Inserting Document Comments with the Advanced Commenting Toolbar

Options that appear on the Advanced Commenting toolbar give you a lot of flexibility when annotating a PDF document by providing markup tools that go way beyond the standard note, text edit, stamps, and highlighting features found on the Commenting toolbar. You can use the Rectangle tool and its many built-in variations to create drawn shapes used to highlight text or graphics that you want to call attention to with an attached comment. The Text Box tool creates static annotations that always appear in a document rather than hidden comments made with the Note tool. The Pencil tool draws free-hand shapes around document elements you want to call attention to with an attached comment. You can even attach sound files or other document files using the Attach Sound tool and Attach File tool. The following sections give the particulars on these useful markup tools.
