Turn off Brown Help Box at top of screen when highlight feature is in use.

need a way to turn off this feature (brown help box) that lets you know the highlight is in use. toggling between different documents or screens, it moves every time you move documents. It is very distracting and moves your page.

I think the banner you mention is related to the status bar. You can try to press F8 or go to Tools > Toolbars > Status Bar and see if that toggles it off.

Tried that - it toggles off the other status bar that has "helpful" tips, but the brown one at the top is new to the last 2ish versions.

Hi Emilee! Can you let me know which version you are running? (you can check this by going to Revu→about)

also are you in the beta program?

Thanks for sharing! We did a little bit of testing and were able to recreate.

This could be a bug that we will flag to product. I wanted to flag a few alternatives for you-

if you want to hyperlink on a particular markup - you can right click and select "Edit Action" which brings up the same dialogue box than the hyperlink does (Without the brown box)
If you hyperlink a lot - I recommend using batch link (Creating Navigational Hyperlinks Within a Group of PDFs (Batch Link) which can help create those links faster and without that brown box!

Also- the brown box isn't saying that the highlight is in use. The only way I was able to recreate is by selecting - tools→hyperlink - it still let me create the hyperlinks without any highlight. so for now- disregard the brown box (because it doesn't seem to actually serve a purpose) which is why I think it's a bug!
