I converted a PDF file using K2PDFOPT to use it in my Kindle Paperwhite.

But now I can not highlight the text in this file while reading it in my Kindle.

Can you tell me why?

An updated answer from the k2pdfopt FAQ is below (I just updated it--I highlighted the key part of it here). If you can't get this feature to work, a sample of your source PDF would help. See also the k2pdfopt native output help page and OCR help page.

Is there any way to search / highlight the text in the converted PDF file?

Yes, as of v1.50, k2pdfopt has OCR capability, and as of v1.60, k2pdfopt has options for native PDF output, much like Cut2Col, SoPDF, and the latest version of PaperCrop. In fact, as of v2.00, if the text in your source PDF document can be searched or highlighted, the default output from k2pdfopt should have the same functionality using the new virtual OCR feature (see "major new features" under v2.00 in the version history for more details). Note that PDF highlighting is not possible on some e-readers, such as early Kindles (Kindle 1/2).
