Acrobat has a preference (Preferences --> Commenting) where the highlighted text is copied in to the comment box. This applies for the Highlight tool, the Underline tool and the Strikethrough tool. Another setting copies the encircled text in drawing comments popups.Hope this can help.

If you're already made some highlights and you want to copy the underlying text into them, you can use this tool:
