Click and drag the sticky note to reposition it.

Enter the desired note content within the associated pop-up note text box. This content will be displayed when the pointer is hovered over the icon subsequently. Text style options are enabled in the Properties Toolbar when text is being entered. See here for an explanation of these options. Right-click when entering/editing text to launch the text editing options menu. These options are explained here.

Use the arrow keys to reposition sticky notes.

Right-click sticky notes for further options. See here for an explanation of these options.

Sticky note options are enabled in the Properties Toolbar when the Sticky Note Tool is selected:

Fill Color determines the color of the sticky note. Click the color box to select the fill color.

Icon determines the icon of the sticky note. Click the icon to select which icon to use for sticky notes.

Opacity determines the level of transparency for the sticky note. Click the opacity icon to select a new value for the opacity.

Keep Selected determines whether or not the Sticky Note Tool remains selected after a single sticky note has been created. If this option is enabled then the tool will remain selected and can be used to create several sticky notes consecutively. If this option is not enabled then PDF-XChange Editor will revert to the designated default tool immediately after creating a sticky note.

Exclusive Mode simplifies the process of using the Sticky Note Tool. When Exclusive Mode is enabled, the pointer ignores all interactive elements of documents other than base content. This makes it possible to create sticky notes on areas that overlap with other content without the risk of accidentally selecting undesired items. When Exclusive Mode is disabled, the pointer recognizes and interacts with all underlying elements in the standard manner.

Click Properties to view/edit further sticky note properties. See here for information on tool properties.

The Commenting section of the Preferences dialog box can be used to view/edit preferences for comments.

The Comment Styles Palette can be used to save customized sticky note styles for subsequent use. Right-click the Sticky Note icon in the Commenting Toolbar to view existing styles and/or access the Comment Styles Palette.
