The comment and markup tools When you open a pdf file in Acrobat, at the top of the screen is the toolbar.[2] Three sets of button tools are useful in marking up pdf proofs: ‘comment' tools (the default icon looks like a sticky note), ‘graphic markup' tools (a pencil), and ‘text markup' tools (a highlighter pen).
To the right of each default button is a small triangle pointing downwards; clicking on the triangle gives you access via a drop-down menu to all the tools in the group – choose ‘Expand this button' (last in the list) to have the tools readily accessible.[3] To get started, look at the tools. There are three in this group: a pen, a tool and an tool (it's obvious from their icons which is which). To select a tool, click once on its button – the cursor will change to an I-beam imposed on a small selection rectangle. Now click and drag on some text in the pdf just as you would if you were in Word; this will highlight, cross out or underline the text.

By Steve Borgatti Discussion drawn from: Glaser and Strauss. 1967. The Discovery of Grounded Theory. Strauss and Corbin. 1990. Basics of Qualitative Research. Goals and Perspective The phrase "grounded theory" refers to theory that is developed inductively from a corpus of data.
Grounded theory takes a case rather than variable perspective, although the distinction is nearly impossible to draw. Part and parcel of the case-orientation is a comparative orientation. The grounded theory approach, particularly the way Strauss develops it, consists of a set of steps whose careful execution is thought to "guarantee" a good theory as the outcome. Although not part of the grounded theory rhetoric, it is apparent that grounded theorists are concerned with or largely influenced by emic understandings of the world: they use categories drawn from respondents themselves and tend to focus on making implicit belief systems explicit.
