Changing the look of your drawing and markup tools
Recently Chris Dahl looked at how you can set the default look of your PDF annotations and pop-up notes, but I thought I’d look further into some of the appearance settings you can change for your drawing markups in Nitro Pro. These include the shapes (rectangle, line, arrow, oval, polygon, and so on), as well as the freehand Pencil tool. The exact changes can vary depending on the tool, but here’s a quick summary:
- Line style. Choose from several different line styles, including different ‘dashed’ lines.
- Line thickness. Depending on the kinds of PDF files you’re marking up, you might find the need to thicken up or thin out the thickness that’s used by default.
- Color. Control the border color.
- Fill color. When coloring the body of a markup is necessary, this lets you set it.
- Opacity. When you want content beneath your markups to be visible.
I won’t repeat what Chris has already covered, so if you’d like to customize the look of your drawing markups, follow the step he’s already outlined.

Please explain the following to me. Are you saying that there are only some PDF files that can be converted to Excel?
This is what came back to me when I tried to convert from pdf to excel:
No Tables:
August 14, 2009Test to convert to Excel.pdf did not contain any tables that could be converted to Excel.
It relies on there being content in the PDF file that can be identified as a
August 15, 2009table. It doesn't just dump everything from your PDF file into an Excel
spreadsheet, it intelligently detects tables and extracts *only* the tables,
so you don't get an Excel file filled with junk.
If you tried a PDF that has tables but it didn't convert, please provide us
with a link to the PDF.
