Annotate PDF: what to know
Annotating adds a layer of feedback to a PDF: highlights, drawings, notes and shapes help a reader find what needs attention. It is useful for reviewing a draft without rewriting its original wording.
Use a consistent color for each type of feedback and keep notes beside the passage they explain. Download a copy and reopen it before sharing, especially if the recipient uses a different PDF reader.
Popular uses
- Mark passages for revision
- Draw attention to a diagram
- Add notes to meeting handouts
Tips for the best result
- A highlight is not redaction and does not conceal sensitive text.
- Keep the unannotated original if you need a clean copy later.
