Creating PDF documents is usually associated with Adobe Acrobat. That's because Acrobat is the most popular and known application for creating and annotating PDFs. But despite its popularity, this application has some downsides, it's difficult to use, takes up a lot of system resources and it's expensive. On the other hand, PDF Annotator offers almost the same features as Adobe Acrobat, but it's much easier to use and takes up less system resources.

Even if the word annotate is included in the program's name, PDF Annotator can also create PDF files from scratch, using an interface similar to the one of Microsoft Word. After installing and launching the program, PDF Annotator will automatically load a sample PDF file, on which you will be able to annotate and write, just like writing on a regular piece of paper.

The program doesn't allow you to modify existing elements inside PDF files, but allows you to write and draw over them freely. Besides that, the user can also create PDF files from scratch and add various elements to them. Regarding annotation, there are numerous types of elements that can be added to an existing PDF file, like symbols, lines, shapes and so on.

For an easier navigation, the user can define various bookmarks. After a document is finished editing or annotating, the user can print it directly from the application, he can send it as an email attachment or he can save it as a PDF file. A useful feature included in PDF Annotator is the possibility of creating PDFs from any application that supports the printing feature, as PDF Annotator adds a virtual PDF printer into the Windows system.

In this way, you will be able to annotate even scanned documents, which have various graphical formats. By accessing the settings area, the user will be able to customize and configure almost the entire functionality and appearance of PDF Annotator.

Pros

It allows you to annotate any PDF document and write over it just like writing on a piece of paper. Besides that, it allows you to create PDFs from scratch. Furthermore, it allows creating PDFs from virtually any application that supports the printing feature.

Cons

Some program features may be more difficult to understand by some inexperienced computer users. Using PDF Annotator, you will be able to easily annotate any PDF document and create PDFs from scratch using various text writing and drawing tools.
