Withselection of the "Comments and Markup Tool" and "Sticky Note Tool" command in PDF-XChange Editor, the cursor becomes a comment bubble and you can insert the comment into a PDF document - directly to the desired location - by clicking the left mouse button.

By right-clicking on the comment bubble, a context menu opens that includes the "Properties" panel. If you choose this, you can be more detailed about the appearance of the comment symbol and its accompanying stickers, which successively opens in the menu window.


With the "Typewriter Tool" command, additional text passages can be added into a PDF document at the desired location, additions to the already existing basic text, and then save it along with the existing text.


In the field of drawings, graphics, photos or colorful backgrounds, it is often advisable to insert a text box instead of normal typewriter command and then insert a text. The text contrasts better and fits better within the existing image.


In PDF-XChange Editor, with the help of "Callout Tool", certain areas within a text or graphic can be emphasized better than with arrows or comments. If you want to highlight a particular word or a particular section in a graphic, you can achieve that by placing the speech bubble at the precise location you want.


At first, the command is selected in the menu. Passages, in which individual words or full sentences shall be displayed with a strikethrout, will be selected by pressing and holding the left mouse button and will be displayed with blue background. When releasing the mouse button, the previously selected text will be visibly marked with a red strikethrough.


Again, first the command will be selected in the menu and afterwards the text, which shall be underlined, will be selected by pressing and holding the left mouse button and will be displayed with blue background. When releasing the mouse button, the text will be displayed underlined in green.


Red arrows, lines, rectangles, clouds and further symbols can be inserted at any position in a PDF document with the corresponding commands in the PDF-XChangeEditor.

If the respective shape is selected with a double click with the left mouse button, a comment field opens, which can be filled with an individual text.


Different media requires different rules. This is simply because you have more control over layout in some formats and less control in others. Also layout looks different in different media. When using the Open-Xchange logo, with the brand claim, this simple rule applies: the claim is positioned to the right on web-based content, and the claim is positioned to the left in print media.


As shown below the Open-Xchange color palette is based primarily on a range of blues. The second most dominant color group is grey and black tones. This is then followed by the Open-Xchange highlight colors: ice blue, lime green, raspberry, mandarin and mango.


Please note that the use of the highlight colors mandarin and mango should be restricted. They should only be used when all the other highlight colors (ice blue, lime green and raspberry) have already been used.


If there is a need to highlight some text in blue, please do not use any of the Open-Xchange blues above. Instead, please use OX Ice Blue from the list of Open-Xchange highlight colors below. OX Ice Blue has been specifically created for this purpose.


As the name suggests, these colors are reserved for highlighting elements. This important job can only be achieved successfully if they are used as sparingly as possible. For example: using them to highlight starbursts, buttons and/or similar elements that warrant a color highlight.


Please note that the use of the highlight colors mandarin and mango should be restricted and only be used when all the other highlight colors (ice blue, lime green and raspberry) have already been used.


The use of black on light backgrounds or the use of white on dark backgrounds is equally effective, but remember that white can also be used as a spotlight color in the silver gradient or as a form field on a light background.


The creation of gradients, and their placement, is quite simple, once you know how. Simply use the pure Open-Xchange colors for each side in the gradient tool and you are done (e.g. OX Dark Blue and OX Medium Blue to create the OX Blue Gradient).


Open Sans is a sans serif typeface designed by Steve Matteson. Open Sans has an upright stress and a neutral, yet friendly appearance. It was optimized for print, web, and mobile interfaces, and has excellent legibility characteristics.


For a long time, I have used PDF-Xchange Viewer to the PDF files of ebooks, papers, dissertations, etc. I prefer it rather than Adobe Reader. One of the reasons is because Xchange provides a JavaScript console, which can be invoked by hitting Ctrl+J. Thus, we can attempt to automate some annotations; for example, search and highlight words. You can find a source code from the knowledge base of Xchange. However, the original code can only find words that match exactly. Here, I modified the code in Line 10 and thereby it highlights words that contain the text to be searched.


One little problem is that you have to copy and paste the code to the JavaScript console, when you closed the viewer and open it again. It is inconvenient. One way to streamline it is to use a text expander, such as PhraseExpress, to create a shortcut/autotext to recall the script more easily and quickly. Thus, when I type the autotext (e.g. JS.h), then the all script is loaded to the console automatically.


There's no reason for a obtrusive yellow speech-bubble to notify the user that the text you highlighted is interactive, especially when it covers other text and doesn't match the color or opacity you selected for the highlight.


I fail to understand why it's so difficult to just add a comment to a bit of text without there being some icon, (from a very limited menu), be it star, or note, or arrow, or circle. Do roll-over pop-outs in web browsers attached to anchor tags require icons? No. They take the anchor attributes because that's all they are, anchors, and they need no other.


Sorry for sounding petulant, but I've been fighting to find a way to create a simple bit of hot text with a call-out for most of the day and I've had no luck (well, I lie... I've been able to underline the text w/o an icon.


I don't agree with this because Acrobat doesn't agree with it. There's no difference between the Underline and Highlight functionality excepting that the indication that there is something special about the Highlighted text is even more apparent than the Underlined text, and yet, -there is no icon for the underline- and -there is an icon for the highlight-. Exact same tool, slightly different visual text attribute. It's not at all necessary and it obfuscates the document.


The second-left on the top row is the "regular" Highlight tool - this draws the colored block over a text selection without any sticky note attached; it's all it can do (which is why the icon doesn't have a speech bubble overlay, as the next two have).


The bottom row contains text annotations. The first four do not display the sticky note icon even with a note attached, they simply display a tooltip (or open the note itself if you double-click them), so again there's no speech bubble on the icon. The fifth button is the "text note" tool, and this is the annotation type Acrobat uses if you type something into the popup field of a "regular" highlight, and hence this is why you see the highlight and the tiny speech bubble icon on the page. What started life as a "highlight" has become a "text note" as a result of entering something into the note field.


My Acrobat started including the post it note spontaneously. I was able to make that stop by going to Preferences, the Comments, and unchecking the box that said include highlight texted in a note. It was driving me crazy before that.
