Hi
I'm a 3rd year undergraduate student. I prefer to download journal
articles in PDF format as I find them easiesr to read. The problem I
have is that I would like to highlight certain portions of the text
which I will then use to support my literature review. I realize that
I can not alter the text but is it possible to highlight portions?
As this is a free version I cannot phone for technical support. The
software is Adobe 9.
Thanks for any help!
