Markups and Returns
Acrobat has always offered markup tools, but the AEC and Mechanical Engineering standards are different
and use different ways of marking up drawings using lines, arcs, clouds, and notes to identify the edits to
the originator. Acrobat 7 Professional includes a suite of tools that let the reviewer convey his/her edits in
the standard fashion. Figure 6.12 shows the start of my review. Click the Arrow tool's drop-down arrow to
open the Drawing tools' menu, which reveals a wealth of tools for adding drawing-based annotations.
Figure 6.12 Drawing tools provide standard markup options
For example, I used the Arrow tool to create arrows with annotations that point to my area of interest,
then used the Pencil tool to sketch the door's approximate location, finally using the Cloud tool to draw
attention to the area I edited (Figure 6.13).
