I might be ordering PDF files of medical journal articles and might have to
highlight them to support statements in text of an article that I am working
on. I have a Windows XP computer.
But first, here is Adobe's FAQ about highlighting with Reader:
www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrfaq.html
Q. Can I edit a PDF file using Adobe Reader?
A. No. You cannot make permanent changes to PDF files using Adobe Reader;
however you can perform many edit-like functions using Adobe Reader if the
author
has enabled these functions using Acrobat 7.0 Professional. For example, you
can highlight text and add comments on sticky notes. If you're looking to
create and exchange documents, collect and compare comments, and tailor file
security to distribute reliable and polished Adobe PDF documents, look into
using
Adobe Acrobat software.
Q. Can I mark up and review files in Adobe Reader?
A. Yes, if this functionality has been rights-enabled by the PDF author.
Adobe Acrobat or Adobe LiveCycle software lets PDF authors turn on special
commenting tools in Adobe Reader on a document-by-document basis. This
capability
enables Adobe Reader 7.0 users to easily review and mark up PDF files with a
variety of commenting and markup tools. You can add sticky notes; indicate text
edits; and highlight, cross out, or underline text. You can also add premade or
dynamic stamps.
I've learned about the following alternatives to Adobe Acrobat:
Foxit PDF Editor

PDF Annotator
www.ograhl.com/en/download.php?Product=pdfannotator
ScanSoft PaperPort

overview.html
Comments, anyone? I want do to it easily without having to learn new
software.
Thanks,
Michael
