Help Comments and markup

  2. Click a mark to select it, or drag a box to select every mark it touches.
  3. Drag a selected mark to move it; drag its handles to resize it.
  4. Use the arrow keys to nudge it; hold Shift for bigger steps.
  5. Press Delete to remove the selection.
  6. To copy marks, right-click and choose Copy. Then right-click a page (in this or another document) and choose Paste annotations, or press Ctrl+V.
