I'm wondering on how to mark in the pdf file and save it as a pdf.

For example page 2 of this pdf file, we have marking in blue. I need to know how it has been done.

It depends on the software you use. Foxit reader allows you do that via "Comments -> Drawing.."

It has a bunch of other capabilites via the comments, quoting Foxit website:

A comment is a written note intended as an explanation, an illustration, or a statement of fact or opinion, especially a remark that expresses a personal reaction or attitude. You can type a text message or add a line, circle, or other shape to make comments on PDF files you are reading with Foxit Reader commenting tools. Most types of comments contain a pop-up window displaying your name; date and time you created the comments, and a text message. You can also edit, reply, delete, and move the comments with ease. This function is quite helpful to your studies and work if you have to make some notes on PDF documents. Foxit Reader has the following commenting tools; Annotation, Note Comments, Spell Checker, Text Markup, Text Select Tool, Drawing Markup, Typewriter Tool, Adding Text Box or Callout and viewing comments.

Since the question does not specify a specific platform to run the software, I'll suggest some iPad apps. The iPad seems to be the logical interface for this kind of handwritten annotation.

Here are some:

GoodNotes

PDF Expert

UPAD

Notability
