Is there a way to automatically highlight text in a PDF while selecting instead of selecting text and then choosing “Highlight” or using a hotkey? It seems like there should be a function to do this since even iOS Preview has this, but my markup button is not selectable even when I add it to the toolbar.
note: I’m using Devonthink 3.0 and am still in trial period. In fact, this is the only thing holding me back from purchasing a license.
Thanks, PopClip works for me, but hard to believe I need to buy another application for such a trivial function that’s built-in to both Preview and Adobe Acrobat! It’s irritating having to click another button to highlight a sentence but I guess this helps me reserve my highlights for truly valuable information…
