I do a lot of document reviewing via Acrobat, and it would be very convenient if I add some additional tools to the choice of things that appear when I right-click the mouse when it's over the text. (Otherwise, I keep having to move the mouse back and forth between the text and the toolbars).
But after much investigation, I haven't figured out whether this is possible, let alone how to do it!
Anyone have any wisdom to share?
Thanks!
But, Something to play with -
Have the Select Tool active.
Double-click or Shift+click text of interest (which highllights/selects the text).
Right click for context menu.
Some of the choices are:
--| Replace Text (Comment)
--| Highlight Text (Comment)
--| Add Note to Text (Comment)
--| Underline Text (Comment)
--| Cross-Out Text (Comment)
Each provides an associated pop-up that has its own "label".
--| Replace Text (label is "[b]Replacement Text[/b]")
--| Highlight Text (label is "[b]Highlight[/b]")
--| Add Note to Text (label is "[b]Comment on Text[/b]")
--| Underline Text (label is "[b]Highlight[/b]")
--| Cross-Out Text (label is "[b]Cross-Out[/b]")
With the exception of [i]Highlight Text[/i] and [i]Add Note to Text[/i] each pop-up may be configured to have its own color.
(These both use the "Highlight" annotation color setting.)
In Acrobat's Preferences > Commenting category you have configuration options for 'Pop-Up Open Behavior' and 'Making Comments'.
Example: copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underlne comment pop-ups.
Note that using this does not result in the "Add Note to Text" pop-up having select text copied in.
Appropriate behavior as, for this, you'd want a clean palette onto which you "add a note" .If you play with this then, also, play with the Comments List.
Within the Comments List you can perform very useful Sorting/Filtering and Searching.
Example: Sort by Color of annotation.
As well, a report PDF can be generated that summarizes the Comments.
