    That makes more sense! 😊

    Presumedly you mean this tool:

    The tool does stay selected until you select another tool. 

    Do you mean you can’t select another tool?

    Hi everyone,

    If Draw freehand in Adobe Acrobat is not working or behaving as expected, see the consolidated annotation and commenting guide below. It covers Draw freehand and related drawing tools, including Line, Arrow, Rectangle, and Circle, along with markup properties and other annotation workflows.

    What is the difference you are experiencing from your prior version to your current?
    Please clarify what tool “draw free from bottom” is actually called in Acrobat.

    Are the other annotations working? Is this happening just with one document or with all documents? Are you getting an error message?

    Hi avid_Brilliance7ebd,


    Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble caused.


    Could you please confirm if you are referring to the Draw free-form tool in Acrobat? If so, I would appreciate it if you could provide more details about the issues you're encountering.


    We have tested the tool on our end, and it appears to be functioning correctly. If you could share a short video or screenshot that demonstrates the problem, it would be very helpful for us to investigate further.

    Additionally, please let us know the versions of Acrobat and your operating system that you are using.


    We look forward to your response.


    Thanks,

    Meenakshi
