The flashing highlight makes selected items easier to see in the Acrobat window when many items are selected.

To find a selected item:

• In the Mac OS, click and hold the items' icon in the Properties Editor.
• In Windows, click and hold the left mouse button on the items' icon in the Properties Editor.

The selected item or items flash with the highlight color you specified in the Adobe Acrobat Preferences menu.
Tip: Using this flashing highlight feature is also helpful for highlighting a group of items that have the same characteristics, to check which of the selected items the Apply button in the Properties Editor will affect.
