How does the Annotation Summary Report work?

Generate a one-page PDF report summarising the annotations found in a source PDF. The report shows total page count, total annotations, breakdown by subtype (Highlight / Text / FreeText / Square / etc.), per-page counts, and a tally of distinct authors. Useful as a cover sheet when forwarding a marked-up PDF to stakeholders, a quick "review temperature check" before deciding which pages need attention, or a snapshot for compliance archives showing what was annotated and by whom.

🔒 Security & Privacy

All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.

📱 Use it on any device

Works in any modern browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and tablets. No installation, no app to download. Just open the page and start.

⚡ Quick & easy

Drag, drop, click. Most files process in seconds, not minutes. No watermarks added to your output, no per-day limits, and the tool always shows the result before asking you to download.

🎁 Always free, no signup

Free to use, every time. No account creation, no email required, no “trial” that converts to a paid plan. We make money from ads so you don’t have to pay.

Frequently asked

The report still generates with all-zero counts. Marks drawn by our annotation tools are page content, not /Annot objects, so they will not appear here — see the Add Comment / Highlight tool descriptions for context.
