Select texts under "pencil" highlighting

Post by Davide78 »

Good morning, I find it very convenient to use the "pencil" tool to highlight parts of a document.
I ask if there is the possibility of setting it in such a way that its presence does not prevent the selection of the underlying text

Thanks

Hello Davide78,

You will need to switch to the "Select Text Tool" (it won't work with the automatic switching of the Hand tool) - and while that tool is active - you can hold down "Shift" and you would then be able to select text under such a pencil tool annotation:

Kind regards,
