Making a Text Edit
Acrobat and Adobe Reader include a set of tools used for identifying text edits. The Text Edits tools are
used to identify content to replace, delete, or insert. Follow these steps to select text for editing:
1. Click the Text Edits tool on the Commenting toolbar to open the submenu and select the Indicate
Text Edits Tool
.
2. Click and drag with the tool to select text on the page; change the amount of text selected by
dragging one of the arrows at the corners of the highlighted text (Figure 12.2).
3. Select the appropriate tool or keyboard command and make the edit:
x
Press Delete on the keyboard to delete the selected text, shown as a cross-out on the page, or
select the Cross Out Text for Deletion comment tool.
x
Start typing to make a Replace Selected Text comment, or choose the tool from the Text Edits
submenu, shown as a cross-out on the page with a caret identifying the location at which the
replacement text starts. The replacement text is shown in a note box automatically.
x
Rather than selecting text, click the location in a block of text with the Indicate Text Edits tool
and start typing to insert text; or choose the tool from the Text Edits
submenu. The text is
shown in a note box and a caret displays on the page at the insertion point.
4. Double-click the edit to open a note box to type a comment or note.

Adding Stamp Comments
Acrobat offers you the digital equivalent to old-fashioned ink stamps, and takes the features much further
by using dynamic features such as names and dates for some stamps. Select from a variety of preconfigured
stamps, or create your own custom stamps.
