How to highlight text in PDF using the pdfFiller desktop application for macOS

Portable Document Format has become firmly entrenched in our lives. Some people use it daily while working on documents. While others only have to use it once in a while, for example, when they need to highlight text in PDF or to file a report. And even though that task is basic, it can often require a specialized program to be used. Working with the PDF format can be dull. To make a good PDF editor, it has to work on macOS.
pdfFiller is a professional document management platform that enables you to concentrate fully on your work. The pdfFiller desktop app for macOS features comprehensive abilities for recognizing existing text and adding fillable fields. You can quickly and conveniently create interactive forms for your benefit.

02
Select and download the app for macOS
03
Go to Finder -> Applications -> pdfFiller
04

macOS computers have a default program for working with PDF called Preview, but it’s limited to only viewing PDFs and performing simple adjustments. It certainly meets some of your basic needs, but in case you have more advanced tasks, such as making difficult agreements or interactive surveys, Preview is not the answer. This is where most turn to pdfFiller.
pdfFiller is a excellent decision for macOS users to generate, change, and manage documents. It has advantages that captivate, including integrations with cloud services, a user-friendly interface, and an extensive library of ready-to-fill forms. For example, you can add a document from your Google Drive or select one of the 25 million form templates in the pdfFiller Library, then quickly highlight text in PDF and save it to your account. Even further, you can also install the pdfFiller iOS mobile app for immediate access to your account and documents even when on the go. Don't settle for less. Install the app now, sync on your devices, and use it anywhere, at any time!
