Many years ago commenting was only available in the Professional version of Adobe Acrobat, which most clients didn’t own. This meant that commenting was only used by other professionals such as publishers. Now, the standard FREE version of Adobe Acrobat comes with commenting built it. It’s an extremely useful tool and can help you get your amendments across much quicker. Not only will it save you time, as a client, it will save you money on any unnecessary amends lost in translation.

You only need to know how to use the very basic functions of commenting to get your point across. Once you’ve used it once, you will wonder how you ever survived without it. Below are some of the basics explained, please also see our video walkthrough on YouTube.
