Classic Toolbars UI:
Tools->Comment and MarkUp Tools -> Highlight Text Tool

Ribbon UI:
Home-> Highlight

Hello MJLeduc,

Thank you OVG for your assistance. It may be possible that there is no text data on that document, such as when a document is scanned. In such cases you must OCR the pages. In the ribbon UI go to Convert> OCR pages:

Then, you can use the Highlight text tool here:

I hope this helps!
