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.
