While it`s not a problem on a computer (most computer PDF viewers do support annotations, Adobe Acrobat Reader and Mac`s Preview are the most popular free ones), on iPad/iPhone/iPod, it is necessary to use an advanced PDF viewer with explicit support for PDF Annotations (like GoodReader app, or some other apps). PDF Annotations is an advanced feature that is not a part of a "standard" PDF content. The mail app only shows you a basic preview of what`s inside a file. It`s just a Mail app that is not capable of showing them.

It doesn`t mean that annotations are missing, they`re there. You are not able to see your annotations in the iPhone/iPad`s standard Mail app. Therefore you are not able to draw across pages, even if you`re currently reading a PDF file in a double-page mode. Please note that PDF annotations are bound to a particular page. You can extract files from PDF file attachments. Also, polygons and polylines can be edited in a limited fashion (color, placement, size). All annotations that can be viewed can also be deleted. The other types of annotations that you can view in GoodReader: polygons and polylines, rubber stamps, file attachments. You can freely adjust the color of all of the above. Types of annotations that you can create and edit in GoodReader: popup ("sticky") notes with 7 different icons, text highlights, typewriter notes, text boxes with callouts, freehand drawings, lines, arrows, rectangles, ovals, "cloudy" shapes, text underlines (including "squiggly" ones), text deletion marks (strikeouts), text insertion marks, text replacement marks.

GoodReader allows you to view those comments and edit almost all of them. Many types of annotations, including drawings (lines, arrows, freehand drawings), can have a text comment associated with them. iPad only: The same gesture works in the "markup" mode that activated via the Side Menu`s markup buttons - Highlight, Underline.Īll notes, highlights, markups, and drawings created outside GoodReader, and stored correctly in a PDF file, can be viewed or edited in GoodReader. It can be useful when creating a long handwritten note that doesn`t fit on one screen. It must be possible to create a set of annotation tools which can be used on a 'Secured' document without the risk of confusion, whether by formatting the highlighting/notes in a particular way or by linking them to my account in the same way that MS Word shows who has edited a document with track changes enabled.Īt the moment this is a serious functionality gap in Acrobat.When doing a freehand draw in a normal mode, you can zoom or pan a page with two fingers. There is clearly a difference between altering a document in a way which could confuse people, and simply highlighting elements of that document. I'm a barrister so I often get legal documents which are 'Secured', but I then need to make my own annotations as I go along. As more people turn to using PDFs on-screen rather than printing them out in hardcopy, that becomes more important. After all, that's why the highlighter (and other) tools are available. People who create them need to be confident that it isn't possible for someone else to alter them, deliberately or accidentally, in a way which would distort the intended meaning.īut it is also important for people who receive and use those documents to be able to highlight passages. I understand why it is important for documents to be secured. Is it possible to introduce a way of annotating a 'Secured' document? The resulting file will be a PDF file not searchable but text highlight will be possible. In Advanced Print Setup check the box "Print As Image" and click OK.In (Windows OS) Print dialog box select the "Microsoft print to PDF" printer option, then click on Advanced,.Open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and choose Print,.Print the PDF document as Image in a PDF file:.This will also highlight over the character itself and the effect is not as good as the real Highlight.
