Drawing objects in Acrobat DC

In the version of Acrobat previous to DC, I could draw lines, circles and other shapes on PDF. I used this capability frequently to cross out sections of forms I would send customers so they'd not waste time. In DC, however, I can't seem to find how to draw a line. Any ideas?

Hi Toepper,

You can find those options in the Commenting tools (click Tools, then click Open under the Comment icon). The Commenting tools will appear at the top of the window; you can access the shape tools by clicking the rightmost icon.

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Best,

Sara

I'm importing a pdf into InDesign, and the shapes that were made with the Tools in the Comments section, are not importing in with the rest of the file. Previously, shapes that were made, would. Is there a way to get around this? I tried flattening the file, in Preflight, but the colored boxes that were made, were transparent, and are no longer transparent after flattening. Please help.

Hi Sara,

Can you please advise if you can create blocks in DC? i.e. a cross-hair symbol or similar composed of translucent circles, lines and shaded shapes in which all elements of the symbol can be grouped and moved around the page at will, copied and transferred to other PDFs?

Thanks,

Ben
