Thanks a lot Dulin
From what you are saying I understand that in fact it is possible not to leave the PDF after highlighting text
Now make your selection by Highlighting the line etc that you want.
Select Menu
Select Tools
Select Copy
After this I would prefer to paste the text in a note attached to the highlight.
Is this possible?
With this I am trying to determine if it is possible to emulate/mimic the functionality that many PDF readers have on the desktop, that is, when you highlight text you can choose that text to be automatically copied in a note.
On the desktop I export the notes form PDF files
With M90, if the above work, you already have your text in an SQLLite database and you can easily get that info in a text file or anything else.
Can you please confirm if the above sequence is possible?
Thanks for your patience :-)

Highlight a selection with the pen. When you lift the pen the "notes" box pops up with the keyboard. Type or write(using handwriting recognition that turns it into typed text) what you want to say/remember about this selection.
The highlight remains when done. Anywhere in the text if you open the menu, select annotations and then all annotations, you can see a list of the notes you made and on what page the highlight appears. You can select them to jump to that page.
If you don't make any remarks about the highlight/annotation it will still appear in the "All Annotations" list with the page number and you will be able to jump to it. These highlights are stored in the database/.SKETCH file. basically the size of the highlight is stored and the .SKETCH includes location information for where it should be. If you did make remarks they are also stored in the .SKETCH file
To make Notes
From the PDF
Select Menu
Select Tools
Select Mark
Now make your selection by Highlighting the line etc that you want.
Select Menu
Select Tools
Select Copy
Exit the PDF. Go to the main menu.
Select Notes
Select Create Note
Select Menu
Select Tools
Select Paste
Now you can type or write as above to makes notes about your selection.
Select Menu
Select Tools
Select Save
If you try to close it you will be asked to save it and give it a title. This is now saved as a .txt file in the "text editor" folder
