comment markups and form fields. The Article tool is used to create article threads, the Crop, Link, 3D,

Movie, and Sound tools follow. The TouchUp Text tool is used to edit text on a page and the last tool is the

TouchUp Object tool that is used to select content that was originally created in an authoring program and

converted to PDF.

For more information about PDF editing using the Advanced Editing tools, see the chapters in

Part III. To learn more about the Link tool, see Chapter 22. For using the Movie and Sound

tools see Chapter 23. To learn how to use the TouchUp Order tool that follows the TouchUp Text tool, see

Chapter 25.

FIGURE 1.26

The Advanced Editing toolbar contains a miscellaneous group of tools used for many different editing functions.

Comment & Markup toolbar

When you open either the View ➪ Toolbars submenu menus or a context menu on the Toolbar Well, the

first menu option after the default Advanced Editing toolbar is the Comment & Markup toolbar. Select the

menu option and the Comment and Markup tools open in their own toolbar. Open a context menu on the

toolbar and select Add/Remove Tools ➪ Show All Tools. The toolbar appears as you see in Figure 1.27

when all tools are loaded.

FIGURE 1.27

Open the Comment & Markup toolbar and open a context menu on a tool and select Show All Tools to see all the

comment and markup tools.

Now in Acrobat 8 you have the opportunity to load just the tools you want to use in a review

session from both the former Commenting and the Drawing & Markup toolbars. Acrobat 8

nests all these tools together nicely in a single toolbar. This arrangement affords you the opportunity to view

just those tools you commonly use in a review session — a great new feature. I won’t go into all the tool

names and explain their use now. You’ll find a complete description in Chapter 20.

When you select the Comment & Markup tools from the More Tools window and check the

boxes for all tools, all the tools are loaded

except

the Paste a copied image as stamp tool. To

show the tool in the Comment & Markup toolbar, open the Comment & Markup toolbar and open a context

menu on any tool in the toolbar. Select Show All Tools and the Paste a copied image as stamp tool is added to

the toolbar.

Edit toolbar

The Edit toolbar is the home of a miscellaneous group of editing tools, such as spell checking, copy, paste,

undo, and redo. (See Figure 1.28.)
