Acrobat Comments - Pen Tool and Wacom Tablet - Dysfunctional

When using the comments, marking up documents with the pencil tool, I use a Wacom tablet with pen. The pencil tool is dysfunctional and frustrating so I need to mark up in another program before resaving as pdf. Lines using the pencil tool are slow to show up and disconnect from cursor randomly. This seems like it should be a simple function in acrobat.
