I'm new to the forum, so forgive me if this has been asked and answered:

I teach college courses, and when I assess student papers I often make the same comment on multiple documents. Is there a way in Adobe Acrobat to create a library of Sticky Notes that can be used on multiple documents?

Many thanks for your thoughts.

Jay,
Something fairly simple; however, it is functional.
Create a blank PDF. Create the annotations that repeat and place them in the PDF.
Some of the Comment & Markup toolbar's annotations can be copied (in Windows - perhaps in Mac also?)
from this PDF and pasted into another, open PDF.

The annotations are:
Sticky Note (using the various icons)
Callout tool
Textbox tool
Cloud tool
Arrow tool
Line tool
Rectangle tool
Oval tool
Pencil tool

Be well...

Be well...

Thanks for the rapid and thoughtful reply.

The second document idea, with pre-done Sticky Notes that are copied-and-pasted to the document under review, works ok on a Mac. However, the Sticky Notes don't land on the cursor, but a bit away. Additionally, there are many keystrokes required to move the note from one document to the other.

Is there a way to drag and drop the Sticky Notes between documents, rather than cut and paste? This would reduce the number of keystrokes, which is important given the number of papers that need to be reviewed.
