I used to use Good Reader on my iPad to markup modules before printing. I do LOTS of highlighting, crossing out, notes, etc. It's why I had a full size screen instead of a mini. Now I have an Android (Samsung) and looking for a PDF editor for Markups. Thought I had one with Adobe Reader, but got a "Protected Document" error. I never had that on iPad, but its also been a long time since cracking open a new PDF module.Is this a new thing where I won't be able to highlight anymore because of security? Or is it an Adobe thing and a different PDF editor will let me highlight? Thanks for any tips.

The document security could have been done at the PDF source, meaning the company or creator added the security during its creation

I frequently use Adobe to highlight and add to my PDFs. I haven't tried it on an Android though so I don't know how that affects things.

I've never had a problem with highlighting Paizo PDFs in Windows using both Acrobat and Foxit.

On Android, Readera can highlight. I believe you can make notes, but I don't think you can markup the document itself.
