So you can do that by clicking on the note button down here. The more traditional thing to do with annotations is to add notes. That helps if there's images or specific lay outs and you want to have an areas that's link rather than text. So go to link there, move this out of the way, and then you can go ahead and basically define a rectangle like that.
You can also go and define just an area of the document to link.

Click here, and you get this dialogue here, and go ahead and decide that you want it to be a link within the PDF to somewhere else or you can decide that you want it to be a URL to link to. And the same thing here, I could choose different colors, I could choose a different width and I could also click here and it would bring up the text panel, which then I can go ahead and change a lot of qualities of the text.Īnother thing you can do it select something here and you can go ahead and create a link. Now, you can also draw a box of text by clicking on this tool, drawing a line like that ad then typing in. They'll just drop off the screen here but I can actually see a list of colors I'll choose green, and I'll choose a new line width and when I draw on the screen, I'll get something a little different. Now, we can adjust the line width and the color by selecting these little menus here. Once you've done them you can go ahead and move them around the screen, you can grab the edges and adjust where they go, and you can select one like I've done now and just hit the delete key to remove it. We can do the same thing with the circle and the rectangle. So, we click on either an arrow, an oval or a rectangle- here, let's try the arrow- and what we get here is the ability to draw and arrow from one point to the next. Okay, we can also draw a little bit on the document. So that's pretty much the three simplest things we can do. We could also strike it thru, if we select it again and choose strike thru. So, for instance, we could go ahead and select some text, like that, and do several things with it, like highlight it. That will bring up this little list of items here at the bottom that you can use to mark up the document. In here I can click on this button that says "annotate". So, hear we are in Preview and I've opened up a PDF file actually a chapter from the new book. Let's go and take a look at how that works.
