Highlight / Markup features in Windows 8.1 to help at my job

Question

I work in pharmaceutical regulatory affairs and just purchased a Thinkpad Yoga running Windows 8.1; my first touch screen device that is larger than a smart phone. The pen / stylus is aweseome. The features I would like in a PDF reader are as follows:
- highlighting, and ability to automatically copy those highlights into a note
- marking up a PDF
I bought this computer so I could take notes during presentations when PDFs are provided beforehand. I want to be able to highlight important content and mark it up using the stylus.
I currently use Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 to read public regulatory documents. For documents, I only highlight, not markup. I highlight in Acrobat 9 and have the Preferences set to automatically copy it to a note. Then I have Javascript that exports the notes to a text file. When I finish reading, I copy the text file contents to Evernote and add the highlighted PDF file as an attachment. So if I'm searching, I can find the important text without having to open the PDF.
Because I have so much to read, I often send the PDF files to my Kindle. In that case, I highlight in Kindle. Then when I finish, I open up the PDF in Acrobat 9 on my computer, and re-highlight each section and then do what I did above. Similarly, if I read it using the Acrobat on my Android phone, I just go back later which is extra time. I've also tried Skitch for Android with Evernote and then likewise, go back later and highlight the PDF in Acrobat. Skitch for Windows doesn't allow marking up of PDF yet. I've tried ezPDF and Foxit, and given them feedback, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to export highlighted text. I have not explored PDF Touch which I think costs.
I would love for these features to be available so I don't have to go back to my Windows 7 computer to make up for deficiencies in the Windows 8 one to highlight text, export that text, and mark up PDF documents that I read, and presentations that I attend.

Answer 1

This week l am at a conference and  Since slides were provided, I got to try all my PDF tools and identify which was best. It ended up being the Windows 8.1 Reader.
First I tried the Acrobat XI trial. While document exporting of highlighted test was great, marking up the PDF using my stylus was severely lacking.  I could not write letters and have it see anything. The Reader was great for capturing my notes on the slides. The only negative aspects were no Undo, and no way to change pen colors.  When speakers old not provide slides, fused One Note which was the BEST at  capturing, my handwriting. And it could change colors and Undo. However, you can't insert slides into One Note and have it come out with the correct orientation.  I'm really glad I tried out Aerobat XI. l really liked the comment exporting but due to inability to use the poncho properly handwrite, I will pass on buying and stuck to my Acrobat 9.0 on my other computer. I really hope Acrobat  will improve sensing digital pens and I will be ready to buy.
