Problem with highlighting text

I am not able to select and highlight my text in one of the pdf files, while I am able to do it in others ... Do I really have to take print and use a real highlighter for all of them?

This usually happens when there's no real text in the file, just an image with text in it. You can still mark it using some of the other commenting tools, like the Square tool. Alternatively, you can run Text Recognition on the file and if it works you'll be able to use the Highlighter tool.
