Reviewing comments

Join Brian Wood for an in-depth discussion in this video Reviewing comments, part of Acrobat 9 Pro Essential Training.

If you have a PDF that has lots of comments in it from several people, you may want to see how…to navigate those comments a little bit easier than trying to come out in open every little note.…I have got grun_project_review.pdf open right now and if you look,…there is a bunch of comments that are sitting out here.…Now I tend to get a little crazed with all these comments out here.…You don't know what look at first.…Sometimes they are really hard to see as a matter of fact you can see Grunbyte Project right here,…there is one right in the middle there called Inc.…and that's a little rough to see.…If you take your cursor and start just hovering around the page you don't have to open the pop…up notes to see what they are talking about.…

Q: After scanning a file to PDF, the text is not editable, despite following the steps in the “Editing text” movie. How do I make a PDF with editable text?

A: Text may not be editable after scanning to PDF since most scanners scan a document and convert the contents to a digital image. To check if text is editable, open the PDF and select the Text and Image tool. Position the pointer over the "text" in the PDF, and if a I-beam cursor appears, it's text. If not, it's most likely an image. In that case, the image needs to be converted to text first by choosing Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR, then choosing ClearScan as the method.
