Good Day David

Thanks for sharing the code. Its a good one. I would like to use it for PDF-XChange Viewer (not editor). Its turns out that first its need to highlight the text using default highlight and then select it and change the color. The code sometimes run with no result. To avoid that i put a little delay between the two click mark as follows;
Click, 42, 118
sleep, 100 ;(wait 0.1 seconds)
Click, 22, 215 ; Click on Pink Color
So far so good.
Not sure how you able to run the code using just g:: or b:: hotkey.
It would be nicer if the code allow just as you write (select text and press g or b to make it desire color). But I am nevertheless I am happy with the result so far.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks.

You might want to save the mouse position and then return to it.
MouseGetPos,X,Y
MouseMove, (X),(Y)

I tried using this script in AutoHotKey but didnt work in the most recent version of PDF XCHANGE EDITOR.

it is suposed to be like that?
Sorry, I basically dont have knowledge on how to use scripts correctly.

You don't need any script for this anymore.

You can simply assign custom keystrokes to different highlighter colors (i.e. styles) in PDF-XChange Editor. There are howto's in their forum about it.

For years I've been using adobe acrobat. I just started using PDF-XChange Editor yesterday, but already noticed that is something in another level. At least for the things im looking for in a pdf reader
