the comment, and press Delete.

Select the markup and press Delete.

Highlight, strikethrough, or underline text

Note: In Reader only Sticky Note and Highlight tools are available. Other commenting tools are available only in PDFs that
have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow typically include commenting rights.

You can use the Highlight Text tool, Strikethrough Text tool, and the Underline Text tool to add comments by
themselves or in conjunction with notes.

You can add a highlight with a note or you can cross out text or underline text by selecting the text using the Select tool,
right-clicking, and then choosing that option from the menu that appears. However, if you’re marking up a lot of text,
the specialized tools are faster and easier to use.

, or the

Underline Text tool

.

Note: If you want to apply more than one comment using the Strikeout Text tool or the Underline Text tool, choose Keep
Tool Selected from the Options menu after you select the tool. The Highlight Text tool stays selected after you make the
first comment.
