How to Make Notes on Adobe Documents

The Note tool in Adobe Acrobat is a convenient way to add information in the form of a "Sticky Note" to Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. Notes are the most common and basic form of commenting on Adobe documents. You can place notes anywhere on the document and decide whether or not to show them. It allows you to indicate and keep track of changes without the notes being included on the printed document or visible to the public.

Things You'll Need

• Adobe Acrobat program

Instructions

1. Open the Abode Acrobat program. Click "File" on the program's toolbar and click "Open..." from the drop-down menu. When the Open dialog box appears, select the document you want to make notes on and click the "Open" button.

2. Click "Tools" on the program's toolbar. Move the cursor over "Comment and Markup" on the drop-down menu and click "Sticky Note" from the extended menu.

3. Click anywhere on the document page where you want to place the note.

4. Type the note in the box when the note dialog box pops up.

5. Click the minimize box in the top-right corner of the note to close the note when you have finished. A note icon remains in the document at the spot you clicked to create the note. By clicking on the icon, you or another user can open and read the note.
