 Adding annotations

An annotation is a note or comment added to a PDF document. You can add annotations using the document viewer.

When you open a file, you should have a side pane on the left side of the window. If you do not have a visible side pane, click the Side pane button in the top-left corner, or press the F9 key on the keyboard.

At the bottom of the side pane, the buttons Thumbnails, Outline, Annotations and Bookmarks let you choose what to display in the side pane. (Some options may not be available for some documents).

To create an annotation:

Select the Annotate the document button from the header bar:

You should now see Note text and Highlight text buttons below the header bar.

Click on the first button to add a text annotation.

Click on the spot in the document window you would like to add the annotation to. Your annotation window will open.

Type your text into the annotation window.

You can resize the note by clicking and holding the left mouse button on one of the bottom corners of the note, and moving it around.

Close the note by clicking on the x in the top corner of the note.
