Free Online PDF Highlighter — Highlight Any PDF, No Install
You can't highlight a PDF in Chrome. You can open one and read it, sure. But try to mark a sentence, and there's nothing there to do it with.

Fine advice — unless you've got a single PDF to mark up and no interest in installing anything for it. So I built a version that skips all that. It's a web page: open it, drop in a PDF, and highlight away.
