pop-up note for your text message. You can add a sticky note anywhere on the page or in the document area.

Use the Sticky Note tool to add a text message in a pop-up note.

Mark up text with edits

Note: In Reader, complete commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review

workflow typically include commenting rights.

You can use text edit comments in a PDF to indicate where text should be edited in the source file. Text edit comments

do not change the actual text in the PDF. Instead, they indicate which text should be deleted, inserted, or replaced in

the source file from which the PDF was created.
