To keep select highlight tool, please click 'highlight' then check 'keep tool selected' by Manage comments under Comment menu.Ģ. May I know what's the version of Foxit reader installed? is it latest version 9.4.1?ġ. Is there an easier way to know if I have an update available? Thanks! Is the 'Check for updates' button supposed to be available to everyone? Because mine has always been grayed out, and I have to download the latest Foxit installer and click on it to see if there is an update available. I restarted my PC and updated Foxit to the latest version (after the problem started, trying to fix it, the update did not started the issue), but the problem still persists.Įdit: throwing an extra question in this post. Is there an option to keep this tool selected after using it? Maybe I changed something I'm being unaware of? I'm kind of worried because I can't use Foxit like that and this has never happened to me before. Now, after I highlight anything, the it also deselects the tool, and I have to click of 'Highlight' again to be able to highlight anything else, and then it's deselected again and this goes on.

Highlighting is the main thing I do while reading PDFs, and previously I could always select the highlighting tool, highlight anything, and after that the tool would still be selected and I could instantly highlight anything else I needed to. This problem started occurring now without me changing anything from the settings (as I'm aware). Edit 2: I completely uninstalled (also deleting settings files and file history, which I didn't use to do) and reinstalled Foxit, and both issues are now solved, the highlight tool remains selected, and the check for updates button is now working.
