Annotate PDF with text mark-up tools

Nitro Pro features mark-up tools to help you draw attention to text that requires revision. These tools are a useful way to combine feedback or comments with every mark-up.

When you print a PDF file, you can make all text mark-up visible or hidden.

For more information, see Annotation layer and content layer.
