How can I make rectangle highlighting in PDF XChange Editor? I don't want the curve at the beginning and end of highlighting.

Hello,

The behaviour of PDF-XChange Editor and Adobe Reader DC are equal when highlighting text, i.e. rounded corners.

As a 'work-around', to have straigth corners, you could imagin to draw a (comment) rectangle over the text, and changing its properties to have an equal Fill Color and Stroke Color, and a Blend Mode set to "Multiply".

You probably know that you can make your own variants of comment tools (clones) in PDF-XChange Editor.
