Editing comments
Acrobat allows you to move comments, edit notes and text comments, and edit graphic
markup and text markup comments. Acrobat also allows you to edit the pop-up note that
is associated with a comment. Audio and file comments are the exceptions. Although you
can move audio and file comment icons, you cannot edit these files from within Acrobat
and preserve the changes.

Select the hand tool
or the appropriate comments tool.

Select the comment in one of the following ways:
•
Double-click a comment to open the note window.
•
Select the boundary of a text, text markup, or graphics comment to make it active and
available for editing.

Edit the text as needed, and click the close box in the upper left corner of the window to
close the note. Click outside a text comment to conclude editing.

and drag to the appropriate size. You cannot resize a text markup comment once it is
created.
