If a phrase, sentence, word, and/or character is highlighted, NVDA
should be able to:

  1. setting, which will automatically announce via TTS or different
    sounds the presence or change in highlight and no-highlight
  2. when cursor is positioned on highlighted text, NVDA+F should report
    that text is highlighted.

Please provide a sample pdf and information on what text is highlighted. I don't think Reader communicates this information to screen readers, in which case we'll need to report this to Adobe.

The highlighted text is in the paragraph that begins with “The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of waves that ranges…”  The following is highlighted:  “a continuum of waves that ranges from short, high-energy X-rays and gamma rays to long, low-energy radio waves.”

Reader has a PDDOM_FONTATTR_LIGHT flag which can be exposed from font info. I'm guessing this is for highlighting. However, it isn't exposed for the piece of text you mention.

Are you certain this document exposes highlight correctly, etc.?
