How to use Acrobat Reader DC for PDF markup

After your file is typeset, watch this video to learn how to mark up changes and corrections effectively for typesetting.

When you added the word green before picture you carefully and correctly explained the need to add a space afterwards. Only the word green appears in the comments to the right . The space isn't shown. How does the typesetter know you meant to have a space there (you could have meant it to be greenpicture)?

They don't have to know that. They click "accept" in Indesign for each "comment" (change) after having imported them from the pdf, and the changes are applied automagically. (At least simple text deletions, insertions and replacements.)

I'd like to make a suggestion for other demonstration videos. For novices like myself, it would help if you speak and demonstrate more slowly. I almost gave up listening to you because you were moving so fast. It would also be helpful if you went through the annotations one at a time, as they appear on the toolbar.

Juanita Michelle sorry I went a bit fast. You can always change the playback speed in KZbin. However in future I will bear this in mind when making videos.

Hello. I just submitted the following suggestions to adobe regarding their Comment feature for Adobe Acrobat Pro, and am wondering if I am missing something (i.e., if perhaps any of these features or functions already exist therein), in perhaps some other type of accessible modality, and if so, if you might be able to do an instructional video, as related to how to perform those specified functions (?) - and I thank you, in advance. Submitted suggestions / dialogue, was as follows: "New Product Text Editing Feature Requests / Suggestions, for usage within pop-out panel that appears on right side of the display screen, after clicking on the Comment tab, to create Sticky Note commentary, for insertion into PDF content: - Double underline option - Choose Underline color option - Ability to format text (i.e., bold, underline - including, as referenced above), and italicize and choose color options for such, as well. - Ability to add "links" (i.e., including BOTH page, web and cross-reference / document links) to text PS: When accessed / utilized from within pop-out panel, as described above, resultant editorial / formatting changes should also be accessible, and appear, from within pop-out window of correlative sticky note, within main body of PDF content - even after closing right panel, pop-out Comment window.

I opened my pdf in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, selected the Comment tool, but it is uneditable. What am I doing wrong? Ps I also tried the search tool and ...no good.

[@Renanatypesetting]

that is unusual. If you can’t add comments, then ask the person who sent you the pdf to “enable” the pdf.

[@RawFitChris]

@@Renanatypesetting Thank you, I didn't know they had to enable it. But this was a pdf of mine- this is unusual.

[@Persephonesgains]

Does he ever get around to highlighting? Can you do text to notes?

[@Renanatypesetting]

I don’t understand your question. Could you clarify?

Too fast for a beginner! Slow down!!

[@Renanatypesetting]

sorry you found it too fast. You have the option at playing at a slower speed if that helps.

[@alanjones3302]

too fast!

[@Renanatypesetting]

sorry if it went too fast for you. You can try watching it at 0.75 speed if that helps.
