typically include commenting rights.
You can use the Record Audio Comment tool to add a prerecorded WAV or AIFF file as a comment or to record and
place an audio comment in a document. Audio attachments appear in the Comments list and can be played back on
any platform. However, the appropriate hardware and software for playing audio files must be installed.
The Record Audio Comment tool doesn’t appear in the Comment & Markup toolbar by default. However, you can
add it by choosing Tools > Customize Toolbars.
