I have the pdf version of PMI reference documents, and the paper version of many.

In the pdf version most are not highlightable, the PMBOK is the exception.

The pdf version is more practical to carry, you have all of the books you need in your portable or tablet.

The problem is often I have highlight the paper version and would like to do the same in the electronic version, but since they are protected from print, highlight and more it is not possible. Except for the PMBOk.

Do other have the same problem?

Hi Vincent,

At this time PMI PDF resources are set up to be read only, which prohibits the highlighting feature. I have passed your question to our publications department for consideration in the future.

PDF Max by Mobeera (Android and iOS) can highlight PMBOK6 and Agile PG. It's a separate feature apart from standard PDF annotation restrictions, I think.

Hi Shannon,

Original posting was on other PMI publications vs the PMBOKrev5.
I can believe some tools will let you do highlight, is PMI pushing people on using other tools to work with the pdf version.
Now that rev6 is out it is set to "Not Allowed"
