Annotate PDFs

[py3ak]

Is there a free utility that will let me add comments to a PDF? I want to make notes that are linked to specific points in the document. Windows 7.

Mendeley is very good for annotating, tagging, etc. Check out:

PDF XChange Viewer will let you write on pdfs as well:

Mendeley is my main pdf program for my academic work. With it, one can go to a fully searchable, paperless system.

I'll give another endorsement for Mendeley. It is surprisingly powerful and useful for working with pdfs. Annotations are easy, and you can go to any of your notes through linking.

And, of course, it is free.

If I make notes in Mendeley, will that be visible if someone opens the PDF in a different reader?

Yes. I can read annotations made on Mendeley using Adobe Acrobat Pro. I don't know about other readers, but it probably would work.

I'll give it a whirl! Thank you both very much.
