Adobe Acrobat Pop-Up Notes Evolution

The design of the Acrobat Pop-Up Notes (used with the Commenting feature) needed some major work. Here's an example of the Acrobat 5 pop-up note. It was basically just a note on a page. There was no special functionality in the note.

In Acrobat 6, the Pop-up Notes were updated with new functionality and a new look and feel. (see example below). Users could now take advantage of a Commenting tab that allowed them to manage all of the comments associated with a document.

In Acrobat 7, the Commenting features including the Pop-up Notes were further refined. (see example below).

Why Design Portamento?

Portamento is a musical term that means: a smooth uninterrupted glide in passing from one tone to another. Music influences many of my designs and this term relates to one of the principles of good user experience design — to glide from one interaction to another. Hence, I use the term portamento for this design blog.
