Highlighting in the native PDF viewer

I would really like a feature where I can highlight content within PDFs like in Edge. It's really helpful because I usually store PDFs temporarily, and it doesn't make enough sense to download each and every PDF I have to work with. The 'draw' tool isn't particularly helpful when you're working on a Mac 24/7 with no other devices except an iPhone. I've attempted using Yawas, but it doesn't work in the native PDF viewer because it isn't a website!
