Highlighting and striking text in a PDF document is also called annotating. When you annotate, you stress words and phrases for a purpose and it may be for correcting a paper or it may be for citing the importance of the text. On more specific terms, PDF highlights give emphasis while strikethrough PDF means deletion.
