Copyediting in Adobe Acrobat used to be quite cumbersome; however, Adobe has noticeably improved the copyediting tools (which Adobe calls comment and mark-up tools) in recent versions of Acrobat. This tutorial explains how to access and use Adobe Acrobat DC's comment and mark-up tools followed by a brief overview of specific tools such as the sticky note, strikethrough, and insert-text tool.

But first, an important note about copyediting in Acrobat: The comment and mark-up tools in Acrobat can't change the document like the editing (Track Changes) tools in Microsoft Word can. Instead, Acrobat's comment and mark-up tools function like handwritten copyediting marks on paper—the tools can be used to indicate what should be changed, but you have to manually create those changes in the original document. Therefore, you should use these tools on a secondary copy of the PDF rather than the original PDF.

This tutorial is also available as a YouTube video showing all the steps in real time.

An Overview of Adobe Acrobat DC's Comment and Mark-Up Tools

Here is a brief explanation of the comment and mark-up tools most relevant to copyediting: sticky notes, highlights, notes to text, strikethroughs, notes to replace text, insert text, and text correction keyboard shortcuts. I'm not going to cover the other tools right now because they are less likely to be employed in traditional editing processes.

Sticky note: The sticky-note tool lets you 'stick' a note anywhere on the page.

Highlight: The highlight tool lets you highlight specific text. If you want to attach a note, right click on the highlighted text and select Open Pop-Up Note.

Note to text: The note-to-text tool also lets you highlight specific text and then add a note, but this tool automatically opens the pop-up note, so it is more efficient than the highlight tool if you know beforehand that you want to add both a highlight and a note to the selected text.

Strikethrough: The strikethrough tool lets you place a line through text that should be deleted.

Note to replace text: Similar to the strikethrough tool, the note-to-replace-text tool lets you place a line through text that should be deleted and then write replacement text in a pop-up box.

Insert text: The insert-text tool lets you insert new text, via a pop-up box, into any editable block of text.

• To create an insertion, start typing wherever you want the new text to appear. The new text will appear in a pop-up box.
• To create a deletion strikethrough, select the text you want to delete and then press Delete on your keyboard.
• To insert replacement text, select the text you want to replace and then type the new text, which will appear in a pop-up box.

Further Reading:

Just launch a PDF in Adobe Reader DC, and you should find a Tools pane pop up to the right of the screen. It surprisingly lists a bunch of useful features such as Protect and Optimize PDF — until you find out that it's just an advertisement board to upgrade to the Standard or Pro versions. Nice try, Adobe.

Of course, you can get it out of the way by simply hiding it, but that's when you find the stupid thing showing up each time you re-open the program. While it only takes just a click to push it back, the whole process gets old real fast, especially if you deal with multiple PDFs all the time.

Don't give up hope just yet, however. There's a nifty option that let's you hide the Tools pane and make Adobe Reader DC actually remember that. And if you dislike the pane too much, you are also going to find out how to completely get rid of it permanently.

Sounds awesome, right? Then let's get started right away!

Hiding the Tools Pane Permanently

Just so you know, Adobe Reader DC wasn't actually released with any means to permanently hide the Tools pane, which is just ridiculous. Fortunately, an update that was released subsequently — probably due to the outcry from seriously annoyed users — prompted Adobe to add in an option to finally make that possible.

So with a brief visit to the Preferences panel, you should be able to stop the thing from confronting you each time you open Adobe Reader DC.

Step 1: Hide the Tools pane like you normally do.

Open With Adobe Reader

Step 2: Click Edit, and then select Preferences.

Step 3: Click the Documents side-tab, and then check the box next to Remember Current State of Tools Pane.

Step 4: To save your changes, click OK.

That should do the trick! You won't find the Tools pane showing up automatically when re-opening Adobe Reader DC anymore.

Getting Rid of the Tools Pane Altogether

While Adobe has been considerate enough to ultimately provide an option that prevents the Tools pane from showing up automatically, the position where it collapses to — right next to the scroll bar of all things — can cause a lot of frustration.

Seriously, the last thing you want is to accidentally click that thin strip of pixels when using the scroll bar, which makes the Tools pane pop right back up. And to make matters even worse, the pane partially hides or zooms out your document to make space for itself, thereby impacting your productivity.

Since the entire pane comprises mainly of paid upgrades, consider getting rid of it altogether to prevent it from being such a bother. And for the few options that are actually usable — Comment, Export PDF, etc. — you can still access them via the Tools tab or the menu bar. So, it's not like you're missing out on anything.

Step 1: Press Windows-R to open the Run box. Next, copy and paste the file path below into the search box, and then click OK.

Step 2: Right-click the file labeled Viewer.aapp, and then select Properties on the context menu.

Step 3: Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.

Step 4: Under Group or User Names, click Users, and then check the box next to Full Control.

Click Apply, and then click OK to save your changes. Do the same on the Properties dialog box.

Step 5: Create a backup of the Viewer.aapp file to another location on your hard drive. That should let you easily revert any changes just in case you need the Tools Pane in the future.

Step 6: Once again, right-click the file, but this time, select Open With.

Step 7: On the pop-up box that shows up, select Notepad, and then click OK.

Step 8: Highlight and delete the portion of text between and including the and tags as displayed on the screenshot below.

Step 9: Click File, and then click Save. Afterward, exit Notepad.

Launch Adobe Reader DC, and voila! You should find the Tools pane gone for good. No more accidentally bringing it up when using the scroll bar.

Good Riddance!

The Tools Pane is super-annoying, but you now know how to either hide it or remove the thing permanently from view. And also, you should find yourself much more focused right from the get-go since you don't have to worry about dealing with such an annoyance anymore. Good riddance!

So, what do you think of Adobe's petty attempts at making users upgrade to a paid version? The comments section is right below.
