Marking up text
The PDF Editor allows you to indicate what changes should be made to a document. Any editing marks
that you add will not alter the text itself but merely indicate what changes must be made and where.
Annotations related to editing text are only available in documents with a text layer or documents that
have been recognized by the background recognition process.
ABBYY FineReader includes the following markup tools:
Highlight
Underline
Strikethrough
Add Note to Insert Text
You can add a comment to any type of annotation by double-clicking the annotation. For more on
comments, see Collaborating on PDF documents .
