 Adding annotations

An annotation is a note or comment added to a PDF document. You can add annotations using Atril.

When you open a file, you should have a side pane on the left side of the window. If you do not have a visible side pane, click View Sidepane or press the F9 key on the keyboard.

At the top of the side pane, the items in the drop-down list Thumbnails, Index, Annotations and Bookmarks let you choose what to display in the side pane. (Some options may not be available for some documents).

To create an annotation:

Select Annotations from the drop-down list:

Click on Add to add a text annotation.

Click on the spot in the document window you would like to add the annotation to. Your annotation window will open.

Type your text into the annotation window.

You can resize the note by clicking and holding the left mouse button on one of the bottom corners of the note, and moving it around.

Close the note by clicking on the x in the top corner of the note.
