Highlight text, drop a sticky note, or sketch freehand with the pen, right on top of any PDF. Pick highlight colors and pen widths, and add your name as the author. Every mark is a real annotation, not painted onto the page, so it shows up in Acrobat, Preview, or any reader's comments panel, ready to reply to or remove.
