Previous versions made this real easy.  But, I can't find the graphics in this version.  I have to outline numerals with circles on pdf documents for work.  Thanks.

    Use the drawing tools at Tools > Comment.

    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

          Bernd, on my Adobe menu bar, I don't have a "Tools"

            I've added the easier way in this thread.  There is a OVAL Button you can add through Tools - Create Custom Tool - Comment -then OVAL.  Then you just click drag your OVAL over any word in the PDF
