Why highlight a PDF?
To improve comprehension
Highlighting a PDF document helps to structure the information better, making it easier to understand and remember. By highlighting essential points in colour, you make it easier to understand the text and remember important concepts.
Improved collaboration
Highlighting also improves communication between colleagues or teams. By highlighting, you share clear, visual observations. This simplifies discussions and decision-making.
Optimised document management
Large or technical documents, such as reports, contracts or studies, can quickly become complex. By highlighting key information, you save time when searching for specific information. Highlighting makes it easy to locate important passages.
