Hilighting objects in Acrobat Pro

[phil_1]

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro and I'm not sure why I am unable to highlight objects? Only text.

Reading instructions from a google seearch, it instructs to go to the comments tab, (which I don't have). I only have a comments tools and it doesn't have highlight capabilites. When I select the highlighter, it only highlights text. Trying to mark up a file for someone and I need this capability. Any advice?

Thank You.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

The Highlighter tool only works on text. Use one of the other commenting tools, like Square, to free draw a box on the page. It's not a highlight, but it's similar.

I don't have shape tools in my comment tool options. And I know I've seen the highlighter used on non text items in instructional vids. But my UI is different from others I've seen??

Post a screenshot of what you're seeing, then.
