Highlight text in a PDF and then save it

Do you know of any programs that will allow you to highlight text in a PDF and then save it?

That’s all I need to do. As a student I have heaps of PDF documents to read, and it would be great if I could highlight text in PDFs and re-save them for future reference.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, all you would to do is select the text tool in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, highlight the text, and right-click / select "copy".

If the text is part of an image, you can use Acrobat to OCR the page in question. Then you can highlight and copy.

HTH, Ian
