Get from App Store
Highlighting PDF files is one of the most commonly used markup functions. Highlighting helps you find the key points in long articles much more easily, which can save a lot of time while studying or reviewing business documents. For Mac users, Apple's built-in application, Preview, can help you highlight PDF files easily in Mac.
But if you also need to edit or annotate PDF files using more advanced features than Preview, you can use PDFelement, an excellent PDF editor which gives you the ability to edit, annotate, and mark up (highlighting included) PDF files easily, all within one program. Here is a quick guide showing you how to highlight PDF on macOS X (including High Sierra and Mojave).
