Tip on Adding Notes and Comments
You can double-click a tool to lock it on and use it continuously. This is helpful when
adding multiple notes and/or comments. Click the arrow tool to unlock your tool. To turn
the automatic continuous use feature on or off, see General
Preferences for details.
Printing Notes and Comments
1. Choose File > Print.
2. In the Print dialog box, check Print Comments and/or Print Notes.
Comment boxes will be printed where they appear within the PDF. Notes will be printed below
the bottom margin of the page; the page will be reduced to allow for this.
Print Imprints Only: When checked, this print option will not print any of the original
document text, it will only print information added to the document, like Text, Comments, Notes,
and Scribbles. With this feature you can position Text to fill in a pre-printed form, because only
the answer fields will print.
