Ubuntu – Highlighting pdf using evince

evince

I use Evince a lot and I have also tried other alternatives. I just love the smoothness of Evince. Recently, I have the need to highlight text in pdf files. Is it possible to do that in Evince?

You can use Annotate the document button. Then move to the annotation and click right button, annotation properties, and then select the color.

See http://www.debugpoint.com/2016/05/evince-3-18-2-comes-with-text-and-highlight-annotation-in-ubuntu-16-04/ for visual support (for evince 3.18.2+)
