Last updated 1/14/2015
Record an audio comment
1 Choose Comment > Annotations > Record Audio and then click in the PDF where you want to place the audio
comment.
2 In the dialog box that appears, click the Record button and then speak into the microphone. When you’ve
finished recording, click the Stop button , and then click OK.
3 Specify options in the Properties dialog box, and then click OK.
Add comments in a file attachment
Note: In Reader, commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow
typically include commenting rights.
Use the Attach File tool to embed a file at a selected location in a PDF, so that the reader can open it for viewing. By
adding attachments as a comment, you can reference longer documents that can’t easily be pasted into a pop-up note
or text box. If you move the PDF to a new location, the embedded file automatically goes with it. To view an attachment,
the reader must have an application installed that can open the attachment.
Note: Be sure to use the Attach tool in the Annotations panel when attaching files for a document review. Document-level
file attachments that you attach using the paper clip icon (Attach A File tool) from the Tools > Content panel aren’t tracked
with other comments in a review workflow and may cause your attached comments to be lost.
1 Choose Comment > Annotations >Attach File .
2 Click in the PDF where you want to place the attachment.
3 Select the file that you want to attach, and then click Select. If you’re attaching a PDF, you can highlight areas of
interest in the file using comments.
4 In the File Attachment Properties dialog box, select the settings for the file icon that appears in the PDF.
The comment attachment also appears in the Attachments tab with a page number indicating its location.
Note: To delete the attachment, right-click the attached comment icon, and choose Delete.
Paste images as comments
Note: In Reader, commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow
typically include commenting rights.
You can use the Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp tool to add images to a PDF. You can copy most image formats from
drawing and image-editing applications, such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. If you want to add the image
to PDFs repeatedly, create a custom stamp of the image.
Note: The Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp tool isn’t available until you copy an image.

• In Acrobat, choose Edit > Take a Snapshot , and select an image from a PDF.
• In another application, select an image and choose Edit > Copy.
2 Open a PDF.
3 Choose Comment > Annotations > Stamps > Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp Tool.
