How to annotate a PDF online

  1. 1

    Open your PDF

    Highlight any passage

    Select text and add a highlight in one click. Highlights are anchored to the page and saved with your document.

  3. 3

    Add notes and export

    Attach notes to a highlight or a page. Export the annotated PDF when you're done so the markup travels with the file.
