We have worked with PDF documents in the previous recipe. Therefore, use the comments on them. You can review PDF documents in two different ways: add sticky notes or highlight some text. In case you do not want to use Adobe Reader, Open Office and Microsoft Word also provide reviewing facilities, so these are other options to bear in mind.
We need to work with Adobe Reader as well in this recipe. Use the file that has been worked with in the previous two recipes so as to avoid creating a new file. Why should we add some comments? So as to guide students on how to complete a chart and add comments to a piece of writing, among other ideas.
The aim of the recipe is to focus on the way to add comments to the PDF file; therefore, we are not dealing with the document but how to review it. We are covering the two ways to review a file; we can also combine them in order to use both the tools. Enter Adobe Reader and open a file. Follow these steps:
On the right-side of the document, you can see the words that you have highlighted and the sticky notes as well as the comments that were added to the PDF. It is shown in the following screenshot:
We can add a resource to our Moodle course as done in the previous recipe, therefore, instead of uploading a file from Open Office, upload a .pdf
file with sticky notes or highlighted comments.
