to get rounded / capsule / pill-shaped ends on text highlighting in Adobe Acrobat?

How do you get this exact pill/capsule-shaped highlight with rounded ends? (See attached photo). No matter what I try, I always end up with a sharp rectangular box

    ​@Lavish_Shimmer9dc7 Are you referring to Acrobat's Highlight Text tool, then no, Acrobat does not create a true pill/capsule-shaped highlight with perfectly rounded ends like a marker stroke such as Illustrator.
