Annotate PRO and Adobe Acrobat Online
Annotate PRO (AP) makes it easy to create and share simple or complex libraries of reusable comments, then use those beautifully crafted chunks of text to quickly respond to others. AP is optimized to work with Adobe Acrobat Online, facilitating marking up PDF documents online.

AP+ and Institutional users can use AP with Adobe Acrobat in Chrome or Edge.

AP not only sits alongside the web version of Adobe Acrobat but also Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Word, Canvas LMS, Schoology, Google Classroom, Google Docs –Â almost any EDU app you might think of. See how seamlessly AP sits alongside your PDF documents while grading.Â
The AP toolbar with Search and your favorite comments sits alongside the PDF document.Â
The AP sidebar provides fast access to potentially hundreds of snippets – focused on writing, student engagement & success – even mundane info around school resources and policies.
With One-click enabled you can simply click a comment bubble on the document where you want to comment, then search/scroll through your AP content, find the one you want and BAM! A beautiful, articulate explanation or comment appears. Of course, you can tweak to personalize.
Annotate PRO, an add-on for Google Chrome and Microsoft Word, allows me to streamline the [grading] process by creating an archive of comments that I can then drop right into student work or feedback sections. This enables me to easily add frequently used comments (such as the difference between summary and analysis, what constitutes common knowledge, and how to properly format a quotation) to student work regardless of the platform that I’m using…a huge timesaver that allows me to work through a stack of exams or papers (and even respond to emailed questions) surprisingly quickly and easily.
