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.
Adding a comment, like a sticky note or text box, lets you write longer notes or questions in a separate box. Marking up text, like highlighting or underlining, directly changes how the text looks on the page. Both are used for review, but comments are for longer thoughts, while markups draw attention to specific words or sentences.
Comments are a separate layer on top of your PDF. If the person opening the PDF uses a different viewer or an older version of Acrobat, they might not see the comment layer. Also, if you 'flatten' or 'sanitize' the PDF before sending, the comments are removed. Always save your PDF with comments and tell the receiver to open it in Acrobat to ensure they see all your notes.
