Commenting in
a PDF Document
Acrobat 9 lets you add a wide variety of comments to PDF documents and
then share the comments with your workgroup. Unlike manual paper-
based commenting, Acrobat’s tools include many types of text comment
and edit tools; you can attach other documents and sound les to a docu-
ment, add a comment to a specic frame of an animation or movie, and
even integrate your comments directly into their source documents in
some programs.
The goal of the techniques in this chapter is to help simplify your
workload—with so many tools at your disposal, it’s important to under
-
stand the reasons why you choose one type of tool over another, and
how you can maximize your ecient use of the tools. You also see how
to manage comments; review workows and routing featuring the
all-new acrobat.com site is the theme of Chapter 11, “Live Reviewing
and Collaboration.”
You can access all the commenting types and Comment tools by choos-
ing Comments > Comment & Markup Tools and selecting a tool from the
main program menu. Or, take a shortcut—right-click/Control-click the
vertical bars at the left of the toolbar to open a shortcut menu. You can
choose individual tools, or click Show All Tools to display the full set of
tools. Throughout these techniques, I have referred to working from the
Comment & Markup toolbar.
You can read about specic types of comments in other chapters.
Learn about using a clipboard image as a stamp in #23, “Creating a PDF
from a Clipboard Image,” or attaching les as comments in #24, “Attaching
Source Files to a PDF.” Discover how to insert comments into multi-
media content (Flash or 3D) in #102, “Inserting Multimedia Comments,”
and how to use commenting in geospatial maps in #109, “Commenting
and Measuring on a PDF Map.”
