Highlight PDF
Highlight, underline or strike through text in a PDF. Free, and it runs on your device.
Highlight PDF lets you mark up a document the way you would with a pen: drag across a line to highlight it in yellow, green, pink or blue, underline it, or strike it through. It is handy for studying, reviewing a contract, or showing someone exactly which part matters. Marks can be moved, resized and deleted, and you can undo any step. The highlight is see-through, so the text underneath stays readable. Everything happens inside your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
