Open your PDF file in Adobe Acrobat.
Click the Comment button in the toolbar to display the commenting tools.
Select the annotation tool you want to use, such as Note, Highlight, Text Box, or Draw.
Click on the PDF page where you want to add your comment or annotation.
Type your comment or draw your annotation as needed.
Click away from the annotation or press Escape to save your comment or annotation.
You can use multiple annotation types in one session, such as highlighting text and adding sticky notes for detailed feedback.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
Highlighting text simply changes the background color of selected text, making it stand out. It's good for marking important parts quickly. Adding a text box comment creates a new box where you can type longer explanations or questions, separate from the main document text. You would use highlighting for emphasis and text boxes for detailed notes.
Sanitizing comments removes all review notes and markups from your PDF. This is important because comments are usually meant for internal review and might contain private thoughts or unfinished ideas. If you share a 'final' document without sanitizing, these notes could be seen by others, which might be unprofessional or confusing. Sanitizing ensures your document is clean and ready for public release.
No, if you draw a circle using the drawing markup tools, it will not automatically become a permanent part of the image. It will be an annotation layer on top of your PDF. To make it permanent, you would need to 'flatten' the PDF or save it in a way that merges all layers. Otherwise, it can be edited or removed later.
Reaction emojis are quick visual icons like a thumbs-up or a smiley face that you can add to specific parts of a document during a shared review. They let you give fast, simple feedback without typing a full comment. This helps other reviewers quickly understand your feelings or agreement on certain sections, making the review process faster and more interactive.
