One annotation workspace for review

Use text-aware markup when the note belongs to a passage, comments when feedback needs an explanation, drawing for freehand emphasis, shapes for visual callouts, stamps for document status, and links for clickable references.

Highlight text

Select actual PDF text and create highlight, underline or strikeout annotations across one or more lines.

Add comments

Place multiple review notes at precise page locations and edit them afterward.

Draw & add shapes

Use freehand ink, rectangles, ellipses, lines and arrows for visual feedback.

Stamp & link

Add review-status stamps or create clickable areas that point to a web address.
