That is a nice function of Preview indeed. On the other hand, at least since a couple of releases, I have lots of troubles with the highlight annotation in Preview, especially in PDFs with tables. So much so that I have to resort to 3rd party software for that (PDF Expert in my case). But yeah, PDF support is basically native in macOS since Mac OS X.
