Comment, highlight and link a PDF — as real annotations
Sticky notes, editable highlights and hyperlinks that any PDF reader can open, edit or remove.
Comment & link PDF now — free →Bindery writes standard PDF annotation objects — Text (sticky note) comments with popups, Highlight, Square and FreeText marks with proper appearance streams, and Link annotations to a web address or another page of the same file. Open the result in Acrobat, Preview, Chrome or Edge and the comments are there to read, edit, reply to or delete.
Existing links on a page are listed too, so you can strip a dead URL or a tracking link before sending. Prefer permanent marks? Turn “editable annotations” off and Markup draws them into the page instead. Bindery runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing to delete from a server afterwards.
How it works
- Drop the PDF and open Comment & link
- Pin notes, drag highlights and boxes, draw a box and enter a URL or page number
- Apply — the annotations are written locally and the file downloads
Questions people ask
Can the recipient edit or delete my comments?
Yes — that is the point of real annotations. They are standard objects with author, date and contents, editable in any full PDF reader. Use Markup’s flattened mode when marks must be permanent.
Do highlights show in every viewer?
Yes. Each annotation carries its own appearance stream (a multiply-blended fill for highlights), so viewers that do not synthesise appearances still display it.
Can I link to another page instead of a URL?
Yes. Type a page number instead of a URL and Bindery writes an internal destination that jumps to that page.
