Comment on a PDF

Welcome to this tutorial on commenting and reviewing PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat. Whether you’re collaborating with a team or proofreading a document, Acrobat’s commenting tools make it simple to provide clear and actionable feedback. When invited to a shared review, you receive an email with a link. Simply select the link to open the PDF in your web browser. You don’t need to sign in, but signing in identifies you by name instead of as a guess, allowing you to use at mention tags, edit, and delete comments at any time. This icon right here at the top identifies this PDF as being part of a shared review. First, let’s explore the commenting tools available in the browser. These include sticky notes, text comments, highlights, and drawing tools, which allow you to add feedback directly to the document. There are actually two ways to add comments. You can use the quick tools toolbar here by selecting the comment and placing it anywhere on the page. I’ll choose add comments, which resembles a sticky note. To make your feedback really stand out, you can change the color. In the right-hand pane, simply type your feedback. It’s that easy. The second way to add comments is by selecting an item on the page, like this text, and using the floating toolbar that appears. The available comments in the floating toolbar depend on your selection, such as text or graphics. For text, you can select it and choose the comment type, or in my case, I’m going to select the delete key to initiate a strikethrough comment. To comment on a graphic, use the draw freehand tool that appears when you select the graphic in the floating toolbar. You can also add a note to your comment for additional context. Acrobat also lets you add emojis and mentions to comments in shared PDFs. To do this, simply select the emoji icon next to the comment, and choose your reaction. You can use the add mention to bring someone into the conversation as well. Use the filter icon in the comments panel to organize your feedback. You can sort comments by author, mentions, status, date, or type. Now if you’re on the go, use the Acrobat Reader mobile app to add comments. You can add sticky notes, text comments, and use the drawing tools. Or you can use the speech to text icon to assist in making comments. I’ll reply to this comment and use the microphone to say, I’ll get the changes to you tomorrow. And that’s it for today’s tutorial. By using Acrobat’s commenting tools, you can streamline your review process and ensure clear communication with your team.
