How to Unlock PDF Annotator

seperator

PDF Annotator is mainly used by many people in the department to electronically grade student papers.   After a student uploads his homework or test, it is converted into a PDF document.  Rather than printing it out so it can be graded, using PDF Annotator, the teacher or grader loads the PDF and using either a writing tablet or just a mouse, the PDF can be written on and then saved with the added markups.

Everyone is allowed to download PDF Annotator and use it for free for 30 days.  After that, you will not be able to save files without purchasing it.   If the department purchases it for you, all you will need to do is enter some information to unlock it and it will be the full version.  The unlock key and license number will be given to you by the manufacturer if you purchase the software yourself or by the administrators.

This webpage was created to assist users in unlocking PDF Annotator.
