Hello my name is Erin and in this tutorial I'm going to show you how to access and use the comment and markup tools in Adobe Acrobat DC there are several ways to access acrobats comment and markup tools but today I'm going to cover two methods that utilize the software's user-friendly interface I'll start with the most convenient way first as you can see I've already opened the document that I want to edit in this case I'm just using some Latin filler text once you've opened your document you can access the comment and markup tools by selecting comment in the sidebar which Adobe calls the right-hand pane the tools then appear up here in the toolbar when you're finished using the tools you can remove them from the toolbar by clicking the X on the right side of the screen the second way to access the comment and markup tools is to select the tools tab in the toolbar this displays the tools screen where you can then select comment and once again the tools appear in the toolbar now let's take a look at the tools that are most relevant to copy editing and proofreading these tools are the sticky note the highlight the note to text the strikethrough the note to replace text the insert and the text correction keyboard shortcuts the sticky note tool lets you stick a note anywhere on your page you can even move it around if you need to the highlight tool lets you highlight specific text if you decide that you want a note associated with the highlight simply right-click on the highlighted text and select open pop-up note like the highlight tool the note to text tool lets you highlight specific text but this time the note opens automatically so it's a bit more efficient if you know that you need a highlight and a note ahead of time the strikethrough tool lets you put a line through any text that needs to be deleted similar to the strikethrough tool the note to replace text tool lets you place a line through any text you wish to delete and then write replacement text the insert text tool lets you place new text in any editable block of text finally the shortcut tool lets you insert delete and replace text automatically which is quite handy if you're doing a lot of editing to add new text start typing wherever you would like the new text to appear to create a deletion strikethrough select the text that you would like to delete and then hit the Delete key on your keyboard and to replace text select the text that you would like to replace and then immediately start to type the replacement text in an upcoming video I'll take a look at how to manage edits and comments once they've been inserted into the document if you'd like to see the tutorial we've just covered in written format you.
