Mark up text with edits
You can use text edit comments in a PDF to indicate where text should be edited in the source file. Text edit
comments do not change the actual text in the PDF. Instead, they indicate which text should be deleted, inserted, or
replaced in the source file from which the PDF was created.
You can use the Select tool or the Text Edits tool to add most types of text edits. Shortly after you click or select text
with the Text Edits tool, an icon appears. If you right-click this icon, a menu of text editing options appears.
In Windows, you can export text edits directly to the Microsoft Word document that the PDF is based on to revise
the source document. To use this feature, you must use PDFMaker in Word to create the PDF. Before you export your
text edits, make sure that insertion comments use the exact text, including spaces and paragraph returns, that you
want to add. If you add extra instructional words (such as “Add the following:”), these words will have to be deleted
manually from the Word document.
In Windows, you can export text edit comments directly to an Autodesk AutoCAD document that the PDF is based
on to incorporate your edits. To use this feature, you must use PDFMaker in AutoCAD to create the PDF.
