I'm working on a permit application for some project, and the city has sent me a PDF and asked me to reply to the comments.

I don't seem to find any comments or "reply" buttons anywhere, regardless of whether I use the basic document viewer, or even Okular. Normally, editable PDF forms are easily savable, but this is being problematic.

The instructions they provide, for context:

"This can be accomplished by using the “Reply” function in Bluebeam or in the Comment panel of Adobe Acrobat."

Can someone please guide me as to how to do the thing the previous paragraph wants me to do, assuming I'm running Ubuntu 20.04?

Master PDF Editor seems to do the trick.

  • Install Master PDF Editor (have to download the .deb and install)
  • Open the doc with Master PDF Editor
  • Click on the comment
  • Click the icon that looks like a "talk bubble" (as opposed to the color selection).
  • From within the comment, click "Options" on the right
  • Click on "Reply" to leave a reply

It doesn't look like there's a "save comment" type of option, so just leave the textbox open with your comment and when you save the doc, it will save your latest comment.
