How to Use Acrobat Reader 8 to Comment

The Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 application allows you to view Portable Document Format (PDF) files. You can also make changes to a PDF, including adding sounds, images, tags and digital signatures. When you review another person's work with Acrobat Reader 8, add comments to the document by using the sticky note feature. When you insert a sticky note, a callout box is added to the portion of a document. The document's owner can click on the "Sticky Note" icon to view your comment.

Instructions

1. Open the Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 document.

2. Click the "Tools" option from the top toolbar menu, and then move your mouse over the "Comment & Markup" option.

3. Click the "Sticky Note" option. Select the area within the document where you want to add the sticky note comment.

4. Enter your comment's text in the sticky note box. Click outside of the sticky note when you've finished typing your comment.

5. Double-click on any sticky note to edit a comment. Click on the lower left or right corners to resize the comment box at any time.
