PDF Annotation

 

PDF Annotation allows users to add annotations and markups to PDF documents from within the IQdesktop client without the need for third party tools.  In order to use this feature, the ImageQuest user must have the “Annotate Document Image” permission.  To create a new annotation, right-click on a .PDF file and select “Annotate” from the menu or from the “Document” tab click the “Annotate” button.

The three tabs along the left allow the user to switch between thumbnail view, bookmarks, and a list of annotations on the document.  Once the document has been saved, it will become the latest revision and the new active document when viewing the image.


Note:  Annotations cannot be edited nor deleted once the document has been saved.

In the example below, Insert pages before is selected and the user locates and selects the Invoice – Supplement PDF file from their local system.  To insert, they click “Open”.
