B) Optional: Set Pop-up Opacity to 100%

Positioning the Sticky Notes for Print
Acrobat does not provide a 1 to 1 correspondence between the appearance of sticky notes on-screen and your printed output.
I had best results with my document viewed at 75%.
You will need to spend some time positioning the Sticky Notes where you want them to print.
