Sticky notes pointer

Post by dartfrog »

Hello,

I need some help with the following;
I do like to use sticky notes in documents to give comment on specific parts of text of formulars. The notes are nicely ordered on the side of the pages in readable size. No problem there.
But, the pointer of the note is now a big square (often 1/4th of a page size), and not a point so I can't pinpoint a specific text or number.
Is it possible to change this? As far as I know, I haven't change anything and in earlier times it was possible.

Hope to hear from you with a sollution.

Thanks in advance.

Hello dartfrog,

Welcome to the Forum.

You can change the pointer, color and opacity of your sticky notes:

Hello dartfrog,

PDF XChange Viewer is an application that we have discontinued more then 14 years ago.

The Viewer was replaced with the PDF-XChange Editor / Editor Plus. You can read more about their features here:

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor

As you can see at the bottom of that page most of the Annotation/Comments features are available with the demo/unlicensed version of the Editor.
Best regards,
Jordan

Hello Jordan

Thanks for your reply

I missed the part that you stopped with the viewer.

I will use the newer model now.

Have a nice day.

Regards
Jordan
