Key Features
Versatile Annotations: Add text, shapes, arrows, and highlights to documents, providing flexibility in how you mark up and customize your files.
Multi-Page PDF Navigation: Scroll through and annotate multiple pages of PDFs directly from within the Markup Tool. Easily navigate between pages and continue adding annotations as you go.
