Add notes to PDF

Notes in Nitro PDF Professional work just like the sticky notes you put on paper documents. They're the quickest and easiest kind of comment to your PDF documents and work well because they instantly stand out. (See the annotate & markup PDF feature overview for related information.)

To add a note to a PDF document:

  1. Select the Note tool  from the toolbar.
  2. On the page, left-click to place the note.
  3. In the pop-up note, enter your text message.

To update the appearance or properties of a comment:

  1. Right-click the annotation and select Properties.
  2. Modify the color, opacity, etc.
  3. Close the Comment Properties window.

Tip: You can change the default properties of your comments by right clicking on a note and choosing the Set Properties as Default option.

To open the Comments panel and view all comments, do one of the following:

  • Select the Show/Hide Document panel  toolbar button, then the Comments panel  button.
  • Choose View > Document panel > Comments.
  • Use the F6 shortcut key, followed by the Comments panel  button.
