Add Comments In a PDF Document Online

Markups are a very handy and powerful annotation tool. You can use them, for instance, when you edit a PDF document together with your colleagues.

To insert a markup, choose the Arrow icon in the main toolbar. The markup toolbar will appear under the editing tools. Select the markup you need, then click anywhere to create the start point and drag to where you want to create the end point, release the mouse button and press OK. To change the markup’s color, click on the color square and choose the color from the drop-down. Use the slider to change the markup’s thickness.

To reverse a markup, select it and select the icon of the markup with the opposite direction. To convert a simple markup into a two-headed markup, click the icon of the two-headed markup. To change position of the start or end point, just drag it. To delete the markup, click the trash can icon above it.

The only reason my rating isn't a perfect 5 Stars is regarding getting an a document notarized online. Your website says it will be at no cost. But when linked to the vendor notary person, she said the cost is $25. When I contacted your company a couple of times, it was indicated someone would get back to me w/ answer. But that never happened.
