How to draw on a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader for FREE

Hi. How to draw on a PDF? This is a quick

tip guide.

Now you open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat

Reader,

and once you've done that it's not

obvious where the drawing tools are, but

what you want to find is the comments.

Scroll down this bar here and see

comment there.

Now if it's some reason you don't see it

there, you can go into tools,

then comment

and that will open up all the drawing

tools.

Now what you're looking for is the pen

tool which is this one here. So, when you

click on it it's activated, when you

click on again it's not activated, it

goes back to arrow.

So, if I want to create a new drawing

I'll left mouse click on it and then I

can draw

on the PDF.

Now as you can see it's created a new

annotation for that section there, so if

I go through what's previously been

highlighted

and click on there it comes up all in

one. You can

do other things with it. So, you can

change the color, for example,

you can change the line thickness

and that is just for that one. Now to

create another one what you do is

uncheck the pencil tool and check it

again

and then it goes into newer mode, and you

can pick

different color,

different line thicknesses

and it creates a new annotation.

So, you'll find that on the right hand

side.

Now I've got two, I've got this one here

and I've got this one here.

Now if I want to delete one of them I

can do we can just highlight it and

press delete key.

I can also rub out

parts of one as well.

So, if I

left mouse click on there and then click

on the rubber,

make sure it's selected.

It should have that little black mark

there and it should show a rubber as a

cursor, I can rub out parts of it. It's

not the greatest in the world where it

works so these are little bits for

example well that's now done so I can

finish that off.

As you can see,

it doesn't append it to existing

(INDISTINCT) it creates a new one,

with that I can change it to green

and I can change the thickness to

whatever I want,

so now I've got two together.

So, that's a quick guide on how to use a

drawing tool. When you're finished click,

save file menu, save as and

save it to there,

can reload it later and send it to other

people. And that's a quick

guide on how to use the drawing tool in

Adobe reader.

Give it a try.
