The default Document Viewer application (evince) in Ubuntu has true full screen mode.
( View -> Presentation )
Document Viewer also has a highlight tool.
In Ubuntu 16.04 and later, the icon for adding an annotation or highlighting looks like a spiral bound notepad. Clicking this icon reveals two other icons in the toolbar below it, one of which is the highlighting icon. The highlighting icon looks like a piece of paper with three black blocks on it, marked by a yellow diagonal arrow in the below screenshot.
Click on the spot in the document window you would like to add the highlight to, and drag the mouse to highlight it.
Select the File -> Save a Copy button to save the highlighting.
Changing text and background colors is not supported in Document Viewer except for View -> Inverted Colors.
