Will,
I got it to work with a "text" based pdf, but not a scanned pdf.
That's a shame. A lot of pdfs in the legal world are scanned and all the ones I'm working with are from that environment, so most are scanned. :(
I guess that the scanned (but not OCRed) PDFs just consist of a lot of images, so what you would want rather than a highlighter that says 'In future render this block of text with a yellow background', one that says 'Draw a 50% transparent yellow rectangle at these coordinates' which happen to be above the image corresponding to some scanned text. Since Okular can draw arbitrary scribbles, I don't think that adding this feature would be very hard.
