Nonetheless, what if I told you there are ways to go around this? The following are steps you can take to highlight document texts from PDF in a manner that you like by using PDFelement. This will limit commenting, highlighting or copying the text in the PDF document. In the same way, an encrypted PDF file might require a password before you can access it. Security features of the PDF file make it hard for you to access the file.
This means that you cannot use this feature with scanned files that have been converted text to image. As a matter of fact, the PDF highlight text tool works with only ‘real’ text.
