Why Annotate PDFs Online?

Reviewing contracts, research papers, or design mockups is far easier when you can mark them up directly. PDFXINET's Annotate PDF tool lets you highlight key passages, add sticky notes, draw attention to specific areas, and embed text labels -- all without leaving your browser.

Annotation Types

  • Highlight -- semi-transparent coloured rectangle over any region.
  • Text Label -- add a short text string anywhere on the page.
  • Sticky Note -- yellow rounded-corner note with word-wrapped text.
  • Rectangle -- clean outline box around diagrams or sections.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Go to Tools → Annotate PDF.
  2. Upload your PDF and wait for page thumbnails.
  3. Select an annotation type and colour from the toolbar.
  4. Click and drag on any page to place the annotation.
  5. Click Apply & Download.
