PDF Comments and Sticky Notes Make Proofing Simple

Adobe Acrobat comments and sticky notes are one of the quickest and most accurate ways to proof artwork. Instead of describing where a change is needed, reviewers can place comments directly onto the PDF using simple instructions such as delete, replace, or add. This speeds up communication and helps everyone involved in the project understand exactly what needs to be changed.

PDF comments can be shared between clients, designers, artworkers, and project managers, with each amendment displaying the reviewer’s name. Replies can be added to comments, creating a clear record of decisions throughout the proofing process. Text can also be copied and pasted directly from a PDF, helping to reduce typing errors and improve accuracy.

For Sarahjane, Adobe Acrobat comments provide an invaluable visual checklist when making amendments. Even if page numbers change during production, every comment remains attached to the correct location, making updates faster and more reliable. This efficient workflow is especially useful for large reports, brochures, catalogues, and other multi-page documents.

Artwork Production from an Approved Design

Designed by the Art Director at Killer Creative and artworked by Sarahjane Jackson, this project demonstrates the seamless transition from creative concept to production-ready artwork. Working from the approved branding and design concept, Sarahjane produced both the 44-page Student Handbook and the Pre-arrival Handbook as professional, print-ready Adobe InDesign publications.

Following PDF proof reviews, Sarahjane carefully implemented all client amendments and final corrections using Adobe Acrobat comments, delivering accurate, high-quality artwork on schedule. The finished handbooks maintained the original creative vision while ensuring every detail was technically correct and ready for professional printing.
