Commenting preferences
Commenting preferences affect both the appearance of and the way you view comments and markups in PDFs.
Note: Because comments can be placed anywhere within the document frame, you may need to scroll or zoom out to see
comments that are located off the page.
To set commenting preferences, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and then
select Commenting on the left side.
Font, Font Size In Windows, you can determine the font and the size of text in pop-up notes. In Mac OS, you can
select only Large, Medium, or Small settings for the font. This setting applies to all new and existing comments.
Pop-up Opacity Determines the opacity of comment pop-up notes in values from 1-100. When a pop-up note is
open but not selected, an opacity value of 100 makes the note opaque, while lower values make it more transparent.
Enable Text Indicators And Tooltips Shows a tool tip containing the author name, comment status, and two lines of
the text when you place the pointer over a comment that includes a pop-up note. Selected by default.
Print Notes And Pop-ups Specifies that pop-up notes associated with comments, and icons for note, audio, and file
attachments, print exactly as they appear on the page.
Instead of selecting this option, you can print comment text in various layouts by choosing File > Print, and clicking
Summarize Comments.
Show Lines Connecting Comment Markups To Their Pop-ups On Mouse Rollover When you place the pointer over a
comment markup (such as a highlight or a note icon), the shaded connector line between the comment and the open
pop-up note appears. Selected by default.
Ensure That Pop-ups Are Visible As The Document Is Scrolled As you scroll a PDF, the pop-up notes on a given page
shift to stay in view within the document pane. Selected by default.
Automatically Open Comment Pop-ups For Comments Other Than Notes A pop-up note appears when you create a
new comment using a drawing tool, the Stamp tool, or the Pencil tool.
Hide Comment Pop-ups When Comments List Is Open Helps reduce screen clutter when a page includes many
comments. Selected by default.
Automatically Open Pop-ups On Mouse Rollover When you place the pointer over a comment of any type, including
drawing markups and stamps, the pop-up note opens.
Always Use Log-in Name For Author Name Determines which name appears in the pop-up note you create. If this
option is selected, the Login Name in the Identity panel of the Preferences dialog box is used. If this option isn’t
selected, the default name you specify for Author in a comment properties dialog box is used. Selected by default.
Create New Pop-ups Aligned To The Edge Of The Document Aligns pop-up notes with the right side of the
document window, regardless of where the comment markup (such as a note icon or highlighting comment) is
added. If this option is deselected, the pop-up note appears next to the comment markup. Selected by default.
