Now there is a "Customize" Category under the Tools Tab.  Select 'Create  Custom Tools'.  Find Comment and then OVAL and add that OVAL Tool then hit 'Save'. A New OVAL button will appear on the right side of the PDF along with all the other tool buttons.  Select it and then select the Circle icon on the top of the page.  Then click and drag your Circle or OVAL on the page below.

    Go to Tools, then Customize, Circle & Arrow, Open

    It brings a box over to the left of the pdf 

    Click Oval and it will allow you to put a circle that encompasses the text like the below

            After drawing the oval click it and press Ctrl+E. Then make sure the Fill Color option (the first one in the floating Oval Properties window that shows up) is set to No Color. After doing that right-click the oval and select Make Current Properties Default.
