How to Add Comments in PDF

Comments are a very handy and powerful annotation tool. For instance, you can use them when you edit a PDF document with your colleagues.

To add a comment, click the Arrow icon in the main toolbar. The comment toolbar will appear under the editing tools. Select the comment 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 select OK. To change the comment’s color, click on the color square and choose the color from the drop-down. Use the slider to change the comment’s thickness.

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

Happy with PDFfiller! PDFfiller makes the documents that individuals within my company need to use frequently, more readily available, an improved option to frequently having to make copies before working with clients. I really appreciate the functionality and ease of use for the product. The fact that it is possible to create a fillable PDF, to be used by multiple people or times. Uploading documents is extremely easy and the layout on the website makes all features easy to find. My absolute favorite thing is that you can sign things by singing from your phone, or saving a signature that you already have saved. My only frustration is that if you download a fillable PDF, even when saving it will a different name, you can't print it with the content. I have found that I have to import the document and then print directly from the website, yet when uploaded the document makes the typed font smaller. Another tricky thing is that if you want to create a fillable PDF you must meticulously go through the document to check and highlight anything that you want to be able to fill information.

What do you like best? The features and tools of PDF filler editor are really perfect. I can describe it as a strongest online PDF editor in comparison with another services. With this service you dont need any expensive PDF editor softwares like Adobe Acrobat on your own system. What do you dislike? Some fonts and non-Latin languages not supported. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have used it for filling official forms and I am satisfied.
