Callout
Callout lets you add a short note that points at a specific paragraph, figure, signature line, or other spot on the page. When you save, the callout becomes a real PDF annotation.
How to do it
- Choose Callout, from the toolbar or the Annotate tools.
- Pick text and leader-line styling if you want something other than the defaults.
- Drag the text box.
- Click the page spot the arrow should point to.
- Type the note, then press Enter to place it (Esc to cancel).
What to know
- Drag the box to reposition it; the arrow stays put. Move the text box anywhere and the leader line re-points from the box's edge to the same target.
- Resize it from the corner handles once it's selected.
- Right-click a callout (or any annotation) for quick actions — Pin, Delete, and Edit text.
- Pin it to lock it. Click the pin badge in the box's corner to lock a callout in place — a pinned callout can't be moved and lets clicks pass through to whatever's underneath, so it won't get in your way. Click the pin again to unpin.
- Remove it with the ×. An unpinned callout shows a small × next to its pin; click it to delete the box and leader together. Unpin first to reveal the ×.
- It's held until you Save, then saved as a PDF annotation.
- Print markup controls printing. Leave Print markup on to include saved callouts when printing, or turn it off before saving new callouts.
- Flatten markup makes it permanent. Use Flatten markup when you want the callout baked into the page.
- Prepare for Filing asks first. If saved RaioPDF markup is present, filing offers to flatten it or keep it live before continuing.
- It behaves as one pending edit. Undo or remove clears the text box and leader arrow together.
- Reorganizing pages clears unsaved callouts. If you rotate, delete, or reorder pages before saving, callouts you haven't saved are cleared — save first.
