What is Add Comments to PDF?

Add Comments to PDF is the process of adding text comments, notes, and annotations to PDF files. Comments can be positioned on specific pages with custom text, author names, and optional X/Y coordinates for precise placement. This is essential for collaboration, feedback, reviews, document annotation, and team communication.

According to MDN Web Docs, the FileReader API enables reading PDF files in the browser. Our Add Comments to PDF tool uses pdf-lib, a powerful JavaScript library for PDF manipulation. The pdf-lib library provides comprehensive PDF processing capabilities that can add text overlays, annotations, and comments to PDF documents.

Adding comments to PDF is essential for document collaboration, providing feedback on documents, reviewing proposals and contracts, annotating research papers, and communicating changes or suggestions. Our tool adds comments as visible text boxes on PDF pages, making them perfect for collaboration, feedback, and reviews.

Best Practices for PDF Repair

Following these best practices ensures optimal PDF repair results:

1

Identify Corruption Early

If a PDF file won't open or displays errors, try repairing it as soon as possible. The longer corruption exists, the more difficult it may be to recover content. Early repair increases the chances of recovering all pages and content from your PDF file.

2

Backup Original Files

Before repairing, make a backup copy of your corrupted PDF file. While our repair tool is safe and non-destructive, having a backup ensures you can try alternative repair methods if needed. Keep the original file until you've verified the repaired version is satisfactory.

3

Understand Repair Limitations

PDF repair can extract valid pages and content, but severely corrupted pages may be skipped. If a PDF is too damaged (e.g., completely encrypted or binary corrupted), it may not be repairable. The tool will extract all recoverable content and rebuild a clean PDF with what can be salvaged.

4

Verify Repaired Files

After processing, verify that the PDF with comments opens correctly and displays all comments properly. Check that comments appear on the correct pages and that text is readable. Test the PDF in different PDF viewers to ensure compatibility.
