the presence of text in the pop-up note.

Group and ungroup markups
You can group two or more markups so that your comments function as a single comment. You might group
markups temporarily to move them to a new location or to modify their properties rather than editing each one
individually. Grouping also helps to distinguish your markups from other reviewers’ markups in a document review.
Note:
You cannot group text edit markups.

Add comments in a text box or callout
Commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow typically
include commenting rights.
You can use the Text Box tool
to create a box that contains text. You can position it anywhere on the page and
adjust it to any size. A text box remains visible on the document page; it doesn’t close like a pop-up note.
Another way to add a text box is simply to paste copied text into the PDF. Text font and size are based on the system
default settings.
Note:
You can add comments to Japanese, Chinese, and Korean text with the Text Box tool, but you must have the Asian-
language resource files installed. Text boxes allow for horizontal text only.
You can use the Callout tool
to create a callout text box. Callout text boxes are especially useful when you want
to single out—but not obscure—a particular area of a document. Callout text boxes have three parts: a text box, a
knee line, and an end point line. You can resize each part by dragging a handle. The knee line can be resized in one
direction only; horizontal knee lines can be resized horizontally only; vertical knee lines can be resized vertically
only. The text box expands vertically as you type so that all text remains visible.
