Steps to reproduce

1. Open a PDF with multiple pages.
2. Highlight different words.
3. Add a Drawing.
4. Add Text to the PDF.
5. Add images to PDF.
6. Hit CTRL + A on the keyboard.
7. Click the Delete button from a Highlighted word.

Expected result

• Since each Highlight has their own delete button, users might think it will only delete that highlighted word.
• We could allow the users to individually delete each Highlight individually while they are all being selected and have a separate button for Delete all Highlights, Drawings, added Images.
• We could also limit Ctrl + A to the Selected Tool, if the Highlights tool is enabled we would only select all Highlights with Ctrl + A.
• Disabling the Highlight Tool and then Hitting Ctrl + A we would Select everything from Added text, Drawings, Added images as well as Highlights.

Actual result

• Ctrl + A will select everything and when the user tries to delete a single Highlight while they are all selected, everything will be deleted, Including images, drawings, Added text and created Highlights.
