I am sorry, I didn't read that last line.
I use the same strategy to highlight across all types of PDF readers using Popclip.
I recommend Keyboard maestro for this task if you are on the Mac.
I have a small pallet in KM that I use to highlight, underline, strikeout texts across all text editors (rtf editors; I used to do s...
