This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
Highlighting text simply marks a section of text with color, drawing attention to it directly. It's good for showing important parts or errors in words. A text box comment, however, lets you type a longer explanation or question next to a specific area. This is useful when you need to provide more detail than a simple highlight can convey, making your feedback clearer for the reviewer. Both are useful for different types of feedback.
You should sanitize your PDF document to remove all hidden data, including comments, annotations, and other review notes. This is important because comments are a separate layer and remain recoverable. If you don't sanitize, your private review notes or unfinished thoughts might accidentally be seen by others when you share the 'final' file. Sanitizing ensures only the intended content is shared, protecting your privacy and preventing information leaks. It's a crucial step for professional document sharing.
If you want to draw a circle around an image to point out a defect, you should use the 'Drawing Markup' tools in Adobe Acrobat. These tools let you add shapes like circles, arrows, or lines directly onto the document. This is very helpful for visually highlighting specific areas or elements that need attention, making it clear what part of the image has a defect.
Reaction emojis are small picture icons you can use to quickly show your feelings or agreement on comments in a shared review. Instead of typing a full reply, you can just click an emoji like a thumbs-up or a smiley face. They make feedback faster and more informal when many people are reviewing a document together.
