Change a comment’s look and set it as the default
1 After you create a comment, choose Properties from the Options menu of the pop-up note.
2 In the Properties dialog box, do any of the following, and then click Close:
• Click the Appearance tab to change such options as the color and type of icon used. The type of comment selected
determines which options are available.
• Click the General tab to change the name of the author and subject of the comment.
• Click the Review History tab to see the history of changes people have made to the status of a comment during a
review.
• Select Locked at the bottom of the Properties dialog box to prevent the comment from being edited or deleted.
• Select Make Properties Default at the bottom of the Properties dialog box to apply these properties to all subsequent
comments of this type.
Set the default look for a tool
1 In the Comment & Markup toolbar, right-click the tool you want to use, and choose Tool Default Properties.
Note: If the tool you want doesn’t appear in the Comment & Markup toolbar, right-click the toolbar, and select the tool.
2 Set the properties as desired, and click OK.
All comments you create using this tool will display the properties you set. Existing comments aren’t affected, nor is
the appearance of text in pop-up notes.
Add a sticky note
Note: In Reader, commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow
typically include commenting rights.
The most common type of comment is the sticky note. A sticky note has a note icon that appears on the page and a
pop-up note for your text message. You can add a sticky note anywhere on the page or in the document area.
