0:00 / 0:00
okay so first of all i'm going to open
up the comments bar
and the first option i have is to add a
sticky
note so if i just click somewhere inside
the document
i can then type in a note and post it
then hover over the note and see what
you wrote
and i can also click on the note and
move it to a different place if i want
to then another way of adding in
a note is to right click and select
add sticky note and
then you don't actually have to post the
note
you can just click off of it and it will
still be there
then if you don't have the comments bar
open
and you add a sticky note it will
pop up looking like this
then another way of adding a note is to
use the keyboard
shortcut ctrl 6
and you will also end up with a note
like that
then if i right click and select
properties
i can change the way the note looks
and then if i want to make that change
permanent i need to tick the
make properties default box here
then the next option i have is to
highlight the text
so i can just click and drag to
highlight the words i want
i can also underline words
like this and then if i
right click i can go to
properties and choose
to have either a straight line or a
squiggly
line which looks like this
then i can also
strike through the text as well
and with each of these options
automatically there will be
a pop-up here which will let me add a
note to explain that change which i will
then see if i hover over it
then my next option is to replace
the text so i can select the text i want
to replace
and then type in what i want to replace
it with
and i can also add in text
and just click where i want to add in
the text
and then type it in
then i also have the option of just
putting in some
floating text
and with this text i can change the font
and the size and the color and also
either
decrease the line spacing or increase
the line
spacing then i can also
select the box and resize it
and also move it around
then i have the option of using a text
box which is
very similar but this time i have a
box around the text and i can also
change the way the text
looks and then
if i select the box and go to properties
i can change the way the box looks
and okay then the next
option is the line tool and i can change
the thickness
of the line using this bar here and then
just draw
lines and then the erase tool can be
used to
remove the lines the next
option is to add a stamp and these will
show
various different pieces of information
about the document
and you can add in more specific
information
about yourself if you want to
and then you just put the stamp
somewhere in the
document then
this option here will let you attach a
file or record some audio
and you can also add in some shapes as
well
probably the most useful is the text
callout where you can
click and drag and then get an
arrow pointing to something with a text
box
and again you can change the way the
text looks here
and then resize the box
or move the arrow
and then if you right click you can
change the properties of this
then the next option here is the pin
tool
so if for example i try and underline
something as soon as i finished
underlining it will automatically change
back to the hand
symbol but if i select the underline
tool and then pin it i can
underline multiple things and it will
keep
going until i unpin it again
and the pin feature will work with all
of these
options now the color
tool will also work with all of these
options
and you can change their colors so for
example i can change the highlighting to
be
pink and then if i highlight something
it will now be pink
and also if i add a note to this
when i hover over it that will also be
pink
and then if i select over this
again the word that i've highlighted
twice is going to be slightly darker
and then for example i can change the
strike through
to be black and then when i strike
through
words it will just be a black line
now you can select text both
ways you can select the text first and
then choose the
option that you want to use
or you can choose the option first and
then select the text
you can also select a piece of text
and then right click and choose from
these four options
so you can highlight the text for
example or you could
add a note to text which will highlight
it and then let you add a note at the
same time
also you can select a word and then
press delete on the keyboard and that
will add a
strikethrough to it you can also
select a word and then start
typing the text that you want to replace
it with
and that will replace that word and you
can also just
add in some text by clicking where you
want to add it in
and then start typing so these
options you can use without actually
having to select anything
but you do need for the comments bar to
be open in order for this to work
then if we have a look at the comments
here
if i scroll down to a different part of
the document
and then click on one of the comments
it would take me back to that part of
the document
and i can reply to
a comment i
can also copy the text from a comment
and that will put it in my clipboard
i can also edit a comment and then i can
change what i have written
and i can also edit a comment by double
clicking on it
i can also set the status to accepted
or cancelled or completed
or rejected
or none and i can add a check mark which
is a
little tick in the corner and then i can
remove the
check mark by clicking on it
and i also have the option of just
deleting the whole comment
you can also delete comments by just
selecting them and pressing delete on
the
keyboard and then you can also select a
comment
in the document and press delete
on the keyboard or select a comment in
the document
and then right click and choose delete
now up here you can search the comments
so for example i can search for the word
note
or you can sort the comments using
various different options
and you can also filter the comments so
for example if i only want to see these
sticky notes
then it will make everything else
disappear
or i can filter by color so i can
show only the things in green and that
will show me just the stuff that i have
underlined or i can hide
all of the comments and that will take
me back to a blank
document and then i can clear all to get
the comments back
again and then if i click here
i can change the commenting preferences
and this will give me a bunch more
options for the comments
as well and then once i'm done
commenting i can close the bar
up here
okay so in this video i have shown you
how to make comments in adobe reader
and that is everything
