PDF Annot

PDF Annot is a software tool that was developed in order to provide users with a simple means of creating audio and text annotations, and adding them to PDFs.

You are requires to go through a simple installation process, which does not take very long and does not bring any kind of unpleasant surprises. Upon completing it, you are met with a simple interface, which is only comprised of a menu bar, a few buttons and a pane which enables you to view the uploaded PDF file. It is suitable to all types of users, from beginners to highly experienced people.

This software utility lets you upload items only with the help of the integrated file browser, as the “drag and drop” feature is not supported, which can be considered a small setback, as it would have helped users manage files more efficiently.

When it comes to annotations, it is possible to place them at any location on the PDF, and they can be audio or text. You should know you can select a WAV file from the hard drive, as well as record your voice in order to use it as an annotation. The text one can be created with a title and a description.

This program enables you to easily browse through all the pages of your document through a navigation panel, and you can also zoom in and out of it.

The app is quite friendly to your system’s performance, the response time is good and the interface is minimal. Nonetheless, you should know that it is quite unstable, behaving quite erratically at times and not letting you add annotations or save the changes made. PDF Annot is a pretty decent piece of software, yet it is in dire need of an update.
