When I select text to annotate in pdf tools, the text selection is not transparent. For pdf's that are created digitally this is fine, but for pdf's that are scanned and OCR'd with tesseract, the selected text become hidden behind the selection (see images). Is there a way to change this behavior without re-OCRing the pdf with something like adobe acrobat? Is it possible to have transparent text selection in pdf-tools?
What selected text looks like in a pdf generated from a website:

OCR text can still be copied and pasted and looks fine when markup is applied.
