Click on the desired highlight that you want to delete and right-click on it. Now, head to the Comment menu and then click on the Comment tab on the left panel. We've been asked a couple of times why Acrobat needs two versions of the highlight tool, and it's all down to this ability of the second type to contain a note. The PDF file uploaded should appear on the program immediately. What started life as a 'highlight' has become a 'text note' as a result of entering something into the note field. In order to unhighlight text you just highlighted, you can go to Select Tool and then double-click the highlighted text in PDF, choose the icon of Delete, you can remove highlighted text in PDF easily. The fifth button is the 'text note' tool, and this is the annotation type Acrobat uses if you type something into the popup field of a 'regular' highlight, and hence this is why you see the highlight and the tiny speech bubble icon on the page. The first four do not display the sticky note icon even with a note attached, they simply display a tooltip (or open the note itself if you double-click them), so again there's no speech bubble on the icon. The bottom row contains text annotations. The second-left on the top row is the 'regular' Highlight tool - this draws the colored block over a text selection without any sticky note attached it's all it can do (which is why the icon doesn't have a speech bubble overlay, as the next two have).

Click the trashcan icon in the top toolbar to delete the selected PDF pages. Highlight the page thumbnails you want to delete 4. Select the document from which you want to delete PDF pages. The Acrobat X Annotations panel explains it a little clearer: The Acrobat PDF page remover makes it quick and easy to delete multiple pages from a PDF file.
