Annotating PDF materials enables you to record thoughts, impressions, or ideas for usage within each individual source.
To annotate a PDF:
- Select the citation in your EndNote 20 library and click on the PDF button in the right-hand preview panel. This will open the PDF in the side panel. In the top right-hand corner of the panel, there is a pop-out button that will open the PDF in a new window if you want to make it full-screen.
- Click on the comment icon at the top left of the PDF window to open the annotation toolbar.
- In the annotation toolbar, you will have the option to highlight, underline, or add a comment to your PDF.
- To use one of these tools, highlight the text in the PDF, and then click the appropriate icon.
- To save your work, use CTRL + S or close the window and select the option to save.
Any annotations that you make to a PDF in EndNote will remain saved for the future, and if you share your library the annotations will be shared as well.
