- Viewing Comments
- Font and Font Size: Specifies the default font and size for text in the comment pop-up notes. These settings will take effect after you restart Foxit PDF Editor.
- Pop-up opacity: Sets the opacity of pop-up notes for annotation commands.
- Print notes and pop-ups: Specify whether or not to print sticky notes and pop-up notes associated with comments in PDF as they appear on the page. Please note that if you want to print the pop-up notes associated with comments, you should open the pop-up notes that you want to print in the PDF file, and adjust their placement on the page before printing to ensure that they don’t overlap or spill off the page. While printing, make sure that you select the Document and markups option in Print What group in the Print dialog box.
- Ensure that pop-ups are visible as the document is scrolled: Ensure that the pop-up boxes float along with the page as the document is scrolled. This option is checked by default.
- Hide the pop-up note icon: Specify whether to show the pop-up note icons for comments that include text messages in the pop-up notes. When this option is unchecked, you will find a small bubble around the comment if it includes text messages in the pop-up note.
- Automatically open pop-ups on mouse rollover: This option enables Foxit PDF Editor to automatically open the pop-up note when you move your mouse over comments of any type with the Hand command or Select Annotation command selected.
- Making Comments
- Always use User Name of the log-in account for Author name: Select the option to use the user name of the log-in account as the author name while making comments. If a user does not set the user name for the Foxit log-in account, the prefix of the email address will be used as the author name instead.
- Copy selected text into Highlight, Squiggly Underline, Underline, and Strikeout comment pop-ups: Check this option to copy and paste the selected text to comment pop-up notes automatically when you highlight, squiggly underline, underline, or strikeout annotation in PDF documents.
- Automatically open comment pop-ups for comments other than notes: Check this option to automatically open the pop-up notes to input text messages when you add comments using the Text Markup tools, Drawing Markup tools (except Pencil), and Stamp tools.
- Copy encircled text into Drawing comment pop-ups: Check this option to copy and paste the text circled using the Drawing Markup tools (except Pencil) to the pop-up notes automatically when you add drawing markups in PDF documents.
- Pencil Settings:
- Enable to select pencil annotation when drawing: when the Pencil command is selected, the cursor changes into a pencil
. If this option is selected, the pencil changes into an arrow 
when you put it over a pencil annotation, and you can click the annotation to select it. If the option is not selected, the pencil will not change into an arrow. - Click to create annotations: if selected, you start to draw with the pencil when you click on the page, and in other words, only one click creates a pencil annotation; if not selected, you do not start to draw until you click and drag the pencil.
- Set Timeout: specifies a period of time within which all of the drawings/plans completed is one pencil annotation, after which what you draw is another pencil annotation.
Floating Toolbar:
Show floating toolbar when comments are created or selected: Specify whether to show the floating toolbar that allows users to perform further operations (modify properties, open pop-up notes, etc.) after a comment is created or selected. This option is selected by default.
