Comment, annotate & highlight PDF



One of the biggest advantages of working with PDF is having the ability to add comments in natural and familiar ways. All comments you add are 'non destructive,' so if required you can easily remove them from the document without affecting the contents' fidelity.

When reviewing PDF files you are not limited to collaborating with just Nitro PDF Professional users — your comments look and work the same in Adobe® Acrobat® and Adobe Reader®, meaning you can view comments from Acrobat and Reader users, and they can view yours.

Commenting tools

In Nitro PDF Professional, comments can be added as sticky notes, text highlighting, text boxes, call outs, drawing markups, stamps, and file attachments, and most types of annotations include a pop-up note in which you can add a text message. For example, when you have marked text with the Highlight Text tool and need to explain why, simply open its pop-up note and enter your feedback.

Commenting tools in Nitro PDF Professional

Adjust Appearance

Add Pop-up Feedback & Replies

Sticky notes
Add notes anywhere on your pages to leave your comments there. The sticky notes float above the page, can be moved around and closed to they don't get in the way of reading.
Highlight text
The text highlighting tools enable you edit the text copy in PDF files the same way you do on paper. The three different pen-like tools let you highlight, underline and cross out text, and add text feedback to each of the markups you add.
Text boxes and call outs
The text boxes and call outs let you add text that appears as page level content (pop-up notes appear to hover above page content). The appearance can be customized, including the level of opacity, so you can see the page content beneath the annotation. The call out, has an arrow attached to the edge of the annotation which can be moved around to point to a specific point of discussion on the page.
Drawing shapes
The pre-defined set of shapes (line, arrow, rectangle, oval, polygon, polygon line and cloud) let you quickly add standard drawings and shapes to any area of the page.
Freehand pencil
The Pencil and Eraser tools give you extra flexibility by allowing you to draw any kind of shape onto the page.
Stamps
Use the default annotation stamps to add highly visible graphics to the page, including.'Draft,' 'Final,' and 'Approved', or create your custom stamps with your own graphics.
Attach files
Just like attaching a paper file to another with a paperclip, you can attach and embed any type of electronic file inside your PDF files. Users who open your PDF files can save and open the attached files on their computer.
