The document allows me to choose the highlight function; however, the highlighter tool doesn't highlight anything. The document is not protected and was saved via microsoft save to pdf. Thanks for you help!
You can use the Square tool to achieve a similar effect.

Can you select the text using the cursor tool? If not, it's not real text, but an image.
In that case you can still draw free-hand highlights by holding down Ctrl when using the tool.

I'm not sure what the cursor tool is. Highlight doesn't work with CTRL held
down. I am able to underline text.

Ok, found it. No I'm not able to select text with the cursor, so it must be
an image. Any ideas how to freehand highlight other than CTRL highlight
since that didn't work?

Why is this shown as a correct answer? I pay way too much money for this software to have to rely on inconvenient work-arounds that simulate (poorly) the desired effect.
