Add an audio comment (Windows, Mac OS only)

Commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow typically include commenting rights.

You can use the Record Audio Comment tool to add a prerecorded WAV or AIFF file as a comment or to record and place an audio comment in a document. Audio attachments appear in the Comments list and can be played back on any platform. However, the appropriate hardware and software for playing audio files must be installed.

The Record Audio Comment tool doesn’t not appear in the Comment & Markup toolbar by default. However, you can add it by choosing Tools > Customize Toolbars.
