Sometimes there is a need to add notes to a PDF document, add text comments or highlight different parts of it.
Until today, to add annotations to a PDF document you either had to have a purchased version of a PDF Editor (e.g. Adobe Acrobat PRO DC.), or do it with an online tool (such as Acrobat online PDF editor, etc.).
