Easily Annotate and Sync Cloud PDFs with WPS Office
WPS Office provides a seamless way to add comments, sticky notes, and highlights to your PDF documents. With built-in WPS Cloud integration, all your annotations are automatically synced across your devices.

- 2. Access the Comment tools: Navigate to the top menu bar and click on the 'Comment' tab to view all annotation features.
- 3. Insert a Sticky Note: Click on the 'Note' icon in the toolbar, then click anywhere on your document to place the sticky note and type your comment.
- 4. Save and sync: Click the 'Save' icon or press Ctrl+S. If you are working from a cloud file, your annotations will automatically sync to WPS Cloud.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reply to a sticky note left by someone else on a cloud PDF?
Yes, when viewing a shared cloud PDF, you can click on an existing sticky note to open the comment thread and type your reply directly beneath the original comment.
Why are my PDF comments not saving to the cloud?
This typically happens if you lose your internet connection or if you only have 'view-only' permissions for the shared cloud document. Verify your network connection and request editing permissions if necessary.
Can I print the PDF with the sticky notes visible?
Yes. In the print dialog settings of most PDF editors, including WPS Office and Acrobat, you can select 'Document and Markups' or check 'Print comments' to ensure the sticky notes and annotations appear on the printed page.
