This image shows you how the Comment tool can be used to add text, shapes and hand-drawn formulas, symbols, etc. This image shows you which tools are available to use with the free version (Pro users can skip ahead to the next section): As of May 2020 there are still Pro licences available to staff with district supplied computers requests can be made by submitting a Help Desk ticket. Some basic instructions on using Acrobat Pro can be found here. With Pro all of the editing features are unlocked, allowing staff to add/remove pages, edit the actual text, and/or convert the document to Word or some other format for editing.
The diagram below shows you which tools are free to use, and which ones should be avoided if you are using the Reader version. Unfortunately free and paid features are mixed in together rather deceptively, and when a Pro tool is clicked annoying pop-up ads and an Adobe Sign In window appear on the screen. Today all of the editing tools are bundled into Acrobat Reader DC, but some of them only work with the paid, or Pro, version of the app. Earlier versions of Reader came with limited features, and users would buy a separate app-called Acrobat Exchange-if they needed to edit PDFs. No licence or sign in is required to use this app, although if you push the wrong button you will be prompted to purchase a licence. Acrobat Pro DCĪcrobat Reader is the free to download application created by Adobe for viewing PDFs. Chromebook users can use the Read & Write PDF Viewer (when signed into their district G Suite accounts) as documented in this Tech Tip. NOTE: Mac users should learn to use the built in Preview app, as it offers most of the features of Acrobat DC Pro for free. Home users with personal devices who install Acrobat Reader (a free download) can also use these instructions. There are important differences between these similar sounding apps, as described below, but these instructions will apply to both versions. Currently district computers may have either Acrobat Reader DC or Acrobat Pro DC installed. This may be useful if you are marking assignments sent as PDFs, or adding questions/answers/comments to PDF documents. These instructions will show staff and students how they can add text, shapes and basic hand-drawn elements to a PDF. Add Comments with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
