Collaborative working is essential to completing projects successfully, and with the growth of remote working and paperless offices, it is also essential that you have the right digital tools to be able to work effectively. This need has grown massively for PDF files which have traditionally been difficult to collaborate on, especially remotely.

The Annotating Tools Available in PDFelement

These tools can be found via the pen icon on any open PDF document on PDFelement.

1. Highlighter

Bring attention to passages of text on any editable PDF. Change the color of the highlight via the color palette icon at the top of the toolbar.

2. Underline

Need more subtle highlighting of individual words or passages. The underline tool allows you to underline any section in the PDF.

3. Strikethrough

If you want to make it clear which pieces of text need to be removed but need it illustrated not deleted, you can use the strikethrough tool to put a line through the offending text.

4. Pencil

Open up your creativity when collaborating with the free draw pencil tool that allows you to draw and write freely via the touchscreen.

5. Eraser

Mistakes are often made when collaborating. The eraser tool allows you to erase mistakes made with the pencil tool also via the touchscreen.

6. Text box

New text is often needed when collaborating. This tool allows you to add and move a new text box for your document. You can type new text directly into this box via your devices keyboard function.

7. Comment

The changes being made will probably need explaining further so you and your colleagues can keep track of thoughts and changes. The comment tool allows you to leave notes illustrated on the document with a speech bubble to open a new page where the comment can be read. This allows multiple comments to be made without making the document unmanageable.

8. Shapes

Add a range of shapes, in different colors, via the shapes tool.

9. Stamps

You can add a range of professional looking stamps to your document such as "Confidential", "Received" and "Approved" to add final status to documents. You can also create your own stamps to meet your needs.
