Open Adobe Reader and load your PDF.<br \/>\n2. Click on the &#8216;Comment&#8217; option located at the right-hand side of the toolbar.<br \/>\n3. Select either &#8216;Highlight Text&#8217;, &#8216;Underline Text&#8217;, &#8216;Draw Rectangle&#8217; (useful for circling), or &#8216;Strikethrough Text&#8217; tool.<br \/>\n4. Use the tool to highlight, underline, circle, or strikethrough the text.<br \/>\n5. A popup window will appear once you&#8217;re finished, allowing you to add additional text to the annotation if desired.<br \/>\n6.

Open the document in Adobe Reader.<br \/>\n2. Go to Tools > Comment > Drawing Markups<br \/>\n3. Use the Select tools to select specific objects or areas in your document (similar to using the lasso tool in an imaging editing software)<br \/>\n4.

PDF is read-only: If the PDF you received is read-only, check if the software you&#8217;re using is suitable for reading and editing PDFs. Some free software can be limited.<br \/>\n2. Wrong PDF format: If you&#8217;re using Adobe Acrobat Reader but still can&#8217;t annotate your PDF, it&#8217;s possible that the format is not supported. Check if the file is compatible with Adobe Acrobat Reader.<br \/>\n3. Outdated Adobe Reader version: If your Adobe Acrobat Reader is outdated, try updating it to the latest version.<br \/>\n4. PDF is scanned or image-based: Scanned or image-based PDFs cannot be edited, including annotation. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Implications_and_Recommendations\"><\/span>Implications and Recommendations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Annotating PDFs helps to increase productivity. By providing feedback, highlighting important passages, and making notes, you can easily retrieve the information at any time. One recommendation is to use a PDF editor or create a separate document to see all the PDF annotations together. Collaborating on PDF files can also be challenging; it is recommended that you share comments and annotations together via email or cloud-sharing services. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_FAQs_About_Annotating_PDFs_in_Adobe_Reader\"><\/span>5 FAQs About Annotating PDFs in Adobe Reader:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h4>Q1: Can I extract annotations from PDFs in Adobe Reader?<\/h4>\n<p>A: Yes, you can extract comments and annotations made in Adobe Reader to a summary file by going to the &#8216;File&#8217; menu, followed by &#8216;Save As,&#8217; and then selecting &#8216;Comments Summary.&#8217; <\/p>\n<h4>Q2: How to merge PDFs with annotations?<\/h4>\n<p>A: To merge PDFs with annotations, use the menu &#8216;Tools>Comment>Summarize Comments,&#8217; save this summary, and then merge it with other documents using a separate pdf editor program.<\/p>\n<h4>Q3: Can I share edited PDFs with other apps that don&#8217;t support Adobe Reader?<\/h4>\n<p>A: Yes, you can save edited PDFs using Adobe Acrobat Reader to a portable PDF format (known as a PDF\/X format) that is supported by most apps.<\/p>\n<h4>Q4: How to password-protect my annotations in Adobe Reader?<\/h4>\n<p>A: You can protect the PDF file with a password to prevent unauthorized access to annotations.
