Marking up documents using drawing tools
You can use the drawing tools to mark up a document with lines, circles, and other shapes,
called drawing markups. You can also add a note to the pop-up window of any drawing
markup. Drawing tools appear on the Drawing Markups toolbar and its subset, the
Drawing toolbar. When selecting a drawing tool, consider the effect you want:
●
The Rectangle tool , the Oval tool , the Arrow tool , and the Line tool let
you create simple shapes.
●
The Polygon tool creates a closed shape with multiple segments. The Polygon Line
tool creates an open shape with multiple segments.
●
The Cloud tool works the same way as the Polygon tool, but the segments turn into a
cloud shape when you finish drawing.
●
The Pencil tool creates free-form drawings, and the Pencil Eraser tool removes
the pencil markups that you scrub.
●
The Dimensioning tool lets you create lines with special properties that measure
dimensions in the PDF document. (See Using the Dimensioning tool .)
To use the drawing tools to create a markup:
1. To select a drawing tool, choose one of the following:
●
Tools > Drawing Markups > [drawing tool] or Show Drawing Toolbar.
●
Comment & Markup > Drawing Markups Tools > Show Drawing Toolbar.
2. Add a markup to the PDF document:
●
If you're drawing a rectangle or oval, drag across the area where you want the drawing
comment to appear.
●
If you're drawing a line, drag across the area where you want the line to appear. If you're
drawing an arrow, the arrow pointer appears where you begin drawing.
●
If you're drawing a polygon or polygon line, click a starting point, move the pointer and
click to create a segment of the polygon, and then continue clicking to create segments of
the polygon. When you finish drawing the polygon, click the starting point or double-click
to close the shape. Double-click to end a polygon line.
●
Use the same method to draw a cloud. When you finish, the cloud shape appears.
To draw a straight or diagonal line, a square, or a circle, press Shift while you draw
the markup. Make sure that you don't release Shift before you release the mouse button.
3. Using the Hand tool, double-click the markup to open the pop-up window, and type a note.
4. (Optional) Click the close button in the pop-up window. A note icon appears to the right
of the markup to indicate the presence of text in the pop-up window.
To delete a drawing markup:
Select the drawing markup, and press Delete.
To change the appearance of a drawing markup:
Do one of the following:
●
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the drawing markup, and then choose
Properties. Change options on the Appearance tab.
●
Using the Hand tool , select the drawing markup. Right-click (Windows) or Control-
click (Mac OS) the toolbar area, and then choose Properties Bar. Specify options in the
Properties toolbar to change the appearance of the selected shape.
