How to take notes on a PDF online

Here’s how to use Xodo to add notes to PDF pages:

1. Upload your PDF to Xodo’s free PDF Annotator tool.

2. Use any of Xodo’s annotating tools by selecting them from the toolbar. Then click and drag over the text you wish to annotate or click on the page where you want to insert an annotation.

3. Once you’re done annotating your PDF document, click on Download or save your annotated PDF to Xodo Drive or Google Drive.

Xodo’s PDF Annotator tool is flexible enough to cater to the most common note-taking needs you may have. We take a closer look below.

Add text on your PDF

Click on any of the Text tools (represented by a “T” icon) and click on the page where you want to write on the PDF or add text. You can then type in your text.

You’ll have the following options:

Free Text: The option lets you type anywhere on the page to quickly add note text. You can customize the font, alignment, font colour, and more. 

Insert Text: You can easily insert text to make notes to yourself about specific lines. Click and drag over the text to use as a reference point. Then type in your notes in the Comments panel.

Replace Text: Use this option to strike through text and then insert your own notes as a Comment. A perfect option for rephrasing complex sentences in your own words.

Add an underline, squiggly line, strikethrough, or rectangle

You can add regular or squiggly underlines, strikethroughs, and even rectangles to the PDF text as you read, study, or review. With them, you can mark text you want to delete, go back to, or address later.

Simply click on the markup PDF tool you wish to use and then click and drag over the text you wish to underline, strikethrough, or draw around.

You can also attach any notes to your markups by adding them as a comment in the side panel, if needed.

Add PDF sticky notes

It's possible to even add a note to your PDF. Click on the Note tool and then click on the page where you want to place it. Add your text to it by typing it into the field in the side panel. Then click on Save.

Attach comments to PDF markup

As you have seen, you can add comments to any markup note you add to the page right within the Comments side panel.

With each comment, you can take things a step further and change or update the status on them as needed, and even edit or delete them.

This can come in handy if you’re sifting through your different points to include in a paper, are collaborating and sharing notes with someone else, or need to check off where you left off.
