Add pencil or freehand drawings to PDF

With it you can add drawings by hand just like you would with a marker, pen or pencil. Each set of freehand drawings you add has its own pop-up note attached, meaning you can add a message to explain it further in text. (See the draw & markup PDF feature overview for related information.)

To add a freehand drawing:

1. Select the Pencil tool  from the toolbar.
2. Click and drag to draw. Any line you draw will be part of the one drawing markup and will have one pop-up note assigned to them.

To add a comment to your pencil drawing markup:

1. Select the Hand tool  from the toolbar.
2. Double-click the edge of the drawing.
3. In the pop-up note, enter your text message.

To update the appearance or properties of a pencil drawing:

1. Select the Hand tool  from the toolbar.
2. Right-click the drawing and select Properties.
3. Modify the color, opacity, etc.
4. Close the Comment Properties window.

Tip: You can change the default properties of your comments by right clicking on a note and choosing the Set Properties as Default option.

To open the Comments panel and view all comments, do one of the following:

• Select the Show/Hide Document panel  toolbar button, followed by the Comments panel  button.
• Choose View > Document panel > Comments.
• Use the F6 shortcut key, followed by the Comments panel  button.
