Where Do I Find The Highlight Tool

Hello folks! I recently subscribed to Acrobat Pro DC. I was just viewing a PDF user's guide for a new PC I recently bought. There were several things that I wanted to Highlight so I could spot them easier later. I CAN NOT find the highlight tool - where is it hidden? I have all updates installed.

 

Thanks!

    Hi wchettel,

    In the right side tools panel you can type Highlight into the search tools text field and it will locate the tool for you.  You can use that for any tool you are looking for so is pretty handy.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Dimitri,

    Thanks for your help! I am used to the tool layout in Acrobat Pro v9.5. With your help, I did find the highlight tool in Acrobat Pro DC, but then it would not activate. I discovered that the PDF file was passworded and all security except for printing was "Not Allowed". I used Google Chrome to remove the password and security. Now I can finally highlight the file.

     

    Thanks again for your help!

    Printing has nothing to do with adding comments (which is what highlighting is)...
