PDF Annotation

SmartSimple now allows you to add annotations to uploaded PDF documents on the fly.

When the "Enable Annotation" option is selected on a multiple-file upload field, PDF documents uploaded to that field can be commented and marked up.

Comments, drawings, text strike-throughs and highlights can be added to any PDF without any downloads or browser plug-ins required.

Enabling PDF Annotation

• The PDF Annotation feature is a configurable option against Multiple File custom fields anywhere in the the system.

• To enable this then access the Multiple File custom field from within the UTA Settings tab.

• The Multiple File custom field have a number of options available against them, including an Enable Annotation option.

• Check this option and then click Save.

• Now when you go to the upload file field in edit mode then any documents that have been uploaded will have a small Annotate icon adjacent to them.
