In the process of reading PDF documents, we sometimes need to write some comments directly next to the paragraphs for some paragraphs that are often read, or parts that are not understood at the time. Perhaps the operation of Word will be familiar, but how should the PDF document be operated accordingly?
 

Just take our most commonly used AmindPDF for viewing PDF documents as an example. Its annotation function is very complete. You can directly add annotations while reading the document. You don't need to download other editing software to operate it, which is relatively convenient.
 

You can also easily edit, delete and move annotations. Click the "Annotate" button to enter the PDF annotation interface. The main annotation functions that can be added are: highlight, underline, strikethrough, pencil, eraser, line, rectangle, ellipse, polyline, polygon, and annotation notes



 
 
Add highlight, underline, strikeout



Highlight: Click the " Comment " button, then click the "Highlight" icon in the submenu bar, select the area in the text that needs to be highlighted and add it directly, right-click and select "Properties" to modify the highlight color


Underline: Click the "Comment" button, then click the "Underline" icon in the submenu bar, select the area in the text that needs to be underlined, and add it directly, right-click and select "Properties" to modify the color of the underline


Strikethrough: Click the "Comment" button, then click the "Strikeout" button in the submenu bar, select the area in the text where you want to add a strikethrough and add it directly, right-click and select "Properties" to modify the color of the strikethrough;
 

Drawing tools


Drawing tools can help you add different graphic elements in PDF, such as lines, rectangles, polygons, ellipses, and other images.



Pencil: draw with a pencil;


Eraser: can erase the content added by the pencil;


Line: draw a line;


Rectangle  : draw a rectangle;


Ellipse: draw an ellipse or use the Shift key to draw a circle;


Line: draw a line chart;


Polygon: draw polygon;

 
Add sticky note

Double-click any newly added note content, a note will pop up, and you can add content to the note;


Note: After clicking the "icon, click any blank space to add a note



 
 
Of course, not only PDF text, but all characters in PDF pages, PDF backgrounds, PDF watermarks, PDF page numbers, PDF forms, etc. can be edited, moved or deleted.

 
The above is the basic content of PDF document editing and annotation~
