Hello,
I usually use Acrobat on my computer and I'm very happy with it.
I wanted to try it on my tablet (Samsung Galaxy tab A) and I can highlight things but only with few colors. How can I choose another color ? I'm unable to find orange for example, which is present when I open a pdf with words highlighted in orange...
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I am not entirely sure if what you are trying to do is now available as a premium feature. Some editing premium features can be unlocked if you log in with your AdobeID for Adobe Acrobat Pro, or PDF Pack for example.
On the other hand, I wonder if your Acrobat Mobile App is updated to refelect its current version. Alternatively I was wondering also if it would make any difference to update your AndroidOS in that tablet.
Your TabA should be using AndroidOS Marshmallow 6.0 which is kind of old. You should be able to upgrade to Android Oreo 8.1 (if you havn't yet).
You can try and uninstall the mobile app andjust for troubleshooting purposes, instead of using the appstore reinstall using the standalone offline installer from here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Select from the pulldown menu for Android versions 5 and above 32bit version

I opened Acrobat Reader on my iPhone and yes indeed, the highlighting colors are more limited than in the desktop app. That's just the way it is, in my experience. The programs technically have the same name, but they have different capabilities. Apparently, the color orange didn't make the cut to be included in the mobile version.
