how to use highlight pen to circle and draw shapes on a document


i using pro dc construction plans, need circle , draw shapes , big words , shapes @ areas @ plans, found how highlight text.

please . thank you.

acrobat updated highlighter tool supposedly freeform tool, free-form capability works on documents scanned. unfortunate bug in when try highlight scanned pdf, acrobat automatically recognize scanned text , highlight text, it's not freeform tool @ all, because won't highlight correct areas can regular ol' highlighter pen on desk.

 

there couple of workarounds: if highlight regular shapes, proportion of rectangles, squares, , circles, can use custom stamps create highlighter shapes have blending mode: document geek: highlighting pdf contains no fonts. method looks nicest, , looks you've highlighted something. while acrobat stamps scalable, scale proportionally. square stamp can scaled larger or smaller square; never rectangle.

alternatively, if want more control, can use shape commenting tools (drawing markups), , reduce opacity. allow to, recision, outline shape of building n page, because blending mode set set normal (as opposed true multiply blending mode), obscures text bit. issue method if use sort comments color feature, yo have set color in 2 places: both stroke , fill, because acrobat sorts comments stroke color. if don't need sort color, , aren't concerned having details obscured, using shape tools best bet.
