Removing highlight in Foxit Reader after saving the document

Question

I just installed Foxit Reader 2.4.1. To test the highlight function, I opened a pdf, highlighted some text, saved it, closed it and re-opened it. Now I can see the highlight, but I can't figure out how to remove the highlight after I save and re-open the document. Before closing the document, I could simply undo the operation but now I can't find a way to select the highlight. Is this not doable in Foxit Reader?

Solution

Step 1: Select Hand tool from Home menu.

Step 2: Right click on the highlighted part and select DELETE.

I have just tested it in my computer.

In my case selecting the 'hand tool' didn't work. I had to select the 'Default Mode' in the 'Tools' menu. Only then the Delete option showed up in the context menu.

The above comment is important — select "Default tool" under "Tools" menu for this answer to work.
