I actually found someone interested enough in having me research the history of gun regulation in early America to pay me.  (Obviously, not any of the gun rights organizations.)  The deliverables are supposed to be copies of the early laws with the text in question highlighted.  To me, that means putting a light yellow rectangle over the text.  But what application under Windows would you use for that?  Microsoft Paint is only well suited to opaque rectangles (as near as I can tell).  OpenOffice Draw does not seem to be very cooperative either.  Ideally, this would be a solution that I can use to modify both JPGs and PDFs.  Suggestions?

I can draw a rectangle around a section of text, but something that looks more like a yellow highlighter over the text would be preferable.  And whats the solution for PDFs?  Buy the latest version of Adobe Acrobat?

UPDATE: As usual, my very intelligent readers made a number of very useful comments.  I am using the comment about getting OpenOffice Draw to do the job -- and it works great!
