Annotating
To get to the annotation tools, tap in the middle of the screen, avoiding any links
etc. Select the annotation tools icon from the main toolbar, as shown above. The
toolbar at the top of the screen changes to the annotation toolbar as shown in
the image below.
Two of the most common ways of annotating a file are to highlight text or to draw
or scribble “freehand” over the document. Adding detailed notes or text is also
useful.
Highlighting text
To highlight text:
1.
Make sure the annotation toolbar is visible.
2.
Choose the highlighter tool.
3.
Drag over the text you want to highlight.
4.
Repeat the last two steps above for each highlight. You can turn the
pages (or scroll through the document) when in this mode.
Freehand drawing
If you are the sort of annotator who likes to write freehand notes and scribble all
over your document, use the freehand drawing tool.
1.
Make sure annotation toolbar is visible.
2.
Choose the freehand drawing tool.
3.
Add your annotations.
4.
Press Save or Cancel
5.
Turn the page, and then repeat the last three steps above.
