Chapter 7 – Comment
Foxit PDF Editor provides you with various commenting tools to add comments in PDF
documents. Comments can be notes or drawings that are intended as an opinion, an
explanation, an illustration, or a statement of fact or opinion, especially a remark that
expresses a personal reaction or attitude. You can type a text message or add a line,
circle, or other shape to make comments on PDFs you are reading with Foxit PDF
Editor commenting commands. You can also edit, reply, delete, and move the
comments with ease.
Commenting tools
There are various annotation tools with different functions for you to choose: Text
Markup Tools, Pin Tools, Typewriter Tools, Drawing Tools, Measure Tools and Stamp
Tools. You can add different comments by selecting the annotation tools from the
Comments tab or Toolbar. See also the tutorial on Commenting Tools.
Note: If you want to add multiple comments without reselecting the same tool, you can
check Keep Tool Selected in the Comment tab.
Text Markup Tools
You can use Text Markup tools to indicate where text should be edited or noticed. Text
Markups fall within the comments category and can be made visible/invisible by
clicking Comment > Manage Comments > Comments > Show All/ Hide All. They do
not change the actual text in the PDF. Instead, they indicate which text should be
deleted, inserted, highlighted or underlined. Text Markup tools include Highlight,
Squiggly, Underline, Strikeout, Replace, and Insert.
