PDF Highlighting Limitations

PDF files always need to be opened in our PDF viewer. Web Highlights will transform those PDFs into a format that can be highlighted. Please note that for larger PDFs, this might take a while.

Also, currently, PDF highlighting has the following limitations:

  • You cannot highlight images in PDFs
  • Highlights in local PDF files can only be recreated if the PDF file is available on the same device at the same location
