  1. The default Document Viewer application (evince) in Ubuntu has true full screen mode. Y
    ( View -> Presentation )



  2. Document Viewer also has a highlight tool. Y



    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.



    IMG:



    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.



  3. Changing text and background colors is not supported in Document Viewer except for View -> Inverted Colors.
