How to Add Sticky Notes and Stamps to a PDF
Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team
Sticky notes and stamps are two of the fastest annotation types — a sticky note attaches a short comment to a specific point without taking up page space, while a stamp applies a standard mark like "Approved" or "Reviewed" in one click.
When to use each type
- ·Sticky note — a short comment attached to a specific point, collapsed until clicked, useful when you have a lot of feedback and do not want it all visible at once
- ·Stamp — a standard, reusable mark like "Approved," "Draft," or a checkmark, useful for repetitive annotations across many pages or documents
