The problems with: Evernote for Windows: No easy way to scroll via touch, have to use mouse; hitting arrows to scroll up and down often throw it off Evernote for Web: Great touch features for scrolling up and down, but no highlight Evernote for Android: Also great for scrolling, but to highlight, one must Edit, lose half the screen for the keyboard, and then highlight Anyone find any better ways to read and highlight.

You should be able to highlight in a straight line by holding the Shift key down on your keyboard while highlighting text. Hope that helps! Works in Windows too I've not been able to find how to highlight or underline text in pdf documents included or attached to Evernote notes. I was expecting at least a few BASIC features for taking notes, highlighting or underlining text but all of the options are for me to draw on the bloody thing without any connection to the content itself.
I was hoping a paid subscription would give me at least some options but NO. I'm better off using Preview for underlining and Xmind for categorization and note taking.
Evernote allows you to annotate the content - ie add comments and marks. There's a reasonably full editor for Evernote Notes, and depending on your device you should be able to output that as a PDF 'snapshot' of the content. To change the content, edit the note and re-save as PDF. My vote is for Preview on a Mac and Notability on an iPad. Evernote does support some annotation features, but it's quite basic. I have to say as an evernote user it is utterly enraging how often I encouter threads like this.
Four years go by and evernote does, wait for it Nothing to improve this super basic functionality. It's quite possible, and has been for some time, to annotate and highlight text in PDF files, and to highlight in a text note. The How-To Geek site describes PDFs as "typically used to distribute read-only documents that preserve the layout of a page. If you want to edit the content you'd normally pay a substantial fee for PDF Editor software to open and re-save the format. Sadly, Evernote can't do that for you, even as a subscriber.
I'm able to highlight text in Evernote notes Mac and iPad - a long time feature I'm looking forward to colour options. You decided to be snarky and condescending and accuse someone of having a "meltdown" when they said something that you don't like. Criticizing evernote for chronic lack of responsiveness is hardly a "meltdown. I agree with the OP -- from 4 years ago -- that drawing a freehand rectangle leads to messy highlights and is not what anyone means by the term "highlighting" a pdf.
No, it is not and it's hard to read this as anything other than a willful misreading of the entire thread. Drawing a colored rectangle over a document is not "highlighting" the text -- at least not in the sense that the vast majority of people mean when they refer to "highlighting" a document, hence the comments by the OP and by Thora. Reads as slightly over the top criticism to me, hence 'meltdown' which was meant in an ironic and friendly manner, regardless of how it came across to you.
As I carefully explained earlier, editing and highlighting within a PDF requires an expensive editor, which Evernote is not. The help link you quoted shows clearly that all additions and annotations are overlays on the existing text, and not amendments to it. There are already explanations in this thread of how to draw a straight line and how others deal with highlighting.
Sorry you're frustrated by Evernote's features in that regard, but I don't see there being any major changes. The editors are supposed to be getting improved for cross-platform consistency, but since in this respect they seem pretty consistent already My gut tells me it's not going to be a priority.
