You can run this code from the JS Console to double the size of all the icons in your file. To do so copy the code, then go to Acrobat, press Ctrl+J to open the Console window, paste the code into it, select it all with the mouse and press Ctrl+Enter to run it. You can run it again to make it double the size once more, etc.
Unfortunately, this does not affect any sticky notes you add after ru

I believe you are looking for the option to change the opacity of the sticky notes so that when you open the document it would populate in a larger size than its opening currently?
You can make the changes in the pop-up size as well as the sticky notes font size by changing the commenting's preferences settings.
- Open the document you have the annotation (notes)
- Select "Comment" from the tools menu and select icon shown below
- Select "Commenting Preferences" Or you can select Edit (upper left corner)>Preferences>Commenting
- Change the Pop-up Opacity or Font size (if you want to increase that too)
Hope this is what you were referring to.

This does not answer the question. Your answer talks about how to adjust the opacity of the highlighting, not the size of the sticky note. Who labeled this "Correct answer" ??

This answer is not addressing the issue at all. The labe 'Correct Answer' is inadequate in my view.
The problem is that Adobe Acrobat DC (e.g. 19.21.20061.361316) shows in any freshly opened PDF document only tiny little dots not visible unless you know it is there. This basically hides the comments I have added to a document. I already had colleagues who thought I had not commented a PDF at all, while it was full of comments. The icon shown while the comment is closed needs to be bigger and more conspicuous. This is the issue, not the font size or other preferences in terms of the comment once that comment pop-up window is open. What Adobe should do at least is offer a preference setting where the size of the icon can be made bigger. And then I believe they should make that icon bigger by default. With Acrobat Reader DC they gone from one extreme to the other. Requiring everyone to cumbersomely switch first to the Tools and there to the Comments Tools before one may notice that a PDF contains some comments is just silly in these times where everyone has to work under high time pressure. With this (and not only this) Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Adobe has certainly made no progress. Unfortunately older version, which were much better, crash these days. Thus I am stuck with this bad program (or switch to an alternative).
