Mark up this draft plan with inline comments and callouts so colleagues know where I want changes to the monitoring sc…
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 colors the background of selected text, making it stand out like with a marker. Underlining draws a line beneath the text. Both are used to emphasize important parts, but highlighting is often for key information, while underlining can indicate emphasis or a link. You choose based on how you want to visually mark the text.
Comments are often stored as a separate layer on top of the PDF content. If the recipient's PDF viewer doesn't support displaying this layer, or if the file was 'flattened' before sending, the comments might not be visible. To ensure comments are seen, either make sure the recipient uses a compatible viewer or 'print to PDF' which often flattens comments into the document, making them permanent. Always check your sharing settings.
To draw a circle around a picture in your PDF, you should use one of the 'drawing markup' tools. Look for options like 'oval' or 'circle' within the comment tools. This lets you draw shapes directly on the document to highlight specific areas, such as an image.
Reaction emojis are small picture icons you can use to quickly show your feelings about a comment or part of a document in a shared review. Instead of typing a full reply, you can click an emoji like a 'thumbs up' or 'heart' to agree or show support. They make reviewing faster and more interactive, especially when many people are looking at the same document.
