PDF Annotation is a program you can use to take notes directly on the PDF file, so you don’t need to keep a separate Word document open at the same time. You can download a free trial of the software below.
PDF Annotation is everything you need when working with PDF files, whether at the office or in school, making it an indispensable tool. We tested it on our Windows 7 PC and were immediately impressed by how polished and intuitive PDF Annotation really is.
You get tools familiar from both Word and Paint, including highlighters, pencils, and various stamps. You can also adjust their size and shape to fit your needs. The program includes plenty of shapes such as arrows, circles, and rectangles that you can use in the PDF file. You can also move sections around and delete them once they are loaded into the program. When you’re done editing, you can save the document as the original PDF or create a new modified version you can always change later.
PDF Annotation includes a wide range of features that make it feel like handwriting again—like emptying your whole pencil case. It feels especially natural on a touchscreen or with a pen/stylus, closely mimicking writing by hand. That said, it’s by no means required; using a mouse is more than enough to take full advantage of the program’s capabilities.
