I read many documents for work. I would like to use an Apple Pencil to take notes or highlight a document and then use my finger to turn the page. My understanding is that that’s not currently possible with iPad OS. This is so surprising to me because I want to use the pencil identically to how someone would use a pen or pencil on paper.
Hi zxcvbnmnbvcxz,
Depending on the app you're using you may be able to change the behavior of the Apple Pencil. For example with Pages you can do the following.
"Select and Scroll with Apple Pencil
By default, you can use Apple Pencil to start drawing or annotating. You can set Pages to use your Apple Pencil to select objects and scroll in your documents instead:
.If your Apple Pencil supports it, you can turn on Double-Tap to Switch. With Double-Tap to Switch, just double-tap the lower part of Apple Pencil to turn Select and Scroll on and off.
To add a drawing or annotation to a document when Select and Scroll is turned on, tap the Insert button 
, tap the Media button 
, tap Drawing, then tap a drawing or annotation tool in the toolbar. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote each have their own setting for Select and Scroll. For example, if you turn on Select and Scroll in Pages, it doesn't affect Keynote or Numbers."
You can find this information and more here: Draw, annotate, and use Scribble in Pages
If highlighting a PDF or using the Books app on your iPad changing the pagination feature may help. Read books in the Books app on iPad The section "Change text and display appearance" had the details.
There's also a third-party app that may assist. You can find information here: How to Mark Up a PDF on the iPad
Cheers!
