User Guide
You can add a highlight with a note or you can cross out text by selecting the text using the Select tool or Text Edits
tool, and then choosing that option from the menu that appears. However, if you’re marking up a lot of text, the
specialized tools are faster and easier to use.
1 Choose Tools > Comment & Markups, and select the Highlight Text tool , the Cross-Out Text tool , or the
Underline Text tool .
Note: If you want to apply more than one comment using the Cross-Out Text tool or the Underline Text tool, choose
View > Toolbars > Properties Bar, and select Keep Tool Selected in the Properties toolbar after you select the tool. The
Highlight Text tool stays selected after you make the first comment.
2 Drag from the beginning of the text you want to mark up. Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to mark
up a rectangular area of text. This is especially useful when marking up text in a column.
3 (Optional) To add a note, double-click the markup to add text in a pop-up note.
Stamp a document
You apply a stamp to a PDF in much the same way you apply a rubber stamp to a paper document. You can choose
from a list of predefined stamps, or you can create your own stamps. Dynamic stamps obtain information from your
system and from the Identity panel of the Preferences dialog box, allowing you to indicate name, date, and time infor­
mation on the stamp.
The Stamp tool appears in the Comment & Markup toolbar, by default.
