Unable to Remove Highlighting in Emailed Document Received

I have a document that was emailed to us that has various pages w/highlighted text. Is there a way to remove this highlighting? I've tried to do it through PRINTING the document ("Comments & Forms" & changing to "document" mode), and changing the highlight color to white but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions as I am fairly new to Acrobat? I have no idea how the document was highlighted on the other end either. Please advise - thank you! :)

Can you select a specific comment? If so, can you delete it?
If the answer to the first question is no, then the document was probably flattened, which means you can't remove the highlights anymore.
If you would post the file somewhere, we could give you a more definite answer.
