     I have the exact opposite problem. This new updated Acrobat has squared edges for the highlighter and I'm used to the rounded ones. I wish they would just make a checkbox somewhere in the preferences for this.

    Unfortunately, that's not something that can be set. Each PDF editor is free to interpret what the on-screen appearance generated for a highlight looks like.

    I'm literally stopping using this app for this same reason. Not only did they add ugly round borders for highlighters (without giving the user an option to change then back), they also never added shortcuts for highlighters (I had to create my own shortcuts using Python).
