The scenario:
I am marking up a PDF of a PowerPoint presentation in preparation for running a technical training course.
There are lots of very technical slides and I am adding stamps, boxes, arrows and text so I can deliver all 800 slides in a comprehensible manner.
In particular, I have text boxes with arrows and numbered stamps that guide me through complex explanations.
The problem:
Acrobat offers no way to bring an annotation to the front or send it to the back.
Furthermore, while, in general, the most recent annotation is on top, this is not always the case. Sometimes, a new annotation will underlap an existing one.
The question:
Do you know any rules-of-thumb (or sleight of hand!) that can help me control the layering in the rather astounding absence of Bring-Forward/Send Back operators.
I realise that the creators of Acrobat probably envisaged annotations as editors tools. However, in this paperless age, Acrobat is replacing a sack full of highlighers, correcting tape and brightly coloured pens as a way of adding value to an existing document.
Versions: Acrobat XI on OS X Mountain Lion. Everything has the latest patches.
Thank you for your help.
