removing highlights

How do I remove highlights from text?
Thanks,

Select them and press Delete?

If that doesn't work you will need to be more specific. Which kind of highlights, which version of Acrobat do you have, etc.

That didn't work. Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.

How were the highlights applied? If they were created before the PDF was created you will need to use the text edit tool and then right click to change properties.

With the Highlight Text tool

Select the highlights and delete them.

Heh...are they really highlights? Are they visible in Commenting tab? Maybe it is just text background 🙂 Upload the file somewhere...

Got it! Going to the Commenting tab showed me that the text had been
highlighted multiple times and each time I deleted one highlight it looked
like nothing had happened. So I deleted them all and, voila, highlighting
gone.

The Commenting tab showed me what was there.

Why did you highlight the text multiply times?
