How can I enable comments in Acrobat Reader DC?

Hi there

I hope you're doing well, and thank you for reaching out!

++ Adding to the discussion

Are you looking to enable comments in Adobe Acrobat Reader or within a specific PDF document?

With Acrobat Reader, annotating PDFs is a breeze. On your desktop, you can:

• Add sticky notes for quick comments,
• Type directly onto the page,
• Use highlight, underline, or strikethrough tools, and
• Draw freely using the freehand drawing tool.

For more info, please check the help page (https://adobe.ly/3B6quLw)

If you're trying to enable comments in a PDF document, you'll need the document owner's permission to change the settings. Here's how you can enable commenting on a document:

1. Open the PDF in Acrobat.
2. Go to File > Properties > Security tab.
3. Choose No Security, or adjust the security settings to allow commenting.

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Hi Bernd!

Thanks for getting back to me. Adobe Acrobat is not free though, is it? On Adobe's website it specifically says that Reader DC can be used for commenting on pdfs. Is it not possible, then?
