• Tap the “+” icon to import a PDF and open it in PDFgear on your iPhone or iPad.

• Once the file is open, tap the Edit button in the upper-right corner.
• After entering Edit mode, select the Annotate tab at the top to access all annotation tools. From here, you can:

Highlight text

Underline text

Strikethrough text

Draw with a pen

Mark up the text

Add shapes

Insert notes

Erase annotations

• Tap the Highlight icon in the Annotate toolbar. Long-press and drag over the text you want to highlight, then choose your preferred highlight color.

• Tap the Underline icon, then long-press the text you want to underline. You can also change the underline color to suit your preference.

• Tap the Strikethrough icon, then select the text you want to strike through. Adjust the color if needed for better visibility.

• Tap the Insert Text icon, then tap anywhere on the page to add a text box. Enter your text, and customize the font color and size.

• Tap the Pen icon to start drawing on the PDF. You can adjust the pen color, change line thickness, or enable Draw in Straight Line for precise strokes.

• Tap the Marker icon to apply a marker-style highlight on selected areas. You can modify the marker color, adjust the opacity or thickness, and turn on Straight Line mode for cleaner markup.

• Tap the Eraser icon and drag over the drawings or marks you want to remove. It works with annotations made using the Pen or Marker tools.
